Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
"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! :) For more information visit: http://members.cox.net/defgav/hacks.html (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.
