[iPlayGames4FUN !!RruZVQu8DrN No.500860]

Not only am I in the mindset to try romhacks, but I keep seeing threads about anons asking them. So, figured I'd make a thread about them.

Post any/all info you have about retro game romhacks here. Download locations, best em to use, reviews/thoughts/feelings, tips/tricks: any and all info you can supply about good romhacks.

Emphasis on where you find the one you suggest, please. Kindly. Thank you.

I just finished Metroid + Saving, basically it lets you use battery saves in place of passwords, and has a functional map system when you pause. It also combines the wave and ice beams which is kinda cheaty but that's not why I used it.

First time playing Metroid, it's a decent enough game but some rooms are a pain, lots of empty spaces and such. I got the second best ending (sub 3-hours)

[Anonymous No.501038]

*Plus a map and the beam thing.

LoZ's Parallel Remodel was great since I'm not exactly great at math and wanted to play Parallel Worlds.

Also >>500948 Sonic 2 XL and Megamix are the best ones out of that. VR is fun too, and I liked The S Factor but kept getting knocked inside the map walls and had to reset.

[Anonymous No.504461]

For those who feel confident about their Zelda 2 skills you can try Journey of a Day, which spices things up with lotsa backtracking (so gameovers can actually be convenient sometimes), secret paths on the overworld and nicely redesigned palaces. Magic cost and some magic effects have been altered (like Life being very cheap but only recovers 1 square and Jump not being as wonky).

Due to the world being so open and the back and forth gameplay it can be confusing but there is a walk through on YT if you get stuck. There are other hacks by the same author but I think this is the most accessible of the bunch.

Sonic CD with a better spindash and the homing attack. Excellent for people who just want to GO FAST!
>Sonic Classic Heroes
It's pretty much that Sonic 1 & 2 hack except you play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles simultaneously ala Sonic Heroes. Also has 3 player co-op.
>Sonic 1: Omochao Edition
Play it for yourself.
>OMG THE RED RINGS
Sonic 1 with tons of red rings all over the levels that insta kill you if touch them. Very challenging.

This is unfinished and most likely never will be finished as it hasn't gotten an update since 2008, but the first zone is playable and it is pure eye candy.

Actually it is pretty mediocre compared to stuff like Megamix or anything Markey Jester does. I'm in that hacking middle ground where I am above all those palette hacks with badly connected layouts or a stolen jump dash/homing attack. I do all my own art, but I am mostly terrible at it.

>LoZ's Parallel Remodel

Remodel was total shit. I can understand them wanting to fix PW's difficulty (which was at a pretty "antifun" level in my opinion), but Remodel does an awful job of it. In the first pendant dungeon, for example, they removed an entire section of the dungeon, and removed all puzzles and enemies. It was just a straight walkthrough a mostly empty pathway to get to the boss room.

Don't know what they were thinking.

[Anonymous No.511458]

I have a very specific request. I would like to know what the best SNES romhacks are which are 2 MB or less. The reason is because I would like to play them on my SNES using an old backup loader with only 2 MB RAM that loads games from floppies. I've gotten Zelda - Parallel Worlds to work but I would like more, especially ones that are less than 1.44 MB.

[Anonymous No.511478]

Hey op, can you give me a link to that hack in your image?

[Anonymous No.511503]

with one of those could I plug a j-cart into the top and run a translation patch off a floppy?

[Anonymous No.511512]

Nah I keep my translation hacks in a separate folder, and I only have one PC-Engine ROM hack at the moment.
A hack of Spatterhouse called "Splatterhouse Chrome," I've never really tried it out however.

[Anonymous No.511563]

>>511503
You can't patch a game on the fly, but you can use it to extract the ROM yourself, patch it on your PC and put the patched game back on the floppy.

You can run any ROM as long as the game didn't use any special chips and is smaller than however much RAM your unit has. Mine has 16 Mb (2 MB), so I can stretch a game across two floppies if it's bigger than 1.44 MB but less than 2. It will fit in any region SNES and accept a cartridge from any region.

Probably better to get a flashcart, unless you can find a backup loader with 32Mb or more RAM. I paid around $40 shipped for the Super Wild Card.

If you really wanted to (and had the skills/equipment), you could flash the ROM in your Japanese carts to English versions. If you don't know how to do it yourself there are people on the internet who will do it for a fee.

It might have some minor inaccuracies I didn't notice in my brief test, but it seemed to play fine.

I'd recommend the Everdrive. Solid piece of hardware that's getting constant updates. PowerPak supports most games, a few more than Everdrive right now, but uses Compact Flash, and isn't updated any more. Plus Krikzz has a great track record for support, versus the PowerPak guy who can take literal months to reply to emails, and twice as long then to help you or send out a replacement, if he even decides you're worth that much effort.

I had this idea for a Mega Man hack for a while but I don't know a thing about hacking NES games. When it comes to emulating NES games is there a size limit? Like if a rom is too big it can't be emulated? My idea would probably work better as a fan game.

I know it's been around the thread since the beginning, but I can't recommend Rockman 4 Minus Infinity enough

I just played half of it yesterday thanks to this thread, and it's amazing. It's as much as a new game, and as much fan service, as a hack game can be.
It's more difficult than the original game, but it's also more generous with items (you even starting off with R.Search, which is actually really useful), and the weapons are better too. It has that just-right balance between weapon usability and stage difficulty that made Mega Man 9 one of the (or THE) best classic Mega Man.

Like Mega Man? Stop what you're doing and play R4:MI. Thanks this thread later.

Not overly difficult if you have some soldering skills and can follow a guide. You'd have to spend a fair amount on an EPROM programmer that's even halfway reliable, though, and if the game uses any of the add-on chips it can be a bit more involved. If it's only a few you want, you can likely find a reproduction service that'll do it for you for less than it'd cost to do so yourself. I know of one or two that'll do most games for $20-$25 each if you provide a donor cart.

Oh weird, like a Sonic game where 'rooms' were small segments of level that you moved around in and fought enemies or talked to characters?

ie. Like a space the size of the Casino Night Zeon boss fight is a 'room' and you build as much level as possible in it, while also giving you different enemies to fight and perhaps even having abilities that you learn or something?

For my latest playthrough of FF6 I decided to patch FF6 Is The Best Game ever to the ROM. Excellently-done difficulty hack. It's the same game as the orignal, just harder.

I never have to grind. Some parts are incredibly hard but everything is doable if you plan your equipment, stats, items and HP/MP carefully. You really have to use everything at your disposal to win. Running, rows, and items are all essential parts of battle, whereas all this shit is just an afterthought in the original.

I'm always a bit curious to ask this, but is that what makes RPGs tough, the planning aspect? As one who has always been more interested in action games, I have always found player skill and performance to be the requirements of a 'true' hard game. Perhaps there are more definitions though? I am playing SMT Strange Journey right now, for example, and while the game I think rewards that kind of planning (like figuring to use ice attacks against a boss who has fire reflection) I can't honestly say it seems 'hard' to me, it's just good logical thinking that wins you the battle.

This is one reason why I don't venture out too far into the Pokemon hacks.

[AC No.531951]

I'll try to sum up the pre-patched stuff shared up to this point before it's too late...

After I shared the little collection I had prior to this thread... >>505410 ...
... this guy >>510383 included most of it on his own collection and uploaded it.
... then, a bunch of Mario World hacks were shared by this guy here http://www.mediafire.com/?831iidazfebdhau (I haven't checked it 100%, but I think there's a lot of stuff there that wasn't included yet in the Mega Folder)

And above all, there's the Mega folder >>509996 (which I wish ends up including everything we've uploaded separately, because it's so neatly organized! So we can have a single huge /vr/ romhack collection to share on future threads. I can see this becoming a usual thing on this board)

Also, I'd like to request for pre-patched Metroid Zero Mission (Super Metroid hack). I've been expecting that one, and I haven't seen it here yet.

[Anonymous No.532036]

>>531835
Audio hacks for SMW used to use a method that only worked when the roms were emulated with Zsnes, which was the most popular/best snes emulator out when the hacks were made. It has since been found that this functionality isn't accurate to the actual SNES at all, so most modern emulators don't support it.

Frankly, you're lucky that those hacks even work at all on Snes9x GX for Wii. If you're having issues, try them on PC with BZsnes or on plain old zsnes.

If your computer supports bluetooth there's a program you can find that lets you use your wiimote+accessories as gamepads.

Alright, while I didn't find that exact modification, I did find a different IPS patch that changes (at least) the first level. Also, Whispy Woods is damn tough it seems.

Links that led to me finding it:

http://tekitoobox.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-232.html
^Blog post that initially posted the video, there's a comment here that states something about modifying Kirby Superstar and gives a link.

http://noimage.nobody.jp/
^Has the IPS patch, and a level editor from what I've gathered, along with some lua scripts that probably go with said editor.

I've uploaded a patched ROM to my ROM Hacks folder, here's a more direct link to it though:
https://mega.co.nz/#!olohWBbR!OjqBrxhojT-0XG99QN-E3QC_qzsGacmZg_X7-2hD19A

I also went and combined the editor and the lua scripts, also to properly run the editor you need to have something like AppLocale and a copy of the ROM in SMC format.

>AutoKirby
Changes up first level of Spring Breeze to make it into a level that completes itself.
>Boss Tower
Replaces Spring Breeze with a giant tower filled with nothing but bosses! Can you beat them all?
>The Great Puzzle Offensive
"Puzzle" was the name of the IPS patch so I worked it into a name, replaces The Great Cave Offensive with a main hub thing with several doors, each one leads to at least one treasure and you need to figure out how to get to it. Though from my limited experience playing it, many look like they're guarded with bosses, oh also when you go back to the main hub area your skill is cleared (well replaced with that "Sleeping skill"). So you need to take on each challenge with regular Kirby!

> Zelda classic

I tried that program once a few years ago. It was going to be a class-based game that spanned four overworld maps with multiple underground passage layers, and huge dungeons that filled the entire dungeon space allowed, with most of that space being simple exploration that lacked any monsters.

The plan was each "class" would only get a small set out of all the items, and often the only way to get an item was to start with it (the Mage gets the best mana regen ring; Rogue gets the largest Bomb bag; Archer gets largest Quiver; Fighter gets largest Wallet. shit like that.) and that this would limit their ability to solve puzzles, fight enemies, or explore the map; if the player couldn't find the secret passages or hidden non-starter items.

Then the fucking hard drive got killed from old age and took the work with it. Kind of killed my desire for large projects of anything.

[Anonymous No.538570]

What's Zelda Classic like? Is it for editing roms easily or is it an independant program? Can you put games for download on the internet?

It's a fan-made engine for recreating Zelda 1 on the computer. Editor exists that allows tile editing for custom room building, plus people have found hacking methods to do all manner of things. There are lush new worlds built inside ZC using custom graphics and all kinds of stuff, and some games are even Mario or Megaman games somehow made as 2D games inside a Zelda 1 clone.

I never learned much in-depth how to use it, but it's really fascinating the amount of stuff people pull off in it. You should check it out if you want a Zelda game to play.

Another anon here, the guy is right though, some SMW hacks only working on zsnes due to the way zsnes handles the way IPS patching.

Certain translation patches/SMW modifcations won't show up properly due to the way snes9x translates the patching done to the rom.

Hell, I'm on my new gaming rig now and I still don't know what snes emulator to uses this day and age, I'd love to do some netplay or something but it seems like no one works on snes emulators anymore and the only ones I know are outdated as fuck. I feel like I've outgrown most snes/nintendo franchises but I'd love to play LTTP again and super metroid/super metroid redesign.

So, could you maybe recommend a good snes emulator for me if you could? Just wondering and I only wanted to share my two cents on the SMW zsnes problem since I used to do plenty of SMW mods back in the day with lunar magic and I remember doing sonic asm mods too, I made some good ass hacks and plenty artwork to put it.

Maybe I should do some now since my art skill has gone up pretty damn good and I could make some original art work among other shit. If you don't feel like recommending an emulator its fine, I'm assuming you guys don't like using those sort of things anyway.

Thanks in advanced.

[Anonymous No.555216]

>>555008
bsnes isn't bloated (never really heard that it was), it's just an emulator that strives to be an actual accurate SNES emulator and because of that you need a pretty good computer to run the "accurate" build of it.

And RetroArch is like a modular emulator program, on it's own it doesn't play anything, but there's cores you can get that can let you play games.

Screenshot will show the cores that are out there right now, and due to it being modular and all that, RetroArch can be easily compiled for other systems.

Description: Basically, it rebalances everything in Grandia. Buffed/nerfed skills, magic is much much more precious due to higher MP costs, rebalanced characters (Liete has the best overall defenses of anyone at the end), new items/magic, and so on.

Oh yeah...the difficulty is tweaked. Grandia has always been a stupidly easy series in most cases due to recovery points and a large portion of the enemies (and some bosses too) basically not being any threats whatsoever.

Pros:
>Interesting sonic hack if you've been initiated into other forms of Sonic entertainment than the Genesis games, and the starring characters are well done.
>Fake Speed Sneakers are an interesting trap to look out for as it's almost too easy to accidentally hit the right box, but it's not too frustrating at the same time because the time is mercifully short.

Cons:
>Scourge seems to be a last-minute addition that wasn't fully thought out... he's more of a recolor of typical Sonic than anything, a lot of levels are evidently not quite made for his speed outside Chaotic Street, and you can more easily than most hacks get yourself into trouble thanks to it.
>Lightning Shield is almost OP.
>The maps can sometimes seem way too similar to the originals, and the Placid Sapphire boss is even just Labrynth minus Robotnik. Which is a real shame after the first zone's boss was actually really neat.

IMHO Yet Another Fire Red Hack far and away takes the spot away from FRO for a new experience of FR. Somehow it just feels perfect while being heavily modified (while the region itself was untouched) at the same time.

That is extremely rare in the GBA hacks, kind of testifies to the average quality of the lot but eh.

>>582841
I guess since we're talking FR now: I played Dark Rising once. I wanted to kill myself after playing it. It's that awful, and I don't know why people keep praising it.

Now for a GOOD hack, I've been playing Sonic 2 Retro Remix. This was a fun experience that's a little unlike the other sonic hacks I've come across, because instead of straight playing the game it's more of a collecting game. That's not to say you can't speed through the levels at all; you actually get awarded for beating a time and score, just in places of every level there are emeralds to collect, sort of similar to stars in Mario64. I also really enjoyed the implementation of nearly all of the moves from Sonic's other 2D games from beyond the Genesis. The spring tricks, wall jump, and homing attack all get a hell of a lot more use than others and are definitely not just some tacked on shit because they like the 3D games like some editions do.

It's also extremely hard to get everything, good luck and get frustrated.

Looks too modern to me. More like Unleashed than the Genesis games (which are superior IMO).

Also, did I see in the trailer three loops in a row with no hills or anything between them? That kind of level design is never good in Sonic, classic or otherwise.

That's not true, Sonic 2 had speedboosts but there were limited to certain levels, such as Chemical Plant zone, and they looked different.

The speed boosts commonly used come from Sonic CD though.

The only time I've ever seen that actually work was in Erazor, and it was because random dramatic intro for fun that had nothing to do with gameplay of the level.

Oh I forgot about those, but those are a bit more a hindrance than help.

Also, I'm not sure if 4chan does archives anymore, but if anyone ould care to find out and, if so, get some votes going, I think it'd be very useful. There's a TON of great info in this thread that needs to be saved, especially since we're gonna have multiple threads. Thanks again, I'm off to work for awhile.

Ignore him, he's one of those faggots who get pissy over filenames. HE however can go back to Nexus Mods, where they get aggressive over file locations.

Yes, really.
