Just to let everyone know:

www.badhacks.net has now launched. It's dedicated to the kind of weird & monstrous hacks that some people & sites are intolerant of. Our aim is to have a site where these mutant hacks can be gathered and preserved for posterity.

Submissions are welcome, so if anyone out there is secretly working on a hack centred on nudity, swearing or other 'immature' concepts, please feel free to send it in for inclusion. We will not judge you.

Note, there aren't that many hacks up just yet, but more are on the way soon...

Thanks for your time.

LOL

Do you accept PS1 and PS2 hacks?

Damn.

But if someone made a PS1 or PS2 hack, would you consider accepting it?

EDIT: A .ppf patch or a game save, not the actual ISO itself.

Damn, someone screen shot that. Jomb came out of lurkmode.

I can't think of any better way to utilize my 69th post than to congratulate the BHDN staff on this triumphant debut!  :thumbsup:

(And, incidentally, I think I've found just the jumpstart I needed to finally finish a certain re-release...) 

To be honest, I've no idea how PS1, PS2 and other similar hacks work. I'd have to educate myself on the subject. Also, do any of them really match the horror of a crudely hacked NES ROM?

If you want to send something over, I'll take a look at it but I can't guarantee anything. 

I'm gonna link you guys on my site, thanks for mentioning my Nemo hack there. :thumbsup:

Time to trot out the dead and half decomposed horse and proceed to kick the everloving shit out of it:


It's not so much "respectable" as has evolved extensively since the dark ages. Any brain dead monkey could fuck around with NESticle's "VROM" editor and churn out a pile of shit. Times have changed; shit that was deemed "impossible" in 1997 are commonplace today, due to the influx of new talent as well as older hackers such as me progressively improving themselves.


Yes, that was my intent exactly. And the sequel is the ultimate realization of that goal.


Several reasons. I enjoy ROM hacking... Not so much programming. In the amount of time it would take to get proficient at a language, I could create something so different from the base game to have basically made it a new one, since I already have an "engine" to work with. Also, the technical limitations one has to deal with in ROM hacking are, to me, fun. It's a constant battle to bend the ROM to your will, and make it your bitch.


I'm not overtly fond of these myself, but to each his own.


No, it's that 96% of our current crop of ROM hackers have a sense of humor above the level of a giggling 10 year old who finds drawing cocks on pictures in their school books the height of comedic accomplishment. This is probably due to most of us being in our 20s now: It's been a decade since hacking really took off.


Do you understand the difference between people laughing with you VS laughing *at* you?


I don't even think "manipulating" comes close to what you do to music. It's the aural equivalent of shitting in your hand and throwing it against a wall and calling it a painting.

So to draw this waste of fucking typing to a close, people don't ridicule your brand of hacks primarily because of the sophomoric content, they mock it because they *suck*. Total lack of artistic ability, creativity or originality. It's like choosing to listen to a retarded 5 year old bang on pots and pans when you could go to a rock concert or a symphony.
