+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ WHAT ARE DIFFERENCES? +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

---<( I. GRAPHIC )>---

New Graphic for robot masters, Levels, weapons, etc.
Some tilesets was made by me. It's fun for changing NES graphics.
Also I made most of the boss graphics from scratch, while there're 3 robot masters
which was integrated from other robot master.

---<( II. MUSIC AND SOUND )>---

I usually use Fruity Loop and write the hex code from scratch by reading the
notation block one by one, 80% of the drums from whole music are my creation,
making the drum in hex editor directly is easier than reading in FL (or any
other musical softwares).

Most of the musics' source are song from my country, Indonesia,
while others are from well known song in the world.
I knew some of them are ridiculous and didn't really fit on the stages,
But, I just want to pick their notation only then I rearrangement again.

---<( V. GAMEPLAY )>---

Attention, please... This is the first time I change whole bosses' AI and I just
a newbie for 6502 hacking, I believe there's still many bugs in my current project.

First of all, I learned how to code in 6502 based on other superior MM5 hack like
RockMan 5G , Endless, Air Sliding, or Even Matrixz's Mega Man 4 Forever and
PureSabe's RockMan 4 MI.

So, there're some new stuff... :3

Oh, thanks Matrixz for giving me some help in the very beginning 9 months ago about
"how to find enemy pointer and description for RAM Address $0588 and $05A0".

---<( VI. OTHER )>---

- No longer enemy invincibility. (I learned from PureSabe's patch, but I didn't
applied his patch)
- Climb Faster.
- Faster recovering.
- Faster fading (by changing LDY value to 02).
- Sound Effect addition.
- After revisiting stages done, weapon will be full again.
- Not stopped charging while take damage.
- Some new stuff.
- Energy Balancer.
- etc.

+++++++++++++
+ KNOWN BUG +
+++++++++++++

- None

+++++++++++
+ CONFIDE +
+++++++++++

I'm sorry if my hack is terrible enough, because I just sharing what is in my mind and I just newbie.
Really, I don't know any ASM languages, and I just self-taught other ASM documentations. But it's very, very hard to applying in the NES rom, until FCEUX come with its breakpoints and Hex Editor feature...
My hack is easy enough to deal with, and I hope the new re-modified weapons are more useful than the original ones.

~Enjoy...
