After almost 2 decades the Romhack project is finally finished as version 1.0. Project is called EarthBound Collection and consists of two Romhacks / Mods: 1. Beginnings Remake is the full remake with bugfixes and additional changes, while Giygas Strikes Back is the same project with the bugfixes only.

You can apply the patch directly on their website, by providing the original unpatched "EarthBound (USA).sfc" file. BTW the unpatched ROM can have different filename, check with the Inspector https://supremekirb.neocities.org/tools/rom_inspector your unpatched ROM to be sure. Nothing gets uploaded, the check and patch are done locally in your browser.

So Beginnings Remake is a remake of the NES game in a new engine and Giygas Strikes Back! is Earthbound US version with bug fixes?

If the NES game came first I should probably play that

The Romhacks are NOT for Mother 1 (which is known as EarthBound Beginnings on NES). They are Romhacks of Mother 2, also known as EarthBound on the Super Nintendo.

The Romhack is an attempt of Remaking the original Mother 1 on the Mother 2 engine. That is known as EarthBound Beginnings Remake. Then they offer a second Romhack, just called Giygas Strikes Back. If I understand it correctly, this is "just" EarthBound on the SNES with bug fixes. So they offer two Romhacks: 1) Remake of NES game, but on the Super Nintendo engine, 2) Bug fix of the EarthBound on Super Nintendo
