Enjoy

P.S. - I'm planning on porting this game to Wii console when I will find out what caused critical error in one of attempts ^_^"

Hooray for homebrew.
If you can make a Megaman related game for DS that will be fun. =D

Hmm in Tetris game I have graphics prepared with Rockman theme but here...I can for a quick "make" do something like this
Since X is red and O is blue than
O -> Rockman
X -> Blues
Plus as very last thing to do, animation when Rockman wins and when Blues wins on upper screen...that one will not be difficult I guess if I can find all graphics at certain place ^_^

But first things first... I must create somehow that graphic changing and most difficult thing, "check for winning line"

EDIT #1
Updated, screenshot and first post edit coming now

can u make a animation like: O|X|X
if Megaman gots 2 bonded O|X|O the dot is where the O must be
than he shoots at Blues . | | almost 3 O and Megaman is winning
and than blues is weak
than he is on the ground with pain and get battle anymore

I don't get idea very well but I won't break Tic-Tac-Toe main rules for sure
I'm planning on replacing O with Rockman X with Blues but no such shotting things are planned in any way

its just a animation that Megaman shoots at blues
and blues is like this pic: http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Classic/Protoman/PBF/protomanpowerfighterssheet.gif

Possible only on upper screen as addition when I will finish main mechanics
Just finished reset button, now off to testing it

ok XD
i think that is ok
hmmm
and now...
well i gonna download it when its done and if i can find my USB thingy where i can put my Micro SD in than i can play with my little bro XD

Heheh I hope I will be able to finish it, especially that Reset button is buggy, fun-mode buggy... Guess I will leave him be for now

EDIT #1
Updates still flowing into first post :P
Game almost done I guess

EDIT #2
Gam is playable enough to say that main mechanics are like done...sort of
Now it's polishing time and tracking bugs especially one annoying me a lot
after that some more Rockman graphics I guess ^_^

OK
Nice work
ur good XD

Everything is coming to great finish
I just got a BIT lazy xD
but I will try to polish it today at least finish scoreboard, kill biggest play bug (maybe last one) and replace some graphics...heheh
I just wonder how it is with releasing it, after all Capcom is the owner of Rockman :(

EDIT #1
Friend says as long as it's fan project with no material gain and not claiming Rockman stuff as mine then it should be OK sort of
I hope he is right :P

I don't like double posting but 3 days passed so I guess it's a bit OK to post now
Game was tested a lot just I want to make very last correction of dialogue box of Mettaurs by about 4 pixels (small thing but annoying /omg )
Then I have got idea...I will port game to Wii, it's not very complicated and I know Wii programming a bit now so if everything (very very very everything) will go (very x n times) right then I will port it with time period of that one night...we will see if I will success heheh
It will be good to have same game in two versions...oh maybe multiplayer between DS and Wii game would be also possible...but this thing for later...very later /gg (possible though)

Once again, hooray for homebrew!! Good job. /no1
Possibly I would like to test it when it comes out in NDS ROM format. /heh

Hot news
I got info from friend that as long as:
1) I don't claim Rockman characters to be mine
2) Give credits to Capcom
3) Don't earn money from project
Then it is OK to release it (I will confirm that in another source as well)
So I would have to put credits somewhere...oh I think I have idea :)

Done now I think I can release this game with clear account, I will just have to upload file somewhere hmmm
Sendspace will be good enough?

Thats good to hear, and make a mirror on Mediafire please. =P
Don't use rapidshare, rapidshare blocks my PC for some reason.

Oh 1 more quite important aspect to ask - The BGM.
