IX. Program Advances
**********************************************************************

Ok, the basics on program advances.

It all started back in MMBN 1st, where people could use program
advances such as dreamsword and deal opponents 400 damage, which
usually hurts more than the singular chips used to make it. With each
new game, more program advances were added/removed.

In MMBN 2, it became more important, as people began to use combos to
deal high amounts of damage.

In MMBN 3, good folders meant combos or program advances, mostly just
the P.As.

In MMBN 4, can you say lifesword madness?

In MMBN 5, it got toned down. 1 of each program advances per battle.
Just imagine someone missing their attack with dreamsword, then
selecting another sword, widesword, longsword, then pressing ok only
to find it's not dreamsword but a bunch of now not so useful chips.
Same applies with all other P.As.

Anyway, onto the meaty part of this section.

X. Miscellaneous Tips/Notes/References to other games
**********************************************************************

These tips may or may not later be put in newer sections, battle tips
and such.

Free peek inside PMDS, first buy a unlock subchip, save before you
open one. Open it after, if you don't like what you get, reset, and
you won't have to open it. Works for the other games.

You can redo missions for chips, navis get stronger after every
mission. Their ability becomes slightly better too in Searchmans case.

My tips for a easier game.

Battles may sometimes be easier if you enter in full synch first.

Learn to time your attacks so you get full synch.

To run, use the L-button in the selection screen in battle. Not
always successful in later areas.

Save before big battles, you wouldn't want to redo everything over
again if you lost, and if it took you about an hour, would you?

Try to get the GMDs in battle, they're free, and it could be useful,
like money, whereas you get less than 500 per battle up to the part
where Rock turns dark. At times, earning 2500 is nice.

Chip traders have an auto save function, meaning it saves after you
get something, make sure you don't accidentally throw a
good/rare/useful chip.

Slowgauge can be very helpful in the missions, since the menu
automatically gets forced open when the bar is full, and you may have
to kill things with your buster, so fast gauge is no longer always
going to be preferred to be preset to your folder for going through
the game. In netbattles, maybe, but definitly not for missions.
Fastguage actually lowers your chances of victory in missions. Same
applies for Fullgauge.

Use all your advantages against everything you encounter, allow no
mercy, unless you want that green mystery data, or are testing chips,
activating program advances, testing souls, navi customizer effects,
or just leaving viruses alive, just so you can study their attack
pattern.

Dark chips still drain your life, just like the last game, but Chaos
Unisons, your Hp will remain relatively safe. So unless you're going
to use Chaos Unisons, stay away from dark chips.

It helps to use the boss' weakness against him, like water against
fire, this does double damage, so if it's a multi hitter, a few
attack+ can mean a significant increase in the amount of damage.
Especially for chips like Super Vulcan and Twister.

Subchips are 1 use per subchip, so use wisely, unless you have a lot
of zenny and know of some good subchip dealers.

Changing your Navi customizer can be a big help. Selecting 6 chips
allows 1/5th more chance of getting a Program Advance ready to be
unleashed on your opponents unsuspecting @$$. Undershirts allow an
extra hit before you die, quite useful, it's sort of like an boost of
hp, and late in the game, 1 attack can reduce your life from 300 to a
measly 100, and with undershirt, as long as your hp is above 1, the
next time you get hit, it will drop to 1, it was part of a
invinciblity combo that worked well in MMBN 3, with wood style.

Use 1-2 codes, people. I know some powerful chips come in a crappy
code(Guardian O), but if you can only select a High Cannon D, and your
enemy selects 2 Cannon Cs, your opponent can be dealing more damage,
and as we all know, more damage done to the enemy=good. With 1-2 coded
folders, you can select up to -5- chips per turn, 5 times the @$$whoop,
5 times the fun.

Use things that correspond to your style of gameplay, so use swords if
you like the range of panels it covers, rockcube+airshot if you like
having a moving shield worth 200 points of damage hit your enemy,
ect...

My email is Mavrick_Hunters@Fastmail.Fm, well, I'm not used to
posting/remembering email addresses or numbers, so it's close if not
correct.

ALSO, NO CRAP.

Means no emails with any attachment/s, no advertisements, no
software, no spam, and if you have several questions, throw'm all in
1 email. -Any- attachments will be regarded as spam.

If you do the wrong thing and I find you, you're screwed.

Here's references to other games and series not part of the MMBN
series.

- Above Lans bed has a poster of Otenko, from the Boktai series.
- Gun Del Sol, these chips come straight from the Boktai series.
- Django D/SP chip, this is like the piledriver from the Boktai
  series.
- Z-Saber, this chip is from the Rockman Zero Series. Zero also uses
this in the Megaman X series.

XII. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
**********************************************************************

Q. Double Team?
A. Capcoms way of getting the $$$. 3 games that say Battle Network5,
Capcom is going Pokemon on this.

Q. How do I perform a soul unison?
A. To perform certain soul unisons, select the corresponding chip
type(sword=Proto soul), and select the unison button.

Q. Why can't I perform a/that soul unison?
A. Perhaps you are not using the correct chip, or you've already used
it in battle already, or have not unlocked it.

Q. Where is Zero?
A. Zero is on a chip, like the Z-Saber in MMBN4.

Q. What games can this one link up to?
A. A reasonable amount, Boktai 2, MMBN5TOB, and MMBN5TOC. Maybe
Double Team in the future, if the make a cable link so that GBA games
on the DS can link to ones on the GBA/GBASP.

Q. What strategy do you recommend against this boss?_(insert name)_
A. I usually do provide a half-@$$ed strategy, which should be good
enough if you use it wisely.

Q. This guide sucks.
A. First of all, that is not a question, second of all, why are you
reading this guide if it does suck, third of all, you're too stupid to
actually appreciate the people making guides to help other people, and
all for free, and fourth, your opinion means as much to people as bird
droppings.

Q. Why don't you include this (insert stuff) in your guide?
A. I may or may not have tested it, I'm too lazy to, or I have enough
of that already.

Q. You can understand Japanese?
A. Uhh, I understand very few words, like seppuku(ritual suicide),
words yes, no, and that's about it.

Q. What's new in this game?
A. Viruses, souls unisons, chaos unisons, secret chips, add-on to the
storyline, navis, and a few other surprises.

Q. What's the story like?
A. I have no idea, try asking some other people, like Chibi Soma, he
understands more than me, however, he doesn't really like this game,
as the fact that certain parts of it put him through hell.

Q. Where do you get the rom?
A. Do your own dirty work.

Q. The gameplay at certain parts is stupid, you agree right?
A. Yes, I hear Chibi Soma got quite pissed off at certain parts.

Q. Can I host your guide on my site?
A. If you can find my E-Mail address, we can talk.

Q. This game lost the tournaments factor, that's good right?
A. Yeah, less (random) stupid forced fights and scenarios.

Q. It's Z-Saver, not Z-Saber.
A. Look how close the V and B are. Is it not possible COA made a
error? And that's not a question. Next.

XIII. Credits
**********************************************************************

-Me, MavrickHunters(Mavrick_Hunters elsewhere) for creating this
guide, for continuous playing, and neglection to do some things, such
as playing other games, keeping accounts active, and over 200kb worth
of typing just so I can help people out on the game.

-Megaboy, those maps were very helpful, especially in the missions,
also reccommended you download it if you can find it, the file size
however, is quite big, 7mb took me 44 minutes to fully download it.
Dsl or better=good, expect the file to take more than a few measly
minutes with dial up.

-MMBN5 boards, opinions do matter, giving me hints on
what to use, and what not to use, and answering other peoples
questions which in turn also gave me an answer for future problems.

-Capcom of Japan, for making this game, and the rest of the series
too, not to mention adding some new features too.

-OmegaEuzan, supplied me with some of the chips MB, and the order
of certain chips and where they belonged. 

-The people who kept bugging me in emails to get this thing done,
or at least do some work, otherwise, there would've been no progress.

-You, the reader, this is made so people can read it and get past
certain areas and not fill the message boards with useless crap.
