I teased this one after releasing Dr. Mario DX. Work on this has officially started today.
The game will become GBC exclusive, sorry, since I need the double speed mode. However, this means slowdowns will be gone.
Do not expect it before 2022.

I've spent the entire week rewriting the game's weapon menu. Wanted to make it look like its NES counterparts. There was little room for coding in its ROM bank, it's been hell but it ended up looking good.

Oh my God. Its finally happening. I cannot thank you enough for starting work on this project! :o
-
May I just suggest you use deep, saturated and contrast-y colors? Lots of GB colorizations tend to use more pale or muted colors which looks really bad on a GBC screen. That's why nearly every GBC game was so saturated and high in contrast. You can always see roughly how it looks on a GBC in BGB with the GBC LCD colors mode. If you'd rather focus on making it look good on backlit screens and emulators, that's okay of course, since it's your project. :)
Otherwise, I'm extremely hyped to have a colorized version of one of my favorite classic Mega Man titles. It being GBC exclusive is no problem since the original still exists.
-
Okay, this is incredibly awesome! Also, I have a little bit of some suggestions for the DX project...
1. Change the HUD / Fonts (letters and numbers) with the one from the NES Mega Man games.
2. Give the Title Screen a new look.
You're welcome to borrow some content from this colorized screenshot I did a while ago for the GBC project that you're working on. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll let everyone else give you some suggestions for the project and be on my way. Good luck and great job again for working on Dr. Mario DX! :thumbsup:

Im really interested on this one ;D
-
Sick! I'll be watching this thread like a hawk.
-
Oh, man, so looking forward to this. I'll keep a watch at this, indeed.
-
This is a really interesting project, I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
-
This is one of my favourite MM games on GB, because it has original bosses. I'll keep an eye on how this turns out.
Mega Man Mania will live somehow!
-
If I can find a way to be helpful, I would love to help. :)

marc_max: This is my favorite MM GB game, I'll be keeping an eye out for this thread to see more progress. This'll be awesome to play when it's done, thanks for working on this game. :beer: :thumbsup: :D

I'm aware of this.
Editing the palettes will be easy, though I might implement a palette selector in-game since there's enough room to store all palettes twice. It's not a priority right now, though.
If I can find a way to be helpful, I would love to help. :)
I'll need a lot of help in the art part, as we've only got seven 4 color palettes available for backgrounds and I'm not very good at choosing colors haha
Also, we will probably need to repaint the stardroids sprites, so they look NES alike, without shading. Anyone can post their edits here (3 colors per stardroid body), and I'll see what can I do with them.
Is there any official artwork from the game's levels out there? Mega Man Mania doesn't count, the only few screenshots showed some questionable decisions.

I found this sprite sheet of the Stardroids in NES style colors on deviantART by a user named mike1967-now:

Maybe this will help you on what colors to give them.
I also found this on there by another user named Bongwater-bandit:

This could be useful when you start working on their portraits.

Damn, Marc, you work wonders with the GB colorization.
You and toruzz are such beasts at hacking :D

The recent update to Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch features colorized Mega Man V graphics.
Oh, and get rid of the black outline separating Mega Man's face from his helmet. The addition of color makes it unnecessary now.
-
Not to throw more work on what is obviously a huge undertaking, but are there any plans for a Roll-Chan World V version as well? I just didn't see anyone mentioning it, so I thought I may as well ask.
-
Thanks for taking on this project! Looking forward to it!
-
I found a whole bunch of concept videos made around the release of Mega Man 8bit Deathmatch V6 (which introduced Mega Man V elements) that shows off a lot of the game as it could be in color. Hope they can be used for new ideas and inspiration!

I just improved the title a bit, so that it now looks a bit more like the NES titles, specifically use the megaman 10 title for reference.

Any chance you can document some of this in english? I found your twitch (which is awesome btw) but hard to follow due to language barrier.
I really want to get into doing this and just have no clue where to start.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way if you are not into low level coding. All I can say everything you need is here (https://gbdev.io/pandocs/).
I can answer english questions as well during livestreams, though you will probably laugh at my accent haha

Hey I'm really excited for this. Megaman V for GameBoy is one of my favorite DMG games.
I have nothing against going with a modified titlescreen based on the Japanese release, but I hope you might consider making a variant that uses the original North American titlescreen for people like me who have a great deal of love for the North American version.

This looks great, and I'm glad to know slowdowns will be gone, they're this game's main flaw.
What did you have to do to make MM's face use a different palette? I doubt it's as simple as on NES?
At 0:42 in the teaser video, can you make the bubble enemies the same colour as the background ones?

Yes. That video is old, all enemies have been given their own palette now:

For Rockman's face I did exactly the same as NES: add a new sprite to every frame for his metasprite, which was hell without having the original sourcecode. Had to crack the whole metasprite engine. It looks good, unfortunately, it adds some flickering. It's a very slow process, it will take time to add the faces to all stardroids.

Looking great! I get more and more excited for this every day. :beer:

The color palettes look perfect so far. True to the era with lots of deep and saturated tones.
Some colorizations do their own thing, which is fine, but this feels authentic.

When @marc_max finishes this, I'd like to work on it personally.

This hack is looking very exciting. I hope with the heavy lifting done, this can be applied to the other four Megaman games for DMG GameBoy too, and Zynk's Roll-chan hacks too. That would be so so cool. These five games don't get the respect they deserve.

The fifth one definitely deserves some more love, and I'm very happy to see it's finally getting the treatment it needs to become a fully fledged member of the classic series. The other 4 games though? Not sure they really deserve the same time and attention, as most of the original content can be found reused in Mega Man V, apart from a few good music tracks.
-
The other four Megaman GB games do largely recycle content from the NES mainline series, but they aren't ports. They're newly made games with original stages and in the case of Megaman IV, new mechanics not found in the NES games.
I agree Megaman V is the best of the bunch, but Megaman III and IV on Gameboy are two of the best games on the original GameBoy by a good margin.

You have my interest. I shall watch this thread closely.

This project is looking very good, congratulations!

By following this line of thought, someone should really make an improvement patch for that Megaman game on Game Gear.

The Megaman GameGear game needs a music overhaul and maybe someone can modify the code to allow three Megabuster shots at once like every other Megaman game. Writing good sounding music for the SN76489 PSG soundchip is a challenge but I'm sure someone out there has the skill.

Yeah, why not.
-
Maybe fix GG Megaman's graphics, Green Starman and Megaman's slightly off-centered helmet are a big no-no.
-
haha I had forgotten about Green Starman!
But anyway lets keep this on Megaman V.
Any chance the game could be modified to take advantage of the GBC's enhanced speed? The original can be kinda prone to slowdown.

There is a new teaser video coming out tomorrow!
I was just going to upload it and post it here, but then I saw a cool YouTube feature that allows you to schedule the premiere, so I feel like using it :-D

That was probably the very first thing I did before starting the hack ;-)

Not like the original game's slowdown did affect the experience. Doesn't matter if it has or not.

The slowdown wasn't severe enough, but if we can eliminate all the slowdown it would be great.
One more thing: can you touch up Electric Shock? Jupiter's Electric Shock looks truly electrifying, and then there's Mega Man's, which is... Noodles.

The slowdown is atrocious. More like Mega Man 5 frames per second.
Looking forward to this, can't wait. Nice coloring too.
-
There's no need for hyperbole. The slowdown is unfortunate, but not game-breaking. All fave of the Mega Man games for GameBoy are quite playable compared to many other efforts to bring NES-like experiences to the handheld.

I agree, all 5 gameboy games run almost (if not just as well) as the NES saga. V in particular runs great!

I'd say it runs pretty good, not great.

Wow! This is a great hack! Looking forward to it! :thumbsup:

While the slowness isn't game-breaking, we must really admit the extra speed will be a quality-of-life change.
