Mega Man Zero 3/e-Reader Functions

This is a sub-page of Mega Man Zero 3.

The Japanese game had e-Reader compatibility that the other versions did not. However, all of the e-Reader content is still in the English ROM, fully translated! They can be accessed with the given CodeBreaker codes and byte IDs.

Mega Man Zero Collection and Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection allow these effects to be enabled in-game in all versions without the use of cards.

Main Set

All of these effects can be activated at the same time; none are mutually exclusive.

8200243A 1000	A new door has appeared somewhere in the Resistance Base.	Adds a door near to the room where Andrew resides. Inside the room is a Z Panel.
82002440 1000	Fish now jump around the Resistance Base harbor.		Adds fish to the harbor, which can be shot. When enough fish are shot, a large fish will jump out. It drops a large E-Crystal pickup! This can be done an infinite amount of times.
8200243A 4000	You have a new friend somewhere on the first floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 1F-A that gives 80 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! I went to the harbor to go stargazing...and a shooting star came down and hit me on the head. Now I have a big bruise! On closer inspection I realized it was in fact E-Crystals. And these are those very E-Crystals. Every time I look at it, I remember that incident. Let me give those E-Crystals to you, Mr. Zero. You know, I was thinking...how is it possible for E-Crystals to fall out of the sky? Could a seagull have dropped them as a practical joke? Or maybe it was a flying fish... Life is full of mysteries.
82002438 0040	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to the hall on Floor 2 that gives 52 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! This big room doesn't get any use at all. I was just cleaning up that locker... and inside it I found some E-Crystals. Then I noticed that it's Hibou's locker. I hear he's on a diet so he won't be needing these. Here, Mr. Zero! I wonder if it was wrong to give you those E-Crystals. But Hibou has a bad memory anyway, so he won't notice.
8200243A 0001	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 02A that gives 152 E-Crystals. Zero, how are you? I'm so glad I could meet you again! Do you remember me? {Yes/No... Prompt} If no: You're terrible! Even though you've kissed me before... Shoot, you probably forget every girl... If yes: Of course you do! That's right! You rescued me when I was captured at that secret base! I'm so happy you remembered me! Here, let me give you some E-Crystals! SMOOCH! Don't tell Ciel about that, OK? Human girls get angry over little things like that.
8200243C 4000	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid near Room 02D that gives 100 E-Crystals. Hey, Mr. Zero! Thanks for saving me that time. If it weren't for you, Mr. Zero, I'd still be locked up. That deer monster would have frozen me and sent me to the bottom of the ocean. I'm only here thanks to you, Mr. Zero. Please let me thank you for that... It's not much but please accept these E-Crystals. I don't have any more E-Crystals to give, Mr. Zero. I'll shut down if I give you them all!
8200243E 0010	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 02B that gives 32 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! Mr. Zero! Looks like you're on a patrol of the Resistance Base. So, Mr. Zero, is it hard to raise Cyber-Elves? I wish to help you in any way I can, so please, Mr. Zero... Use these E-Crystals for raising your Cyber-Elves. I can't do nearly as much as you, Mr. Zero, but... My desire to fight for peace is as strong as anybody's!
8200243E 0040	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 02C that gives 52 E-Crystals. Ah, Mr. Zero! Fancy meeting you here. Oh? You don't remember me? I was working security for the subway long ago. Now that I think about it, that place was the perfect target for the enemy. I know that I have you, Mr. Zero, to thank for my safety. It's not much, but please accept these E-Crystals. I'm sorry, I don't have any more E-Crystals to give. I wonder if there's a way to get them fast and easy.
8200243E 0080	You have a new friend somewhere on the second floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to the main part of Floor 2 that gives 52 E-Crystals. Ah, Mr. Zero! Hibou shared some of his E-Crystals with me the other day. I was surprised that Hibou would do such a thing. I wonder... He said he gained 15 kilograms, so he might be dieting... What's that Reploid think he's doing? Sorry that it's hand-me-down, but take these please! Oh! Maybe Hibou is on a diet so he can be an operator! That chair would be too small for him...
82002440 4000	You have a new friend somewhere on the third floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 03A that gives 32 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! There are things I ponder about every day. Like, why do people wage wars out of greed? I'm perfectly happy with a few E-Crystals. What about you, Mr. Zero? It's the little things in life that really count! Here, let me share some of my blessings with you, Mr. Zero! Mr. Zero. I don't have any more E-Crystals! Don't be greedy. If you are, you'll end up just like Weil and Elpizo.
82002440 8000	You have a new friend somewhere on the third floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 03A that gives 52 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! I was just cleaning under this bed. You'd be surprised what you can find down there! Most of it is useless junk, of course... Sometimes I get lucky and find some E-Crystals. It wouldn't be right hoard them all to myself... Here, Mr. Zero, I'll give you some! On another note... Lately I've been hearing the sound of a cat or baby... There are no Baby Elves here, so what could it be?
82002442 0004	You have a new friend somewhere on the third floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to Room 03C that gives 40 E-Crystals. Oh, Mr. Zero! Our life here in the resistance base has improved a lot, All thanks to you, Mr. Zero! In the past I had to watch friends die before my own eyes. I really am grateful to you, Mr. Zero! I know! As a token of my gratitude, take these E-Crystals! Mr. Zero...Will we ever achieve peace again? People said that when the energy crisis is solved, we would finally have peace, but... I don't see what our being branded Mavericks has to do with the energy crisis...
82002442 0010	You have a new friend somewhere on the third floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid to the main part of Floor 3 that gives 32 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero! Do you know the operators in the commander's room? The redhead is Ms. Rouge, and the blond is Ms. Joan. But, I've never heard them called by their names... Maybe it's because they once worked for Mr. Elpizo... It's only been 2 months since Mr. Elpizo left... Oh, my! I'm rambling now. Didn't mean to bother you. I know you're busy, Mr. Zero... Here, please accept these E-Crystals as an apology! Despite how calm Ms. Rouge and Ms. Joan appear, if you called them by name, I bet they'd be bowled over!
82002442 0020	You have a new friend somewhere on the third floor of the Resistance Base.	Adds a Reploid near Room 03D that gives 52 E-Crystals. Mr. Zero. This Resistance Base is dependent upon E-Crystals, too. Especially the teleporter in the commander's room. It uses plenty of power. Compared to that, our needs are really quite humble. Hm? What am I trying to say, you ask? Hah hah hah? Just, that no one would even notice if I took a few E-Crystals from storage... Don't tell, Mr. Zero! Here, will this be enough to keep you quiet? Mr. Zero! You can't tell anyone about this. You don't talk much, so my secret is safe with you, right?

8200243C 0010	Andrew looks younger now.	This also changes some of Andrew's text. His intro text: Hah, Zero! Remember me? Hah hah hah hah! It's me, Andrew! Surprised? The start of his second block of text: Oh, it's you, Zero. You think it looks funny that I'm so young, don't you? Well, you'll get used to it. The third block of text: Hey, whippersnapper. Well, I suppose I'm still pretty young too. A big perk of being a Reploid is having replaceable parts. So, whippersnapper... The Resistance Base has been really active lately... Are we going to be relocating again? Leave the heavy-lifting to me! I'll prove it's not just my looks that are rejuvenated! Hmm? What that? We're not moving? And here I thought that we were leaving like we did last year... I thought I'd get a chance to flex my young muscles...
8200243E 0008	The conversation with the Resistance fighter in the watchtower at the right side of the base has changed.	Adds dialogue based on what "section" of the game you're in. The first is info on a secret from the previous game! Oh, Mr. Zero... Old news I guess, but do you remember the Crystal Cave? Go to the very end of the 2nd Crystal area, and go back to the left. Then, Z Panels will rain down. ... Sorry it's old news. The second references the snowy base mod: Oh, Mr. Zero... Sometimes snow falls out of season at this base. Well Leviathan might be behind it I guess. The third and last addition: Speaking of which, how is it that Weil can fly? Oh, I guess he is a scientist! That's probably not even a challenge for him!
8200243E 1000	The conversation with the Resistance fighter in the watchtower at the left side of the base has changed.	Like the previous code, this adds three different dialogues. The first is a bit of dialogue hinting at the Phantom boss fight: Oh, Mr. Zero? Have you been using Cyberspace? I think that place is more than just a shortcut. There must be some secrets to it. The second references the Rainbow Devil from the previous two games: To change topics... Did you know that the core of the Rainbow Devil consists of the head of a Pantheon? Oh? You did? I thought I was the only one who knew that... The last foreshadows Mega Man Zero 4's elf system: Ah, Mr. Zero... Cyber-elves have gotten easier to use, haven't they? All thanks to those late nights Ms. Ciel spent researching. It'd be really neat if elves became even more easier to use.
8200243A 0200	A mysterious Cyber-elf has appeared somewhere in the Resistance Base.	Adds a Cyber-elf (presumed to be Phantom) to the roof of the Base. ...? This elf has a sadness to it, like it's calling to me from inside Cyberspace...
8200243E 0200	A mysterious Cyber-elf has appeared somewhere in the Resistance Base.	Adds a Cyber-elf (presumed to be Elpizo) near the Command Room entrance. ...? It has a warm light but there's a sadness to it... Almost as if it remembers this base.
8200243C 0002	A flower has bloomed on the Resistance Base roof.	Adds flowers to the roof of the Base.
82002438 0001	Potted plant added to Resistance Base, somewhere.		Adds potted plants around the Base.
82002440 0400	Potted plant added to Resistance Base, somewhere.		Adds Lilies to various places in the Base.

8200243C 0040	Seagulls now fly in the sky above the Resistance Base.		Adds seagulls to the Floor 4 balcony.
8200243A 0800	A painting has been hung from the Resistance Base wall.		Adds posters of MegaMan.exe to the Base. Adds a picture of Ciel outside of her room.
8200243C 1000	Somebody has drawn graffiti on the Resistance Base wall.		Adds graffiti to various locations in the Base.
