ROM Hacking comes to Vimm's Lair
Posted by Vimm on .
Welcome to the new ROM Hacking Board!
For years romhacking.net was the place to go for ROM hacks. Recently they stopped accepting new submissions and released their database and files for others to build on. As a test, Vimm's Lair has integrated part of that database starting with hacks and translations.
What's done?
What's missing?
What's next?
So what would you like to see? Vimm's Lair is hand built from scratch so sky's the limit.
For years romhacking.net was the place to go for ROM hacks. Recently they stopped accepting new submissions and released their database and files for others to build on. As a test, Vimm's Lair has integrated part of that database starting with hacks and translations.
What's done?
- All hack and translation pages are complete, with downloads.
- ROM details link to The Vault when possible. Only applies to patches based on a clean No-Intro/Redump ROM.
What's missing?
- The database did not include credits. Authors are known only by their id (number) but could be reconstructed by hand in time.
- Homebrew, utilities, and documents are not supported.
What's next?
- Add homebrew, utilities, and documents.
- Add content submission and editing. Files can be uploaded directly to vimm.net with no size limits.
- Update old patches based on dirty ROMs to use clean No-Intro/Redump ROMs.
So what would you like to see? Vimm's Lair is hand built from scratch so sky's the limit.
