Mega Man X Sega Genesis Fan Port GAMEPLAY on MEGA Sg 

Any awesome snes game that was heavy in action but had slowdown on the snes would be a good candidate for a port

@@fairgamer10 The SNES version of Sparkster would be interesting. It was great that back then a lot of the time the SNES and Genesis versions were entirely different games but with the same title. To see fan ports of these games from SNES to Genesis and vice versa is always interesting :D There's a a fan port of Sonic to the SNES which I would like to check out.

@@TailsOfSaturn I love the snes but don't like it when fans lord it over genesis fans with games that have enhancement chips ... So maybe if we get one of these ported that would be a testament to the greatness of the genesis hardware

@@fairgamer10 The Genesis is a powerful machine. It outputs at a higher resolution than the SNES and it has better 3D rendering capabilities.

@@TailsOfSaturn yeah the machine has higher resolution and processing speed. That's how there are starfox and f-zero demos without helper chips or mode7. However there are limits, like for example the aforementioned demos don't have full gameplay

*Blast processing, son!*

Sega Genesis is a very powerful console

All thanks to fast processor

@@Eldoofus it speeds up itself up in response for the extreme lags

@@damin9913 absolutely true

Yup, its a brilliant port for sure!

I would have loved it! I would have loved to compare both versions head to head. It's so cool!

The controls would've sucked on the Genesis.

Capcom put their biggest projects on the SNES/SFC for a reason, in Japan the SFC sold more, and those games were ported here. The US and Japan were two of Nintendo's biggest markets, and most profitable, so Capcom put more effort where the money was flowing from. A lot of people don't think about the money thing when they complain about the Capcom developed efforts for the Genesis (I have seen my fair share of complaints from Sega fans about Capcom on the Genesis, they made up for that on the Saturn though).

@@TailsOfSaturn how ported it? And how does that work exactly?

I agree, it really is a sight to behold. I like the upped difficultly. Mega Man X doesn't have difficulty options so this gives me an idea of how a hard or medium hard mode could have been. I wonder if this will ever be finished?

Didn't this same dev recolor SF2 on Genesis? Regardless there is a color patch for that game now (and voice patch).

The developer of this port upped the difficulty significantly too. I struggled quite a bit in places.

100%!

No slowdown. Sega does what Nintendon't lol

Thank you, the mega sg has scanlines options to make games look a bit closer to that crt look. I won't be using the smoothing filter for future mega sg uploads.

It's from a guy named savaged regime who does a bunch of remixes, in the census sound font, I recommend checking out the whole album on the youtube channel

What do you mean by "they even"? It's not like they had much choice; the music can't be copied so it must be converted altogether. Simple as that.🤷

It has additional sound effects and also there is no slowdown in areas where there is on the SNES. In terms of sounds and looks I'd say it's just down to personal preference.

The sound effects can leave someone with bleeding ears, no thanks. Hope it's something they can fix if they ever decide to finish the port. As for the music, it is OK, but lacks the punch that the SNES version has. Perhaps it can be tweaked a bit more as well. Also the added sound effects and voices, remember, it is a fan game, and not an official one, so the developer is free to add their own spin on the game, even if it isn't necessary to begin with.

@@Bloodreign1 I'm so sorry, but I think your ears are not good... Well, only connoisseurs know how to appreciate a good wine. As a curious fact, I can tell you that the Snes version sometimes had a rather strange sound that was not heard at all clearly, even opaque. Maybe you're not made to appreciate good art xD

I would mostly have to agree due to the fast that it's using sounds from the Japanese version of X4

Good question. Never considered that, but you are absolutely correct!

People have this mentality and expectation that because it's an SNES game it must automatically have 256 colors on screen. In reality, even super late SNES exclusives don't push more than 120 on screen colors. This includes games like Chrono Trigger and MegaMan X3.

@@trevorlestat971 Some absolutely push more than 120 colours, and sometimes hundreds more, especially once colour math comes into play for proper transparency. DKC hits over a thousand colours in one area.

@@inceptional 256 colors in dk country, some levels display less, about 120 colours, but not 1000

@@inceptional Yeah it’s wrong information.

Yup, it's so good, I really hope it gets finished. The fact that it even has the music coming out of a Genesis chip shows just how much dedication and skill is going into this!

Its cool, but this whole fanboy talk should be kept in the 90's when we were kids who couldn't afford both consoles.

No fanboys crying that I can see, but for 8 and 16 bit afficienado's like myself, I want to see this project finished so that I can play it.

Honestly they actually sound like MMX4

It's beautiful! I really hope this game gets finished. I always wondered what MMX would have been like on the Genesis, and this guy has made it a reality!

@@TailsOfSaturn totally on the board with this when i found a demo of the 1st stage i had my beats by dre on the music n sounds got me hooked.

It's the best!

Thanks for your comment. Yeah there hasn't been much news from the developer. It could be that this and the SNES Sonic port are just a showcase and were never inended to become full ports. It would be great if they get finished one day. But I can also appreciate that it must take a long time and life can be very busy. I'm very grateful for what the developer has done so far. Also, interesting what you've said about the SNES speed fixes being released. I will check these out, I'm a fan of the SNES but have so far only uploaded two games.

I am not fully sure about that. So far I could find out, most independent devs don't work with the SNES because of some of its technical limitations and difficulty to program on it. I think even those hacks for Gradius 3 and Super Ghouls n Ghosts took a bit because of how tricky it was to implement that special chip (the SA1?) on those game's code.

Imagine Final Fantasy on the Sega Genesis!

Hey, why not? As a robot he can have any voice he wants :p

It's X's voice from Rockman X4. Kentarou Itou provided his voice.

@@Pan_Z I'm sorry but it still sounds like Zero to me.

It's sick right! I really hope the dev makes the whole game. He's made an incredible effort with this port so far!

@@TailsOfSaturn Oh i sure hope he does. Knowing that MMX was one of the games that made the SNES a great console for its time, seeing a full MMX1 game on the Genesis/Megadrive would be GLORIOUS! (Just as long as Capcom doesn't get Involved by C&Ding it.)

@@KurisuKagato If it were a Konami title, you can bet it'd be canned, Capcom usually is a bit more laid back on stuff like that.

Please read description for link.

It's fantastic, what these developers do is incredible for the retro community. It can't be an easy task to singlehandedly port a game from snes to genesis and vice versa.

Top man! Let's hope this project gets finished!

É um brasileiro que tá fazendo esse Port para o Megadrivre, ele fez também uma demo de Sonic 1 do Megadrive para o Super Nintendo

I will upload another without the filter

Hey, no problem, description has been updated! Thank you for your feedback!

What nintendid since it's a port of the snes version xD

It's a port of a Nintendo game....derp, think before posting. Oh and the slogan you used, was Genesis vs NES, that shit stopped when the SNES came out.

Thank you for your comment. It was the same developer who did this that ported Sonic to the SNES. Do you know how to code for the SNES and Genesis? From my point of view as a non coder both are incredible for their accuracy. But it is true that the Genesis has almost double the processing power as the SNES. Optimisation would have take a good while I think.

@@TailsOfSaturn I don't know how to program on either console directly in Assembly, although I can code in general in C, but a bit about how all the sprites and backgrounds and some of the other stuff is done. In this case, the developer probably literally copied and pasted most of the tile and sprite art to the Genesis directly and then just messed around with the colours a bit to make it work within the Genesis' lower colours. But that's just the art. Obviously, getting the gameplay in there is the biggest feat, and he did a great job of nailing it from what I can see. That stuff isn't so hard for good programmers though, especially with a more typical platformer like this (doesn't have any of the complex "physics" of say Sonic for example), if you have a source to base everything on already.

@@TailsOfSaturn The SNES made up for it with a strong GPU. A lot of developers had a tough time making games for the console (much like the Saturn was a bitch to program for), and their inexperience showed, that and some didn't bother using FastROM carts, opting instead for something slower. Look at how fast the SNES could move sprites in Sparkster on the SNES, it could be done, but the programmer had to know what they were doing.

You can, see the chill penguin fight in which I charge and dash wall jump. I used the six button controller to do this. Admittedly this would be much more difficult with the three button controller.

@@TailsOfSaturn how you press three button at once on that thing?

@@AYANAMlREl on the 6 button genesis controller you can use y to shoot, b to jump and c to dash. The button layout if used like this is similar to the snes controller. It's not as comfortable, but it's certainly functional enough. When I played mmx on the snes I would use both my thumb and index finger to charge, hold down a and dash jump off a wall. I was able to use the same technique on the genesis 6 button controller.

@@TailsOfSaturn oh sorry im not using this control scheme forgot to mention on my comment i use left shoulder button to dash this is much comfortable than 3 face buttons

@@AYANAMlREl I understand. In the snes originals the shoulder buttons were used to switch weapon. You still have to press A to dash. Funnily enough, when I played Mega Man Zero on GBA I found it difficult to get used to dashing with the shoulder button. I was used to dashing with A from the SNES games.

I'd say no, but it is a rather nice effort, and a chance to perhaps one day play it on another console. That was the great thing about the 16 bit consoles, unlike today's consoles which all seem the same, the SNES and Genesis were like night and day. I just hope the person or persons working on this actually finish the damned thing. I want to play the entire thing.

The reason is because the resolution of Genesis is hight than SNES , this is clearly a Port that smooth the pixels in order to make it "larger" to fit right the megadrive resolution. Better would be respite from scratch the whole thing, but way harder and tedious than just keep the original assets.

@@edmaster93 Completely wrong. Mega Drive does not have any way of smoothing pixels like this. This is either an upscaler, TV, or post processing done to the video. Either way, who would want to play a game looking like this. Only simpletons would.

What are your favourite SNES games? I recently got an Analogue Super NT and want to record gameplay previews of the best SNES games as well as the games I personally recommend.

@@TailsOfSaturn Chrono Trigger. Mmx 1 2 3.

@@nightmarezer0507 I can make videos of these running on the Super Nt, would you like that? Do you prefer smoothing filters or sharp pixilated?

The 8 and 16 bit generations really spoiled us, enjoyed growing up during them. Even got to see the Golden Age oif arcades growing up, with the likes of Joust, Missile Command, Defender, Frogger, Space Invaders, and the like.

Lol, this is an incredible achievement. I'd like to see you do a better job.

Are you for real? Such a cringe comment 🤦

Look mum I'm typing in internet

@aniran goncalves oh so adorable, you know how to type insults behind a screen. It's so difficult nowadays to accept people have different opinions! Do you know what that means opinions, little guy? It means having different tastes and sharing them! Maybe next time you can also start THINKING before you type or say anything, right little guy?

@@martincorbeil4910 thats what happens when you try to give your opinion in a subject you know zero about. All you can do is give your personal impression. Zero valid points to add besides "oh dis so ugly. Me mad... Me want beautiful"
