Descargar Metroid X ROM Hack

Metroid X
Version 1.0

By Rage Games
------------------

This patch file may be freely distributed if no
fees are charged for its transmission or use.
NOTE: Inclusion of copyrighted ROMs with Metroid X 
or distribution of ROMs patched with Metroid X is
expressly forbidden.

This is a map edit for the original Metroid. Screens, 
enemy and item placement, palettes, text... you name 
it, it's been changed. The primary goal was to make 
the game more playable - the discerning player will
note the careful placement of platforms and enemies to 
make jumps easier. Not that beating the game will be a 
cinch. I've made items much more difficult to get, 
contorted the corridors into winding mazes, and 
completely eliminated many of the energy tanks. 
Beating this version will be fun but it will not be 
effortless.

Requirements:
-Metroid ROM (North America version) in .NES format
 NOTE: ALL ROM REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED
-An IPS patching utility (must have UCON.EXE to use
 INSTALL.BAT)
-A NES emulator to play the modified ROM on

Installation for PC Users:
-Extract all .ZIP files using WinZip or PKUNZIP
 (available for download at http://www.hotfiles.com)
-Place the Metroid ROM (should be named METROID.NES),
 the IPS patch (should be named METROIDX.IPS), 
 the UCON ROM utility (should be named UCON.EXE) and
 the installation batch file (should be named 
 INSTALL.BAT) all in the same directory.
-Run INSTALL.BAT (Win9X users can just double-click 
 it) and follow the directions onscreen.
 NOTE: Use of INSTALL.BAT is not required; if you 
 are familiar with an IPS patch program you can also
 install the patch manually.

Installation for Mac users:
-Extract all .ZIP and .SIT files using Stuffit 
 Extractor. (Available for download at 
 http://www.hotfiles.com)

 the Metroid ROM (i.e. METROID.NES)
-In the second dialog box, provide the location of
 the IPS patch (i.e. METROIDX.IPS)
 NOTE: Rage Games cannot provide help with IPS 
 Patcher.
