Romhacking websites?
>RHDN: general romhacking library
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks
>Zophar's Domain
https://www.zophar.net/

Due to RHDN's moderation recent actions, they've been losing/Voldemort-ing many big names, including their top two contributors.
You'd do well to diversify your sources to get up to date with the scene.
Twitter is good for following prolific translators.
>@ElCaminoOscuro @Zynk_Oxhyde @MrRichard999
>@RetroTranslator @DDSTranslation @REBehindtheMask
Some romhackers will be active through personal websites (dynamic-designs) or Discord servers... or Tumblr.

Want to make romhacks?
>Hex Editor
Can help edit text, analyze data (pointers, data structures, compression, sound...)
>Relative Search Tool
Figure out text encoded in non-standard formats (.TBL files)
>Tile Editor
Interprets the ROM as editable graphical data.
>Disassembler / Assembler / CPU ASM docs / Console hardware docs
Interprets the ROM as programming data (how the game behaves) either while it works (part of debugger emulator) or outside of it (static disassemblers like IDA Pro, etc). Assemblers convert your replacement code back to the ROM.
>Script Dumpers / Insertors
Help edit massive text data quickly and adapt their starting positions (pointers), essential for translation projects. You can write your own or reuse existing scripts (Atlus/Cartographer/Kruptar7). A similar concept exists for data structures (QuickBMS)

Let's talk retro handheld gaming. What do you have and how do you like it? Are you planning on buying one soon? Do you need help?

Be aware of hardware revisions/upgrades and rebranded versions with different colors/features. Be sure to read some reviews before buying, some of these are great, others leave a lot of be desired. Look for a local distributor to potentially save on taxes and shipping.

>10th Anniversary

someone actually spent 10 years of their life making these.

>I am asking the community for help here. There are two choices as far as where this hack can go.

>1) Traditional Bigger Badder Better Super Mario Bros. 3 hack that will beat the tar out of NHMFTDN2 in terms of offensive content but does not innovate. It would take the same approach as the first two hacks in that I wont give a fuck and will just vandalize the livong shit out of everything. Each Koopa Kid would be adapted into a celebrity penis that I mighy just get the community involved in designing a la megaman where I give the name and you guys could maybe draw it out to be converted into NES graphics. Dick #7 would be Hitlers Dick and the final boss would be someone that if you pay attention has been forshadowed a couple times already.

>2) MGS3 style prequel starring Hitlers Dick that would go into detail about why he exists and what his first mission as a Dick Nazi was. It would be a radical departure from the other two games just like MGS3 was to 1 and 2 and would also be a hack of a souped up less shitty version of Rambo. Rambo has lots of text so theres plenty of opportunity for wierd bullshit.

>MGS3 style prequel

How is this even a thing still?
