Fix the save problem in MEGAMAN X

[Mearodin]

Allow me to explain.

1 this problem was in the original.

2 when i had beaten that crap and trash SPIDER boss after zeros death i saved the game with full sub tanks and 9 lives total. love killing those robo bats.

3 when i loaded the game from my save the next morning I HAD ONLY 2 LIVES AND NO ENERGY IN MY SUB TANKS AND I HAD TO KILL THE SPIDER BOSS AGAIN!!!

4 after all these years capcom STILL has not fixed this problem!

5 when i buy a game i expect it to be fair and have a save system that works! when you save AFTER A BOSS FIGHT!!! you should not be forced to play the same boss fight againe and have all of your lives and sub tanks reset!

6 this is wrong! i wont buy any more capcom products untill this is fixed! that spider boss is trash and the fact that all my stuff was reset just like when you enter a code on the SNES where you are at sigma and you are still forced to go and fight spider boss AGAINE and see zero die AGAIN! that is a big big flaw that needs to be dealt with!

if other games can have a save system that works and DOSE NOT FORCE YOU to replay a past level every time you load a save PAST THAT POINT! well... this game needs a better save system... one that works!

ps megaman legends is the only thing ill buy from capcom after this >>

You have to keep in mind that the save system just stores the password, so it works as intended. For the original game, the passwords didn't store amount of lives, energy in sub tanks, hadouken or which final levels you had beaten. Since X1 to X3 are emulated in this collection, there is no way to write a save system that would store all that information.

So what they could do fix the problem? Either port X1/X2/X3 to run natively with a save feature or enable save states only on Stage Select screen (similar to save assist in MMZZXLC).

This isn't a bug; it's the way to game was designed. The fortress is supposed to be completed in a single sitting. When it released, we were not that far removed from games where the entire game was supposed to be completed in a single sitting.

Sucks that you lost progress because you didn't know. It's happened to me before in games that I assumed would autosave but didn't. All you can do is make sure to set aside some extra time for you next attempt, or stop playing.

It's not a problem. In Capcom's eyes, it's working exactly as intended.

Incidentally, Sigma's stage really isn't too difficult once you obtain the upgraded arm part. Simply charge up the Rolling Shield and fire. You can ignore most of the enemies while you navigate the trickier jumping portions, not to mention recharge all your weapons and sub tanks before you face Sigma.

this is how mmx was setup when it first came up .. the password only covers upgrades not levels progression
