      Awesome! Do you know more good hacks for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars? (Axem Rangers does not look SO promising)

          I would highly recommend Final Fantasy VI - Ted Woolsey Uncensored Edition

                I played "SFACTOR Sonia and Silver" last night, and it was hard, and fun. I actually enjoyed it enough to say I will play it again .

                    Old thread, but the topic never gets old. Here are some of my selection of homebrew and mods. Not all are good and will be probably deleted, but current list is following:

                    Mods and Hacks

                    • Chorus of Mysteries / based on Castlevania 1(NES)
                    • Mario Adventure / based on Mario 3 (NES)
                    • Super Mario Unlimited / based on Mario 1 (NES)
                    • Zelda Outlands / based on Zelda 1(NES)
                    • Conkers High Rule Tail / based on Zelda 3 (SNES)
                    • Hyper Metroid / based on Metroid 3 (SNES)
                    • Parallel Worlds / based on Zelda 3 (SNES)
                    • Radiation's Halloween / based on Earthbound (SNES) -- Note: This one is from famous Toby Fox, who created Undertale!
                    • Super Zero Mission / based on Metroid 3 (SNES)

                    Homebrew

                    • Alter Ego (NES) -- Note: My favorite homebrew game.
                    • Blade Buster (NES)
                    • Inversion (NES)
                    • Life (NES)
                    • SAF Hardware (SNES)
                    • Super Boss Gaiden (SNES)

                    The only drawback is, I don't have any scrape data for those, no videos.

                      While testing the games again for this list, I found out some are broken now. I don't know why. I thought its the emulator I changed a while back, but after changing it back, they still don't work. Any idea?

                        @thelostsoul It may be best to open a new help/support thread. Also will need more info on which games/emulator you are using specifically.

                            I am still searching for rom hacks and homebrew and found some truly awesome hacks! I can't believe it! In example a Super Mario World (1) hack, which lets you play Yoshi like in Yoshis Island, with awesome egg throwing mechanics and such! And the music and graphics are fantastic. Same for the Wario hack, with his dash attack. Here we go:

                            Mods and Hacks

                            • 100 Rooms of Enemies (Arcade) / based on Mario World (SNES)

                            • Super Mario Bros 3 Mix / based on Mario 3 (NES) -- Note: Starts boring and gets better.
                            • Super Mario Ultimate / based on Mario 3 (NES)
                            • Burst Chaser X Air Sliding / based on Mega Man 4 (NES)

                                I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but Goldfinger 64 (N64) is really cool. Its a little much for the pi though. It even has its on custom box art:

                                  I don't think this topic should ever die. ROM hacking is contently evolving, so there will always be new and interesting ROM hacks to try out and play.
                                  That being said, here are some more hacks!
                                  I haven't fully play them yet, but I suggest them based off what I have heard and I really liked what did play.
                                  The S Factor Sonia and Silver / based on Sonic the Hedgehog (MD/Geneses)
                                  Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog / based on Sonic the Hedgehog (MD/Genesis)
                                  Super Mario Bros. 3 Mix / based on Super Mario Bros.3 (NES)
                                  Dragoon X Omega - Gold Edition / based off Dragon Warrior (NES) - Could be considered home-brew that used Dragon Warrior as the starting point.

                                    I'm looking for a good Rom Hack for Super Mario World. I see there are a ton listed on romhacking.com. Does anyone have a recommendation?

                                    4B ~ RPi PSU 5.1V / 3.0A ~ 32GB SanDisk microSD ~ 128GB USB

                                      @hooperre Look at my list above. There are some good ones. What type of hack are you searching? Hardcore levels? Cool looking graphics? Interesting level design or a complete rechange game?

                                      In my list games with the note / based on Mario World

                                        @thelostsoul Whoops. Thanks. I would say interesting level design or cool graphics I suppose.

                                            @hooperre Super Mario World: Return To Dinosaur Land Series is pretty good. It basically a SMW Expansion with new levels that isn't ball busting hard like most SMW hacks. Actually has a learning curve with only once level that required save states for nearly perfect jumps.
