Thanks to @Tariq who found the bug, two images were missing from the game’s resources. I have updated the original archive in the first post to include them. Please delete the game from GS and follow again the instructions in the first post.

For those interested:
Megaman collections are on sale at this moment.
I think it will end in 4 hours, so be quick.
