The game is currently in v4.0. It allows you to play as Zero in the intro stage, adding a fully functional save feature ''with a NewGamePlus function'', and much needed balancing for the game. Later versions intend to alter dialogue and give Zero his swordplay from later games, but that's for Justin to decide on the future whether he'll keep working with the mod or not.

* AdaptationExpansion: Zero can now use weapons, and Ride Armors. In v4.0, he loses the capability of charging special weapons and using upgrades in exchange for being able to DoubleJump and air dash on the fly and his Black Armor gives him a ''massive agility upgrade''.

** The X-Buster upgrade works like the upgrade from ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'' by letting X fire both charged shots at once rather than stopping him in place to prepare the next shot. Its properties are also changed; instead of spreading out when they collide, the Cross Buster now crosses itself at a point, allowing you to hit things with ''all pellets'' [[DifficultButAwesome if you get the range right]].

** In v4.0, one big bad bug that was ''never discovered until Justin decided to check it out'', involving your chances to meet Bit and Byte, was fixed. Now you can meet them randomly anytime from beating two Mavericks up to all eight, ''and they now appear on stages you completed''.
** The new save feature also saves your Subtank load, saving you the trouble of stopping at a completed stage to fill them. Not only that, ''it also saves the MAX Hyper Armor/Black Armor upgrades and you can carry them over to the NewGamePlus along with Zero's saber''.

** The released version of v4.0 has changes to some breakable objects to compensate for Zero's inability to charge special weapons. Crush Crawfish's blockade at the start of the stage can be dealt with using Tornado Fang or the Frog Ride Armor; Tunnel Rhino's boulders can be cut down with Zero's saber.

** Update v4.0 changes this around. Zero becomes a slower character and loses the ability to charge special weapons, but comes with his DoubleJump and Air Dash in hand, and his Black Armor basically makes him [[LightningBruiser frighteningly agile]].

Nothing like being this mod's fucking beta tester and knowing what's coming.


''Mega Man X3 - Zero Project'' is a ROM hack of ''VideoGame/MegaManX3'' made by [=Justin3009=]. As its name implies, the ROM hack expands on Zero's playability by making him usable throughout the entire game and giving him features that weren't available to him in the vanilla game.

The game is currently in v3.1. Later versions intend to alter dialogue and give Zero his swordplay from later games.

If the Mosquitus miniboss in the second Doppler stage is beaten as Zero, however, he will still be rendered unplayable for the remainder of the game.
