Okay, so...how exactly have you been working on this hack "for a long time" if you only just recently learned how to use a hex editor?
More importantly, how are you "on the brink of finishing it" if you haven't actually done any of the work you need to do on the enemies and bosses?
As for deadlines...well. I'm rather amused at the thought of a romhacker with a deadline. I mean, unless there's a evil-faced moon (or similar catastrophe) about to crash down on your head, there's really no ironclad force that could impose a "deadline" on you, and if an evil-faced moon is about to crash down on your head, then trying to rope an experienced hacker into doing your entire project for you (and stretching the truth about your own hacking accomplishments) seems like a rather questionable use of your time, doesn't it?
