ROM Hacking

Download

After eight months of development, Pokemon White 2 ROM hack Blinding White 2 has been released. Going beyond what we usually see from fifth generation hacks, Blinding White 2 revamps the game with modern Pokemon, new item systems, a number of new rival fights, and a whole heap of quality of life updates. Trainers around the region will now sport much more varied teams to keep you on your toes, with a Hardcore mode available for people who really want to challenge themselves.

So maybe some of you have seen the recent ROM hack come out, by the developer of Pokémon Emerald Seaglass, called Pokémon Lazarus. This one has a far larger scale to everything, it's quite clear that it is a massive undertaking for a sole dev, and most of the community is loving it.

Well, some aren't behaving well. There's been some petty, disgusting feedback from a (as ever) vocal minority. Those who are homophobic, bigots, who are mocking design decisions and the sound (which Nemo, the dev, has created from scratch), some who hate seeing a pride flag.

Anyway, Nemo has decided after this bullshit to step back from the public and stop interacting. We've seen this again and again with developers. And it's getting SO damned exhausting:

With that said, I’ll be taking a step back from the community for a bit. I’ll post bug-fixing and new feature patches to the Development Discord server, but I don’t plan on posting anywhere else for a while. If I go on to develop a new project (which I do have planned!), it will likely be in secret until close to release, if I choose to release it at all. With everything going on in my life (Master’s program, work, real world commitments, etc etc), I guess I’m just not prepared to also handle the bad side of attention on the internet.

Anyway, if you'd like to read my article about the scene and this shitty news for Nemo, as every you can find the link to my post here!

Hornet from Hollow Knight, and of course, Silksong\
Fully featured with CS, including a custom needle attack, and air dash dive

Who needs Silksong when you have Mario 64?

Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash (2023) is an SMB1 hack that incorporates Celeste-styled gameplay with moons as collectibles.

It's a pretty popular romhack for Super Mario World that was released in 2021. I recently discovered that the dev made a full walkthrough with commentary about a year ago. It was really interesting for me to watch :) Link to the hack.

So recently had a hankering for some Pokémon hacks so booted up my old Pokémon Storm Silver ROM (using retroarch with Desmume as emulator).

I spun up a new game and played a bit, but it wouldn't let me save a new game since the ROM had my old save data. I decided to just save the game state with the built in retro arch save state functionality. So beat the champion using save states as alternative save feature with 60 hours on game clock (probably MUCH less due to my abuse of ffw feature).

But when you beat the champion, it dumps you back to the title screen. From there, I can only load my old data (since my current play isn't properly saved in the game data). As such, I can't play any of the post elite four content.

Anyone aware of a workaround where I can erase the games data from a save state? Kinda feels like I'm just SOL.

If I am, let this stand as a warning to other Pokémon fans. Always take the time to clear your old data!

We at Atelier Traduction and A Reyvateil's Melody are glad to present today the long-awaited release of our translation and enhancement patch for Ciel nosurge

Does anyone have opinions on Revelation vs Emerald Cross? Both are vanilla+ experiences of Pokémon Emerald for the GBA. They both look very good but I would like to enjoy the one that that is the better vanilla+ experience.

For comparison, I'm nearing beating the Pokemon league in Polished Crystal and absolutely love the game.

Galactic Federation outpost "Snowball" is a small outer rim ice-planet which contains a scientific research wing dedicated to examining the effects of the planet's extreme cold on the local fauna. Somewhere deep within the ice sheet is a facility of unknown origin.

Space Pirates have attacked the outpost and aim to locate the hidden facility to steal whatever may lie within.

You are a galactic Federation Marine and the only survivor of the Space Pirate attack. your mission is to locate and secure the research material.

The Hunter is busy on another mission and will not be providing assistance, pray she answers our distress calls before it's too late.

Remember Marine, you are not a Hunter. You will need to use every tool at your disposal to stand a chance against the Space Pirates.

Have you ever felt like some parts of Secret of Mana were a little rushed? Well, Secret of Mana Plus intends to correct it by adding new content to the original game.

Like most games for the Game Boy Advance, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga has a color palette which is overbright and washed out in order to be visible on the hardware. Which is a terrible shame, as the game certainly has a unique visual style which deserves to be more appreciated – even now, its graphics make it preferable by many to the remake. This patch attempts to correct some of those issues, as much as possible, with a vivid and crisp candy color palette.
