[NES] Metroid 1 hack - "Metroid - Rogue Dawn" - Version 1.21

[Thirteen 1355]

Wow, please stop this at once. I know I got banned from Metroidconstruction for saying this on another thread, but:

There's no point in discussing this. There's a chance Nintendo takes it down. Grimlock is happy to take the risk for himself and for us, creating an amazing piece of work. No need to discuss it. This is the situation.

[Sikkan]

Alright, so just to be 100% sure, these are the names as they are being inserted. Please double check them because otherwise they're being pasted into the ROM from this list verbatim.

@J^P, the font does not have a carat.

[John Enigma]

^Sorry.

I haven't been to RHDN in a while.

[Thirteen 1355]

May I ask what problem was most commonly addressed by the beta testers?

Why would you get banned for saying that? Some super strict moderators there. Anyway the chances of anything happening to this project are slim. Most of the ones that got taken down by nintendo were very large ones with a large social media following. Metroid rogue dawn doesn't have nearly those numbers. It's nothing new anyway I remember awhile back a pokemon online game got taken down too by them, it must have been over ten years ago

[Thirteen 1355]

I suppose they thought I was only making it worse. Maybe they were right, it doesn't matter for this thread.

But I agree with Optomon: "The less you speak of it, the less they can google it."
So please, can we move on?

Ah yeah sorry about that, I was just throwing my two cents in. I'll probably stream me failing at playing this once it's released to the public

[Zeikar]

has anyone (Nintendo or the like) taken down a patch from Romhacking.net before? If not then why worry?

[Satoshi_Matrix]

No, and I don't believe they can.
Hacks and fan translations in of themselves are not illegal, and unlike some morally gray jerk hackers like Drakon, they are not for sale meaning no profits are being generated from their creation.

Only the ownership and distribution of roms runs into legal issues and Since all hacks and translations hosted here are patches without including the original rom/iso, there is nothing illegal here either.

What's this about Drakon?

[Tsukiyomaru0]

Here's what I say: get a proxy. Someone woho works by your side but is also another leader. In case you get threatened by Nintendo, just have your proxy take the lead and release in your instead. Then if Nintendo comes at you, you can claim you did nothing since.

And let's drop this subject, please?!

[snarfblam]

There are already other threads devoted to the Prism C&D and the subject in general.

And let's drop this subject, please?!

So please, can we move on?

Pretty please?

On the subject of this romhack: what is the estimated length?

Length of playtrough?

Spoiler

It's possible to beat beta version with ~100% item collection in ~1 hour by using clips. But first detailed playtrough can took a lot of time.

When I saw the link to get here, My eyes accidentally played a trick on me and thought the "Work In Progress" got removed. Lol!
Wishful thinking I guess. 

Still looking good! Can't wait!

He won't publically release any of his hacks, and if you want an individual copy, he demands payment. Not donations, payment. As in, he sells his hacks. This is something I fundamentally disagree with, and I'm not even sure is legal. It's one thing to pay someone for services like cart building or system modding, but rom hacks should be free.

[Trax]

Personally, I am against using underscores in a NES game end credits. Actually, I don't remember seeing underscores in any of the game's text.

It's against the law. I can say that for a fact because if you legally don't own the game that's being hacked say like, Mario, that's stealing from the party or parties that do own it.

So, about the average length of a typical Metroid sidescroller? (between 1 and a half hours and four hours)

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Personally, I am against using underscores in a NES game end credits. Actually, I don't remember seeing underscores in any of the game's text.

We're talking about names here, and so I have to vehemently disagree. Names reflect individuality no matter if it's a screen name or a real name. In fact, I would even say screen names reflect even more personality since they are chosen by the person, not chosen for the person.

I use an underscore on this forum because spaces are not an option, but lots of people use the underscore to uniquely reflect their own username, just as some use numbers, dashes, hyphens, or special characters. Nobody should be able to decide underscores should be used except for the individual. So while no underscore for me in the credits please, I fully acknowledge people's right to request that if they want it.
