Guide/Menu Translation for Rockman X on GBC Version .1 10/26/00 written by `Xenocide Version History --------------- v.1 Initial release ================= Table of Contents ================= Introduction Story Characters Controls Menus Enemies PowerUps Legal ============ Introduction ============ Rockman is the name of the popular series Mega Man. Rockman X sort of combines the some of the levels from Mega Man X, X2, and X3(i think). Its actually quite an achievement in some ways, and a dissapointment in others. At the moment its in japanese only, so I'm providing a menu translation. Features: -SRAM saves (no passwords to write down!) -colorful backgrounds -not so colorful sprites. -auto rapid fire -auto charging Graphics wise its like SNES backgrounds with NES sprites. Theres a great disparity in them, thanks to the three color plus "clear" sprite pallete. ===== Story ===== The robots of the Mega Man universe have gone amok, and its up to X to stop them. Did you really think it would be any differant? ========== Characters ========== Rock Man X (Mega Man X) Potentially the most powerful robot, according to MMX1 SNES. Dr. Lights greatest creation, which he did not live to see fully tested. Zero Head of the Maverick Hunters. Ally to Rockman X. Some green robot guy Wierd little robot guy which undoubtedly is really evil in disguise. Evidence: he knows how to use a computer. Everyone knows that people who know too much about computers are evil. Vava (Vile) Evil puppet leading the revolution. ======== Controls ======== A - Jump B - Fire weapon. Hold B to charge. Select - Bring up in pause menu Start - Dash or change weapon Up - Climb Up Down - Climb Down Left/Right - Walk left/right. About Dashing Mega Man X introduced a new control mechanic into the series, the Dash. In Rockman X GBC, you start off with the dash feature, but you cant dash jump off walls. To dash, press: 1. Down and A to dash in the direction you're facing. 2. Double tap in the direction you want to dash. 3. Press start to dash in the direction you're facing(in one control setup). After you get the dash powerup, you automotically dash jump off walls. About Rapid Fire Back in the day, the best Mega Man gamers used 3rd party controllers that had rapid fire to shot your bullets faster and to keep your thumb from getting sore. Now you can do this in software with the Auto Fire option. Just hold down B to fire rapidly. About Auto Charge Similar to Rapid fire, this funtion will charge up Automatically for you, to keep your thumbs in good condition. Note that you can enable both functions at once. ===== Menus ===== Opening menu 1. New Game 2. Load Save Menu 3. Options. Options Menu 1.
