ZX GBA Connectivity Bosses?

[MoonlitDNC]

One of the things that stalled my playing the original release of ZX was needing MMZ 3 and 4 sitting in the GBA slot of the system to access the extra bosses without using some sort of a cheat device.

The obvious problem being that most people either re-sold their copies prior to playing ZX or had one of the DS models with no GBA slot.

Are these extra bosses going to be enabled by default as if the GBA games are inserted at the start (which is ideal), or are we going to have to resort to modding to get that feature opened up?

you couldn't access it with a "cheat device"

to save space, it pulled information from the carts. Having them in was literally the only way to access that content

that being said, I'd hope capcom has them enabled in this release, but I won't be surprised if they don't

If they were pulling assets from the cart, then ya, this is likely going to be missing those until a mod tries to take a look at it. Guess I'm not pre-ordering.

Thanks for the feedback though, it explains why outright Action Replay stuff always gave me issues & a chunk of the solutions I was reading about at the time were referencing emulators and save transfers to get around the slot limitation problem.

Given that they are included in the collection, it should be possible for them to load off of the other roms just as the hardware would have, whether or not they actually DO do that though, who knows.

Honestly I didnt even know this was a thing. I played the hell out of ZX, did everything in it, at least what I thought was everything in it 8v.
I only ever owned the zero collection version of zero anyway.

Surely they would just modify it to pull assets from the Zero games instead of looking for a GBA cart? I see no reason it wouldn't include the extra bosses.

Even if they aren't included, I wouldn't say the extra bosses add anything extra. I remember the fights being exactly the same as in the Zero games.

True, but having them all ~right there~ was such a cool concept. I'm doubting they're gonna make the effort to make it work though. :/

If they are going through the trouble to add mid-area checkpoints to every game, I think such content should be expected.

My first doubt about the collection was your question, I've never fighted these optional bosses and I wish they would bring this feature to the collection

Hope they have retro model A and Model Omega to play as well, like in the original
