Update: Sorry, I had the wrong download links pointing to Genesis hacks. I corrected this. Sorry for messing this up. Downloads are now correctly pointing to the SNES archive...

When the hell did they start updating the site database to include downloads of externally hosted patches?
That effectively means the site is back!
Why the fuck wasn't that posted about fucking anywhere?
All I can find is articles about the site going read only except for the forum and news posts back in August 2024. I used to check the site weekly, but stopped in September after none of the community made continuation projects seemed to be taking off.
I was surprised (and first confused) too and never saw anywhere anyone mentioning this. Maybe most people forgot about the site and was focused on the alternatives. I don't even know when they start doing this, not sure if they made a post about it in the first place.
Cheers. Rom hacks are like indie gaming lite. Some of them are great fun.
I consider them DLCs or updates. :D Some of them change up the original game so much and are developed with groups of people for years, that we can classify them as indie games. They just use tools and the engine of those old games and editors.
