>page 7 already>All the tranny smith shitpostsWhy even bother with these things, you have sickfuck tranny smith making retarded SOTN fake GameMaker mockups and cringe YOUR FAVORITE ANIMU GAME AS AN N64! And going No U at anyone painting out his bullshit, /vr/ is in a perpetual state of sadness and filth.
what's a tranny smith and why does this guy keep bringing it up?
>>12525519The guy is ponting out that the /vr/ mod is the one behind all the retardation and stupid low effort bait posts along with it's indian bots as well of being an abusive censorious faggot, and it's been heavily speculated that he is indeed an angeniophioiac, and during the hack of 4chan last year ot so, I don't remember, it was exposed that a lot of the site's jannies and mods were really into diaper furry and we're into sissyfication and fucking themselves up with HRT because of the trans trend, and of course they are heavily liberal leaning, they will ban you or warn you to bully you if you point that something is wrongThat's the reason, and it ain't just one guy pointing out tranny smith, it used to be called "Kevin Smith' for all the spammy threads like when that shitty MK ROM bundle got released that upscaled assets with horrid AI and there were at least 12 MK related threads just to spam.Things like that are why this is a zombie site.
>>12523632The AI Mario sprite in the thumbnail looks like it's from Dorkly.
Bump>>12525495I feel this general would be better if more anons showcased development of their Romhacks here, like that anon that was making that SNES SimCity mouse support hack. However, I'm pretty sure most of them would prefer to instead showcase their development on Romhacking forums instead, plus I'm also guessing the 4chan hack from a year ago drove away many anons, except the ones that keep filling /vr/ with their boring and predictable forced memes.
>>12527026A part of the reason you rarely see that is people don't want to be associated with this website. If you post progress updates to this thread, your project and whatever pseudonym you publish it under will be permanently linked to 4chan. To anyone who cares about their image on the mainstream internet, that's asking for trouble. Conversely, repeatedly posting status updates on the same project is a form of avatarfagging. That defeats the point of posting to an anonymous website.Personally, I don't see the point in posting status updates for any project anywhere unless the project is either finished and I'm releasing it, or I've reached the point where I need external assistance and I need to post about it to recruit help. Looking for help on 4chan is a clown idea, and I'm not interested in self promoting releases on every platform under the sun, so there's really no reason for me to post about my projects here.
>>12527189Remember when 4chan tried (and failed) to make a MegaMan fangame called MegaMan VR and that imploded cause people just quitted and gave up, I used to be part of that team, helping with graphics and we were building our own engine from scratch and someone was making a level editor for it, music even......And then people just quitted.....
>>12527310There's also that Legend of the River King 2 SFC translation /vr/ started and never finished. 4chan just isn't very condusive to collaborative work.
>>12527189>>12527310>>12527353Weird, didn't have that issue when me and a few others from /vrpg/ did a fan translation of a game and things worked out just fine.
>>12527389Which game? Because the main running theme for 4chan collabs failing is when the project leaders give poor directions or straight up ghost everyone. That happened with the old /vrpg/ collab. If you want to complete a project you have to actually commit to it and give some basic guidance like with Super Mario /v/orld.
>>12527353>4chan just isn't very condusive to collaborative work.Katawa Shoujo wahahas in your face
What really good romhacks have came out recently, like, really super amazing ones?
>>12527310That would be good, someone makes some sprite tiles, someone programs that physics and other bits are split up. I'd like to get comfortable doing 4 way scrolling before doing that. If 10 people put in it would be really good for either sms, nes, gb, 2600, 7800, Speccy, C64 or similar.>>12528097R-Type on MSX 2 with smooth scrolling. SegaGaga a couple of weeks ago.
would you get in shit if you disassembled and tried to port an abandonware Win95 game to bring it up to date, maybe make it 64-bit, multi-core, Vulkan, etc and maybe get it working on Linux?game is Hardwarit's in legal limbo, afaicthas anyone tried something like this with a very old game, I guess you could pretend you did a clean room implementation because who the fuck would check?especially given it's in legal limbo?I get why people may DMCA newer games or more popular games, but somehow must have tried testing the water on some more obscure games?
someone asking what tranny smith is is objectively hilarious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fhyYA3kC0w
>>12528915>would you get in shitI doubt it. There's a lot of game disassembly, decompilation and port projects on the web, many of which are for more popular games and most of them have not been taken down.
>>12529072yeah this was my suspicion. pretty sure there must be some game devs of retro games that are quietly happy at gamers still playing their works 20 years later.
>>12528917As if it ain't accurate.
>>12528917sorry I don't spend all my time on /vr/ in order to know all the newest hip slang the second it gets pushed
I had a vision for MMBN7 once>Lan's son Patch is a bully at school because his dad is a big shot and they're rich so he treats others poorly.>Realizes he's lonely. Even young teacher Cial or classmates Ciel depended which version, saw him having issues>Asks dad for his custom Navi.>Lan punishes Patch by giving X and Vile to his soon to be rival.>Patch gets depressed, feels betrayed etc.>Lan gives him Zero.exe instead. A virus turned navi in a reformatting experiment to try and solve the virus issues.>Patch and Zero.exe are both treated with mistrust. Other navis don't trust Zero because he was a virus.>Slowly learn to redeem themselves and save the world.>Megaman Battle Network Z (the 7 is inside the Z in the logo)
Its happening!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdVwgStrCo8
>>12530259>Megaman Battle Network Z (the 7 is inside the Z in the logo)might have to see a doctor because I just felt an uncontrollable urge to bend at the knee

>>12530259Oh hey I remember that post from /v/.Everyone rightfully shit on it.
>>12530265>>12530790>I am just goofin around!, I am just goofin around!NONE of these will EVER becoming a thing, this is just retards and losers toying around to see what they can do and how far they can get, then they had to come back to reality and be adults or get depressed so they become the Never Wussies that never will.Its always the same thing, lack of commitment, also SNES cannot handle that many sprites and animations of just even those 2 characters without crapping out, look at how gimped and crappy the Takara/Saurus ports of early SNK fighters were.
>>12530259I like this concept, ngl
Semi-related but actually not a mock-up, its a PC game but its a remaster of the Megaman Xtreme games from GBC but better.https://tomycase.itch.io/megaman-dxtreme
>>12531542That's called a remake.
>>12531547Its a remake of a demake.>Clickteam FusionOh goodie, i suffer from input lag on teh action buttons, specially jumping, i use a wired ELECOM usb adapter and a wii classic controller, and it plasy like shit.

>>12530259Oh hey I remember that post from /MM:BN&SF/ general.Everyone rightfully praise the idea.
>>12530259BN1 open world remake on RE Engine.What if Capcom do hypothetical Transmission 2–style sequel/remake of Mega Man Star Force on the Nintendo Wii, featuring Hope Stelar as a playable protagonist fused with Virgo, plus Tia with her own Wizard, codename s‑Iris. This like a serious design pitch like refined story, mechanics, character arcs, and how it fits the Star Force universe.

>>12534436What's your issue with nitter?
>>12535036Nitter, the software and the main instance of it, is okay. xcancel is bad.
>>12535106works on my machine
>>12535106Explain.
I for one welcome the new age of hacks that once again only work on ZSNES.Except I guess they wouldn't really be hacks.
>>12535437Firstly, the website forces browser verifications on entering it, unlike nitter, which simply displays the post.Secondly, "cancelling X" is what seething Bluesky lefties want to do because Musk took over tilted the platform to something more of a plurality. Nitter is a neutral name.
>>12535443You sound schizophrenic.
>>12535483Even if you don't care about the political slapfight, nitter's default instance not performing browser checks is a legit reason to prefer it.
>>12535492I don't prefer any instance, and use a plugin to select a random one whenever a xitter link is clicked, because any one instance cannot and will not have the entirety of xitter available to view at any one time due to how xitter's apis function.

BumpHere's two neat hacks I saw recently:Pac-Mania Arcade for the NES>All graphics and palettes were edited to better resemble the arcade version.>All music and sound effects replaced with new renditions based on the arcade version. Songs that were missing from Tengen's port were also added.>A new options screen, based on the arcade version's service mode screen. Now you can change difficulty, n° of lives, and even change the region to Japan, which lets you play the level variations that were omitted from the USA arcade version / Tengen's port.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp1krJoAod4https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9600/A Normal Puyo Puyo ROM / NewProject>A Puyo Puyo 1 hack released in April Fools 2026. It's short, but impressive on a technical level.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU2zegJ3vVchttps://sonicresearch.org/community/index.php?threads%2Fapril-fools-2026-daxkatters-april-fun-hack-pack-2.7385%2F
>>12540336Got pacmania arcade edition, like it
>>12540336What are the best and good "ROM overhaul" hacks that not just replaces sprites and graphics but do things like overhaul a mediocre port into a half way decent one? All I can think off are Super Mario and Friends, Super Mario Bros 2-, both Mortal Kombat Arkade Editions of those Hummer bootles (there's also a Russian one for one of the MK3 bootlegs that turns it into a okayish (for Hummer style fighting games) version of UMK3 on NES)As for Full ROM conversions, I can only think of Legend of Link and X-Fusion
>>12540378Here's a couple ones that come to mind:>Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition for the SEGA Genesis.This ones adds more animation frames, tweaks gameplay to remove delays, adds many voice samples from the arcade version, lets you change the music order to match the arcade or Genesis version, etc.https://romhackplaza.org/romhacks/mortal-kombat-arcade-edition-genesis/>NES Lemmings ImprovementBesides graphics and palettes being revised, it also has tons of bugfixes and provides some improvements, such as the music and sound effects now being able to play at the same time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsAPzhdpXOUhttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7748/>Sonic the Hedgehog Vol.2A hack of Somari and a continuation of many previous hacks which try to improve the game. This one features: tweaked psychics, bugfixes, objects like checkpoints added, Blue Spheres as a bonus stage, playable Super Sonic, Scrap Brain Zone, etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KICIV96B2zAhttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5026/
I would love to make a ROM hack im torn between Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 which of these games is easier to ROM hack? and what programs are good for creating the levels?
>>12541323I don't think MK Arkade Edition on Genesis adds the missing framea from the Sega CD and also has performance issues, but I still love it
>>12530259I like playing as zero.exe and the game beying 7/Z. But the rest of it is shit. You should just play as a different character with no relation to Lan. In fact, it could be Wily's grandkid. Zero would be the last navi Wily ever made, and he made it to destroy the world and all the usual wily bullshit. Pretty much a full parrallel to the X series. I like the idea of a navi that used to be a virus, but it should be a side character.
>>12541419>which of these games is easier to ROM hackSuper Mario 64>what programs are good for creating the levels?Blender
What if Michael Bay diected Soniac, no its not a shitpost, actual romhackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAbWWIlV0w
>>12539290Probably due to Retro trying to call dibs on their portal clone, which never happened because Tanabe was being a stuck up rulefag on "gifts"
>>12541702That would ruin MMBN's ending>Dude let's copy paste and not be different are intifaggots this retarded?
>>12539265>>12536208
>>12541951Shill your lets play channel elsewhere
>>12541702It is plausible that this individual could be a grandchildren of Wily, thereby fulfilling the role of Cial or great-grandchild like Ciel.
>>12541951this is literally just the Sonic Boom hack every t-slurs love because of that shortstok video of Sonic running while some gay vocaloid music playing.
>>12542586I don't know if >>12541702 thought this through, but Wily's reformation actually makes things interesting because any lingering superweapons would have to be made before then. So you'd have these unfinished programs he gleefully designed for mass destruction before he regretted everything and sealed them away. They'd have to deal with their creator turning his back on them, never able to realize their purpose.It fundamentally can't play out the same as X/Zero series where he's only seen laughing maniacally about the psychotic shit he built to be the strongest and best

>>12538104Bump again
Anyone got experience with SMB1 romhacking? I'm talking more in-depth stuff - ASM/Disassembly, Mapper Chips, Custom Music, ...I've pretty much reached the limit of traditional 40KB romhacking but don't know where to start or how much general hardware and Nes-Dev knowledge I need to really get going.First motivation would be to compose and add custom music. Seems it's either done in the disassembly or straight up with a hex editor and some helper tools. Anyone here done that before?
>>12540336Comparing the two on youtube, the new audio in that Pac-Mania hack is a dramatic upgrade and makes it worth it, but I feel a lot of the palette changes and outlineless sprites are a miss. Tengen made these concessions for a reason.
some my ideas for Winx Club video games, utilizing the Mega Man X engine and operating on PVSNESLIB.(Playable character selection)*Bloom (her arm cannon could resemble Omega-Xis)*Icy (equipped with a specialist's sword)
