It’s now time for the release of the English translation patch for “Aspic: Mahebiou no Noroi” (Translated as “Aspic: Curse of the Snakelord”) on the Famicom Disk System. All text has been translated, thanks to Bunkai and Ryu-Senpai. Also, the game’s instruction manual has also been translated into English, thanks to abridgewater for his scans, Bunkai for translations, and Infrrod for his scanlation work.

As for the game in question, this game is actually a sequel to an earlier JRPG called “Lizard”. Aspic starts where Lizard leaves off. You play the role of the warrior, Samson, who has returned with the Book of Truth and must use it to uncurse the princess of Okalf Castle. However, a wizard arrives three days prior to Samson’s arrival. The wizard proclaims that he can uncurse the wizard, but he must bring her to Suna first. The wizard did uncurse the princess but would offer her as a bride for Aspic the Snakelord. Samson must embark on another quest to rescue the princess from Aspic. Little does he know, however, is that the Snakelord has one trick up his scales…

While this game has the stereotypical save-the-princess plotline that many other games like Aspic do have at the time. However, what sets this game apart from those is how the game ends. You’ll have to play the game to find out.

NHL ‘94: 2023 Edition has been updated for the NHL trade deadline!

This hack will completely update NHL ‘94 for the 2023 season. The goal is to try to provide the most refined and realistic modern versions of this all-time classic game. Key features include…

Rosters, Ratings & Lines. Eight hundred players obsessively rated, up-to-date rosters (as of March 13, 2023), and realistic lines, based on extensive 2021-2023 regular season player data and analytics. All of this is built on top of smozoma’s 16-point player rating system (the original game was limited to a 7-point system).

Gameplay Revisioned. The gameplay has been adjusted for a more realistic modern hockey feel, with harder to score goals, easier to hit crossbars and posts, more realistic speed burst, fewer penalty calls, custom energy depletion and recovery rates (balanced for more realistic line rolling and shift length), and player rating distribution curves that have been carefully calibrated for more realistic gameplay on the ice.

Graphical Refinements. Logos & Uniforms have been meticulously coloured to be as accurate and immersive as possible, players now have taped composite sticks, and hundreds of other graphic refinements have been made including title screens, banners, player photos, scoreboard, audience, face-offs, player sprites, ice markings, coaches, scorekeepers, Zamboni driver, and more. The goal is to bring the most graphically refined version of NHL 94 ever made, while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original art direction.

And so much more! Of course there is the weight bug fix, but also a custom weight scale, less variance in Hot/Cold rating randomization, immediate goalie control by pressing the (Y) button with a six-button controller, a custom 3-Stars of the Game rating formula…

Released only in Japan and the USA, Castlevania Symphony of the Night never received a localization in Europe. It is now done. Join Richter and Alucard and fight the forces of evil. The game is 100% translated into French.

Goof troop is a great game for the Super Nintendo; however the never ending “PRESS START” blinking endlessly during game play is found to be annoying especially under a 1 player game.

This is a simple hack that remove the blinking “PRESS START” in both 1 and 2 player game.

This hack was very easy to do and is the first ever Super Nintendo game hack done by Surf.Bluecrab.

Konami GB Collections were a very early dip into colorizations of Game Boy games. Unfortunately, many of them were marred with crappy palette selection and terrible tile work. This patch is a first step in providing better quality color releases of the individual games in these collections, resulting in a definitive experience.

Other hackers (tidi, hiro1112 and Ugetab) have created hacks that provide autoboot, whip retainment, and speed-up hacks that have greatly improved quality-of-life. Those patches are included in this all version (richirobot), as well as the following improvements:

• Almost every enemy sprite has been re-colored in some way.
• The main character sprite has been redrawn and re-colored.
• The fully-powered whip fireball was given actual fireball colors.
• Candle color was changed, and the design was reduced in size.
• Color palettes for every level were altered to make the game more realistic, also resulting in better blending of objects into backgrounds.
• Health bar was changed to a solid red rather than a color changing system, consistent with other Castlevania titles.
• Inclusion of the “autoboot+speed+whip hack” by richirobot (with credits to tidi, hiro1112 and Ugetab) here.
• Removed the ability to reboot the game to the selection menu using Start+Select+A+B.
• Removed the ability to go back to the game selection menu at the title screen by pressing Select.

Hopefully this provides an experience more consistent with other “DX” quality releases.

A group effort from our Breath of Fire hacking discord. It aims to bring the outdated feel of Breath of Fire 1 up to the standards of the future games. Many changes have been made to names, balance, gameplay, and even a few quality of life improvements.

Quite a bit has been ported from the Breath of Fire Improved hack on gba, but since far more is known about the snes rom all of the limitations of that hack could be addressed properly in this one. And of course the improvements from War of the Goddess that were donated already make the snes game superior to the gba version now.

After many hours of hard work, paul_met, aishsha and Pennywise present a completed translation of Tactics Ogre for the Sega Saturn. One might consider it the definitive version of the original game especially when the fantastic PSP translation script was ported to this project.

Please note that only the chaos route was seriously tested and there’s a good chance of copy/paste and/or formatting errors present in the script. The team would appreciate that they be reported if any are found.

Originally released in Japan as “Ai no Densetsu: Olympus no Tatakai,” which translates to “The Legend of Love: The Battle of Olympus,” Battle of Olympus offers a compelling indie metroidvania experience by drawing inspiration from both Greek mythology and the second entry of a certain well-known video game series.

Play as Orpheus as you seek to rescue your girlfriend after she was kidnapped by Hades. Along the way, solve challenging puzzles and navigate complex mazes to encounter the Greek gods and earn their favor along with new abilities.

• Olive drops increased to sixteen times the original amount.
