The quality of hacks is also a cause of the problem. For example, this hack titled "Extreem Manseckz," is a hack of some Sonic game for GBA. The author was like "dude, it's a GBA hack. How many others have done that? Love me for it." Not helping at all...


While your sentiment may very well be true I think it's a bit unfair to condemn this hack on the basis of it's content alone. Haven't you ever heard of a sense of humor? The second ANY hack goes into a "dirty humor" direction it is automatically considered to be a terrible hack, a waste of time, and something that all romhackers should be ashamed of. I think that people should lighten up on this. Hacks don't have to be serious all the time. It's true that many of those dirty hacks are just simple graphical changes (I-Mockery, anyone?) but that by no means means that every hack that has a dirty or humorous theme to it is going to be shit. And sorry for going off topic. This is a romhacking bias that gets on my nerves.

Not to mention, that was actually a pretty good hack despite its immature content. Few hacks I know of have sound changes. Most 'dirty humour' hacks are only like 5 minutes worth of effort (LOL I drew a penis on Mario's standing still frame), while this was a rather extensive one. Plus, there aren't many GBA hacks to begin with. Just because you don't agree with a hack's content doesn't mean it's not a good hack. ... They're still good hacks, just not my style.


I take credit for Sonic Advance 3: Extreem Manseckz.

The humor is stupid. REALLY stupid. So stupid that it's funny just to laugh at the stupidity. But don't worry about that.

What I'm glad some people have noticed, is that this is a fairly comprehensive hack of a GBA game. Content aside, it is one of the only times one can say "fairly comprehensive hack of a GBA game." This is an example of something hurting the community, the lack of volume of comprehensive hacks. Why is it that one of the most involving GBA hacks has "Mangrip" on the titlescreen? Shouldn't GBA hacking be better than this? SA3:EM is inately crappy, but it is also a music(minor voices), text, graphics, palletes, and audio hack of a GBA game. It makes me a little sad that it's one of the best GBA hacks out there.
