I have SNESTool, but havnt used it yet. I got it to make my hack an ips file.
ill try to figure out how to make it a patch and headered, so i might be back with questions. So is it better if my hack is headered? |

Originally posted by the_icepenguin 1. To post them on the board, yes; a) it's much smaller, and b) it's not illegal. 2. Basically, a headered rom is one with a small amount of "blank space" at the front for a little more extra room; if you're using an editor, you'll probably need to make sure it's headered. To add a header, use SNESTool. |

It's illegal to distribute the ROM itself; you need to make an IPS patch or similar. |

1.Do i have to make my hack a patch? (no idea) 2.What is a headered/unheadered ROM? (i think someone told me once but i cant remember) 3. |

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Ultimate
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link EX Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Reloaded Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Turbo Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Maniacs Edition Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link With Extra Cheese Zelda 2: Link and Zelda's Bogus Journey Zelda 2: This Hack Might Kill You Zelda 2: Electric Boogaloo See? Coming up with a new name isn't that hard. |

If it's a straight difficulty hack, call it zelda ii hardtype. In all lowercase, just like that. |

Just call it "Ice Penguin's Zelda 2 Hack" or something generic like that.
I do like the play as a penguin idea though. Hehe. |
the_icepenguin Posts: 43/257 |
There isnt any story change, im just making the game harder....a lot harder.
Anyway, Ill think of something. "The Adventure of The Ice Penguin" hehe...just kidding, then i would have to change Link into a penguin... hey, that would be cool. a penguin with a sword.... |

You plan to do an entire hack... And you're blanking on a name.
Jeez, just make something up. It doesn't have to be good. Is "Link's return" taken? |

What's the synopsis of the main story (what's the hack's story)? |
the_icepenguin Posts: 42/257 |
Blast! What should i call it? This is the worst part.

Originally posted by the_icepenguin I'd just subtitle it or something. Does your hack have a name? You should have a name for it, even if it is just something simple like "the_icepenguin's Zelda II Hack." |

The newbie doesn't want to change the title screen. I need to give him as many reasons as possible, even stupid ones. |

Just a minor title hack should suffice. Change "The Adventure of Link" to something suitable, or do whatever you feel like.
If nothing else, somebody playing your hack will immediately know that it's working properly (if they get the regular Zelda 2 title logo, then they know something's gone wrong), and somebody trying to play vanilla Zelda 2 won't wind up playing your hack by mistake. |

Can i just leave the title of the game the same? thats probably a silly question but i really dont want to change it. |
