I agree with Nick, Mega Man & TI-86 is the perfect combination! I can't wait to try this out. Congratulations to Cullen Sauls!

Although I haven't played this game, but seen some screenshots, I think that the game is really cool. However, after the full version comes out, I think this game made go off better if it's ported on a 92, because of it's wide screen and better resolution.But the current game is really cool. @:0)

I agree that Mega Man 86 should be ported, but that will take time. Also, not just the 92, the 89 should also receive a port because it's more Gameboy-esque and more people have it. But the idea is, I'd like to help with the porting effort if I could just get my hands on some 68K programming tutorials. Can anyone help?

YES!!! Someone with a *GOOD* idea. Please give me tutorials so that *I* can port. Vacious, i applaud you. Thank you so much for your smart comment! YAY! Not everyone who asks for ports is stupid...hahaha!

The real pain of developing games is the graphics. This is the most time consuming part(in a high graphic game like this. The programming is usually more in not so graphic games)
Now that the graphics are pretty much done, a 89/92 port should be easy because converting Z80 to 68K is not THAT hard. The code is there, and the graphics are also there. A port should be made soon.

BTW: Some guy(Sorry, forgot name) made some program called codegenie? or something that he claims can convert 85 code to 68K code. I hope he still is
working on this because this would give my 92 MANY new games including this one if there will be a 86 version.

Great job on a great game.

actually, it'd be much easier if the guys who did SMQ or Mr. Nutz allowed someone to use their sidescrolling/vertical scrolling engines and write Megaman m68k. It'd probably work better than the 86's sidescrolling engine

a port from z80 -> m68k = nearly total rewrite....

If you have time to kill, get started now...

Not a total rewrite, loser. The code is there. It's not as hard as you think.

YeS!!!

Some of us DO have 89's...

Oh well, I'll just have to wait...

If it's ported to the 89 it would be awesome becaause the resolution is exactly like a GB... The screens would be huge in comparison to the 86 Megaman 2.

I personally enjoyed the Megaman X series on the SNES much more; however I'd have to agree with Nick on the 86 part. No other calculator (without a CAS) comes close.

Even WITH a CAS. For development, at least.

Have you seen Mr.Nutz. I have not yet looked at the 86 mega man, but I doubt it beats this game in graphics gameplay speed, and scrolling.

where can i get mr nutz

Oh, in development it rocks all TI's; all the good authors program for it and its (a little) easy for a newbie like me to try out 86 assembler.

BTW, I laugh every time my friend's memory goes to 900 fitting about 4 games on his 83 (one being Lotus Turbo). I laugh at his misfortune <insert cackle>.

Quiet, you. That's what I had with my 85. It was a freaking miracle when I crammed _eight_ programs on my ZS 4.0-based calc.

ditto...

HEY! You... the 83s' memory may suck but 83 wasn't so bad. Shut up.

Besides, I crammed 28 games (decent ASM games) on my 83 plus. The 83 plus haas more memory than the 86, too.

I liked Megaman X, too. Maybe a graphics/stage change could be done. Changing the graphics from the Mega Man
robot to the X robot wouldn't be hard. A little level and boss change and presto. A little tweaking to provide weapon charging, dashing, armor and headbashing and voila! However, upward scrolling would be a must... that might be a task.

I also enjoyed MMX. I liked it so much, I am currently planning a 89 port of Megaman X. The only problem is I need graphics. If someone could help, I'd appreciate it. My e-mail is pkmnmaster251@aol.com
