This is the official Github repository for the Metroid Fusion Open Randomizer, more casually referred to as MFOR or Fusion Rando.
Download the latest release (v0.9.7 as of this writing) and extract it, then run MFOR.exe to launch the Windows application. Choose your game options (hover over a given option to see a tooltip explaining it), then click Generate. A popup will ask you to open an unmodified copy of the original game. This is not provided with the randomizer for legal purposes.
The randomizer currently works with only the USA/Australia version of the game. To ensure you have the correct version of the game, the CRC32 checksum should be: 6C75479C
Key things to keep in mind:
- You need a jump item (Hi-Jump or Space Jump) in addition to the equipment required for the SA-X fight (Adam will explain those at the start of the game).
- Saving on your way into a new Sector is the safest bet to ensure that you're able to complete a seed. It's possible to get stuck while exploring some of the sectors, and if the item you need isn't placed in that sector, you will have no other way back out if you didn't save before you entered.
If you run into problems with a seed, want to verify a bug, or are just looking to chat about the randomizer itself, check out the Discord! (Official Discord link pending, server is in the works)
