Scarica Bionic Metroid Rom Hack

"Bionic Metroid"
by defgav

..WHAT IS IT?..
This is a hack that turns the NES game Metroid into a Bionic Commando-themed
game by changing some graphics and text. (hey, remember to read the opening 
text!)

Date created: Well, I started it around April 2002, then abandoned it 
until finally finishing near the end of that year. Then did the text 
changes in January 2003.

Storyline: Mother Brain and the Space Pirates have stolen the Bionic Arm 
technology! They intend to develop an army of bionic creatures to take 
over the universe. Oh, and they also kidnapped Samus. So Rad has to 
travel to their planet to set things right before it's too late. Since 
they stole his bionic arm, he'll have to learn to get around without it.. 
but at least now he can jump freely. So go for it! If you quickly rescue 
Samus (beat the game in a certain ammount of time), she might reward you 
by doing a strip-tease! :)

(The latest version of the hack can probably be found there as well.. not 
that I'm planning on messing with it any more, but you never know. This 
here version is.. uh, I guess version 1.0)


..HOW TO GET STARTED..
This is NOT a ROM, it's an IPS file; a patch for a ROM. You must already 
have a Metroid ROM. (Please don't ask me for help getting one.. you'll 
need to locate it yourself, sorry.)

To apply the patch, go to any website with ROM hacking utilities 
(www.zophar.net , www.romhacking.org , www.cg-games.net , etc.) 
and grab an IPS patcher. The favorite seems to be SNESTOOL for DOS, 
but there's stuff like WinIPS as well. Just follow the directions 
that come with the program. For SNESTOOL, select "use IPS", navigate 
the directories with the arrow keys, select the patch, then select the 
ROM. Couldn't be simpler. It's easiest to first put the IPS file and 
the Metroid ROM in the SNESTOOL directory. And you may want to back up 
your ROM first.. in case you ever want to play the original again.
