Mega Man X SA1

Hack of Mega Man X

Description:

SA-1 is a co-processor present in some SNES games. Being roughly four times faster than the main CPU it can significantly improve a game’s performance and that is the purpose of this hack, to remove slowdowns present in the original Mega Man X.

Other changes include:

  • Leg Dash defaulted to the L button.
  • Generated passwords are saved into SRAM
  • Control scheme saved into SRAM.
  • Subtanks stop depleting at full health.
  • Disabled double-tap to dash.(optional)

ONLY APPLY ONE PATCH:

  • mmxsa1.ips
  • mmxsa1_double_tap_disabled.ips

Besides zsnes, it should run on all emulators.

Oh MY!!!!

Reviewed By: jmd6488 on 18 Aug 2020

Mega Man X (the first game, not the series) always annoyed me for some reason. I just got done playing it for the last 30 minutes and had a blast. Now I finally realize it was the erratic frame-rate all these years that made my eyes bleed. Thank you, Bosn! This was a miracle.
