Metroid - Rogue Dawn

[RT-55J]

That's a speed trick, not a cheat! (read: he should keep it)

[Narpas Sword]

Playing it on my way to work on my 3DS. Great job.

That one (new) secret is really buggy.

[spoiler=SPOILER for the game]

This happens if you exit the secret before killing the enemy in it. If you exit the secret in the room before the enemy you get a floating door (on the left) and if you die at the "boss room" you get the "boss" floating in all of the screens afterwards. It dies when you exit with the elevator(?)


One perma-stuck which I got myself into accidentally while playing through normally.

The bug with that guy haunting you and the floating door have already been addressed in the next update.

Nice ROM hack! I enjoyed playing this game.

I've been playing the hack up to High Jump and Bombs, now I am in Ridley's Ship place and have no idea where to go. Is there a walkthrough anywhere for this?

There is an update that should be out soon that modifies the level design in several ways.  The map is also updated.  I would recommend waiting for the 1.20 update to be released.  It's done but we're working out one final kink.

[DonnyDonovan]

Can't wait!   Been waiting for 1.20 and I'm very excited to finally play this.

 :cheers: good to hear the update's basically done, I'm sure we're all excited for it.

As many already know, I've been following project for years it seems and I want to do a blind speedrun (first time playing and trying to beat it ASAP) on live stream. I've done this for MetroidX and Metroid Captive so far and really enjoy it.

I'd like to do it as soon as, or soon after, 1.20 is released, and want to make sure Grimlock, Snarfblam, Otpoman and any others that want to watch have an opportunity to do so. Also, it's a lot more fun with more people, particularly with fans of Metroid, rom hacks and NEStroid apt people hanging out in chat. It sounds like 1.20 will be released any day now and schedule wise that's great for me, this week/weekend/March, love it!

I'll stream on my twitch, https://www.twitch.tv/spiderwaffle (and maybe my much more popular youtube channel simultaneously) and upload the VOD to youtube.

I heard less than 10 hours for sure, MetroidX took me 3 hours, Captive took 10 hours, and that was with 2 save states allotted per elevator area. It sounds like the nature of Rogue Dawn with recharge stations and convenient password saving would play well without save states.

I was thinking of starting around 6-7PM PST, or maybe sooner on a Saturday or Sunday. Let me know if you want to watch, I'll schedule for you.

Hello had to register just to let you know how much I love this hack. I got it on a real cartridge to play on my Nes. I'm on the second playthrough atm with 83% of the item. Won't stop until I reach 100% You guys have truly perfected Metroid.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!  Is your cartridge running version 1.21?

Yes it is I got it from AliExpress and I supplied the patched 1.21 rom for it myself.

Edit:

[grynold]

Got 245 missiles atm dunno why I can't seem to find the last 2 pickups. What I have found is a lot of roof clipping, some very useful for speed running and some just leaving you stuck in limbo. I also loose a missile tank and an e tank sometimes.

Edit: just found a way to skip the last boss which gives me plenty of time to explore the ending area. Nice :)
