This is a patch of Mega Man that gets rid of the score system to make it more in-line with future entries. 

Changes:
-Score balls aren't dropped from enemies.
-The score is not displayed on the top of the screen.
-Clear points aren't added up nor displayed when selecting a boss.
-The number of score balls collected isn't counted after defeating a boss; you go straight to the select screen.

An additional patch is included which also disables the select button, which in turn fixes the bug that allows players to get a lot of hits on bosses from one shot.

Huge thank you goes to bisqwit for his Mega Man 1 disassembly.
