I checked out Black Matrix for a bit before I settled on ABXD (Nina). It's a nice and sleek, but simple theme. Very fitting for me. I'm a simple person.

Well, at least there's an endorsement from Nightcrawler. Here's to hoping this site becomes the new home for anything romhacking and translations.

Posted by jamesamong007
He should have never shut down the site in the first place he had no reason to. This forum is just a waste of time and space.

If I'm to understand what happened, I don't think there's any way Nightcrawler could keep the site up and running. It sucks that this is what it has come to, but there wasn't really anything else that could've been done. Between financial complications, and copyright being an issue, that "untrustworthy" group (using very loose quotes there) ended up being the final nail in the coffin. It's either this, or nothing at all.

I've been playing SM64 Co-op DX with my friends, just mostly goofing around and doing funny things like break some hacks wide open with Peach and Daisy, or use funny character mods like Neco Arc.

My next hack to play on SM64 Co-op DX is Super Mario 74. Can't wait to break that game wide open.

Honestly, I do like a lot of Gamma V's hacks, with the most recent one I've played being Super Luigi Land. I could only wish I was only a fraction of how good she is at her craft. I'd like to think I'm semi-ok at judging levels (been going through VLDC entries since VLDC12), but not so much at designing levels myself, haha.

I also heard Gamma is also currently at work on Super Luigi Land 2. Can't wait for that one.

I think this is a nice novelty that I feel most forums abandon nowadays due to fear of a lack of posting quality. But I think it's a novelty I like to see. I'm not active anymore for the aforementioned "Posting Syndrome++", so I'm in no rush to get some of the stuff I want. But I'm going to make it no secret in saying I want Marisa's Hat and Ruby Staff. :>

I do sometimes browse the web with my android phone sometimes when I'm nowhere close to my laptop, but I try not to write posts when I can afford not to. I have caveman fingers and I have the tendency to fat-finger my texts on my phone, so having to write an entire post with actual content in it on a mobile device is way too challenging for me to want to consider.

Some people are naturally good at that type of stuff. I, sadly, am not one of them.

I've always liked acmlmboards tbh. I'm a simple guy, and I like simple and effective. I used to frequent SMWCentral, so this board is almost like home to me in a way.

I know a friend of mine who would love a thread like this.

I do like bunnies too, though I'm more of a fox guy myself.

Now, she's not a straight bunny (more like a bunny girl, really), but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention a certain v-tuber, peko.

Hi. I'm Galeforce. A Caster class servant with a penchant for romhacks, both playing them and dabbling into editing them. (Though, haven't edited one to a serious extent.)

I used to frequent SMWCentral, but now I'm here. I used to romhack Super Mario World, and a little bit of Fire Emblem. My romhacking days have mostly been over though. I just don't have the free time nor motivation to dabble into the coding anymore. But I really do enjoy playing romhacks any chance I get. Right now, I'm just messing around in SM64 Coop DX with my friends and I hella do enjoy my time there.

Looking forward to seeing what I can find here.

I've never actually tried the Kiseki series, but they have always been on my "games to try out before I pass away" list. There's just a lot of colorful characters; some of whom I've been introduced to in other games via a collab event.

I am aware of the overall darker atmosphere the series has, but I've played games with a similar tone, so I'm well prepared. (Though, I may likely still be open to some surprises.) I just haven't had the opportunity to sit down and try a game out.

Any idea which game I should start with? Or are any of them a decent starting point?

I have to remind that while there are many games with a thriving romhacking community, there's equally as many games that aren't so lucky. Which is why it is especially important that there's a main hub that can give attention to these less fortunate games, because they have their own dedicated fanbase, no matter how big or how small they are.

I hope to see this site thrive, and carry on the legacy inherited from RHDN.

My gacha of choice had a few collabs and won't rerun the banner of the one I missed - and that was also my first peek into this series.

Let me take a wild guess. It's the same gacha I used to play.

Dear goodness. It took me about 30 minutes to log into the game, sit through updating it, sit through server updates, and sit through forced tutorials of content that was introduced while I was gone, and sit through all of the login rewards I've gotten for being gone so long, before finally getting this screenshot ready here. Damn, it's been a while since I last played.

I stopped playing this game, not because I don't enjoy it anymore, but because I simply lack the time to sink into these type of games. Between this one and FGO, I was sinking way too much time, and I had to make a difficult choice.

The first games in any of the arcs are good to start with (Sky FC, Zero, Cold Steel, or Daybreak.) How to decide - I would consider which scenario starting out appeals most to you... do you want to start out doing odd jobs helping people and slaying monsters as a young girl with a suddenly-adopted mysterious brother, as a new police recruit to a special task force, as a student in a military academy in a growing empire, or a self-employed mercenary who is initially a lone wolf? You'll be reading a lot in the beginning so it's important to choose something engaging. I started with Cold Steel 3 and didn't feel lost either, since 2 is wrapped up and 3 is starting on a fresh note despite being in the middle. Some of them pick up immediately off the end of the others, like CS4 and Reverie, and will be a mess to begin with, as you are not primed with context in any way that you will care about if you skip Erebonia and Crossbell games. There are frequent sales on Steam for Falcom games, so keep an eye out.

Sky FC is known for being slow-paced though ~40 hours, but would set you up to appreciate things chronologically, as the characters develop through the series and as the world changes. There are a lot of recurring characters, things that are consequences of established events, and recollections of established events throughout, and though each game provides you with a glossary to sum up the important things you will need to know, some things are sprinkled in as more of a surprise.

I'm no stranger to slow-paced games and games north of 40 hours of playtime. I do appreciate being told that context is likely important, so I do thank you for informing me before I end up starting out of order. I figured starting from the beginning of each arc would be best, but I figure I'd ask just to be sure.

As for the question at the outset, I think all of the scenarios do seem appealing. The first one especially interests me. If I were to guess, that's from Trails in the Sky, right? I am aware that a Switch remake is coming soon, however my hands are tied funds-wise due to ordering an Everdrive 64 X7 the other week (still waiting for it to arrive to this day) so it may be a while before I get my hands on it. I have no problem starting it on its original console release. If anything, it'll get my feet wet until I get my hands on the remake.

I do have an answer of which arc I might start with at least. It's just a matter of finding the right time to do it. (And actually remembering; I have a bad habit of saying these things and straight up forgetting about them the following day.)

Yes, I play Langrisser Mobile. I have an Altina in the low 9500s and Van at about 9200 but mostly use Altina since I play Meteor Strike. I gave her Gift of Eternal Life for off-healing since Nymph and Lisa are the only ones I have that can contribute better healing if I need more than GOEL Altina and Jugler to carry a party's health. If you're on the same server block as me (Mira Port/Cellier Lake/Dark Cave/2 others I am forgetting) then if you ever feel like going back, I have a guild you can join

I mostly main Empire/Princess, so Rozenciel is a must in whatever content I run through, no matter which faction I decide to run. Sometimes I pepper in Altina, even if I don't run Empire. I like her that much. Currently running Miracle Staff on her, i like the extra AOE + debuffs she provides, though GOEL does seem like a tempting option. ~~Wish I had more than just 2 of those. x.x~~ I'm under the Dark Cave server, so I'll consider the guild offer if I do return.

The scenario I am describing is in fact Trails in the Sky FC and you should be able to get it cheap on Steam - I will share when I see the next sale for it. It will likely go under $20 or $10 a few more times before the Switch remake is out. If you enjoy FC, you'll be prepared for the subsequent games also being increasingly longer too.

I might snag one off of Steam if my situation allows for it. I might have $20 to spare but it might end up getting used for food when a week gets tight. Either way, I'll keep an eye out.

Despite the fact that Nintendo got rid of the 3.5 mm jack from the GBA Sp, I prefer it to the original GBA.

Agreed 1000%. Not to mention, the original GBA felt very clunky, at least for my hands. It also wasn't good to carry around, either, and that's not even mentioning the lighting issues that came with it, forcing you to have a lighting accessory on you.

I also had the same gripes with the original DS, as well, though the original DS model solved the lighting issues the OG GBA model had.

I'm gonna be that person and say 'you really don't need third-party AV in this day and age'.

Windows Security and uBlock Origin in your browser of choice. That's literally it these days. If it was before 2019 or something then I might think otherwise.

I mostly just run that nowadays, plus some more protection just in case. Simple but effective.

Also, I've heard some... really shady things about Norton as of late, so I would never trust Norton, even if it's the only thing you'd have.

A lot of third-party AV solutions went down that route once Secure Boot started showing that the vast majority of intrusions anymore, these days anyways, are exclusive in Outlook and your browser. And in-browser crap is mostly scamware crap. The amount of scams and otherwise social engineering jobs increased exponentially following the death of master boot record viruses.

If you can't put a virus on a machine, pretend to. People that know no better will believe it and they do. Especially if you attach flashing lights, loud sounds and Microsoft [tm] to the scam and tell them if they don't call x phone number that they lose everything they never backed up. Very simple, very effective.

That's the vast majority of my 'malware' jobs these days.

That lines up with a lot of things I've been told, honestly, and I'm glad I never went down that route. I'm cynical by nature, so this does not surprise me. It does sadden me that, to this day, many people still fall for the same ol' trap, even if it's literally all the third party AVs really have left, in terms of retaining any kind of relevancy.

I might not be involved with people on a daily basis, but I have seen a lot of people in my almost-37 years, so I understand where you're coming from. People have enough things to be worried in their day to day, especially when it comes to work and finances, so being able to figure out things like how a computer operates would be kinda difficult to do.

That last part holds especially true. Even if we know a lot of things, there's still a lot of unknown left to discover. So we can't know truly everything.

I just started a co-op on Super Mario 74. Already blazed through the first 90 stars of that hack. Gonna finish the rest on the next time I arrange a play session with my friends. Can't wait to break Luminium-Sphere and Ombru-Sphere wide open, lol. Those 2 levels gave me fits when I first played.

Thank you Oz74. Because you reminded me to get on Langrisser Mobile, I've been back to playing it now. I've gotten off my lazy bum and did Time Rift 14-1 through 14-7. It was about time. I had long neglected those.

Also roided up my Altina too, so she's back to being top 10 overall power. ~~Not that this really matters, that's mostly just as a flex, lol.~~

I just finished Super Mario 74 on Co-op DX with my friends. Well, more or less finished. There's 2 overworld stars left and a star in Course 1 that I completely forgot about that I'll just finish offstream. Getting the hidden Star 151 was completely ridiculous, and Luminium-Sphere and Ombru-Sphere were so incredibly oppressive, that I felt justified in never finishing this game when it first came out. If I didnt have my friends as respawn points, I'm not sure I'd ever finish the hack. Having to die and start the level from scratch every single time doesn't sound like fun, especially when you have to do precise jumps to get to where you last were before.

If you haven't played Super Mario 74, and you plan on playing it, and you're at the skill level of an average SM64 player, then play it with save states. Save yourself the grief.

I'll be trying Mario Builder 64 next. My Everdrive 64 X7 just arrived, and I've been wanting to mess with that game for a bit for a while now.
