Hey, who wants to make a remix of Super Mario World: Return to Dinosaur Land in the style of the Second Reality Project Reloaded series? Whether RAGB is directing this hack (likely alongside me) or not, I think it really does need its own backgrounds, level design (though it can keep the same as the original SMWRTDL), original soundtracks that sound like they came from The Second Reality Project Reloaded, its own ending, a stronger story than "strong man rescues weak woman from monster", new levels (including a Star Road & Special World at the end), etc. Yeah, if there's one problem I have with a lot of hacks, it's that they can have non-custom music. A lot of others (most notably Super Mario hacks like Super Mario Bros. 3Mix, Super Mario 64 Land, Mario Gives Up 1-3, etc), on the other hand, have their own soundtracks, even if most of them happen to be Super Mario World versions of existing gaming songs.

[@koopakape]

Man do I ever wish there were more videos like this. It's hard to find any content about hacks that actually talks about or recommends them rather than just goofing around on a few random shitty ones let's-play-style, and it seems rare to find someone who really understand what makes a truly good hack, i.e. balanced difficulty and a real attempt to change or add majorly to the original game. It can be hard to find good hacks and I often find out about excellent ones only YEARS after they were released. If there's a channel out there that lists new / good hacks I'd love to know it.

[@techmario4761]

hip indeed Yea. if you want to get into rom hacking. you have to learn many things about the file formats and know how to re-program the whole game. There's people who are doing gamecube rom hacks in the works and they look amazing! But yea. rom hacking is like learning how to re-program an entire game to make it even more special.

[@ADHGaming]

Check out my SNES ROM Hack videos perhaps, they are a mixture of let's play and information about that game. Just throwing it out there.

[@eternisedDragon7]

I think I can cover the Super Metroid aspect and help you in this regard for all its hacks. There's an exhaustive list of all hacks (with ratings) which proved in the SM community to have some valuable info for an overview of these: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/218520158963105792/443424412797239296/List_of_all_existing_rated_SM_hacks.txt

there are some simply amazing romhacks for Yoshi's Island for SNES check it out and if you can't find what i'm talking about due to the recent cutdown by nintento, shoot me your email and i will send it to you

[@juanitachristblaster4252]

One Chrono Trigger hack worth playing is Prophet's Guile. It tell the story of Magus's exploits before Crono and company catch up with him in Zeal. The story fits in like a puzzle piece that you never knew was missing.

[@niespeludo]

Never heard of that one, nice find

[@EvilKarateClown]

That was awesome. Thanks for the pointer.

[@Thirteen13551355]

Made by the same people who made Crimson Echoes.

[@tylerchenoweth5017]

Juanita Christblaster Only except that the game literally crashes at a certain point. Other than that, it's a good hack.

[@Thirteen13551355]

Yeah, that's the only bad thing. You have to play on ZSnes (a shit emu) to avoid crashes.

[@ChaosMechanica]

I appreciate the focus on interesting hacks, and not just difficulty spikes. It feels like 90% of hacks are "1000% more difficult! Will take hours to finish one level!" I much prefer reimaginings or people adding to the lore with fan fiction

[@Gloryboyquan]

same bro

[@Gloryboyquan]

what's the last hack you played?

[@GuilhermeFechner]

Every time the Super Metroid song plays at the background of these videos lots of joyful memories come to mind about this epic! gosh how good this soundtrack is

[@michatroschka]

can only agree here. crazy game and soundtrack

[@itweeb4765]

A note for the Zelda: Parrallel Worlds, I recall a post from the dev that stated that they designed the difficulty with the ability to use save states taken into consideration. So don't feel like you're cheating if you have to make use of that feature to clear the game.

[@gamechannel1271]

That's a terrible idea. People use save states because they are struggling with a part of a game and are trying to just get through it. Not because they enjoy using save states.

[@Justforvisit]

@@gamechannel1271 I'd disagree there. Sometimes it's also just very convenient to be able to save anywhere you can instead of havinf to rely on the intended save points only, a perfect example would be Zelda II where you had to walk aaaaaaaaaall the way back when you died. But in our modern day and age and with most people being older, having jobs and maybe also a family to support we all don't maybe have the time anymore to wait for the intended savepoints, so instead and when technologx allows it nowadays, why not save anywhere you can?

[@ImSquiggs]

@@JustforvisitPeople are not generally criticizing using save states as a sort of extended pause, it’s more about using them to trivialize challenges in the game, IE saving before something difficult and trying it 100x without really caring if you die because there’s nothing lost.

[@ImSquiggs]

I can definitely confirm this hack was made to use save states. Me and my roommate tried for a month to beat the cartridge version on a real SNES and just the first level alone is HELL without save states. If you die, you will lose hours of progress, because there is no save in LTTP that won’t bring you right back to start when you load until you clear the first castle and stop the Overworld rain, and they decided that the first castle clear is a journey in this one haha. You have to gather stuff in a town, buy things, beat a pre-dungeon cave and then beat a really backtracky windy dungeon with boss all before you can save even once, and if you die it’s all over. We tried for months to just get to the first physical location you can possibly save and we finally made it, but were so burnt out when we got there that we haven’t picked it up again since haha

[@retromillennia795]

>Type in Nintendo in the search bar looking for Super Bowl commercial >found this >was not disappointed

[@theloneranger83]

Zelda Goddess of Wisdom is NOT glitched. What you presented at 4:05 is you doing thigs wrong. You patched the IPS patch to the false original ROM. You patched to US ROM, while in the readme as well as under Patch info it clearly states to patch to EU rom. On Romhacking.net you even have the CRC-32 ID of the original game listed, and a warning that if these numbers don't match, do not bother patching/playing at all. But you did just that. You patching the game falsly resulting in bugged Rom, which is completely the fault of the end user (ie you) and blaming the author of making a bugged rom is really the worst case scenario that the romhackers could face. And of course your problems are the result of obsolete IPS patches who don't have the security check to tell you that you are doing things wrong. Not to mention the header/no header thing. 50 percent of all users patch to a headered rom, when they should patch to a non headered one and then wonder why the game is glitched/not loading. However obviously some hacks are unpolished since they were made by common people, and not companies and debugging/betatesting is a serious process which can take months by a lot of people/beta testers to even bring the game to a playable state.

Appreciate these vids...it makes it easier to cut through the BS games and im picky so its been great to get my list together in No time....I had almost every system so theres Nostalgia in every game and system....Salute!

[@Morphineck]

First person I've ever heard saying super zero mission is fair and intuitive. That game is brutal.

[@sparkydeltorro]

Chezare Da Silva I enjoyed it, but they went overboard with the bosses - just made them as frustrating as possible.

[@warpigs777]

Is it the same as zero mission on gba?

[@ericcartman7420]

@@warpigs777 No. Super Zero Mission is a Super Metroid hack that uses tiles from Zero Mission for GBA. Super Zero Mission however has a completely new planet to explore, so there's that.

[@solidus3168]

The difficulty is so brutal, the install does not even tell you which base smc you need. Does it even matter? Any ideas?

[@ericcartman7420]

@@solidus3168 Pretty much every Super Metroid hack requires an either headered or unheadered "Super Metroid (JU).smc" ROM. I'm not going to link those here; Google is your friend. Edit: And yes, it does matter. For example, if you use a european Super Metroid ROM, things are likely going to break.

[@SheonEver]

Hyper metroid was amazing in my opinion; huge well-designed world, balanced combat, and an ending sequence that's virtually second to none even counting other professional efforts. I enjoyed it more than super zero mission, even though it ran the risk of too much back-tracking and unintuitive progression. If you're a super metroid fan you shouldn't miss it.

[@marscaleb]

Mad props for that opening blurb alone. That's the one thing that kills my interest in ROM hacks more than everything else. I'm sick of getting excited for a really cool and interested looking hack just to find that they designed it expecting you to abuse save statestates like a chump.

[@abstractdaddy1384]

[@Birmanncat]

I've been sifting through various rom hacks these past few days looking for something cool... and here you are. Very timely.

[@bladesofadrith]

Great video as always! Zero Mission is actually the subtitle of the GBA remake of the first Metroid on NES, with additional areas and bosses, bearing the Super Metroid look. It's not mentioned in the video so I thought you might be unaware of its existence. It's a great remake, definetely check that out. Super ZeroMission on the other hand is apparently (haven't played it myself, speaking through the video and a quick google search) a refined and hardened remaster of the GBA game on SNES through Super Metroid rom hack. I guess it also has further additions to the game, content wise. So the rom hack's contents are actually based on an officially released game that is the prequel and not entirely indie creations. The hack probably wasn't going for a sequel in this case. Also, SNNNNNNN.......NNNESDRUNK!! Obviously. XP

[@serkansen0190]

so would you recommend playing zero mission on a gba emulator or super zeromission on a snes emulator?

[@serkansen0190]

Never Mind. Just read in a metroid hacking forum that super zero mission gets extremely hard and was a good hack when it came out, but it does not has as near as the polish of a official nintendo release like the gba zero mission. in addition to that, it mixes zero mission and super metroid, so it is not an "demake" or "remake" of the original zero mission NES or GBA game.

[@JakeKristof]

Very cool learning about these rom hacks! I've only heard mention of them before, and I have yet to try any. But, you have piqued my interest :)

[@jaymethysell5111]

You should do a video about Crimson Echos vs. Flames of Eternity. No one else has done one. Talk about the differences, the history, and the controversy of the two projects. I want to figure out which one I should play; I'm not interested in playing both since they are similar. From what I understand, CE is 98% complete, and slightly better. FoE is built off of an earlier version of CE, but it goes in a slightly different direction; people say it's not quite as good, but it is complete and still being improved (at least as of 2015). Maybe if more people talked about it, it could inspire a group to finish off CE.

[@viewtifuljoe99]

Looking forward to more in this series. I've barely dipped into the romhack world but I'd like to change that

[@lydiankazar5581]

Thanks for the video, I appreciate you leaving the links to your ROMhack as well :)

[@miguelpina2006]

An interesting Super Metroid hack is Metroid Phazon hack, where you play as Dark Samus. Not that intuitive or easy, but the game brings a lot to the table with new graphics and animations. Worth to check out.

[@Hagashager]

Your notion that it's harder to make a balanced level is actually *very true* In the game industry itself there's an axiom, "It's easy to make something, it's hard to make something challenging" I highly recommend the Tony Garcia and Mike Stout Developer LP of Ratchet and Clank. They go indepth about difficulty balancing and how *really* hard it is. Warren Spector and Tum Schafer also talked about this on separate occassions somewhere.

[@GasparMoT]

Are you kidding me, how have I not seen any of these?

[@ealswytheangelicrealms]

I agree that most of these Rom hacks are way to difficult and a waste of time even attempting. When the hack is so impossibly hard like Parallel World's where you die again and again and is no fun to play because of the insane difficulty level don't waste your time with it.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Great video. I haven't seen too many of these kinds of videos. Most people just play a crappy rom hack and call it a day. You show some good ROM hacks here some of which I'll buy in cart form. Thanks for sharing.

Controls can be an issue sometimes but it's a relatively cheap fix to get an otg cable or a slightly more expensive peripheral.

Great video, but Im surprised you said Super Metroid was the most hacked. I think SMW is by far the most popular hack. Both have their own website, but SMW central has over double the hacks of Super Metroid. Also, if you check twitch stations, you'll find more people playing SMW hacks than the original. Both are great, but Kaizo (rearranged) hacks are extremely popular. Probably one of the reasons Mario Maker came out.

I doubt there is a "newer" Crimson Echoes as they got the no go from Squeenix way back; it's a miracle that we got what we got at all. I've played the 99% version and it was buggy as all hell. Flames of Eternity is just the way to go since the people over there really tried their best to finish it. Although the website hasn't been updated in a year, the project can still be updated with more content whilst CE will never change.

Nice list. Looking forward to see what else you tried. One of my favorites is Super Puzzle World. There is also an other version of the Zelda Parallel Worlds called 'Parallel Remodel'.

Ghoul Patrol was the official Zombies Ate my Neighbors sequel. A lot of people never knew it came out.

[@AceAileron]

So after watching every video you’ve published - amazing channel by the way - I have to say I agree with 99% of your reviews, with the most minor of caveats. This stems as far as agreeing with your reviews of the SNES’ biggest tittles to “Extra Innings” being one of the best SNES Baseball games. That being said, the 1% ties to your review of Final Fantasy II and CT: FoE. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that my love for FFII is likely that I view it through rose colored glasses - I’m one of the few people who liked II better than III for a myriad of reasons. Of course, If I’m being completely honest, I’ve played so many iterations of IV, I cannot truly say when I last played the original SNES release. Is it fair to compare FFIV: Hard Type to Final Fantasy III? Probably not, and your comments aren't wrong accordingly. However, when you think about the general story, difficulty, and music I still think II is stronger. I was surprised to hear you thought FoE was just “decent”, given your love of the first. To me, FoE took all the great aspects of the first, albeit with a slightly weaker story, cranked the difficulty up to 11, and rolled with it. I will say that some of the earlier iterations were pretty buggy and the game felt incomplete but that seems to be mostly resolved. Anyway, these are one of those comments that probably gets filed under the “don’t care” category but regardless, I did just want to state that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your channel and look forward to future releases.

[@dreambear8292]

Is there a way i can play these rom hacks on the snes or do i have to have a PC?

[@crimzongaming5470]

One method is finding people that sell reproduction carts; they've flashed the chip with the "apdated" and patched file. Another is using a "romcart" such as FXPak Pro (formerly SD2SNES") or Everdrive, which hold the games on a micro-SD card. Patch the appropriate rom file with the ips file, then place in a folder and access through the romcart's menu. Many of these patched games will work on original hardware.👍

Zelda Parallel Worlds is proof that just because someone is competent, and knows the original material doesn't mean they can make a good game. The problem is that there's no way anyone could possibly get through it without a guide, which ruins Zelda games. No amount of exploring will advance your game at all, and anyone who claims they've beaten it without cheating of some sort is an absolute liar.

I luckily found a guide for Parallel Worlds. Never would have finished it without that. I didn't even know bomb jumping was a thing before that.

[@fentanelfloyd8383]

noddwyd still have it? Or know where I can download?

[@noddwyd]

@@fentanelfloyd8383 Apparently I don't still have it. I'm pretty sure it was a pdf file. There is a website with some sort of guide at zelda quertymodo com and some speedrun guides in other places but it's not the same one. The guide I had was for the original version they decided was too difficult. Newer versions of the game are different and I think don't require things like bomb jumps and glitching through barriers or hovers. The hover I definitely used tools to do though and it was only in one room in the Parallel Tower where it was required. Not many people do those except top speedrunners. I remember the guide mostly helped with the beginning where I had no idea what to do or where to go, and in a late game dungeon where you teleport everywhere. The teleport map looks like spaghetti. I would have had to make a map if I didn't find one.

FYI: Parallel Remodel is a revised and better balanced version of the Parallel Worlds hack.

[@munchymcmouthington298]

Super Metroid has many excellent hacks these days (I appreciate that the video was from 2017) SM Ascent is the best of the best. SM Eris is hard but amazing. SM Vitality. SM Ice Metal Uninstall. Temple of the Winds. SM Ancient Chozo. SM Z-Factor

Super Mario World Brutal Mario or bust. There's a remodel of Parallel Worlds that changes the mode from insane to normal. I've played a few of these games, but haven't had a chance to play all the way through. There's even a bunch for n64. I tried to reprogram a game editor for Megaman X, but it was quite a bit more work than I could handle.

[@DenniselAzul]

Thanks for the video and your recommendations! :D

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks for taking the time to watch

[@DenniselAzul]

You took your time making the video. I'm glad that sometimes KZbin's algorithm for recomendations works fine. :)

Dinosaurland should just be called SMW 2 honestly, its so good it almost feels like a Nintendo made sequel

[@ericcartman7420]

There is already a Nintendo-made sequel to Super Mario World. It's called "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island".

[@Pop_Shepski]

Can you get Parallel Worlds on the mini??!

[@cerebralhawks4544]

Parallel Worlds wasn't made for "hardcore Zelda fans," it was made for emulator users who had save states and cheats. It's a game that, unlike every SNES game, is aware you have save states and cheats, and is actively fighting you despite those "advantages." It kind of turns them against you. It's not meant to be played straight (e.g. on a flashcart on a real SNES). That's just silly. However, there is a second version of Parallel Worlds that is meant to be played fairly. I haven't messed with it. If you ever revisit Zelda romhacks, you should also talk about the Randomizer.

[@OwGash]

Romhacks are my love. The fishes in ''a very super mario world'' where from smb2 tho^

[@SNESdrunk]

Romhacks Part 3 posts next Tuesday

[@OwGash]

I'll be ready to watch that then^

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

Holy shit a rom hack video and it came out on my birthday a year ago. Damn it youtube stop putting tarantulas in my suggested videos and put things like this. Love the analysis and explanation of what a rom hack is for anyone who is unaware. Time to fire up the emulator again.

[@Rokabur]

I tried watching a playthrough of Parallel Worlds, didn't last long as the hack seemed really broken as the person ran into and was hit by enemies multiple times and suffered zero damage.

[@themrnails]

Good job. Great video. Thanks!

[@jikissgamer]

I loved A Very Super Mario World.

[@MrMightyMouse]

There's a metric ton of really good Kaizo SMW hacks

[@gamesofdoom6830]

I can certainly second your recommendation of Hyper Metroid. In many ways it improves on the original. I wish other Metroid games had that backflip!

[@victorrivera4157]

any harvest moon hacks you recommend?

[@Ronnie1992]

One Super Metroid Romhack worth is Ancient Chozo Seriously, it's impressive!

[@techmario4761]

you have my sub now! thanks. I was looking for some good rom hacks I can play on my phone!

[@mmd3585]

Good list, I enjoyed Flames of Eternity a lot, but it's not a very balanced experience as the first one. It's way harder. The problem with a Chrono Trigger sequel is the same that bugs the Half Life 3 to exist today: excessive expectations. Flames of Eternity is better than a lot of RPGs, even for Super Nintendo, but is not at the same level as the original. Even if SquareEnix develops a better game than CT was, probably, for most of the people, it would not be as good as the SNES one. HL3 is in the same situation, because no matter how good it is, some would still think it ruined the "trilogy" because it wasn't good enough to satisty the huge expectations that nostalgia generates.

[@resonaire]

MMD so is flames of eternity better than crimson echoes? How much of crimson is adapted into flames?

[@thommohawk1216]

That's why it's hard to go wrong with games such as Black Mesa or Ocarina Of Time on the 3DS - games where they take the original classic and make a modern ish looking version of it. Very interested to see what Capcom does with the Resident Evil 2 redo. It looks terrific!
