Site: Romhacking.net Open for Business Again

Yup. Don't submit a patched rom.

...ouch, didn't realize it was just last month I changed that nasty ass orange background in my av.

Is it possible to extract a patch from a rom somehow?

Easy.

Find the ROM the patch was based off of, then use Lunar IPS.

The problem is finding out what ROM it's based off of. So, so many versions of roms out there...

Damn you goodltools!

What, I might need all those [b ]s and [o ]s one day for some unexplainable reason...

Anyways, woot! I can once again put those four special letters in the address bar: rhdn

Did a Help Wanted Ad right after the site opened. Unsure if it was processed.
Should I resubmit?

Wow. I attended a security webcast today, and they talked about the HyperVM thing, and all the stuff that was lost. My first thought was "gee, I wonder if that's what happened to RHDN." Seems it was. i wouldn't feel too bad, NC. There were hundreds of thousands of accounts that were completely unrecoverable. The fact that RHDN is back up and running at all with any kind of restore is pretty amazing. 

Woo, thanks!

Happy day~!  

I was seriously starting to have withdrawals.

I just want to state for the record: This last week or so has been the most productive week I have had in a couple years. Coincidence? 

Propaganda and lies! 

Awesome, RHDN is back again! I was starting to get serious withdraw symptoms too after seeing the site down for so long. Too bad about the lost material, but at least there still was a pretty recent backup available which is good. I think I remember the game edits that I made, I'll have to check my emails.

great to be back here again!

It's good to be back, but there was some good topics going which are gone now 

KingMike:
Go to the Submit Files Page, you can see the queue submission status link there. Yours is still there. No submissions have been processed yet due to the rDNS e-mail thing. No need to resubmit.

I have to have contact the data center (owner of the actual IP address block) today and see what happened with the rDNS record. It's holding us back. If we can't get quick resolution with it, I'll either open up e-mail anyway and deal with whatever the result may be of not having it, (my ISP e-mail is OK with it, but I know Comcast and Yahoo are not off the top of my head.) or we will just approve/reject without proper e-mail confirmation.  I'll give it some thought.

HAIL RHDN!

Anyway, at least I have my account back.

....I don't know what upload sites your database will allow, Nightcrawler gave a link once, but that was after April

Meantime, I got some Qooy redirected depositfile links for some Sonic/2 hacks:

http://qooy.com/redirect/1OSMQHMW/4
^called "Robotniks Revenge" for Sonic 2; Author goes by ColinC10; levels, graphics, and gameplay are changed, guessing text as well, to make it a complete hack, since the title screen says "time attack" "survival" and allows you to pick between Sonic and Tails. If that didn't give the hint, it's a boss rush using all the bosses between the first 2 Sonic games.

http://qooy.com/redirect/1KRDXVFX/4
^called "Sonic 1 - Return to the Origin," obviously for the first Sonic game. Author is Carretero. Far as I can tell, it's a level hack, and nothing more. This has you play the levels in the same order, but backward, from right to left. Makes it more challenging when you're used to the stages as they go from left to right.

http://qooy.com/redirect/1PTI1CLR/4
^This one is called Tohaka, it's for Sonic 2. Author is either just Ultima, or the group he put together called Shadowsoft games, unfortunately I have no idea there. Seems to also just be a level hack, though the title screen is changed, if that counts for a graphics hack. Pretty much makes a new game out of Sonic 2's levels. Oh, it's need to be played more to tell, but I don't know if any gameplay changes occured. The site I go it from mentions that it was the intention, but I didn't play far enough to notice anything.

That's all I got for now. You can google search Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Trilogy, and you'll come upon a site that has an incredible UMK3 hack, in patch format, as well as pre-patched rom. I seem to have a much older version of this. It also requires it's own hacked genesis emulator, not sure if including that, or just that fact alone, would have been against the rules or not.

You can find a ton more, though as pre-patched roms, Sonic hacks at a site called Sonic Retro. Those 3 just stuck out more to me, out of what I have seen(that's not already here), but I probably still haven't seen the best of what's out there

I can make it into a patch easily enough(I think..), thanks to I.S.T.'s  mention of Lunar IPS, but I can not find who the author of the patch is. One of you guys had a youtube video not too long ago, that included a link to the pre-patched rom, of a hack called Mario vs. Airman, which is a SMB hack that puts Mario in the MM2 Airman stage.

Lastly, knowledge of tools like Lunar IPS really needs to get out there. Good potential for getting more hack patches up on this site.
