MegaMan is one of my most favorite video game series ever (if not the most favorite), and my single most favorite video game character. I grew up playing those games, and as a grown man I still do. Needless to say, it was almost a pleasure making this mod.

My idea for this mod was inspired by the MegaMan: Power Battle/Fighters games for the arcade. I had always wished they were 3 or 4 players instead of 2, so the original plan was to just make a remake of Power Battle/Fighters and have 4 player support. However, my love for everything 8-bit kicked in, and that's when I decided I would instead remake all of the NES MegaMan games, with Power Battle/Fighters inspired gameplay. The result is, well, what you're about to play in a few minutes!

~Gameplay~

As I've stated above, this mod's gameplay style gets its inspiration from the MegaMan Power Battle/Fighters games. So, those who have played those games before will know exactly what to do.. to those who haven't: this is basically an arcade-style boss rush game.

Initially the game will appear to only be for two players. To add more, simply go to Options -> System Options to change the max amount of players!

~Controls~

This mod uses the attack1-4, special, and jump buttons.

A description of what each does:
Attack1 - Fires normal buster shot
Attack2 - Summon a helper (more on this soon)
Attack3 and Attack4 - Dodge (you can also dodge by pushing Forward twice and Attack1)
Special - For most characters, this will preform a charge shot.

Remember to set these controls in Options->Control Options->Setup Player #!

PSP users: Simply use the eboot I have provided in .rar. Place MPW1.pak into PSP/Game/MMPW/Paks
PC users: I hope you have a controller. If not, and you are forced to play this game with a keyboard, I sincerely apologize for all of the frustration you will soon endure.

~Characters~

There are 5 characters to choose from. Below is a list of them and a description:

-MegaMan-
The butler-turned-hero robot created by Dr. Light, who has saved the world on numerous occasions. His Special is a charge shot. His Helper is Rush.

-ProtoMan-
Created by both Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, and is also MegaMan's older brother. His Special is a charge shot. His Helper is Beat.

-Bass-
MegaMan's rival, and created by Dr. Wily specifically to be just that. His Special is a charge shot. His Helper is Treble.

-Duo-
A mysterious robot from space that landed on Earth, he claims he's on a mission to destroy "evil energy" throughout the universe. His Special is a charge shot that does more damage that the other characters, but it has very limited range. His Helper is Eddie.

-Gray-
A mysterious young reploid that was in hibernation in an abandoned laboratory. After being awakened by a sudden attack, he acquired the legendary Biometal Model A. With Model A and his A-Trans ability, Gray is determined to unlock his hidden past and, ultimately, save the world. His Special is a homing missle that will make him jump backwards. His Helper is Tango.

~Helpers~

Each of the characters are assigned a Helper that can be called on with Attack2. Below is a list and a description of them:

-Rush-
MegaMan's faithful dogbot. When called, Rush will become the Jet Adapter and attach to MegaMan. While in Jet MegaMan form, MegaMan's Special becomes the Super Arm, a weaker but quicker attack compared to the charge shot. Also, by pressing the Jump button again in the air, MegaMan will be able to preform a double-jump. And while Jet MegaMan form, he cannot be knocked down. MegaMan can revert to his normal form only after losing a life, so choose wisely!

-Beat-
MegaMan's birdbot, given to him by Dr. Cossack. When called, Beat will immediatley fly to the enemy and stay ontop of them, constantly causing damage. After a short period of time, Beat will disappear. Beat is also the ONLY Helper that can be called on in the air.

-Treble-
Bass' dogbot, and possibly Rush's rival. When called, Treble will immediatley fire a charge shot, and then disappear.

-Eddie-
A cargo transport robot created by Dr. Light to send MegaMan supplies. When called, Eddie will throw a bomb forward, then disappear.

-Tango-
MegaMan's catbot, only seen in MegaMan 5 for the Gameboy and Rush's playmate. When called, Tango will cough up a razor blade hairball that has boomerang-like movement, and then disappear.

Keep in mind that calling a Helper will drain the MP bar (located under your Life bar). Different Helpers cost a different amount of MP to call, so use them wisely!

~OpenBOR Version~
Because this uses some script, I recommend you use version 3.2252 or higher. It should work fine on all later versions as well. PSP users just use the version I have provided in the .rar

~Tips~

-Is your game lagging a lot when you fire buster shots in the air? Then go to Options -> System Options and disable File Logging.
-Learn to know when to dodge. Dodging recklessly

Hi,

I have ported the game Powermanga for dingux with the help of zear .

Use the new rootfs 28/07/2009 with SDL Joystick supports.

This is a dynamically compiled port of powermanga to the Dingoo Linux.

Installation:
Copy the powermanga in the /local directory, then run the executable. for example /local/games.

Controls:
D-PAD - D-PAD
B - special fire
Y - Fire
START - START
SELECT - SELECT

Bugs:
/ current version has somes slowness during the game.
/ The game is in 320x200.

Just a small update with the following changes copy and pasted from the readme:

Version 1.12:

1. All menus are now fully navigable using the touchscreen.
2. Improved touchscreen highscore signature screen including better drawing

I think the version that GPH shipped on the Wiz is 1.1 so it is missing the changes from 1.11 as well so I would recommend that people use this version rather than the older one on the Wiz.
