What is the purpose of this patch? Does it just convert the "1.0" ROM to the "1.1" ROM?

| Megaman X has some weird banking issues that make some levels unsolvable on some emulators, if I remember correctly (do I?). Another IIRC: one could either patch that away, or do a simple "copy /b mmx.smc + mmx.smc mmxdouble.smc" for the same effect. Could be possible that the ROM needs to be headerless for this to work, though. My memory is a bit clouded there, that was all so long ago ('96? '97? '98?)... |

Thanks for the quick replies.
NorQue, I went ahead and tried that command you suggested with a couple of rom images.
mmx1.1[!] + mmx1.1[!]
mmx1.1[o1] + mmx1.1[o1]
mmx1.1[!] + mmx1.1[o1]
All of them stopped on the opening-to-menu transition. 
You mentioned something about using headerless roms. What are they and how would I make one? |

| Super Nintendo rom files often have a 512 byte header that's not really necessary. It might tell the name of the SNES copier used to dump the rom, for instance. If you open the file in a hex editor, you can remove the first 512 bytes manually ("200" bytes in hex) and see if it still works. |

I knew I had a Déjà Vu when I wrote the above post.
And about that header, exactly what dantheman said. Remove the first 512 bytes and you should be set.
As I said, I really don't know if I'm remembering that correctly. May also be possible that my memory is playing tricks on me. |

Okay, after finding a decent hex editor and learning how to use, I ran through the steps again with both [!] and [o1] images of the rom.
The doubled [!] was the only one that loaded past the title screen. I ran and got the leg upgrade, beat chill penguin, then went to Storm Eagle and the leg upgrade disappeared so I don´t think it solved anything...
Anyone have a copy of this patch? Or is there some other hex editing trick that I could try? |

If I had the patch I'd be glad to send it to you, to patch the ROM yourself, but asking for the actual ROM is against the roolz.

| Covarr is right, please only ask for the patch file itself next time. Sadly I don't have it either, or I'd upload it to some place more permanent for everyone. Can't find any mirror links anywhere =/ |
