Mega Man X, version of the SA-1 patch that's compatible with version 1.1 of the game.

Inspired by what was reported for Super Mario 3D All-Stars so far, I suggest changing Super Mario 64 DS so that instead of saying "Buh-bye!" after throwing Bowser at a great distance, he actually says, "So long-a, Bowser!"

Wow, you're right, that's awful. This seems like an easy hack. I will take a look when I get some free time this weekend.

One of the biggest flaws for Ghost Lion (NES) is the battle music. It's the music that we hear the most in the game and it plays in a short loop. Either mute the music or have it continue to play the field music.

Port some of the Shadowrun JP improvements back to US.

I'd like to try colorizing Mario's Picross and Picross 2. Are there any good dev resources that can show me the ropes on colorizing Gameboy games in a similar fashion to Super Mario Land, Kirby's Dream Land and Super Mario Land 2 and Dr. Mario DX? Any help is appreciated.

What for? The Japanese version of Shadowrun is already in english, for the most part.

I second that motion, but for Kirby's Dreamland 2 and Mega Man V as well.

I'm trying to get into Alex Kid in Miracle World, but the "one hit you're dead" thing and the fact that you have to do a secret button input if you have the coins in order to continue is really off putting.  There's a hack that just has infinite continues enabled called Alex Kidd in Miracle World 2, but that's a total conversion. I'd like to see this done for the base game... and all the other Alex Kidd games as well. I've not played them all but I've played Miracle World and Enchanted Castle, and it's the same story with both so I assume it's the same for the rest of the series.

...Also, it would probably be difficult...but some... ANY kinda tell for the bosses and what hand sign they're going to throw out during Roshambo... A subtle hand waggle for paper, a defensive stance for rock, ANYTHING

[PresidentLeever]

^It is done easily via a feature in KiddEd, I used it in my hacks (radaxian rumble and bro no)

The crystal ball lets you see what bosses will do, though you get it after a few levels. It's honestly less of a hassle to just look up the order, which is set, and follow that instead of trying to play the janken games normally.

[pocket]

Augh, I hate looking things up.  I'll just take notes instead. I'll look into KiddEd though, thanks.

  DOUBLE DRAGON II VERSION NES USA  (Restore the difficulty of the Japanese version on the USA game).

https://tcrf.net/Double_Dragon_II:_The_Revenge_(NES)

Difficulty Differences

    The Japanese version allows the player to go through all nine stages on any difficulty setting, whereas the English version restricts the game's length on the lower settings: PRACTICE ends the game on Mission 3, while WARRIOR ends on Mission 8, leaving Mission 9 accessible only on SUPREME MASTER.
    Continues are available by default in the Japanese version, whereas the English version requires the player to enter a cheat code at the GAME OVER screen that changes after every third stage. After choosing to continue, the player will be taken back to the main menu and will be allowed to change the number of players and difficulty setting before resuming at the last stage they left off. The length restriction will still be in effect after entering the continue cheat. This means that if the player lowers the difficulty level to PRACTICE on Mission 4 or above, the player will be warped back to Mission 3 instead. Likewise, lowering the setting to WARRIOR on Mission 9 will cause the player to continue the game on Mission 8 instead.
    Enemies seem to be more aggressive and have more health points in the Japanese version's DIFFICULT setting than they do in the English version's equivalent setting of SUPREME MASTER.


DOUBLE DRAGON II NES USA VERSION.

Will there be someone who would like to restore the difficulty of the Japanese version on the USA games.

There are 2 solutions either there is an English translation on the Japanese version or someone creates a hexadecimal code for the USA version which will potentially make it compatible with other Hacks.

Thanks to the whole community.

My "pie in the sky" wish would be for a utility that takes a .ftm or .nsf file from Famitracker and reformat it into bytes based on separate configuration files for each NES game. The utility itself would probably be easier to make than the config files, but since the sound / music data formats are known for many NES games it should be doable. Yes, the config files would have to specify which channels / effects would be discarded for that game.

I don't understand what you suggested. Reformat into bytes? If you mean generate a ROM (a WILD guess from my part), you can try eznsf, but it doesn't work with every nsf.

[Vanya]

He means converting a .ftm or .nsf file (specifically generated by Famitracker) into the music data format of a given NES game's sound engine as defined in a configuration file for that game.

It's a similar idea to that level editor that uses configuration files to be able to work on a large variety of games. I think it was called CAD or something  like that.

I have a request for hacking the GBA Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Four Swords.

It would be nice to change the unlock requirement for Palace of the Four Sword to make it so that completing Four Swords is not required. Maybe it could just require defeating Ganon or obtaining Sword Lv. 4/Golden Sword (to go with the "Four Swords"). I think the rupee fee should be higher, too, to make rupees have more of a purpose for later in the game. Maybe 100, or even 500, could be the Guardian's fee?

The Riddle sidequest should also be freed from requiring Four Swords medals as well.

I'd like those also. And for some odd reason, Kirby's Pinball Land.

i wonder how feasible it would be to take Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Cube or Wii version i guess) and turn it into a traditional dpad/buttons platformer (kinda just like Country Returns i guess)

would it even make sense to do this?  i never got into the original, so idk if it would work or even be worth doing tbh

Can someone change the point scoring system of Super Monaco GP for Master System to the current in F1 (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1)?

[Tsukiyomaru0]

Daikatana (GBC) ideas:
→ Make it so you always play as Hiro instead of Superfly and Mikiko
→ Have the cursor on the Main Menu default to Continue after you get a Game Over
→ Allow enemies to randomly drop items (armor and health just the +50 ones)
→ Give the Claw the ability to constantly damage when it's held out
→ A separate "Easy Mode" hack that halves all damage taken (minimum 1) and gives infinite ammo to all weapons + quick charge for the Daikatana
