Hey romhacking community! I've been a fan of this website for a while, and feel that it's time that I make my mark. I'm interested in learning everything there is to know about hacking roms (if there is such a s thing lol). Besides a little spriting and hex editing here and there, I honestly know little to nothing about rom hacking, but I'm sure I'll meet some awesome folks who'll show me the ropes.

My dream is to create the a hack using Aria/Dawn of Sorrow as a template. I eventually want to recreate the Demon Castle War of 1999. I've messed around with it for a while, but I can't seem to get the hang of it. I also would love to translate a bunch of japanese titles, but until then, I hope to have fun and meet some cool people. See you guys around!

Welcome. I hope you'll success in making an AOS or DOS hack, those are the best two games of the series in my opinion (maybe just precessed by Super CV IV by a small tad).

I remember THAT one hack for Aria of Sorrow which makes DeJap's inserted sexual jokes in Tales of Phantasia look tame by comparison.. Which still infuriates me, as I don't even get how to find either the text or the font itself for all three gba castlevania games

(well, five, didn't count both Shaman King Master of Spirits -even it's a bit of a stretch?- Those two didn't have a Japanese version (despite "English Translation" being clearly shown in the credits), it would be interesting to see how an En>Jp fan-translation would turn out They have fonts and text unencrypted too)...

But, back on topic, it's nice to see someone is at least willing to treat Aria of Sorrow with the respect it deserves. 
Welcome
