Mega Man 4: Free of Charge is a hack that removes the charge shot, often considered to have broken the pace of the classic Mega Man gameplay. It also lowers HP on a number of enemies to around the level of their MM2/3 counterparts (Capcom buffed a lot of enemies into bullet-sponge territory in order to make the charge shot useful) and makes various other small changes to try to restore the tempo of the earlier games.

A full English translation of the 2008 NDS game Spice and Wolf: My Year with Holo (based on the hit light novel/anime series of the same name) has been released!
The first of two Japan-exclusive games for the console, My Year with Holo follows the adventures of the player, an uncanny look-alike of series’ protagonist Kraft Lawrence, on his travels with harvest deity-cum-giant wolf Holo, as they travel around seeking clues to the whereabouts of Holo’s long lost hometown.
Part business simulator, part dating game, it features an interesting mix of trading and romance mechanics alongside a non-linear story with 12 possible endings. Take the reins to explore the charms of a pseudo-Medieval world, with Wisewolf Holo as your travel guide!

Version 1.0 of The Legend of Zelda disassembly has been completed! This project contains assembly language source code that can be assembled with ca65. The code has been fully labeled and commented.
This project started with an effort to remake the game in C++. The remake was completed in 2017. But the related reverse engineering effort was poorly documented. It was in October 2020 that the attempt at a complete disassembly began.
Version 1.0 is on the RHDN project page. Up-to-date source code of the disassembly and the remake can be found at the link below.

In a span of 2 months, the romhacker BMatSantos managed to bring the Mario Brothers’ first adventures to Brazilian Portuguese. Motivated by his passion, the series’ 35th anniversary and a common local misconception that “Bros” is Mario’s surname, he went on to translate Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 (NES) and Lost Levels (FDS), with help along the way from the graphic editor Kosmus.
Although there were other Portuguese fan translations for them already, what makes these versions different is the decision to not spare any terms from being adapted – from the big title logo to the small “1UP” eyecandy. (The only exceptions were some character names on the later games, due to the lack of a better or cooler name for them.) Also, thanks to the previous work of disassembly projects, it was easier to adjust some quirks in order to make bigger changes feel more natural.
You can check the latest translation (Super Mario Bros. 3) on the project page link, and the other ones on BMatSantos’ profile.

Svambo (one of the creators of ArkanEdit) helped fix powerup bugs in levels 75, 84, 96, and 98 of the Mega Man Arkanoid hack. Those levels can be played with glitches removed (including powerups now able to be found on level 75 where there were none before). Sorry for the issue for those that may have encountered it.

Tomorrow, speedrunner vanni_van will play the first full romhack of Neutopia, made by sveniroth. vanni_van holds the world record for all three catergories and sveniroth holds 2nd place in all three categories. The primary goal of the romhack is to demonstrate an alternative way to randomize the game and solve three flaws of the current beta randomizer:
1) Require all bosses to be defeated, not just the last two. 2) Make weapon and armor upgrades match the difficulty of the enemies. 3) Limit the bell (a skeleton key item) to the final area.
Comments, reviews, and feedback are greatly appreciated.
