Thanks. We've had plans in the works for awhile now to allow the public to also actually submit items to the database and/or actually submit changes etc.

One of the founding ideas of this site is to eliminate everybody having to rely on staff to do everything. That's a huge bottleneck and the cause of death for many sites. The news was just the first step in that direction.

Sure it's not that great of an editor. But it IS an editor.

The only true link we have is Neil_ from when it used to be ROMhacking.org. He's on our staff. We did use the ROMhacking.com internet archive page as something to start with for rebuilding the database, but that's it.

Unlike Inverse, we actually care about the site and community and activley update and maintain the site, AND have a positive attitude.

We just want to get away from the negativity and lack of caring shadow that was shown from ROMhacking.com. That's not us.



Very true. I remember Inverse actually not wanting people visiting the site, or traffic of any sort. O_o

You are doing an amazing job with the site so far, and I love the idea of being able to submit news myself. Truly spectacular work Nightcrawler.

I strongly agree with Dan"the Man" ...hehehe....

Romhacking.net should be a resource of guides, documents, how-to's, and technical documents. Assembly guides/resources would be great too being that is what we hackers need knowlege of to do the hacking!

UTILITIES UTILITIES UTILITIES!!!!!!! That is what is important!
Not nessecarily hacks. IMHO you or your romhacking group should be promoting/advertising your hack... Although it would be nice to see some of the *better* hacks put up there as examples of *good* hacking.

I agree. It doesn't seem worth spending the time to come up with a good system for adding data for games, when there are websites that already specialise in it.

I think if anyone wants to put a memory map up on ROMhacking.net they could probably post it as a document anyways.

Thanks for the memory map archive links. I guess I can't argue that some of the information there is certainly useful for ROM hackers. Two issues really.

1. They aren't in a format suitable for adding to the site. Need some sort of document files or zipped HTML docs etc.

2. These sites are doing a decent job already. Wouldn't adding them to ROMhacking.net sort of hurt those sites?

I do support those sites and have linked to them on the site.

What are your thoughts?

Good job! Hopefully, this will turn out to be the best resource for advanced ROM hacking on the web. Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to the implementation of the hacks section.

Wow my editor is on that site...

I will say that I wont be able to work on it again till my final highschool swimming season is over(march-ish 2006). But I do plan on completing it now that I know how to work with the compressions in the rom

They're pretty useful for those who are developing ASM hacks for the game. Also, seeing what's what in memory is often helpful for finding things in ROM.

There are already a couple of websites that made to house ROM and memory maps. Data Crystal and WikiRAM.

And you'd like to see these on the site?

They are only really marginally useful if you ask me. RAM contents are always changing and while location xx may contain your HP during battle, it may not any other time in the game. How are cases where the same location can contain several different important variables depending on what code is being executed?

Shouldn't the focus be on teaching a person how to find their own variables rather work that they may not even understand what to do with? Memory maps have the potential to confuse someone even more.

Who's currently got a good archive of memory maps? I'd be interested in taking a look at some of them.

Voice your opinion on the message board. If it draws a following from others, I would have no problem adding these types of documents to the site.

Memory maps are lists of what variable goes where in RAM for a given game.

What do you mean by memory map? I'm not familiar with that term as it applies to web pages.

Nice. However, it needs a memory map. If you want me to hack one up, just ask.

I was looking for trhe hacks section. Hopefully my hacks make the cut. I never could get Zophars to put all mine up there. Looks pretty streamlined tho.
