Full undub patch of Mega Man ZX. It is a 2D platform game published by Capcom the NDS in 2006, also known as Rockman ZX.

This patch is technically not undub, instead of transferring Japanese audio into the Amercia/European ROM, it is done by transferring English text, graphics and subtitles into the Japanese ROM. All in-game terminology was restored to original (Rockman, Repliroid, Irregular, Livemetal, etc).

In addition, this patch also features Prof.9’s Slot-2 Patch.

Features

  • Every piece of voice acting is present.
  • No crashes, game should be playable in every aspect.
  • Magnificent ASM hack from DiegoHH: a subtitle feature originally present only in the European version was added to the game's FMV cutscenes.
  • All in-game terminology is restored to original.

There are two versions available, choose which one you want to use:

  • zx_undub_1.01.zip - Undub patch only.
  • zx_undub_1.01_zero_bosses.zip - Undub patch also includes the said patch from @Prof. 9.

To apply the patch (Windows only):

  • Place a clean Japanese ROM file of Rockman ZX into the patch folder.
  • Rename your clean ROM to zx.nds.
  • Run Patch ZX.bat.
  • You will now see the patched ROM next to your original file.

Note: If you are upgrading from v1.0, you have to re-apply the updated patch to the clean rom, and not to the one patched with the previous version (though your old save will be compatible).

User guide

Translation notes

Due to English game script being much longer than the Japanese one, not all dialogue boxes ended up having an associated voice clip. It doesn't mean some clips are lost. It just means that some blocks of text which fit into one box in Japanese, now have to be split in two due to a longer text (Japanese text is much more compact than English).

The voice for such two split blocks plays during the first of them, so if you wanna hear everything, don't scroll the dialogues too fast. Technically, this is fixable by completely rewriting all the game's text to fit the original number of blocks, but no volunteers so far.

Compatibility

The undub was tested and confirmed fully working on DeSmuME and Acekard 2i flashcart.

This will not work on old R4 flashcarts from 2008, and unfortunately it is impossible to fix.

Changelog

v1.01 2019/09/26

  • Fixed a couple of cosmetic issues on Save/Load screens.
  • Added a Rockman Zero 3/4 extra bosses patch by @Prof. 9 based on a suggestion from @RaymanTheHedgehog.
