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 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.

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

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.

I just stop hacking altogether for a few weeks. That usually recharges my hacking batteries.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.)
