Honestly, this Metroid Fusion Romhack looks a lot like a Director's Cut than anything else, and that is reflected in the restored content of the Japanese version of the game and some improvements in the gameplay and something else, however, as Boscobilly said, it has bugs that can hinder the experience of this Romhack and it would be good if the author decides to make an update to correct those bugs.

I'll likely add this too before long.

And version Europe

If you want to play a Euro Version Hack, you can try this one. It's pretty cool (and it receives regular updates) : https://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,5807.0.html

 

[RageBurner]

Considering the date of the last update, it may never be done.

 

[Boscobilly]

I don’t recommend playing this one until it’s done. There’s a ton of bad bugs.

And version Europe

This particular hack targets the U.S version. You might be thinking of another.

Were bomb timings not adjusted?

 

[FSH Iguchi]

Yeah, Fusion it's a game with many scripted events, maybe we have to wait more updates to fix those permastucks.

The problem is there is no new updates since about a year.

 

[SrCapibara]

Great idea to put this one here ! Please note that is a work in progress hack et that you could experience permastucks. I recommend regular save states so that you can resume before certain section changes that could lead to be blocked (even if this happens very occasionally).

I'm also getting the security warning - says the security certificate expired in the last day? I can still proceed to download the file but the warning comes up beforehand.

I'm getting the error too in Firefox. It looks like your site's certificate expired on 8/26:

Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for dl8.retrogametalk.com expired on 8/25/2025. Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

It's possible that the problem is on my end then... the warning specifically says that the site itself isn't set up correctly? I'll check a couple other downloads real quick to see whether it's just my browser acting up.

EDIT: Yup, I'm getting the same issue and warning with the Tactics Ogre: One Vision mod - I think the issue must be on my end. Apologies for the false alarm! Friggin' browser updates...

Could you try a different browser and see? even if you don't intend to keep it (I think it's a good idea to use two different browsers though, assuming both are up to date and have good extension support).

 

[RustySK]

Very odd. I patched both games in sequence and used the same base ROM as the standard patch. I can try and redo the process to see if the warning goes away.

Thanks as always for the upload!
I'm getting a security warning when I try to download the Hard Mode version - the standard one seems to be fine though.

I figured it would make a nice contrast to X-Fusion as both aspire towards the same goals, broadly, so it is easier to enjoy and compare both, this way. Thanks for noting potential softlocks.
