Once any localization bugs are dealt with, I'd like to try and add a few fixes and tweaks to the game before release. I didn't realize until recently that Tia didn't have an Energy Balancer...<br /><br />On another note, I see someone added the codes I posted to TV Tropes. Viper, would I be correct in assuming that was your handiwork?TDOMMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699910152220873795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-10186260324141536322016-02-23T16:06:32.133-05:002016-02-23T16:06:32.133-05:00Just an off topic, general RKS question, but...
Tw...Just an off topic, general RKS question, but...<br />Twice now I've had it happen where I pick up a large weapon energy pellet while it was flashing (disappearing) and that caused the game to freeze.<br />Is that a known bug?<br />Was it a bug fix in a version later than 1.05c (what I have)?<br />And so you know I have modded some of the game's graphics but I don't *think* that should be related to the problem.<br /><br />♥Cure Lovelyhttp://biancagames.com/LWF.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-60711467934255759162016-02-20T18:56:52.782-05:002016-02-20T18:56:52.782-05:00Congrats to Justin3009!Congrats to Justin3009!Justin De Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07314461141921880109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-67963733832024555132016-02-20T01:42:12.063-05:002016-02-20T01:42:12.063-05:00Success!

I asked a fellow hacker at Romhacking.net to dive into the games' assembly code, and he succeeded in isolating the button combination for the Shoryuken! I have to admit, I never would have guessed this one:<br /><br />Enter the password above, move your cursor to the last row, then press (and hold!) Down and Left so that your cursor is now on the "Start" option. Hold B and R while continuing to hold Down and Left, then press Y to confirm the code. Shoryuken!<br /><br />Honestly, I had no idea that the Y button doubled as a code confirmation button when Start was highlighted since I always used the Start button myself, so my apologies for eliminating the correct answer from among the possibilities. I should note that holding Down, Left, B, Y, R, and Start does <i>not</i> work; exactly five buttons must be held down, not six, for the code to take effect. Another thing that distinguishes <i>X2</i> from the original <i>X</i>...<br /><br />By the way: the credit goes to Justin3009 for solving this 22-year-old mystery.<br /><br />Viper: at least you knew ahead of time that it was a dumb question; if the code took and you had the Shoryuken already, you naturally wouldn't be able to find the Shoryuken capsule again.<br /><br />Before anyone wracks their brains over the Hyper Chip part of the "Hyper Dragon Chip Challenge", I have some unfortunate news. Because of how the game is coded, <i>Megaman X3</i> automatically resets all four chip values to zero if all four are enabled in the password; there is no code to load the Hyper Chip from a password (only the code to save it to one...). Oh, well...<br /><br />The Hyper Chip capsule is enroute to the boss of Doppler Stage 1, and you can load up to three enhancement chips from a password anyway. Personally, I've always liked using the Energy, Arm, and Leg Chip combination since the red forcefield generated by the Body Chip clashes with the Max Armor's blue look. Oh, and yes: the official name of <i>X3's</i> armor is the Max Armor. The <i>X</i> and <i>X2</i> armors do not have official names; the "Light" and "Giga" names were made up by the same crew who arbitrarily decided that Dr. Thomas Light's middle name was "Xavier". Wily's middle initial is "W" according to <i>Megaman & Bass</i>, but no official materials have ever stated that "X" was Light's middle initial (or that Sagesse was actually Wily, or that Isaac was actually Wily, or that Zero was actually Protoman... you get the idea).<br /><br />...Alright, I'm rambling. I'll shut up and get some sleep.

So far I've tried a few button combinations on RetroArch's SNES9x and not getting any results, and then I went to see if Dr. Light's capsule is still in the usual area and I was able to find in there.ViperAcidZXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847866845233140922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-18365815450908531852016-02-19T00:17:27.218-05:002016-02-19T00:17:27.218-05:00Okay, did some brief testing, and holding literall...Okay, did some brief testing, and holding literally every button does work in X1 and 7 (well, in 7 you can't touch A or X). It does _not_ in X2 or X3, which either means there isn't a button combination, or that they totally retooled how it would recognize it.<br /><br />Lending credence to the second theory is that in X2 and X3, pressing all four directions on the same frame doesn't move the cursor, but in X and 7 it goes up-left or up, respectively.<br /><br />Lending credence to the former is that _no one has ever found a way to do this_.Exunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813788266527501599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-2232426433972845422016-02-18T23:28:21.165-05:002016-02-18T23:28:21.165-05:00I remember holding Down, L, R, X, A, and Select to...I remember holding Down, L, R, X, A, and Select to get the Hadouken code to work on at least one occasion, so I think it's safe to assume that having more than the required number of buttons held would work. For some strange reason, SNES9x keeps auto-remapping my controls, preventing me from doing the job myself (either than, or my Dual Shock 2 may be beginning to die... I have Save State and Load State set to R2 and L2 while I'm debugging, but it keeps remapping them to Square and Triangle).<br /><br />There's also the possibility that it could be a short code (like the ones in <i>RKS</i>) instead of a simple button combination, exponentially increasing the complexity and decreasing the odds of finding it by brute force and pure luck...<br /><br />As for Light's capsule, I've confirmed that there's a specific variable that keeps track of how many times you ascend the cliff at the end of Armored Armadillo's stage (<i>not</i> how many times you collect the Life Energy capsule on it). When the counter reaches 4, the Dr. Light capsule spawns as you're launched into the air by the final mine cart ramp (and the counter caps at 5 the last time you climb the cliff). I remember reading about it in an issue of Nintendo Power at around the same time that a friend in my karate class confirmed that the trick worked (how appropriate: learning about a guy in a gi from a guy in a gi...).TDOMMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699910152220873795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-65964238363146355742016-02-18T13:30:27.355-05:002016-02-18T13:30:27.355-05:00Does the MMX password work if you're holding m...Does the MMX password work if you're holding more than Down/L/R/X? Like, is Left/Down/L/R/X/A viable?<br /><br />The most efficient way to find the combination seems like it would be to hold _every_ button, then remove them one at a time until it stops working. Don't really have the time to test that now, though, maybe late tonight.<br /><br />Still, neat. I remember seeing something known about a Hado password, but it seemed kinda unreliable. It was amazing how long people had no idea how to trigger the capsule spawn at all, really.Exunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813788266527501599noreply@blogger.com
