 7. Open your emulator and load the ROM.

 Or if your emulator can apply IPS patches to the game.

 1. Move the ROM and the IPS Patch to the same directory.

 Glitches and Notes
=============================================================================

Glitch: The Final Boss Room Backscrolling. Doesn't seem to be fixable. Can be performed in the original game too.
Glitch: Dying at the Final Boss while holding right and don't releasing it until respawning successfully will make you glitch into Wily's room. Just don't abuse this.

Note: Magnet Beam is ONLY obtainable on Cut Man's stage. (You still must have Elec Beam or Super Arm to obtain it.)
