    Says the developer Code Hunter:

    Project Ultibyte – Beta 1.0 Official Trailer

    Project Ultibyte is a retro-inspired indie fighting game mod developed as a standalone fan project by Code Hunter. This Beta 1.0 trailer showcases the core gameplay, classic arcade aesthetics, and fast-paced combat inspired by legendary console and arcade fighting games.

    This is a non-profit fan-made project mod, created by fans for fans, and developed independently from Smash Bros Crusade or any other fangame directive. Project Ultibyte aims to capture the essence of classic retro gaming while delivering modern melee-focused gameplay, carefully tuned for each character.

    The game draws inspiration from iconic eras and platforms such as arcade machines, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, PC Engine, Atari systems, and classic console fighters, blending nostalgia with competitive mechanics.
    This project is still a work in progress, with much more content planned for future updates.

    🎮 Current Status: Beta 1.0
    🛠️ Genre: Retro Fighting Game / Indie
    👾 Style: Arcade / Pixel / Melee-focused Combat

  • Mega Man 3 Revamped (NES)

    Vaporized Romhack Released

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    For the Vaporized family of mods for the Mega Man universe, click here.

    The Vaporized mod of Mega Man 3 Revamped on NES has been released courtesy of clymax.

    This mod is unofficial and is unaffiliated with Capcom.

    This mod was made using binary editing in a debugging emulator. No game-specific editing tool was used.

    The base mod, Mega Man 3 Revamped, is itself a mod of Mega Man III (NES). The base mod is available on RHDN here.

    Credit for the base mod goes to TheSkipper1995 (YT).

    Release Build: Features

    The release build is available exclusively on our affiliate Romhack Plaza here.

    Every Robot Master you defeat, your Buster levels up for more damage against bosses.

    This effect persists across runs and resets.

    Note that your Buster damage against normal enemies is not affected.

    A special save file is required to run this hack. This is to overcome space restrictions in certain banks of the rom.

    This completes the Vaporized trilogy of the Revamped trilogy of the Mega Man series.

    Development Build: Features

    The dev build is available in the clymax’s magical arcade Discord.

    You can now access the first Dr. Wily stage at run start.

    You now start or continue with nine extra lives instead of two.

    You now start with all eight Robot Master weapons.

    You also start with all three forms of Rush instead of one.

    Bosses no longer have invulnerability frames when taking damage.

    Challenge Dr. Wily directly, or farm the Robot Masters to power up your lemons!

    A gameplay demo of the dev build is below.
