this has nothing to do with programming

[Masked Dedede]

Akumajou Densetsu, make the character system like the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon games.

[SCD]

I would like to see re-translation hacks for Pokemon Red, Blue & Yellow that will change the main script to be a lot closer to their Japanese counterparts.

[Entroper]

SNES "The Firemen" (either version) -- make it so the axe man is controllable by a second player, akin to the Secret of Evermore patch that enables the dog.  Fun game but it would be so much moreso if you could play it 2P simultaneous.

[E.Signal]

I'm surprised a rom hack for this game hasn't been made yet ...... The original Bubsy for the SNES and Sega Genesis is a brutally hard game, but for the wrong reason .... the cheap 1 hit deaths. Everything you touch kills you in 1 hit. Busby II fixed that problem by allowing you to be hit 3 times before you die, If the original Bubsy had this, the game would be a lot more enjoyable and less frustrating.

[KingMike]

Personally, I don't think it was that bad.
1 hit death wasn't that uncommon in those days, and there were certainly far worse games.
The cat dying to almost everything was kind of its gimmick though. (along with giving nine lives.)
I didn't think it was that unfair (though I probably played like three worlds in at most, over half the game).
You really have to use the Glide button to get more reaction time (and also remove fall damage) to stuff, I think.

Though I'm aware it's not exactly a perfect game either. I have seen video of one badly placed checkpoint where if you don't defeat the enemy next to it first, Bubsy can spawn in an infinite death loop.

Yeah, but Sonic at least let you curl into a ball so you could keep your speed without immediately dying when you ran into something (not even counting the rings). Also, the glide? Works just fine until you run into an enemy or projectile at your height or *slightly* higher - in which case, you dead. Bubsy's speed is unbalanced compared to how vulnerable he is - if you let go of the glide at the wrong moment and collide with an enemy you couldn't see? Dead. Fall on a cactus, into a pit or into water that you couldn't see? Dead.

It could have used some more QA time, is my point.

Thunder Force 2 (MD) improvement
-Add the map function to overhead levels from the X68K version as a separate screen which also shows your current location
-Add the speed adjustment feature from Thunder Force 3 to both overhead and sidescrolling levels

An overhead NES game with this control scheme:



I would think the start and select buttons can be put to better use if an emulator has a pause function already on it. The only problem would be playing the game on an actual NES Console. You'd have no way to pause the game. However, imagining an 8 Bit Castlevania game where you could move up, down, left and right while still being able to have a character that functions the same as in a side scrolling mode would be pretty cool if it was doable.

[IAmCaptPlanet]

a hack for SNES Doom (and any other FPS on SNES for that matter) that would add a "dual analog" mode would be great

have the dpad - move/strafe, have Y&B to turn left and right, hold L for run and R to shoot, X change weapon and A accep/open

i know you can do it however in a emulator, but it would be cool for people who use actual hardware (similar could be done for GBA FPSs too!)

[Mattrizzle]

1. snes nba jam te - add music during matches like the arcade

The issue is that the announcer lines take too much space in the SNES's 64KB of audio RAM to have decent quality music. The quality and/or quantity of these samples would need to be sacrificed. However, this would be possible without sacrifices using MSU-1.

If you used a stage generator to make CV stages like Double Dragon, your idea doesn't seem so far fetched. Several CV's have already been made similarly in OpenBOR. I think the easiest way would be to use DD2 as the base rom, and just swap all sprites, background pallete, and music with those of CV. NES Richter as P1 and CV2 Simon as P2. As for changing the attack schemes, Dark function should work fine for new animations, although I don't yet know how to implement them into NES. 

[Butterhands]

A way to swap analog and D-Pad controls in the WII VC channels.

[Poppler]

- A hack for Contra III: Alien Wars to fix the missing floor bug after the fire scene in Level 1 (surprised nobody has fixed it yet). Could be merged with the SA-1 patch.

- A hack to be able to choose not to lose weapons after a hit in Axelay.

[drax01]

Good afternoon, I really enjoy hacks, I wanted to know if someone could do a mortal kombat 2 hack with fatalities and ladder.

Also do a simple hack of donkey kong country 4 removing the "4" and the game from the jungle book, rather leaving only donkey kong country.

Thanks.

Hold jump button to kneel, tap to jump, problem solved.

Seriously... Nobody know how swap the D-PAD and analog stick mapping in the N64 VC channel in the WII? (Not WIIu)

Doom for the SNES could be improved with an SA-1 patch

The source code for Doom on the SNES was released recently: here's a link . According to what I've heard from more knowledgeable people; the main issues causing the game's low framerate is the slow clock speed of the main CPU. In fact, people have found that the game runs faster when the CPU is overclocked in an emulator. If atleast some of the load could be transferred to the SA-1 chip (a faster version of the Ricoh 5A22 essentially), the game would run significantly better. What I am suggesting is definitely ludicrous, this would be the first SNES game with an SA-1 and a Super FX2 chip working together. That sounds too good (and stupid) to be true but I somehow have faith in the community that it would work.

I can even swap buttons in Legend of Zelda Four Swards Adventure so I can play it more comfortably on my Wii U.

Yep, but I need of do this in the WII, then I think the only way is then hacking the installation WAD. There is a way? Someone know how do it? Which WAD archive's file is involved?
