Description:
This is a hack of Mega Man X that relocalizes the text restoring original Japanese meanings from Rockman X as close as possible with some flavor added in and a few of the US elements left intact. This relocalization has primarily taken elements from NectarHime’s retranslation script with elements of Hondoori Game Center’s and Her-Saki’s translations of Rockman X mixed in as well.
This patch comes in three variations, the “Maverick version”, the “Irregular version” and the “Rockman version”. The “Maverick version” keeps names and terminology consistent with the original localization while the “Irregular version” restores Japanese terminology and names, specifically “Irregular”, “Repliroid”, “VAVA”, etc.
As this is a relocalization there are some parts of this that aren’t entirely accurate to the Japanese version especially in cases where there wasn’t enough room with the text to keep it in a very satisfying manner.

Begone All Clunky Dialogue
Reviewed By: SuxMenner on 30 Jun 2022Never found any issues or errors using any of my emulators, still the best way to experience this and the other SNES Mega Man X games.
While X1’s western translation is definitely the most accurate compared to X2 and X3 it still leaves something to be desired, so this patch simply makes the story flow and just be better portrayed in general, very recommended.
(Doesn’t seem to be compatible with the SA-1 patch if you were wondering.)
