Insane Difficulty: Bug Reports: Megaman X - Hard Type v.2.2.2 - Insane Difficulty

Post any bugs found here.

Known issues:

None. Please post them here!

There is no Dash.

No Dash is not a bug. In Megaman X1 you need to actually acquire dash from a capsule.

At some point there was a blue rocket launcher thing standing in mid-air.

The blue rocket Launcher enemy, on purpose It's difficult to dodge his attacks due to his position.

It's a bug. I want my dash.

Highway Stage. Helicopter fights. You can survive the pit falls. Off-screen ground instead of pit allows you to walk around and climb back out near the large and small energy capsules, but only if you've first defeated the helicopters. If you fall during the helicopter fight the screen won't scroll so you're stuck in a pit with no way out.

EDIT BY MOD: Fixed in current version.

Thanks for pointing this one out, I actually experienced this as well when testing but totally forgot to mention it.

That's very interesting, it will only occur in the current version, due to the vertical scrolling added. I'll experiment with the values to remove that off-screen platform. Thanks for the feedback!

Edit: Fixed for the next version.

Hi, Hart. Playing v 1.51, Highway Stage.

Where you first encounter the red car driving enemies there are some glitchy looking blocks in the way. This prevents X from riding the car to jump the gap.

Pretty sure I patched things correctly, as the game ran fine until this point.

Thank you for the bug report Running Moon.

Let me isolate that bug and see what makes it. The only time I experienced that one, I tested it again with another ROM and the bug didn't happen anymore.

Do you remember / know what emulator you were using, btw? And from which site you got the ROM?

Also, if you want a password for after the Intro Stage, let me know. You were at the end of it, anyway.

Zsnes 1.51

Rom probably downloaded from Rom Hustler, otherwise Rom Nation.

I'll try it with Snes9x in awhile and let you know how that goes.

Released 0.5.1b, same version but with only the patch for Unheadered ROMs. Included an utility tool in the .zip for removing headers. Remove the header of your vanilla ROM, apply the patch, and the bug will be solved.

Thanks again for the bug report, have fun with the rest of the game!

Hmm... I did this but unfortunately still the same issue in Zsnes 1.51.

Snes9x works fine. Tried both unheadered 0.5.1b and the headered 0.5.0 I complained about and everything's good now. So maybe my ROM is a bad egg or Zsnes is or both.

For now, I'll say it's Zsnes that's causing a problem. I'll keep an eye on this particular bug, and hopefully isolate it better through testing. Thanks for the feedback!

In the beginning of Storm Eagle stage, at the very first set of blocks that can be destroyed by Fire Wave. There is a large energy capsule hidden behind this.

I don't have to use Fire Wave, I can simply drop down from above to get behind the last flammable block in the row to nab the energy.

Intended?

Also, is infinite lives gonna be part of the final version? If so, the extra life hidden near the 3rd set of flammables is redundant. Extra weapon energy might be nice instead.

Enjoying the hack so far, keep on trucking!

Added a little platform for the inflamable set of blocks. They can be destroyed by the regular buster (same as in vanilla), btw. In the next version, they will take far less shots to get destroyed. The "intended" way is to go through that set of blocks, destroy them, then climb up from there. Same with the rest of those blocks throughout the level.

Infinite lives is gonna be part of the version. For the 1-ups spread throughout the stages (as well as those dropped by enemies), within my scope of changes is changing what the 1-Up does. It will make the same as grabbing both a large energy capsule, and a large ammo capsule.

I'm finishing the details of a lot of ASM changes going on for the next version as we speak ^^ You'll quite enjoy next version, as the changes on the enemies' HP and the bosses weaknesses really alter the dynamics of the levels for the better. Not to mention that Storm Eagle will have its Arena changed (slightly, there's only so much blocks I can edit, as it is all hardcoded within an event).

Thanks for the bug report!

Just got around to fix that little glitch where the platforms wouldn't appear right before the ship in Storm Eagle's.

So, SlurpeeNinja, a streamer, found a pretty severe "bug" in Kuwanger's stage. On the bridge above the heart tank, you can actually climb up to the boss hallway, die, and then spawn in the boss hallway.

^ Yup, that definitely happened...not sure if it was just a one time thing or not though.
for your convenience i've made a highlight of what I did

Hah. That's one of those "I've never thought of doing that" moments.

Thanks for the bug report! I think what I'll do is make that wall unclimbable and, that should fix the issue. Also, I'll work around the background so it isn't that ugly black.

Edit: Yep, I've just fixed it. Thanks again.
