Here is the first build of the hack:

http://download944.mediafire.com/s8bdccrii8bg/o4gbe9ona76k6o4/Megaman+Bass.zip
(New Link per DarkSamus993)

It is 95% done. DarkSamus993 is working on improving this hack even further. I do not know how long it will take him, but from from what he has shown me, it looks impressive.

Also, when you leave feedback, let me know what you liked and disliked about the hack. There is always room for improvement.

Anyway, enjoy.

could use the Boss Select Pre-Text patch, for one
I dunno about the other patches, there is one that fixes one-hit kill glitches, but makes all 8 masters selectable from the get-go and changes their AI and then there is MSU-1 patch, and the Plus one that enhances Bass/Forte's sprites and restores Japanese names etc.

Excuse me, but which rom version should I apply the patch to? I downloaded the same game on five different sites and their respective CRC32, MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 verification codes does not match the one indicated in the txt document. As a reference I leave the specs of the site superfamicom.org:

Make sure you are using the USA version and that it is a smc file and not a sfc file.
Also I found the rom by using google. Also another good tool to use is "hashmyfiles". It tells you all the information for the rom you have.

Can you tell me what site you downloaded this rom via PM?

[xstuff]

I'm having the same problems too.

[Zeikar]

What problems? it runs fine just Bass is still Mega Man, I guess cuz it's beta right now? Unless that's a problem..

I thought the glitched megaman was caused because of a bad patched rom. But he says the project is at 95%. From the photos I imagined that the MegaMan's sprites had all been replaced by Bass. Not to mention the inconsistencies of the checksums he mentions in txt doc. Personally, I think he's working with a bad ripped rom, but it's just my opinion.

GoodSNES set doesn't have this ROM info, even the [trained] ones.

[azoreseuropa]

It is about 70% done. However I need some help.
Anyone available?

Nicely done but I hope that you can fix Bass to have his abilities like double jump, diagonal shooting and dash. Can you ?

[DarkSamus993]

Since I happen to have a working copy of this, I went ahead and modified the patch to use the USA No-Intro rom, so that should hopefully solve any patching errors people are having. Get it here.

----------------------------------------

As falchion22 has stated, I've sort of taken over this project and I hope to greatly improve upon it. It started out as simple graphics replacement and has moved onto assembly hacking.

I've already rewritten several loading routines to enable the game to load data from any bank (in this case objects with uncompressed gfx). MM7 has the annoying habit of hard coding data to certain banks, making it hard to move/expand data in an already full rom. Fortunately, rom expansion is a thing, meaning it's just a matter of modifying the code to allow use of it. Expanding animation data will have to happen at some point if I'm going to add Bass's usual abilities.

----------------------------------------

I've also written a utility to make exporting and importing uncompressed sprites much easier. It currently only supports Mega Man and the Super Adapter, but that should change in the future.
                  ROM                        =>                   Export                   =>                  Import



This means Bass can now use his normal sprites, rather than "squished" ones that were used to replace Mega Man's. Of course sprite OAM needs to be completely rewritten (unfortunately my GUI programming is quite limited, so that will be quite tedious without one).

----------------------------------------

Nicely done but I hope that you can fix Bass to have his abilities like double jump, diagonal shooting and dash. Can you ?

No promises, but it is my goal to program his usual abilities in. Examining Bass's code from RM&B should help in that regard.

EDIT:
I should also mention the script is very rough atm, and a good portion of it will need rewritten to fix things like out-of-character lines and such. I've been working on figuring out the control codes (there's 18 of them) and have managed to dump the script with Cartographer.

While falchion22 says the patch is 95% done, that only refers to his version of it. With all the improvements I'm working on/planning, I'd say that brings it down to ~10% done.

[shmoo]

I appreciate all the information and work around this project. I would never dare to make demands of any kind, you can be sure about that. My concern was about its completion using a defective rom (bad rip). Anyway, Thanks to both of you, DarkSamus993 and falchion22.

[DarkSamus993]

My concern was about its completion using a defective rom (bad rip).

You won't have to worry about that with future updates. I'm using the No-Intro ROM for all my work and simply re-importing whatever changes falchion22 made that are going to be kept.

Thank you DarkSamus for uploading the correct patch. That was my fault. Sorry eveeyone.

[shmoo]

I'm playing the game right now and I must say: GREAT WORK! It's the same as shown in the photos at the beginning of this topic. Although it's the same gameplay as MegaMan (of course), the sprites animation of Bass is very fluid and very well done. I have no idea if you intend to implement a gameplay similar to "MegaMan & Bass", like double jump or something. It's enough fun for me. Congratulations to both of you.

[azoreseuropa]

No promises, but it is my goal to program his usual abilities in. Examining Bass's code from RM&B should help in that regard.

Can't wait.
