Warnings

Mega Man X5, also known as Rockman X5 in Japan, is a singleplayer side view scrolling platform game developed and published by Capcom. It is the fifth main entry in the Mega Man X series.
Originally released for the PlayStation, it was ported to PC by Capcom and first released in Asian territories on July 30, 2001, followed by the Japanese release on May 24, 2002 and the North American release on August 20, 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.
Availability
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).
- A port of the game based off the PlayStation version was re-released of Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2, but script was only in Japanese and English in the X Legacy Collection 2 version.

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.
