Mega Man X2 "improved" !?

Post by Zepper »

Could someone explain this version played in the following video? It has external music AND sound effects AND a "READY" from Mega Man X5 for the PSX.

It plays music from Mega Man 3 after beating a boss, and the original Mega Man X at password screen, which points me towards a "clone" ? Or maybe it's just a video that was edited to add all those features in it ?!

By the way therere's also a video with a similar version of X3, whith many elements of the PSX version but also of later games inserted in.

Seems like it's a PSX hack of Rockman 2, but I may be utterly wrong!
Maybe some people here who are fluent in japanese can get a better idea about the comments and share with us.

The comments don't really give any more info - mostly just people asking/commenting about the music.
I'm not overly familiar with the MMX releases, but maybe it's a modified version of the PS2 "Megaman X collection" or something akin? (although it does say "PSX" in the description - I haven't seen any mention of MMX2 being released on PS1, just MMX3+)

The PS2 version "Mega Man X Collection" has no improvements. No remixed music, no improved graphics... nothing.

One thing I remember that caught my attention on the PS2's MMX2 was the kind of odd sfx on the Alligator stage.
I didn't play it much to see if I found some other things that looked or sounded different to me.
Is it a port or there's an emulator behind it?

It's not an MSU1 hack or something?

Hmm it does looks like it has a very high resolution, might not be possible on a SNES. Sound-wise it's probably no problem using MSU1.
