Mega Man Megathread

I did.

I use VBA to get all the stuff in game by quick load and save. Do you think it will work? I got shotgun and M-cannon.

Use mGBA. It's much better and more accurate.

VBA was so useful to me I can even record my game on an old Pentium 4! Windows itself can't do that!

You can do that in mGBA, too.

My favorite boss in megaman zero is definitely omega in all his form and his backstory.
Have anyone played GBA megaman network battle?

Played and beaten 1-3, haven't beaten 4 and 5 yet and I've never played 6. Played a tiny bit of 4.5 and Battle Chip Challenge does not exist.

4 is so hard and have a lot of interesting mechanic like weather.if you beat a boss in bad weather you get new item.

I played all the Battle Network games 1-6 including 4.5 and even the Starforce games for good measure.
I finished all those games 1-2 years ago and they became some of my favorites, I even replayed 1-4 a second time because of the experience I had by the end of BN6 and wanting to refresh the story events and craft new battle strategies with the chips that didn't make it in later entires.

Out of all the games my favorites are BN5,BN6 and Starforce 3.

When BN came out I never liked it and didn't bother trying the games out because it didn't have Zero as a playable character (Back then I was obsessed with X4 as a kid). I'm glad my friends got me to try out the games especially the Starforce series.

Edit: I played some of those games on my phone via Pizza Boy GBA

My strategy: put all powerful battle chip and shotgun in one line. Load an save to always get best result.
I use this to get battle chips from fights.
I play some others gba on phone too but with gba emulator I find. It has 8 save plus its quick save. I play bookworm and FFAA(final fantasy tactics advance) on my emulator.

I remember using some busted combos with Freeze + Break chips to deal x3 or x4 times the damage to certain bosses, fun times. I might replay BN5 with Team Protoman to see what that version has to offer.

I have a question. I heard some emulator let people play gba online with others like VBA. Does it work for megaman battle network too?

Ah you might be talking about Tango, I tried to use it in the past but I couldn't test it with someone back then. It works exclusively with the BN games and has rollback netcode. I can't help much there because Tango now became a mod for the BN Legacy on steam and it requires a legal copy of that to work as far as I know.

Beside this and Parsec I don't know of any other GBA emulators that let you play online with others as I recall most of them are local only.

Pizzaboy GBA does let you connect two phones to play multiplayer next to each other.

Like play special force iwith friends. I mean VBA I think they add something like that but perhaps like Hotspot and wifi. I think I will make a post about that.
You know play old games online is so cool. We still play counter strike 1.6 online!

I also play old games online with Fightcade anything that was on the arcades or the Dreamcast can be played with others there real easily. But we're getting off topic.

I would have loved for Starforce 3 to get Rollback netcode the same way they did with Battle Network + Tango.

I wonder what's the next Mega Man game going to be...

 

[happymasksalesman]

I actually find this:
First, obtain Visial Boy Advance Link 1.8.0. This is the GBA emulator; search for it using Google.

Next, get a ROM for either Falzar or Gregar version. Once again, search for "Mega Man Battle Network 6 ROM" using Google.

Also, you'll need to download Hamachi squared (the latest version of Hamachi.) What this does, in a nutshell, is create a pseudo LAN connection that you use to connect with other players. Take the time to learn how to use Hamachi.

Finally, you need to get a game save with everything on it. I believe the link on this page called "Saves" is where you get that.

After you have everything, you'll need to get into one of the Hamachi servers where BN6 players hang out. The most active one currently is probably "bn6ok2". It's not my server, and I don't remember the password, so I'll have to ask someone. I'll try to post again with that information.

This is what you need to do in order to be prepared to play. I'll post again later to detail how you start a game with somebody.
Maybe it work!
I like Zero from series.

Completely stupid question but why Sigma cannot be a magneto type of antagonist wanting to give robots/reploid a form of justice?

Or I've missed the lore of the series because I've mostly seen gameplay.

He was like this in the first game, until the Sigma Virus thing happened.

Maybe this kind of scenario is a bit too deep for a funny shooty robot platforming game.


I mean I don't really like to have to go through dialogue boxes in a fast paced platforming game.

Me neither. This is one of the reasons I hate MMX games after the second one—they're far too wordy.

Makes me wonder why they never tried the RPG spinoff before the Battle Network series.



In fact MMBN feels almost like it was planned as a different license before becoming a Megaman spinoff.

It's funny how some people complain about the Charge Shots making Special Weapons less useful, when MM1-MM3 are filled with useless pointless weapons.

So true!

Personally while the shot changes the paradigm sometimes I think that less is more and that MM2 is still great even without the slide nor the charge.
