Hi! Looking good and deeply nostalgic with the ACMLM board! :) Just mainly here to test stuff. So far everything I've tested seems to be working except for two things.

1. The download counters. They stay frozen on the same number, even after you download a hack.
2. The search function. Searching for "Amida's Curse" doesn't give any results, while searching for "Amida" does. The hack in question is called Zelda II - Amida's Curse.

As for suggestions. A really important addition would be to bring over the reviews from RHDN. They are essential to get an impression about a ROM hack. I really hope you manage to bring them over.

Is there a way to claim an author number? I'm number 745. I noticed my info is still stored on RHDN. Hopefully you can bring that over too.

Would be great if there would be many sorting functions. Like sorting on release date, amount of downloads, amount of reviews, alphabetical etc.

Huge thanks for all the work you've put in so far. I'll be checking this site from time to time!

Cool! Avatars are working too. And I see my name is coupled now to my ROM hack pages! Awesome stuff! Looking forward to future updates. Let me know if you need any help.

Two weeks ago I posted the Essential NES ROM hacks list on Reddit. Today it's time to give the Super Nintendo some well deserved love!

These are the Essential SNES ROM hacks to play. This list includes the best ROM hacks the community has created for Nintendo's classic super console!

Suggestions? Feel free to post them in the comments, but please keep it friendly! :-)

Find the list... here!

Ok Impala! is the name. Been creating ROM hacks since the early days. Most notable recent creations are:

Zelda II - Amida's Curse https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=6292
Super Mario Kart - Epic Racers https://neoromhacking.net/hackpage.php?id=5514

I'm currently working on Embers of Mana, a ROM hack of Final Fantasy Adventure (GB).

IMO you should post it here and not just a link to reddit.

But yeah, you seem to do these lists yearly and I always look forward to finding a few gems from them. Thanks for doing them. :P


I agree with your point, but it's caused by how the internet works these days. If I want this list to get any visibility I need to draw people to the Reddit post in the first 48 hours. Putting in all this work, only to see it immediately buried by the algorithm would be a shame.

Posted by kkzero
Looks like a pretty nice selection of stuff! Maybe this one's too oddball for the list, but probably the nearest and dearest SNES hack to my heart is Super Metroid Arcade


Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. Looks really good!


Posted by DarkBowser64
I'd like to put in a little suggestion for a personal strong favorite of mine...

That'd be Mario & Luigi: Kola Kingdom Quest, by Gamma V.


Same here! Love these suggestions. I never heard of this one before!

Embers of Mana



Embers of Mana will be a brand new Mana adventure for Gameboy. This Rom hack is based on Final Fantasy Adventure (also known as Mystic Quest or Seiken Densetsu). This will be an extensive ROM hack with a new world, new graphics, new music, new dungeons, new gameplay, new story, custom events and a full colorization.

Development on this hack is well underway. Planned release is at the end of 2025. I will use this topic to share progress and new screenshots. Would be great to discuss ideas with you all!

Changes:
- New overworld design
- New dungeon design
- New town design
- New story
- New graphics
- New soundtrack
- New partners
- Custom events
- New gameplay elements to make dungeons more interesting
- Focus on the fun of exploration

I just noticed it's not possible to have different font sizes, so you can't create a header in post, all text has the same size. Would be great if that could be added. Would make project threads a bit easier to read.

Same goes for scaling of images. I just shared some screenshots of my game. The board will only display its default size. Would be great if you could shrink images a bit with a simple bb tag.

By/Before the 20th; I know one site (that uses a fresh database) is launching the 20th, and I'm sure former-RHDN staff have their own plans that they're pursuing, so it really needs to be "launched" ASAP >_>


I hope all these new sites will converge in due time to one big hub of Romhacking again. For now, I have my hopes high NeoRomhacking will be just that place! Thanks for that! :)

Well if you posted this stuff here, RHDN, and reddit, you'd get appreciated from the respective communities, it's not a waste of your time... But it's kinda silly to have RHDN users go to reddit then back to RHDN for the links lol. ( karma points mean jack dude ;))

On a side note about RHDN links, there's a very good chance that come Aug 20th, every one of those links is going to need replacing as downloads will most likely not be working then.


Agree about the silliness. :eyeshift:. After the first weeks are gone, I'll be posting the complete list over here too. Maybe it can be a pinned post for a while. Or maybe it can be added to a special "featured" page?

About the breaking RHDN links. That's why I created downloads on my own website for now: https://www.okimpala.net/essential-snes-rom-hacks-of-all-time

I guess after the 20th I will change the links to NeoRomhacking.net :)

Just a small bug. But Ghost Town mentions a post by Special which can't be viewed by a normal user. Now it keeps saying there is a new message, while there isn't.



And another small one. Once I posted a thread under meta, I can't add a tag anymore. I forgot to add the tag "bug" to this thread, and now I can't anymore.

Nightcrawler just posted an update in the news section, mentioning some important things about future redirection of links. He also mentions NeoROMhacking.net as a viable alternative to RHDN.

Message starts here:

This is just a minor follow-up. Many people have contacted me in regards to hosting or taking the site. ROMhacking.net runs on top of my web backend platform that other projects and clients use. For obvious security reasons, this is not something that can be given away or taken. It contributes to my livelihood. After what happened, I am no longer in a position to support any partnership options. As previously mentioned, I’ve already provided the site database and files to the Internet Archive. New efforts by others will be required. Anyone can pick things up and continue. What’s there is far more than I had when I started! I’m sure there are some innovators out there that can do the job!

What I can still do is redirect sectional links from RHDN to a new site. This would allow for the existing RHDN links all over the web to continue to be valid, and presumably allow editing to continue at their new location. I saw the promising ‘NeoRHDN’ project by NinCollin on the forum. They have the right idea with an upstanding approach. I look forward to seeing how it develops as a possible option.

As a continued courtesy, the site and downloads will remain online. News is open for project releases and updates. The forum is open for active ROM hacking projects.

You should add Secret of Evermore Gameplay Balance by Ninakoru. Also your list has Secret of Evermore Faster Magic twice, the second one is after SD3.

Also LttP: Quick Commands is listed twice.


I think you mean the list on my website? I think you just visited when I was editing my website. :LOL: Should be ok now.

As for the balancing patch for SOE. I looked at it before, but there was a lot of criticism on that hack, so I found it hard to add it to an "essential" list.

I don't really see this series talked about much outside of specific circles, so I thought I'd make a thread for it. It's a long-running series of JRPGs by Falcom that started with Trails in the Sky back in 2004 (and is considered part of the Legend of Heroes series, though Trails has very much eclipsed Legend of Heroes by now). So far, there have been 13 games announced, 12 of which have released and 11 of which have been localized, with the next one scheduled to come out in Japan on September 26 and the next localized one in early 2025. So yeah, there's a LOT of content here.

I got into the series back at the beginning of 2015 when the first game was the only one that had been translated, and I kind of fell in love with it. Heck, that's where my avatar comes from. Even my least favorite games in the series are still good, though I'll admit that at the time I discovered it, I would have taken just about any RPG that had turn-based battles (no, ATB doesn't count) and no random encounters. Things like the positioning-based battle system and the orbments add some interesting new twists to it, and the series has extensive lore, with a lot of backstory and characters. None of the games individually is my favorite RPG outright (that honor goes to Radiant Historia), but it's definitely my favorite RPG series (the only other one that would come anywhere near it is Mario & Luigi).


Love this series, and love Radiant Historia too btw, don't hear many people talking about that one!

But returning to Trails. I played Trails in the Sky about 10 years ago and instantly loved it. This year I played Trails from Zero on Switch. Awesome title. Can't wait to play Trails to Azure soon! I tend to favor the older games. Also played Cold Steel 1 for a while but couldn't get into it. I might give a second try later on though.
