PC & PS1 versions of the game?
Are the PC versions of MMX1,3,4 included?

Are MMX3,4 the PS1 version?

Or are MMX1-3 the SNES version with only MMX4 being the PS1 version?


So many possibilities - can anyone clarify?

MMX 1-3 is SNES emulation which has obvious slowdown while X4 is a direct port from PS2/Gamecube version that delivers fast loading time, compared to original Playstation 1 version. In short, MMXLC 1 includes MMX 1-4.

I think this is wrong actually. X1-X3 are the SNES versions with some slowdown fixed. It’s pretty accurate to the originals so they sadly kept some of it in. X4 is the PS1 version, but with much faster loading than the original.

So they just emulated the SNES instead of going with the PC versions? Ugh.

Pretty much, although some of the slowdown has been fixed from the original, and some of it is the same

Nope. You're incorrect. X4 in PS1 version has long loading time, compared to PS2/Gamecube version.

I know, but the original X4 was a PS1 game. The version in this collection is faster than the PS1 version. The PS2 is also faster than the Ps1 version.

Everything is emulation in this collection. Even the games that had PC versions and were superior in such.

Why? Because Capcom, that's why.

Good question. I'm fine with MMXLC but still suffers 8+ frame input lag, compared to original SNES hardware.

As someone who grew up playing the PC ports of 1 and 3 trust me they were not really superior. X1 was missing platforms in some annoying places, had no ride armors, and some bosses did not respond to their weaknesses properly.
X3 did have the cutscenes from the PS1 version but there were some weird bugs in the game that caused certain sections to have input issues that did not exist in the original.
In short the only benefit each of them had was the save system and that was brought in for the collection

I was moreso referring to the later games (X4 and on), but yeah, there's X3 too. Didn't know about that though.

And the X1 version... wasn't that on DOS?

Ye it was on ms-dos(so windows 95/98 could run it well as well) and it wasnt a very good experience as stated by Lovius xD The music was worse with the good old hard midi experience, sometimes the fps ran choppy
The only advantage PC version had was better colours + resolution but neither matter when game was hella choppy; and the MS-dos version was riddled with bugs and glitches.

X3 on the other hand wasnt actually that bad and I'd consider X3 PC better than SNES/PS1 and Saturn. i never encountered input issues but I wouldnt doubt that they existed for some people.
