I'm kind of surprised this hasn't hit the Assembler Forums yet but hey here we go.

This release is titled beta v1 and it seems a v2 is on its way soon with more content. Thanks to all of those that made it happen.

PSX release for anyone wondering.

Cool release, shame it seems most content was stripped / not even completed yet for it. Hope they do have a v2, look forward to seeing it

Well that was quick! Beta v2 is ready for download.

Again a big thanks to all of those that made this happen.

Edit:

It seems this new download includes both v1 and v2 of the beta.

Excellent :)

Have to give this a burn and try it out later.

Anyone booted beta 2 on hardware?

My matrix infinity on my ps2 is reporting the disc as a ps2 game for some reason, and my ps1 stops at the Sony Playstation logo

edit: beta 1 boots, not sure why beta 2 won't for me

I wish I had some cd-rs laying around to test this out but I ran out weeks ago. I ran each beta with ePSXe since PSXfin doesn't seem to work with it. I found a pretty good guide on how to rip your own BIOS for emu use If there is any interest for this I can dig it up and post it.

Just tested beta 2 and it boots fine on my PAL Fat with Matrix Infinity. The only noticeable thing for me was the lack of music? This PS2 has had that problem before with proper games though (Cleopatra Fortune won't play any music and it's a legit disc).

I've about three different playstation models here (with the same chip) I'll give it a try to later.

It was suggested to me that a ps2 might not properly detect psx if they use PSX.EXE instead of a system.cnf file, but if it works on yours maybe my burn just turned out bad, hm.

Wasn't there a thread about this a year or so ago? I'm sure there was because I was hoping it was a Saturn beta.

If true I hope someone can dig it up (game or thread). Also could an admin change the title so that is says that this is the Playstation version? Something like "Rockman 8 PS beta v1 + v2 released" will do or just add the PSone icon next to the thread. I'd like to avoid the confusion and not get anyones hopes up if there is indeed a Rockman 8 beta out there for the Saturn. Sorry to anyone that was hoping this was a Sega Saturn release.

Ah, my mistake. It as Rockman X6 - http://www.assemblergames.com/forums...hlight=rockman
