A hack of Mega Man X that allows you to play as Zero.

This is more than a simple cosmetic hack as some elements of the game have changed to make it more challenging. I wouldn't say it's frustratingly difficult, but it's not exactly a walk in the park either.

Here are some of the changes
- Zero is actually slightly taller than X. As such, some of his shots will go over some enemies like the Hard Hat Mets. Zero can also jump a little higher than X

- Flame Mammoth's stage will not freeze over even after defeating Chill Penguin. You now need the Boomerang Cutter to get the Heart Tank in his stage.

- The electricity is still on in Spark Mandrill's stage even after defeating Storm Eagle.

- Some of the bosses are a bit more formidable. Armored Armadillo keeps his armor even if you hit him with the Electric Spark and his ricochet attack is alot faster. Flame Mammoth's oil attack now more of a napalm attack. It automatically ignites. Chill Penguin's slide attack is much faster and his ice breath stretches across the screen.

- You can exit stages at anytime, even if you haven't defeated the boss for that stage.

- Enemies no longer drop large health.

- Zero tends to burn through weapons energy faster, so you need to make your shot count.

- Some of the boss refights in the Sigma stages are tougher as you must fight 2 bosses at once.

- Dr. Wily appears in the upgrade capsules with alternate dialogue for Zero.

- The Super Z-Buster can pierce through armor.
