Since I am really late this scene, when can I find this game? I found the authors website and he reference downloads, but they aren't there. I see a version from time to time on eBay, usually asking a obscene amount. At the last retro gaming expo I was out a vendor had a stack of MegaMan CD copies that were PCEworks repros. Are these PCEworx copies the only version of this game around? Are they the final version, based on the creators blog he was reworking the sprites to make a better looking MegaMan game. I'm not sure where this left off. There is a thread on Sega-16 implying the copies being sold out there are not legitimate. In this thread it implies, so took his work gave it to a german company with began to re-sell. The author says in the thread that he was really mad that they did this and he expressly prohibited the resale for profit. So is PCEworks the german company that was illegally selling and dsitrubuting the game as implied with thread? So I am asking did this get completed or moved someplace newer? Did nintendo/capcom issue a cease and decise order? The last nintendo console I have owned was a gamecube, but it looks like they have turned into real @$$hats.

It's not really anything special, content wise. It's a nice little project but all that's new is the Redbook audio. There's tons of videos you can find. Zero new graphics. I think Bonknuts is just too busy to finish it.
If you want it so badly, go visit 4chan's /vr/ board and maybe if you beg enough, someone might send you a file link.
The Genesis remake of MegaMan (better graphics!!) and the PS1/PS2 version (same graphics but CD audio) may be worth looking into for better or similar experiences.
Also literally none of these developers give a rat's ass about their games being sold illegally, half of them are basically dead anyway. Konami is quite a greedy company and yet they've never given a Cease & Desist for the bootleg Rondo copies, despite all the angry fanboys emailing Konami.

Lukester led you to the spot to find the file. Someone here may send it over to you via PM or something. Bonknuts is around here lurking somewhere also. Of course, if you don't find the idea of PCEworks making money off whatever roms they can, it is as you say available from them. And yes they are the ones that took the ROM and sold it. there are several threads here on it. PCEworks sent an e-mail earlier today saying they were doing a sale for 30 years of PCE next week, offering a discount on each box set (presumably of %30). (I backed out of sale years ago and I still get damned e-mails)

As a fan of the original Mega Man 1 on NES, the PCE CD version with its redbook audio from the Complete Works PSX collection is really nice, especially with the PC Engine controller. :D

I can Dropbox it for you. Send me a PM if you want it.

There was a site passing out the discs and posters for free.
I don't remember the name but that's how I got my disc.
It has the fancy mega Man stuff on the top of the cd too. So I wouldnt pay anything for these discs imo as I know they can be gotten for free.

You had to email freeturbodiscs@gmail.com
That's how I got mine. It came with a cool Mega Man poster as well. I can post pics if anyone is interested.
Last time I checked they had stopped giving them out for free.

Yeah, the game is unfinished, at least for now. Fragmare was working on sprites & tiles, & I was working on my own rendition of the soundtrack, including a few extra tracks, like different songs for each Wily level, & a Wily boss tune. I really only have maybe 4 songs left to do, but I just haven't had time or enough motivation. Haven't worked on any music since last July!
I hosted the songs that are basically finished here: https://soundcloud.com/user-826236355

Thanks for the details, they is a repro of RockMan CD sitting at $20 on eBay right now and I was debating if I should bid on it. I'll just wait, besides I have a mysterious song begging to to played. A lot of times I dodn't get to play my PCE like I want to, so I usually play a shmup or a platform. I play MegaMan usually only casually, so it's a good for a couple level playthough for me.

do people go to 4chan for anything but titties?

Some of the /b/raids are absolutely hilarious to watch. I remember Mountain Dew had this online poll to decide the name of their next energy drink or something. And 4chan boosted the name "hitler did nothing wrong" as the #1 vote. And "moist nugget" was #2 or something lol.
But yeah, tities.
