Warnings

Mega Man X5 is a single-player sidescrolling action game in the Mega Man X series.

Originally released for the PlayStation game console, it was ported to PC between 2001 and 2002. Unlike PC ports of previous Mega Man X games, this title was localized and released in Asian territories including Korea, China and Taiwan.

Despite its popularity in Asian territories, the Simplfied Chinese and Korean releases were extremely rare products; bizarrely, the Simplfied Chinese version was published and released by UbiSoft Shanghai.

Known Issues

• The Japanese and Asian versions cannot save certain setups including display modes and initial button mapping config, which did not happen in English version.
• The Korean version, for some reason, has Debug Invincibility functions included (presumably by accident). F12 on the keyboard serves as the Debug Invincibilty switch.
