Hack NES / Famicom

Rockman 4 Minus Infinity

ロックマン4 −∞

Puresabe's big reprogramming of the Japanese Rockman 4, built mostly through new code rather than simple level edits.

What it is

Rockman 4 Minus Infinity is a hack of the Famicom Rockman 4 (Mega Man 4 in the West) by Puresabe, the author behind a long list of Rockman patches and tools on the BoroKobo site. The author calls it a labour of love that went all-in on program modifications, and it is the most ambitious project on the page next to many small fix patches.

What's new

Rather than only editing graphics or level maps, the hack rewrites large parts of the game's program, as the screenshots of its reworked stages show. Version 1.01 is the current release, dated October 2016 on the author's page, and a separate NSF tool for its music is also offered there.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom Rockman 4, following the instructions included with it. The author's page is in Japanese.
