Legal Stuff & Credits ------------------------------ 1. Prologue (^1) The only reason that I made this FAQ is that I really can't stand people keep asking the same thing over and over again on the Message Board. I seriously can't believe why people can't look for other Topics talking about the same thing. Well, I'll shut up and let you guys read on. By the way, you can see those "^X" (Insert number for X)? Those are for your convenience when reading this FAQ. To look for a specific part of this FAQ, sinply press Ctrl + F and type "^X" then insert the section you want to read and hit Enter. You should be guided to your desired section immediately. From now on, I'll be calling the Gospel Duplication Trick the GD Trick. That's easier for me to type, I suppose. Now, enjoy! ------------------------------ 2. What is and why the GD Trick? (^2) The GD Trick (Gospel Duplication Trick) is a trick (possibly a BUG in the game) that lets you copy the Items in the game. This trick is especially useful when you're trying to have more than one identical PAs (Program Advances) in your Folder(s), like BodyGrd or BigHeart. The only flaw of this trick is that it requires beating Gospel, the Final Boss of this game, to get it to work. Of course, this limited the Items you can duplicate, but as you know, the later in the game, the better Items you'll get. Finally, this Trick will cause no harm to the game itself, nor does it to your GBA, unlike cheating devices like GameShark or CodeBreaker...... *ahem* Well, read on. ------------------------------ 3. How to use the GD Trick? (^3) Here we go, the most important part of this FAQ. Before you start anything, make sure you qualify these terms: 1. You can access the Final Gospel Server without anything from stopping you. 2. You have at least 1 SneakRun (for faster moving in the Gospel Server without any enemy encounters) 3. You can easily beat CopyBass and Gospel (because that's EXACTLY what you want to do to get this Trick to work!) Well, if you qualify, follow the steps below: 1. First of all, make sure which items you want to duplicate. There are plenty of FAQs covering this, or you can simply save before you grab the Item you want. Also make sure that you can go straight into the Kotobuki Gospel HQ's Final Room without anything stopping you. Time is precious, same goes for your battries. 2. After figuring out which Item you want to duplicate and where they are, simply go up to the Item, save before you get it, and grab it. 3. VERY IMPORTANT NOW!!! After you get the Item you desired to duplicate, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER EVER Save your game or you'll regret it!!! Go straight up to the Gospel Server Building's last room. Press Start Button to skip all the events until Lan Jacks Megaman.EXE into the Gospel Server. 4. When you're inside the Server, immediately use the SneakRun you have with you to prevent any enemy encounters. Make it through the Server to meet up with CopyBass. 5. Well, what are you waiting for!? Beat the crap outta him, NOW!! 6. Ok, so there goes the Bug Fusion. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well you know what's gonna happen so just mash the Start Button to skip all the Cutscenes to go straight to the Battle against Gospel. 7. Again, beat the crap outta that overgrown Dog as quick as possible. You don't wannt waste any time, do you? 8. So here goes the Ending. Again, mash the Start Button to skip all the Ending stuff and let the Credits roll, unless you want to read the dialogues (after a while they get boring too). 9. After the Credit roll, load your game. What do you see, huh? What? The data you grabbed before you beat the crap outta Gospel? Nothing changed!? Look inside your Pack and THEN talk to me if a copy of the Data you received isn't there. Congradulations, you just successfully duplicated an Item in the game! ------------------------------ 4. What can I duplicate with the GD Trick? (^4) Well, this section tells you about which Items that can be duplicated in the game and which ones wouldn't be able to get duplicated. What you CAN Duplicate: - BMDs (Blue Mystery Datas) - PMDs (Purple Mystery Datas, required OpenLock. The OpenLock you used will return to you after you reload the game after Gospel's Deletion) - Chips from NetDealers or BugFrag Trader. - Traded Chip Datas (*) What you CANNOT Duplicate: - HPMemorys - PowerUPs - BugFrags - RegUP?s (Not the corrcct name, I assume. The ones that boost the MB of Megaman.EXE's Memory for presetting Chips. Replace the ? with 1, 2 or 3.) - SubMems (The ones that boost the amount of SubChips you can carry) - Extra Folders (Folder #2 from Mr. Famous in Official Center Lobby and Folder #3 from Jennifer in Official Center Server Room) Depressed about the list of the CANNOTs? Too bad so sad. The programmer isn't that stupid anyway...... They knew that you can't just duplicate those Powerups or you can have 1000+ HP, carry 8+ of each SubChip, Preset LifeAur3 or BassV3 for the Battles...... You know what'll happen if it actually work. (*: The Traded Chip Datas work this way: You trade the Chip, do the GD Trick and reload. You'll lose the Chip you traded away but you will have the Chip Data you received and the person willing to trade Chips will still be available for trading Chip Datas. Two of the trades in the game gives a Chip Data AND something extra (Folder #3 and HPmemory). Notice these extra items will NOT be able to get duplicated.) ------------------------------ 5. Recommandations of Chips being Duplicated (^5) Well, as you can see, there are 266 Chips in this game in total (if you count the Secret Chips and Capcom Enent Chips as well), and now you're wondering which Chips you should Duplicate. Well, here are a few Chips I found VERY useful when having more than 1 (or 5 :P): - Wind *: It's being sold by the NetMerchant in Netopia Area 2. Very important for constructing a good Gater Folder. - Fan *: It's being sold by the NetMerchant in Netopia Area 2 as well. It's also very important for constructing a good Gater Folder. - Roll V3 R: A Chip you can get only once through Mayl's e-mail. Don't open the e-mail until you've reached the door leading to the Gospel Final Server Room and you can have like 99 of them if you wish to spend the time for it. VERY useful AND important for constructing a BigHeart Folder. - ZeusHamr Z: A Chip being traded by the BugFrag Trader in KotoSquare. Requires 16 BugFrags. It can deal 200 Damage to everything on the battlefield, so just use it with a Barrier and you'll be fine. - Atk+30 *: Traded by the BugFrag Trader in KotoSquare. Only one of these in the whole game so you'll need to Duplicate this if you have a Folder based on BodyGrd or Gater, which does multiple hits. Put 5 of these into your folder and use with the P.A. and watch your opponent cry. - Recov300 R: One tough Chip to get since it's hidden deep inside the UnderNet Area 7. It's important for composing a BigHeart Folder also. Even not used with the BigHeart Folder, it's still pretty useful. - AntiDmg S: The one-time trade with ShadoManV1 S, ShadoManV2 S and ShadoManV3 S Chips on the airplane after returning from Netopia. VERY important for constructing a BodyGrd Folder. There should be more and I'll include them on the next update. ------------------------------ 6.
