Battle Network 1 gamebreaking bug meeting Mayl downtown

[Its_aTrap]

I just finished the water works section of the game, and got the email to meet mayl to buy a present for our other friend. When i responded to the email in my mail folder it never seems to have sent? Megaman keeps telling me to send Mayl an email when I press LB and when i read her email again it doesnt give me the option to reply.
When i go to the metro she's nowhere to be seen to trigger the cutscene to continue the game. Very frustrating to have played for around 4 hours only to be stuck with no way to progress in the game.

You have to actually go to Mayl's computer/terminal on the net and talk to Roll to "deliver the email". Took me a while to figure out but the game DEFINITELY could have been a bit more clear on what exactly to do there. After that's done just enter/exit the station and Mayl should show up and you'll be good to go.

I had to look that up too. I was like... w t f? I had to meet ROLL on the net? Nowhere did it say that in the text. Might have been bad translation or something.
Well... just remember to LOAD CHAUD.

I still lose it every time I see that in the translation, wtf was that supposed to say?

I mean it was delivered by Roll, so it's at least implied that's how it's supposed to work... which is dumb but still. It could've at least updated the hint to say something about delivering it but BN1 is rough around the edges.

I'm pretty sure ProtoMan/Blues was calling him "Lord Chaud" in katakana (as if he originally spoke English), but in Japanese katakana, lord and load are both written as "ro-do"/ロード.

I'm stuck here but for a different reason. I fought Skullman before doing all the talk to Roll and Mayl thing and now, even when I'm in the antique shop, megaman tells me to talk to Miyu but I can't access the right dialogue. She just asks me to fight and no matter what I say, she says no.

You actually don't HAVE to talk to her about anything outside of the fight, I know, the game's clues as to what to do are obtuse as hell especially in this section... god the first game was a mess lol. Head to central Denton until you get a cutscene about the WWW operator selling a "fix" to the auto-driving bug. The plot should continue from there (you never actually meet up with Mayl until the chapter's end on this one so don't even bother trying to meet up with her. Honestly just wander until the game starts chugging the story along).

To be fair, the in-universe character you're asking had no way of knowing what was going to happen in this scenario.

This Sections big problem is that Megaman NEVER stops saying that we should find a present for Yae even after Myu tells us that her shop is not open yet.

At that Point we would need a Line like : too bad yadda yadda let's meet with Mayl now.
