Romhacker infidelity, known for several of his impressive technical hacks, like "The Legend of Link", "Super Mario All-Stars NES" and most recently, his several SNES ports of beloved NES classics, like the original Metroid, the original "The Legend of Zelda", and also both Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 4 by him,continues his goal of porting more NES titles as native games for the Super Nintendo, with other NES to SNES available too by other romhackers, like Super Dodge Ball made by @Rumbleminze as well.

Today, infidelity will release yet another SNES port, this time for the original "Mega Man" title that started it all way back in 1987.

​

Infidelity started working on the Mega Man SNES port right after he finished work on his last SNES port, that being Metroid, and has been working on the project for around 3 months, with constant updated on his Twitter/X account, as well as offering a handful of beta builds for players to test and bring forth any possible bugs or glitches, with the last beta for the project being Beta build #4.

Infidelity is set to release his latest NES to SNES port for Mega Man on Tuesday, February 6th, 7pm EST, so those interested, mark the hour to check out this new port and see what infidelity might have added into it!

Man, that cover is really stupid and comedic.

Capcom actually included that Fat Mega Man in SFxT.

Why not use the real Mega Man for that SNES cover?

Beats me
That's infidelity's boxart. I'm thinking it's because he used the US release of Mega Man for the SNES port, so makes sense to use the US artwork, for as awful as it might be.

I'm just curious as to what the advantage is to porting an NES game to the SNES?

Probably to have less limitations compared to the nes or smth

None whatsoever.
Mere porting is useless, just a way for him to /flex.

An upgraded port/remake/remaster with improved sprites (might even use the MMX games as base) using the SNES capabilities would be something else though.

Well, it could potentially remove slowdown and sprite flicker. Not exactly "useless" but I understand what you mean.

I mean, I just hope the music sounds a lot better since some tunes were bangers. I hate Megaman 1 though. Hope it keeps the glitch with the cyclops because that was a pain to kill legitly.

I really hope someone takes all these NES to SNES ports and upgrades graphics and music to make actual SNES remakes out of them. I would love 16-bit versions of Zelda 1 and 2 (BS Zelda doesn't count).

Thanks infidelity for bringing me so much joy, now I have to figure out how to explain myself to my wife.

I still haven't checked it myself, but I wonder if it's possible to simply edit the graphics of his SNES ports to add 16-bit like sprites and palettes to the already existing port.

You could potentially do some modifications to the code, swap out sprites and play NES Mega Man games with SNES Mega Man graphics... Something nobody in their right mind would ever want to do, because SNES Mega Man graphics were a step back from the glory of NES Mega Man.

However, a mere port is only useful to reduce lag and flicker as has already been said above.

 

[PhyChris]

WTF? The advantages of porting a game to a system that runs faster has less flicker and native RGB support speaks for its self LOL!!

That boy ain't right nor was he ever right.

He makes these ports for msu-1 for streaming audio support.

I'm no specialist but I don't see what could stand in the way from doing this ? I for one would also love proper SNES remakes of all the original Mega Man games.

 

[SDA]

Having already seen the ports of Mega Man 2 and 4 to the SNES, it's no surprise that even the first game would've received the same treatment.

Honestly the MSU-1 is a rather boring “chip” specification. Sure it’s cool that it can play CD audio and all that, but it should have been built with CD streaming via the expansion port in mind, rather than some imaginary on-board 4GB flash chip. An odd failing for someone who is so autistic about accuracy in SNES emulation.

I also know of a mega online casino in Australia that you might like. It's Megaslot Casino - try to play, I like it. But I didn't deposit my money, I only played on bonuses.

Unwillingness, lack of time and interest. Technically, I think anything can be done.
