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
Well done, thanks I get it now
