This happens to me every so often that I actually have "swings" in which I hack a lot or don't at all. Usually my inspiration to hack again comes from playing other hacks, re-discovering the files or playing video games I can hack (i.e. Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid, etc.) |

Jerk it out
LMAO, im just kidding, that just happens to be the name of the song that im listening to. The Caesars: Jerk it out.
Hmm, i guess i just stop hacking for a while. Usually a month at least, but when i sit down to hack again, i can get a ton done. |

Try finding a song that inspires you. Then, whenever you get unmotivated, listen to it. It works. |

I still haven't regained inspiration.. I'm busy with homework, and playing video games. (Dragon Warrior Monsters has my time.)
Summer may do it, but you never know.. |

When I lose inspiration, I tend not to go back to it. Well, at least I havent YET. Kirby, I may get back to you someday, buddy. That was coming along fine, I think, with the help of Parasyte and Jigglysaint. |

Maybe it's becuase a few people see ASM hacks & feel like if a hack doesn't have ASM then it's not gonna be good hack. |

I still haven't gotten it back. Havent touched a hex editor or tile editor in months. :\
Worse yet, I'm losing interest in the other non-rom hacking projects I'm working on. |

Well, for me I play other hacks too. I've been playing alotta SMW hacks lately, so that's been helping me get back on course with my ROM Hacking projects. It's this thread that's been giving me inspiration to ROM hack again. |

Yeah...same here for me. It's been a long time since I've hacked, and I feel like I want to restart again so suddenly.  |

Start another completely unrelated project.
*That makes project #438! Only another 432 more to finish!* |

Over the past few weeks I stopped doing Ninji Saga to blast through Mario All Stars with a friend. We're now halfway through the last world of Yoshi's Island. |

Back in the days when I still was a rom-hacker and lost inspiration I just play some video games. That worked for me. |

I guess one thing I do is replay what I am hacking. It usually makes me wanna fix this and fix that. And of course another thing I do is code hack, Making codes for a code website I help run. Nothing more satisfying about making codes except actually posting them on the website yourself. |

When I lose inspiration, I play some hacks, or other videogames, I take the time to think things over. Sometimes its necessary to take a break from ROM hacking altogether, or just hack a different game. I know the feeling though. It sucks. But eventually you will get it back. Ever try taking a couple months away from ROM hacking? When you come back, everything feels fresh, and you feel a lot better. |

I normally start about a dozen projects that I will end up having to finish.
*glares at CastleVania: DeNasty Dynasty, Final Fantasy: The Crescent of Civilius, Metroid: TechnoCrisis, and Super Mario Bros: Escape from Goomba Island* |
