Utility description

The "Mega Man X6 Tweaks" project is a compilation of QoL hacks, gameplay improvements and localization restorations for Mega Man X6.

This is a customization tool which includes all the changes available in the stand-alone patches, and a few more. The stand-alone patches are included as a preset profiles.

The tool was written in AutoHotkey (v1.1.30.00). More information in the included readme file and in the links below:

* RHDN Forum Project Thread
* Mega Man X6 Tweaks (Stand-alone patch)
* Mega Man X6 Tweaks Workbook

Here are some of the options in this tool that are not available in the stand-alone patch:

* Nightmare Effects: Can be permanently removed (apart from the new custom menu options)
* Dialogues: Stage Alia calls and "briefing" dialogues can be permanently removed (apart from the new custom menu options)
* Intro: Skip Capcom intro video, skip opening video.
* Player Mechanics: More complete set of Dash parameters to tweak. Double-jump and double-tap inputs can now be disabled.
* Player Mechanics: Frame-by-frame controls for the animation timing of X's Saber, Zero's ground combo cooldown, and the Z-Buster.
* Player Mechanics: Attachment to ceiling can be set unlimited (Shadow Armor, Zero's Hyoroga)
* Player Mechanics: X's Saber can be set cancellable by dashing, both normal and with Shadow Armor.
* Balance: Boss health bar size controls, by level. Includes sub-bosses health bars.
* New Game Status: Randomize Parts carried by Rescuable Reploids.
* Localization: Additional title screen options, including the original Japanese version.
* Localization: Additional voice clips can be selected separately, adding two not included in the sample profile (title screen "Rockman X6", and vocalized boss "Warning" from the Prototype version)
* Custom Art: Individual selection of mugshots by Metalwario64.
* Custom Art: Colors scheme options for X Ultimate Armor (mugshot and sprite palette).
* Stage Mechanics: Auto-crouching for Recycle Lab/Secret Lab 2-2 (Zero). If the ceiling crushes you in a tight spot where you would've survived crouching, you'll crouch automatically and stay locked in this position until the ceiling rises.
* Stage Mechanics: Recycle Lab/Secret Lab 2-2 (Zero), ceiling movement can be completely disabled.
* Damage Tables: Complete access to all damage tables, including obstacles such as Nightmare Effects blocks. Damage values can be modified by enemy/by attack.
* Damage Tables: Gate and High Max can be made vulnerable to normal attacks
* A few additional smaller options.

Latest updates (v2.6, v2.6.1)
- GUI: Changed the way some GUI elements appear, so they're visible in higher DPI settings. Still, if you're on a DPI scale higher than 100%, it's recommended to disable DPI scaling for this program (Properties - Compatibility - Change high DPI settings - Enable "Override high DPI scaling behavior...", select "System")
- Player Mechanics: Added Hyper Dash bonus for Mach Dash (which it has in vanilla, but was mistakenly omitted from previous X6 Tweaks versions)
- Balance: Fixed Nightmare Pressure's health bar addresses.

Reviews

Great tool for an unfair game be more enjoiable.Greyfox2023-09-03Version 2.6.1

Great utility. The game now is bearable. You can change a lot of things, like, shoot power, mobility, virus and bosses. It's also cool to see that some enemies were made to be very tough.

I can't find a single excuse to not recommend this ground-breaking tool.Aceearly19932021-08-29Version 2.6

This tool contains basically every single option in the game customizable, all using current technical benchmark/standard, if anything in the original bugs you, you can customize it out until the game eventually suits your personal preference. This is a satisfying ride as you can feel and experience how you managed to overcome any obstacle which frustrates in the original by hammering divine justice to them. Only very few of the hacking projects I can't find out I have any problem within it. This belongs to the list. If someone for reasons unspoken forced me to say one, it might be how this project bears the name of Mega Man X6 (although the modified game might change your opinion if you're hard-to-the-bone hater of original, mind you).

Customised Mega Man X6 Tweakpating2021-08-28Version 2.6.1

This a good patch to an old retro game which commonly had bad reviews due to rushed released back in 2001. Since I found this one I tried it and the game rocks.I tested it out on PSP-3006 model in CFW 6.61 infinite and it works fine via PSX2PSP. I really recommended Rockman fans to have this. Acediez the project author of this patcher also made a standalone patch and patches with X4 and 5 which I also highly recommend. As part of the people who tested it before it reaches version 2.6.1 I am very grateful for the opportunity.

I give this one 5 out of 5.

Customization and options? Yes!Thirteen 13552019-07-15Version 15

This utility is an offshoot of the Mega Man X6 Tweaks hack, which adds a slew of improvements to the game. The patcher, however, allows you to choose which of these improvements (and a few more) you would like to patch. This allows for way more customization compared to the Tweaks hack, something I wholeheartedly applaud.
