Mega Man: The Wily Wars - Wily Tower Always Available PATCH NOT WORKING

[Phileholic]

The patch for Mega Man: The Wily Wars that makes Wily's Tower available from the start, does not seem to be working when I attach it to the game file.

I attached it to the game by following these steps here, but it still doesn't seem to work.

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

That is difficult to say without knowing exactly what you are doing.

it still doesn't seem to work.

This is not very descriptive. Are you getting an error message, or what?

Sorry, what I meant to say was: with the patch being in the same folder as the game file under the same name, the Wily Tower should be available as an option from the start. But even with that, it doesn't appear at all.

Assuming you're applying the patch correctly and it still isn't working, here are two other options.

There is a single Game Genie code that gives you access to the Wily Tower game.  The code says it works on new or saved games.  You can get the code here (it's called "Can Always Access Wily Tower Game" by Ugetab): https://gamehacking.org/game/15460

I vaguely remember using that code years ago, and I seem to remember that it worked fine.

If for some reason you can't use a Game Genie code, you can always patch the Game Genie code into your ROM with programs like Patchinator or Game Genie Guy (both are available here on RHDN).  Either of those programs will automatically patch the Game Genie code into your ROM, so that it will always be active.

EDIT: If you use one of those patching programs and you get a blank screen after you patch it and the game won't run, it means you need to use one of the master codes from that link I posted for the code.  Not sure about Game Genie Guy, but I know Patchinator will try and fix it so that you don't need to enter a master code, but it won't work on every game.
