Best Rom Hacks?
-
I'm mostly into translations of existing US games or ones that I never heard of from Japan. Sorting these roms out over the past few years, I've found a few good ones:
Castlevania 3 Re-translation using the uncensored japanese version with the extra sound channels and crosses/religious stuff. The music sounds even better.
Actraiser Re-translation using the uncensored japanese version that's much harder. It's a more accurate translation with the religious stuff put back in like being referred to as Lord and Holy, and your main enemy called Satan.
Ganpuru: Gunman's Proof A translated game that's basically a cowboy version of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
Holy Diver A translation. I recently found out about this game. It's a game similar to castlevania and metroid with a lot of metal references. The name of the game, the main character called Randy (Rhoads) and his father called Ronnie (James Dio)
I hope someone eventually translates the SNES Goemon games. They look really fun but I feel like I'll lose a bunch of the fun by not being able to read the text.

There's a new NBA Jams hack and it's fantastic. Def worth trying.

Anyone had success with the MSU-1 SNES upgrades on the Pi?

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 .

Mega Man In Mushroom Kingdom
Super Mario Star Road (N64)

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.
-
@quicksilver Oh sorry, you are right. I will do this later.

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:

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?
-
@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
