Mega Man X: Project Zero is a complete hack of Mega Man X that reworks much of the game’s graphics, gameplay, music, levels, and cutscenes to fully integrate Zero as the main character.
Gameplay notes:
Zero has a new set of physics as well as damage and ammunition values. He jumps somewhat higher than X and has shots that reach slightly higher. His level 4 buster can now penetrate shielded enemies such as Hoganmers and Mets. To compensate for having half as much weapon energy, his attacks deal slightly more damage across the board.
Roughly half of the stages were changed significantly. Slightly tougher enemy mobs are applied in several stages, as well as longer gaps to jump over. New energy pickups are granted to compensate for Zero’s ammunition costs. Some bosses have new attacks and Doppelgängers. Flame Mammoth’s stage no longer changes and Spark Mandrill’s sub-boss is more formidable.
The player can exit from every Maverick stage without finishing the level first. They can also exit from the fortress stages at any time.
.................................
Music notes:
Central Highway’s music is replaced by Zero’s theme.
Sigma’s 4th fortress level plays Variable X.
.................................
Graphical notes:
The canon Zero sprites of the time are applied.
The UI is reworked. There is now a Zero-branded title screen, stage select icon, get weapon portrait, buster weapon, and extra life icon. There is also a Zero series-style pause screen icon.
Cutscene graphics are heavily reworked. For example, Dr. Wily replaces Dr. Light in the capsules, a shadowed Zero stands on the cliffside in the ending, and Mega Man X appears in the cast roll.
.................................
Cutscene notes:
The intro is replaced and given a red font colour.
Events are reworked overall to fit Zero as the main character. Zero has more dialogue than X did in the original game, and there is a new epilogue.
The Homing Torpedo typo from the original game is fixed.

1:20:11 Bro really said "WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOR?"
Compliments to the guy responsible for getting zero’s sprite proportions right in this hack update.
Next update zero needs to calm down his running. He’s really aggressive with his arms & legs swinging so fast
I'll bet they probably used the X3 sprite and modified that. Still the best Zero has looked in X1 hacks imo
how did u run it bro? not running in znes
Did you fallow the patching directions? Maybe you need the right version of Mega Man X@@igorcanedogaita
@@igorcanedogaita zsnes is trash. bsnes or snes9x are updated in recent times
I disagree I like it, it suits Zero's intense personality
You know this is actually how the game was originally intended to be. Zero was actually the initial design to be Megaman X, but the team decided to change the design to look more like the original Megaman so that it could look more familiar to fans of the original games, but thought that it would be a waste to not include the original design because it looked so cool, so they made him his own character!
原來 zero 才是真主角⋯2-30year 的秘幸到 快40age才知道………
I know. I'm so glad they included him.
Well, more or less at least... The final X design didn't exist back then, so he wouldn't really be in the game at all regardless of how, if they went with the original idea. I guess you could count this as more like a what if scenario than anything.
Yeah we know
Wow that is interesting, of course now I got so used to zero being badass that I would always prefer to play as him, but I wonder if my reaction would be the same if X was the one saving zero in the begining and zero was the mc
This seriously makes me want to play X all over again. His sprite work is perfect to his original x1 design, not just a swap from X2 or X3.
Took close to 30 yrs for this mod to happen but better late than never.
When X arrives, the song that should play is Central Highway
Missed opportunity from the mod's creator to squeeze in the word "Bassnium" at the intro.
I think Bass Buster Mark 3 would also be good to have, as a counterpart to Mega Buster Mark 17, due to Bass first having a charging Buster like Mega Man, then a rapid-fire one afterward. If you wanna count the first Super Adaptor upgrade from Mega Man 7, and the second from Mega Man 8, you could then say Bass Buster Mark 5.
@@bluestreakedladyshe-her8507Mega buster Mark 17?
The specs of X Buster is Mega Buster MK17@@Neon-957
I thought that Zero was powered by a refined version of Bassnium called Zeronium?
@@landonschlemmer2424 All we know is that Wily himself stated in "Power Fighters" that he'll use Bassnium to create a robot stronger than Bass, and then he shows the silhouette of Zero.
Its pretty cool to see these little changes, but more importantly getting the sprite artworks just right. The story changes were cool with vile at the last cutscene.
Even in a ROM hack, Zero doesn't know what he's fighting forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrahhhh.
About time a Zero romhack for X1 shows much more detail on Zero's sprites.
Impressionado como absolutamente TODAS as musicas desse jogo são incríveis e memoráveis demais! Oh saudades ♥
Sim, pra mim são as melhores OST do Mega Man: 2, 3, 4 e X.
Nostálgico
I've always liked to imagine that RT-55J's two nipple-like lights are eyes, and the white belt around its waist is an exposed row of upper teeth.
Wow this is amazing. Playable MMX style Zero. Most of these mods use the X3 sprites. These custom made ones look so seamless. I cant wait to play.
it says "roughly half the stages were changed significantly" but watching thru this other than some enemies seeming tougher there seem to be no "significant" changes to the stages...
Dr Wily being inside the light capsules is the most funniest but accurate thing to ever see
Missed opportunity to call Zero Buster Mark01 as (Proto Buster Mark09)
Zero’s level 2 charge shot broke an arm off of Vile’s Goliath armor, it should have its damage increased. Would have loved to have seen more unique offense or even the X3 projectile system instead of using X’s entire combat system.
i like how bosses may have a secondary weakness, like using the Boomerang Cutter on the octopus and elephant, breaks parts off making them less dangerous.
as i recall one of the powers actually removed the armadillos armor. making it much easier.
53:51 if you have the chameleon ultimate, you can use the wall on the right as a small short cut. with proper jump control.
it makes you immune to almost everything.
this is the spark mandrill power to remove the armor but completely agree with you, so nostalgic
Yeah, spark mandrill's electric spark is what knocks the armor off armadillo but it's also his primary weakness. It makes it so he can be hit when bouncing off the walls spun up in a ball stops him from deflecting shots when not firing himself (100x easier). I mix my play orders up all the time and part of it is so I can use the boomerang cutter on Flame Mammoth to chop his nose off (can't use it to roar and change the conveyor belt direction or spit his oil attack) and Launch Octopus's arms so he can't do that annoying vortex tunnel he's invincible during that pulls you in. Also can get arm upgrade sooner and use it on shotgun ice to ride to a spot you can jump up to the heart before getting the boomerang to avoid playing it twice. I love the 3 SNES X games and this is so refreshing to see new content on a game I've beaten easily over 100 times. Not as cool, but in X2 if you defeat wire sponge using his weakness their shadow slowly slices in half like an old samurai anime
I’m truly amazed with this hack to thr point you think it’s an original crapcom release. Cool to see Dr. Wily being in the series
Can it be possible for the next update to switch between X and Zero ?
Really impressive. I remember growing up this would have BLOWN MY MIND haha...in 1994 this was unheard of to have a game's assets mixed. But we have such good technology now 30 years later that anything is possible. It's too bad the bad that came with the good really didn't make it worth it, in all honesty. Remember how much better things were when we were growing up? We had it REALLY good, and even the early internet wasn't bad in 95/96 with AOL 2.6 and onwards...we got to see everything come about which made it more special than kids that this is all they know. I would feel sorry for them but so many of them are self entitled twats, that there's no point they've brought this on themselves. There is a small portion of Gen-Z that seem okay, but most of them are emotionally and mentally stunted children even if they're in they're mid-20's or late 20's.
Ese era la idea original de Keiji Inafune, pues diseñó a Zero para que sea el protagonista, pero al ver que los fans de Megaman no se iban a sentir familiarizados con el personaje decidió crear a X y para no descartar a Zero, lo hizo un personajr secundario y el compañero de X, a partir de entonces Inafune le tomó mucho cariño a Zero, tanto que no permitia a Capcom rediseñarlo, y siempre estaba al pendiente de ello
1:15:30 WHY ARE THERE TWO VANGUARDS??!??!??! I used to struggle with Vanguard when I first played the game.
the Z saber instead of the hadouken would have been cool
I'm really glad the Z saber wasn't in by default, but as an extra/late-game/non-canon power-up (like the hadouken) I agree it would be neat.
@@Hausbrauen What the heck are you talking about? Zero without his Z-Saber is just a sprite swapped X. There's virtually no difference in abilities or gameplay.
@@Animebryan2 You're confused because you don't know the story, nor did you read what this mod does. Zero shouldn't have the Z saber yet, until Dr. Cain rebuilds him after collecting the parts from the X/Irregular Hunters. So despite you not knowing and/or caring, some of us actually appreciate that. Also I played through this and as the notes correctly state, this mod definitely changes the gameplay and felt easier to me thanks to the tweaks to Zero, in addition to various other stage/boss changes.
@@rowenpugner3872cringe. Mega Man lore is made up as it goes.
... Wait I thought Wily built him with a saber directly like that (it could even simply swing and deflect fire ala Darth Vader) ...
Also programmers of this hack, nice touch making it so that X didn’t actually die, like Zero did in X1. It’s better than just a complete reversal of roles, so great job!
Very nice. It would cool if someday it could be added where each of Zero's upgrade parts make him look more and more like he did in X2.
Or just have him complete at the start. Plot-wise, upgrades are kind of silly.
@@jayhughes3843I think the plot changes were the coolest part. The way they had Dr Wily instead and even his dialogue was more sinister hinting at how destructive Zero's true nature is
Why not make him look more and more like black zero? (Or dark purple if you'd like more diversity on the upgrade parts designs)
What I like the most about this hack is that they used megaman x zero model and not the megaman x3 model.
The x model of zero is simple but the fact they used it blend perfect with megaman x, you can’t even tell is a mod
Fits lore wise too. Iirc, X5 has zero virus sprites with both rounded and square shoulders, seemingly acknowledging that it was a difference in the body provided by the X hunters
Five or six year-old me prayed that there was a secret mode where this was possible. And now that big “what if” scenario has come to light.
i like how the wily pods are written in such a way that it can be interpratated as both wily being the jealous prick wanting to destroy something (X) he is or as wily trying to stop a greater evil
Was really hoping Zero would have saved himself in the beginning.
This is amazing. I have a vivid memory engrained in my psyche of a rented MMX cartridge that glitched out one day way back when and after dying as X somewhere I dont recall. The game auto-continued and spawns Zero in on Boomer Kwanger's stage. The game let us move around as Zero but wouldn't follow him up the ladders so we ultimately had to restart to keep playing. My brother nor my cousin recall this but it's like a core memory for me.
You dreamt it
that is 100% false as thats not even programmed into the game lmaoo what the hell are you talking about
Had something similar happen in Soul Caliber... 2? I selected nightmare but it spawned me in with night terror and the controls were absolutely borked, wouldn't even move right.
That's before I knew he was even in the game beyond a cutscene, and only vaguely remember fighting against him once.
But false memory is also an absolute B, might not have even been something you could fight against. I just remember seeing night terror in a cutscene a week later and it clicked.
I too have also had vivid dreams of this game, such as there being a secret passage above the heart tank in Boomer Kuwanger's stage, if you can find a way to go around the far ledge and up.
Time traveler: *_Convinces Nintendo to make the NES able to display a few more shades of red_*
The timeline:
Is this going to be hardware compatible and more importantly will it support the SA-1 patch that exists for Mega Man X to keep the framerate at 60fps at all times
This is pretty cool! I'd like to try this out later.
I got this game way back in 1994. Played the hell out of it, found every power up, and to this day still wonder what the hell a “Kwanger” is.
I liked the sprites for Zero, but Zero is not Zero without the powerfull 2 blasts and his almigthy sabre impact.
Once again, this is what’s wrong with the game industry today. Nintendon’t refuses to do anything new or novel anymore and because of greed and pride refuse to let passionate fans and programmers do it instead.
I still love nintendo"s new stuff but I agree that they should embrace hacks and mods. They could just reintroduce the virtual console and tie mods to owning the games.
i love how X was like: man i got damaged gotta fix up
Folks like you (and Justin 3009?) make this world a better place to live in. Bless you.
Doesn't seem like the patch works, I've patched multiple versions of MMX and they all fail to load in SNES9x.
Only thing is it possible to change the part in the beginning when x shows up to give him the original opening stage theme? This should be apart of the Legacy collection so fire 🔥🔥🔥
I have had an idea for a while. For Capcom to make a “Zero Gaiden” for X1. Using the original sprites, it would explain what Zero was doing while X was having his first game. It would have its own story, its own bosses, and the final boss would be different, with Vile being a cutscene. The bosses would be berserk Mechaniloids rather than Reploids and there wouldn’t be an upgrade system, he’d just be as strong as he seems in the original X1. Is this a good idea? Should we start a petition? Please tell me.
Really though, I think it’s a great idea, and Capcom should do it. They’re almost certainly not going to acknowledge one email from some autistic femboy in Melbourne, so who’s with me?
Also I forgot to mention, one of my ideas for this is that Zero would get techniques instead of weapons. For instance, he could get Bass’s Sonic Crusher and Booster Kick, among other things, as a callback! Sound good?
12:13 Yo! This song is pretty good...
Heh. I get it.
Zero needed to be playable, in addition to Vile in Megaman Maverick Hunter X
When I wanted to play as Zero as a kid, it wasn't so X could save me from Vile. Zero's the one whose buster is strong enough to damage him. Switching it like this just feels like a tease.
Does this work with the MSU-1 patch ?
😅Whoa that SNES boxart gave me a head spin. Seeing Zero there after all these years was a bit much to process lol
Changing the Opening Stage theme is criminal
Reminder:
Zero was originally a bloodthirsty killbot. Not a Maverick, a killbot.
How can we get that case for the thumb for snes and the label? Need a cartridge
Now I'm tempted to try this one out ! Love my red maverick hunter zero! The mod reminds me of the maverick hunter vile mode stages on PSP vita years ago ! ❤❤❤❤❤
11:40 mission cleared ! Returning to base !
Show!! Thumbnail Top!!👏👏
Awesome!
How do I play this? I want!
Hear the Zero theme for that long in the intro stage would get old real, real fast. Some tracks only work because of how quickly they dissappear.
Reading the comments i was today's years old when i found out zero is a creation of Dr Willy 😮
"Hun, cancel supper plans. I just found out about a romhack I really gotta play."
[SPOILER ALERT]

You didn't show in this video, the very after credit scene, just after the final CAPCOM screen, in which, Sigma leaves a final message found by X and Zero:
SIGMA: AMAZI - - - ORK ON
MY REPAIRS, D - - TOR! SO
HE IS TH - - AST OF YOUR
W - - Y NUMBERS? THEN HIS
DESTINY IS WITH US! HAH!
It's easy to figure out what Sigma wanted to say. Now, he knows that Zero is Dr. Wily's final project, and also, he is destined to destroy X and mankind, as the Ultimate Maverick he was designed for, unless, he's is stopped... Somehow...
That Zero theme needs to be swapped out in the first level, it’s way too short of a track to be looped that many times on a single level
This is awesome! I think we all know the one significant thing that is missing though.
it's quite a pity that Vile or VAVA still needed a ride armor to dispose X, Zero, and later, Axl, when he engages all three of them at some parts (though X8 sometimes he doesn't).
Its the Protoman Method long stages he appears if you beat him in the early stages he is a lot easier on the elevator stage according to the strategy guide and in X8 both sigma and Lumine life points were much as a standard maverick in X7 96 points
Cuando los fans hacen mejores juegos que las propias compañías autoras
No Z-Saber and the black armor had red shadows on it ? Looks weird.
The only game where zero didn't have the iconic boobs. Kinda crazy because I'm pretty sure even the official artwork for X1 had it in the design yeah?
ye
A reskin with some dialogue changes. Not complaining but a summary would suffice.
Bro, fighting those two dogs at the same time blew my mind. Sigmas pet always kicks my ass lol
Finally someone who got it right thank you for this.
So confused... when I played this I did not go black zero, but got his slash as a weapon... and the capsules were purple with Willy as a hologram.
Itd be cool if zero used his sword in this mod, itd make the core gameplay quite different compared to x's og style
I appreciate the increased difficulty of this rom hack
how did u run it bro? not workin on znes
@@igorcanedogaita lemme boot up my PC. I'll let you know
Is there any tutorial to change sprites for this game
Would have been awesome to somehow incorporate Zero's blade, possibly as an offensive dash?
This is still neat though.😄👍
I Love The Fact X Was Already Equipped With His Armor When He Saved Zero
Were the 2 Flame Mammoths at the end a bug?
The only bug I see is that Chill Penguin doesn't look like a watermelon.
How do you not notice all the other duplicated bosses? There was 2 of every boss except Armored Armadillo, Chill Penguin & Launch Octopus.
it's a part of the "hard type" hack the creator made this zero hack in tandem with. for some reason they still haven't made a version that's just the vanilla game with zero instead of X. if you also noticed, every time he uses a special weapon he uses twice the amount of ammo, which is another part of the "hard type" hack that stuck around for the zero hack.
too bad he cant use the Z saber 🙁
He doesn't have it chronically until Dr. Cain rebuilt him after collecting the parts from the X/Irregular Hunters.
@@insectduelwho cares? It's a mod. What's the purpose of playing as Zero if he plays THE SAME as X? This is just a skin mode.
@@hermitcard4494 That's like Zero traveling from the future with the Z-Saber equipped which makes the storyline irrelevent and he doesn't have the Z-Saber in Maverick Hunter X.
@@hermitcard4494 To answer your question, *a lot of people care* about story-accurate changes, even in a mod. Just because you don't, doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees with you. Also if you took 10 seconds to read about what this changes, you'd know this is FAR more than just 'a skin mode.' IoI
@@Hausbrauen Yeah, I see a ton of people enjoying Dark Souls 1st person gun mode, Elden Ring fighter jet mod, *SKIN MODS* Skyrim's TONS of skins, etc... All of them story accurate. Sure. A lot of people.
Wow! Playing as Zero instead?? This is a pretty dope hack!!
12:13 Yo, this song is really good
The patch cannot be downloaded
57:16 oh my gosh he returned 😮
Beautiful hack! A Work of art! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
download doesnt work even when you patch the file with a lunar ips converter
Ah, nice. The version I downloaded didn't change the capsules to Wily. That was odd to see.
I was kinda hoping to hear a monolougue from Wily at the start lol
Awesome hack
A blue dr willy capsule????
Can I have the sprites?
Looks great: zeros helmet should flash when he powers up and his max hit should be a 1KO blue bolt. That would be sweet :) oh yeah and make his dash a lot longer.
It must be difficult to do but it would be good to change the zero when you get the armor
It helps when I play the rom everything looks bugged and an invisible enemy hits me
Jogo show!!
They should give Zero in this Hack his own Skills when you fight him as a boss in Maverick Hunter X he uses a Fire Kick instead ice Shot he could get his ice Rush from x5 , ground smash some weapons could remain the Same but instead of hadouken he should get his Z-Saber ( Saber Beam) since Willy Designed it for him in x2
Increíble mod del juego, como descargo la rom 😮
Was chill penguin bugged? He never made any statues. Also why is zero gaining the special guns? Thats never been one of his abilities. And flame mammoths level and oil. Why make these weird little changes to the game?
How to run on Zsnes? not workin here T.T
I guess this is work of an alternative timeline/reality/universe.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Merci !
Up!
Better use the shot animation of x3 for normal and pseudocharged shot
🎉
