zip file containing the patch is attached to the post. illuminor (me) for putting this together, which took much more time and effort than it may seem, even though I had a lot of helpĪ. Solid One for his great help and support, and also tools he wrote for modifying this gameĭiegoHH for useful tools he developed and impressive ASM hacking that has made this whole project possible

HxD and Translhextion for some hex editing Solid One's Mega Man ZX text dumper/inserter tool for dealing with game text scriptsĭiegoHH's tool for unpacking and repacking subtitle files from ZX/ZXAĬrystal Tile 2 for uncompressing and recompressing the arm9.bin Technically, this is fixable by completely rewriting all the game's text to fit the original number of blocks, but no volunteers so far. The voice for such two split blocks plays during the first of them, so if you wanna hear everything, don't scroll the dialogues too fast. It just means that some blocks of text which fit into one box in Japanese, now have to be split in two due to a longer text (Japanese text is much more compact than English).

We know for sure it won't work on old R4 flashcarts from 2008, and unfortunately this is impossible to fix.Īlso, not a problem or a bug, but you should be aware: due to English game script being much longer than the Japanese one, not all dialogue boxes ended up having an associated voice clip. The undub was tested and confirmed fully working on DeSmuME and Acekard 2i flashcart

I know some of you guys won't be very happy to see "Rockman" and "Irregulars" instead of "Mega Man" and "Mavericks", but my goal was to make a full undub including such changes. All in-game terminology is restored to original Magnificent ASM hack from DiegoHH: a subtitle feature originally present only in the European version was added to the game's FMV cutscenes No crashes, game should be playable in every aspect Every piece of voice acting is present Technically not an undub: instead of transferring Japanese audio into American ROM, we transferred English text, graphics and some more features to the Japanese ROM Despite all difficulties, this was a pleasant and new experience for me (I've never done anything related to game hacking/modification before). The road wasn't perfect: a lot of new features and fixes were implemented during this process, we helped each other a lot and did a lot of testing. Next, over the course of 20, we were working simultaneously: Solid One worked on his pt-BR translation, and I was modifying the game's text and graphics to produce a full undub using his tool and DiegoHH's hacking solutions. Of course, I immediately contacted Solid One, and he agreed to help me on my quest of making a full undub of the game. What's even cooler, they found a way around all the problems and crashes, and their hacked ROM allowed for bigger size of text files! To my surprise, the guys behind it ( Solid One and DiegoHH) have done a magnificent job hacking the game and producing a text-editing tool. I was looking for a way to fix it and finally play Rockman ZX the right way for a long time, and finally, about a year and a half ago, I stumbled across a project of pt-BR translation of this game. And that's why I don't consider the Magic Fish mix a good way to play the game. This was taking away a huge chunk of the game by making it impossible to understand, and was very disappointing. To stop the crashing, all the text files that caused it were restored to their Japanese versions, which resulted in gibberish in all texts aside from main story. This was mainly due to the bigger size of the English text files, which the Japanese ROM didn't allow for. While that worked to some degree (you could at least successfully play the story with voice acting), the game crashed under a lot of circumstances like talking to NPCs or checking the database. Unfortunately, that modification of ZX has a flaw: it was essentially just a file swap which put some English text and graphics from the American version into the Japanese one. Until today, we had only one option to play the game while enjoying the removed voice acting: the Magic Fish mix (man, that thread is 10 years old). Everyone knows Mega Man ZX had all the awesome voice acting removed from it during localization.
