Huh, I didn't even know there was a variant in the repo, I looked but totally missed it, the search functionality here while slightly improved is still difficult to navigate, but you are correct this hack is the same but does not have the multiple equipment patch.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Anyway, it's interesting for people who don't want so many modifications.

And, as always, I'm grateful for every Mega Man hack that appears here on the Repo.

PS.:

That being said, if possible, someday when it's convenient, adding the aforementioned "Addendum" to one (or both) of these hacks would be more than welcome. :)

Just one question, to be sure: this most recently uploaded hack version differs from the previous one on Repo ["Rockman & Forte (Player Switching + Multiple Equipment) (Hack) SNES ROM"] only in that it doesn't allow "Multiple Equipment," right?

Edit: I mean this one:

im down with switching megaman and bass. as make have the cds more easy to get now. it was desgin that way you have to two play throughs to get them all.

 

[Janunba88]

Very good! now I just hope that each year we get very closer to have playable Bass/Forte in Mega Man 8.

i saw a weapon switching wheel on a video showing how much each had & it paused during? it that native or another mod?

 

[RageBurner]

Awesomesauce!

It's how the game should have shipped, honestly, because Bass runs circles around Mega Man usability wise in the vanilla game, and I never found any reason to use the blue guy, but at least with this you get to enjoy the few pluses he brings without having to give up Bass' many advantages.

Even with the "remove header" step? Weird, it should work.

I didn't test the remove header option, maybe when I get time I can try again.

Thanks, @Juiceala !
Would it be possible to add the addendum which translates the title screen as well as fixes some issues with the translation?

This link has it, and the review has instructions to apply the patch: https://www.romhacking.net/reviews/12569/#review .

Thanks in advance!

I tried actually but for some reason it kept giving me black screen, idk what the issue is.

Who said I can't? Not only have I beaten it multiple times, on GBA even, but it's one of my favourite games in the series, top five even.

It was a joke. I wasn't talking to you specifically.

 

[Juiceala]

Never understood why people thought this game was hard. Maybe the GBA version played differently? I played the SFC version back in 1999 or something before we had a translation on the ZSNES emulator. I find Rockman 9 & 10 to be waaaay harder.

I completely agree, I didn't find it difficult at all, however I did play the GBA version first, in fact it was my first Mega Man, nowadays though similar to the Mario Advance games I no longer bother with the GBA version due to the screen crunch but I did beat it on real hardware.

If you can't handle Mega Man & Bass at its worst, you don't deserve it at its best. /j

A pretty good Quality of Life of being able to Alternate Rockman/Mega Man and Forte/Bass at all times and it helps something to curious more about the game especially in finding alternate routes in the stages and also the ease of getting the CDs.

 

[RetroZero]

Incredible! This might make the game a little less brutal, but just a little, lol.

 

[CHEESE ENJOYER]

This version of the game (SNES) with this hack is definitely the best way to play this game. The GBA version's viewing area is smaller which is really bad given how difficult some of the platforming is in this game.

 

[Joreo3o]

Buenisimo.

Awesome! Thx !
