Megaman Battle Network 5 and 6 Mini Map App

This app is a Windows only tool that reads MMBN Legacy Collection 2's memory and grabs current map ID from that.

Then it displays an image of the current room if that's present in the images folder.

The images were taken from Dr. Cossack's Lab without anyone's consent.

How to use

  • Open the legacy collection 2
  • Load up MMBN 5 (tested with Team Protoman) or MMBN6 (tested with Cyberbeast Falzar)
  • Open this app
  • Use Start/Stop button to enable/disable memory reading.
  • If you encounter an Unknown Room - press Edit it and give it a name.
  • The name you've given will be used when loading images, e.g. when you're in the Lan's Room, the app will try to load ./images/Lan's Room.png image.
  • Use +/- buttons to add/delete spoils list found in room (blue, gree, purple mystery data, lotto codes etc)
  • Double click spoil item to edit it
  • Use Stretch checkbox if you want your map stretched (usefull for those streaming people)
  • Use Win+Y global hotkey to toggle fullscreen (conflicts with mixed reality shortcut, not configurable atm)

The app should work under a regular user do not give this app (and 99.9% of all the other apps) admin privs

Usecases

I dunno, having a map ready? Maybe for a stream? Does the reason have to exist?

Legal Stuff

One word: WTFPL.

Assets are not included. Because...

- Wait, did you steal the images? ~ The User

As stated above, the images were obtained from the internet w/o anyone's consent.

We can argue all day about whether coding something means I can tell you what to do. Especially when the app in question uses assets made by other people and is useless without those.

The same goes for the images. Yes, Mega Boy did create the images used in this app, but does he own them? Can he (or Dr. Cossack for that sake) grant any persmissions regading Capcom's assets?

Don't think so.

It's not hard to ask, but I don't feel like there's any reason to.

Dumping something from a game sure requires an investment of time - just as crating this app and writing this readme does. But neither of those acts magically makes any of us the owner of the assets in question. At best it's a derivative work akin fan art.

If there's anyone to ask, that would be Capcom themselves. And we all know what they think (see III. IMPERMISSIBLE USES). Be happy Capcom doesn't enforce its rights and allows us to to what we do
