Hacked ROMs = Timewasters

Posted by NeutralReiddHotel on March 1, 2008, 10:27 p.m.

ohai thar. Here's me, typing more useless.

I've recently been downloading ROM hacks(since it suddenly came to me that beating Super Mario Bros. over and over isn't fun) in the name of lulz. I've only tried two of them, and I couldn't stop playing them. That is, until the batteries on my GP2X ran out. D=

Sonic 1 Megamix is probably the best I've played so far. It not only has the features of SonicCD(which is awesome), but also of later Sonic games, like following through a path of rings. You can select through 3 characters, with each of them having their own second jump ability, and go through either the newly added levels or the original ones in the game. It is so awesome to have the homing attack from Sonic Advance games in Sonic one. Fucking. Awesome.

Another one is Super Demo World: The Adventure Continues. This game is probably the bitchy-est Mario game I've played yet. But then again, I don't play many Mario games appart from the originals. All I've seen is hard-as-fuck levels atm, but that's because I suck at Mario and I haven't really left the first island. ;_;

Now, for my own game(which, unlike the other two, sucks).

Oh look! It's Purianite(left) and Blueboy(right).

The game's going to be an RPG + platformer-ish and will involve 64D members. I do know that Purianite has black hair, but I'm too lazy to recolor the whole animations thing.

As for my life, nothing noteworthy is happening. Actually, there is, but since 64D's maturity level is low as fuck, I'd rather not say it.

Go away. I need to play more Sonic 1 Megamix. :D

I thought this was going to be a rant on why hacking roms was a complete waste of time, as opposed to programming original games and/or fangames.

I was very dissapointed.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm too into these games, maybe I would've. >_<

And a reason to buy a GP2X thingy?

A reason to buy a GP2X is because you already have both a DS and PSP, have the most expensive smartphone on the market and the most high performance laptop and you still aren't pleased with your portable gaming capacity.

Not really. The DS and PSP are made for their own games, while the GP2X is made to emulate other systems. You can do that with the PSP, but you won't get the same results. It's what I've heard anyway, since I don't have either of them.

Also, my laptop isn't high powered and my phone isn't really expensive. :(
