What is ROM Hacking?
ROM hacking is modifying and editing the information inside ROMs. This would be things like changing graphics, colors, sounds, and text. Translations are a form of ROM hacks, the entire text is replaced with a completely new language. A more wise quote, made by WildBill, would be: This is an inexact science, a trial-and-error type of hobby. If it wasn’t devilishly challenging, everybody would be doing it. I get the feeling that we’re living in a special, once-in-a-lifetime era in amateur game re-coding and pioneering. In a few short years, the technology will be simply amazing, and these games that captivate us today will seem like ancient history. I don’t see how it can ever be as much fun as it is right now.
