Howdy everyone. A month ago, an early prototype of Mega Man 64 was released online to minimal fanfare. I wasn't sure if the word spread far enough so I thought maybe I should make a thread for this. For those not in the know, Mega Man 64 is the Nintendo 64 port of Mega Man Legends, originally released on PlayStation. From its petroleum-smeared textures to a stuttering framerate, as well as stripped content and badly compressed sound, MM64 is a mediocre port of great game, with character, personality and technical cleverness. It's what compelled me and several other cool dudes to preserve the prototype.

https://youtu.be/4MrEySDMKcc

The video above exhibits, with annotations, the oddities throughout the proto and the test rooms that lurk underneath the surface of the game's code, all while poking fun of said things. It appears to be at the stage of when it was just being ported to the N64, as all reference to the PlayStation game remain in this proto. I hope you have fun watching and fun playing the proto.

You can DOWNLOAD the prototype here. PixelButts began writing the page at TCRF.

Special thanks to coolmod, BoboMcCloud, PixelButts, Protodude. If I missed other folks, sorry!

The question of the game's quality aside - I liked MML a lot, tho I still haven't finished it -, that video is pretty good, tho I personally would've preferred a more structured overview of the build vs a pieced together livestream recording.

On that note, are you sure the area you show at ca. 3:50 (stage 1A, area 0D) is really a test level of sorts, and not just a glitch? Because I do remember being able to access glitched versions of ex. Downtown in the PSX version(s) by incrementing a different stage's area value beyond its valid area count.

it is a great game. Haters gonna hate
To make the story short, that particular level is in the earliest build of the original Mega Man Legends (Rockman Neo) from what I remember what PixelButts told. I'll have to check what the exact quote was on that one. If its not a test level, then I have no idea what purpose it would serve than to waste one level slot in an otherwise organized level select.

Boy I'm out tonight

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
