Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

My personal collection of Master System Romhacks, in an already patched and ready to play ROM format. Most games are patched by myself, but not all are tested. Each .sms file comes with a text description, copied from the places where I downloaded the Romhacks (but sometimes also from README files, random blogs and other websites too).

110 Romhacks across 53 different games (or across 52 games, depending on how you process data and count).
Download one package size: 9.7 MB

I want to highlight a few mods (because this question will come up eventually :-) ):

Alex Kidd in Miracle World_

Snappy Snorg and the Seven Silver Stones: Total conversion with different graphics and gameplay, including puzzles. High quality.
Octo Unleashed: Impressive conversion with good graphics and atmosphere.
Stella in Adventure World: A more traditional style of gameplay with new character, story and level designs.
Voyage - A Sorceress Vacation: Total conversion with new gameplay, character, graphics and story.

Sonic_

Boxguy Adventure 2: Part of a multiplatform series. Play as a new character within its own levels structures.
NC Revision: Keeps main game intact, but updates graphics to very beautiful style. Other improvements in gameplay and miscellaneous alterations are made as well.

Sonic 2_

Frenzy: 7 zones with secrets and alternate paths, making up to 21 levels. Further some changes to graphics and musics as well.
Zen Island: Main game stays intact, but with changes to graphics palette, music and and a little bit on gameplay.

Phantasy Star_

Makeover: Redesigns graphics (including Character Sprites Improvement hack) inspired by graphics from PlayStation 2 Phantasy Star Generation 1.
Easy Patches (Double Meseta and XP): Collection of patches to reduce the grind. Simply double the money and xp earned from battles.

Super Boy 4_

(Note, Super Boy 4 is an unlicensed game in Korea that is a bad knock-off clone of Super Mario games. It has this uncanny effect of Mario games, but just in bad and wrong.)

Individuality Improvement: Changes the graphics to something new and unique, getting rid of or the Super Mario aesthetics. Or makes changes so it looks a bit more unique than before.

Wonder Boy 5 Monster World (E)_

Sram Pad Enhancement Hack: Adds a save function so you don't need to use passwords (or save states). Coloring are also adjusted, as the original colors can be ugly.
