Hey! I am in the process of making a Megaman X (SNES) hack.  I have no delusions of making an all new MX, and the hacks I need help with are (I hope) very simple.  All I need is to disable the effects of two of the body part capsules.  Specfically, the armor and the arm cannon.  My hack is, basically, a "three hearts" version of the original with some modified looks and replaced text.  Text, palettes, and uncompressed graphics I can do.  I have not been able to find a way to disable the upgrades via patching PAR codes to the rom, so I assume I'll either need to find some level data to remove the capsules or something.  Possibly use some ASM (which confuses me to no end).  Any ideas/suggestions/knowledge that would help me?

Edit: After some more playing around with Geiger's Snes9X Debugger, I made a discovery.  I used one of my cheat codes that changes your upgrades and discovered that it did indeed correspond to the same position ($7E1F99) in the RAM.  I confirmed this using the hex editor in the program.  I then put a breakpoint on writing to that spot, and BOOM! I got this little line:

$87/D0B2 0C 99 1F    TSB $1F99  [$86:1F99]   A:B101 X:0000 Y:0002 P:enVMXdizc

Now, I suppose I have a new question.  How can I hack the rom so that the address never gets written to?

Well, like I said I'm mostly groping in the dark here.  So, what sort of thing should I be looking for? And, when I find it, how do I make the actual changes?
