Hi, sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask this, but I wasn't sure where I could ask. Would anybody know how to get this hack:

https://www.romhacking.net/reviews/2299/

to work for the "0257 - Breath of Fire 2 - Shimei no Ko (J)(Eurasia).gba" version of the game? Or, contrarily, is it possible to make "Breath of Fire 2 (U)(Mode7).gba" use the Japanese script?
I don't play games often; when I get the time to, I usually hope to play the Japanese version of them so I can also get some language practice simultaneously. They also feel funner that way. The color just seems way too bright without the palette modification, though.

Thanks a lot for any help that you can provide!

request for an English translation of Maerchen Adventure Cotton 100%! It seems to mostly just be story/cutscene stuff that needs to be localized, there's actually a lot of text in English already.

It looks like 4ph finished their French translation, maybe it could be used as a base for an English project?

You should talk to bogaabogaa. He has done alot of extensive modding/hacking with SCV4 and knows the ins and outs of the games code. If anyone can put Sonia in SCV4, it would be him. I recommend getting Serio's Sonia sprites. They are a perfect match graphic wise for the stylings of SCV4. 

Thanks man, I'll reach out to him to see what he says.

Here's two ideas that popped in my head, and away we go...

1. Make a hack with the Breath of The Wild style Zelda a hero into A Link to The Past, I think that'd be interesting to see that Zelda style in 16bit.

2. Replace Bowser with Boswette in Super Mario RPG, this can be an ambitious hack in a whole new world with the editor.

I've briefly looked for existing codes and couldn't find much either... so I made one myself!
It does seem to make the game a little more fun.

And since I found the steering a bit frustrating, I looked into it and found how to alter it:

For Slalom (U).nes
- Increase the value of $B2B1 and $B2BB (up to #$3F) to reduce the inertia when you release the left/right button.
  This can make the game a lot easier.
- Increase the value of $B2C7, $B2D2, $B2DC and $B2E7 (up to #$3F) for faster steering.
  This too can make the game a lot easier.

Converted to Game Genie codes:

Reduce inertia (to the max)
YULLPX
YULULX

Faster steering (to the max)
YUGLYX
YUILZX
YUIUGX
YUTLYX

TBH, these codes make the game so much easier that it almost kills the fun, but they can be altered to lessen their effect.

This is awesome!  Thanks!  I'll try this after work, tonight.

Demon's Crest (SNES) Improvement
-Form switcing with the shoulder buttons
-Some items are better hidden instead of just lying around in easy to get to and unguarded spots, placed sort of haphazardly (for example the room at bottom of plant infested tower, room behind wall in burning forest)
-Make it impossible to miss jewels gotten from bosses
-Make some of the forms and spells more useful

[Vanya]

That reminds me of the fan game I started years.
I really need to get a new laptop so I can go back and finish it.

oooh add this to my list

Great minds think alike!

Anyone remember the Neo Geo Pocket?
SNK vs. Capcom Extended
It would be like Smash Remix.

-Hidden fighters unlocked from the start.
-Additional characters (I'd welcome guest characters, but that kinda defeats the purpose of being SNK vs. Capcom.)
-Reworked music (i.e. changing Terry's theme from KoF '97 to Fatal Fury 2 and extending the Capcom fighter themes to make them feel complete.)
-Rearranged rivals (I feel that some, if not most of them, didn't make sense.)

[CyberFox]

Simple idea
Streets of Rage with Lazor Wulf, Cannon Wulf and Blazor Wulf as the main fighters

I would like to suggest a slight speed increase for two great SNES games:

- Return of Double Dragon (Japanese version) is a great beat'em up for the SNES with a great variety of moves that could be a lot more fun with a small speed increase. A lot of people have complained over the years that it's too slow. Just a little speed increase, to be able to still appreciate the complex movelist of the game and blocking system. This could be a very popular hack among the community.
It would also be great to have the little ending text from the USA version appear in this more complete Japanese version, instead of just having the staff credits roll as you defeat the final boss of the game.

- Ranma 1/2 Chougi Ranbu Hen is a great 1on1 fighting game for the SNES based on the popular Manga/Anime of the same name, similar to Street Fighter II that has some nice graphics and good humour, but its gameplay feels a little too slow. A slight speed increase would definitely make the game more fun and one of the best fighint games on the SNES, a hidden gem. There are still being celebrated some competitive tournaments for this game in Japan.

I hope some skilled hacker could make this happen. Thank You!!

Correct color palette for the Koopalings in Super Mario World (SNES)

How they appear in game:


How they're depicted in the manual:


Can't believe how wildly off the colors are in game.

Idea for Kirby's Adventure: Arcade Mode. What it would entail? Well:

• No Save Files. Instead, a High Score board if possible.
• 4 credits (3 continues, since 1 credit is used to start).
• Time Limit (be sure to be lenient. This is Kirby after all).
• UFO stays after levels (but as a penalty, have its star poof out as soon as it appears).
• Minigames only happens after a boss and cycles between the three minigames.
• Switches instead sends you to an arena or museum (picked randomly) and ends the level.
• Two Endings, with the true final boss only accessible if you beat it in 1 credit. Otherwise, DDD time.
• Hard Mode starts as soon as you beat the true final boss.

Zeal Housewives

hack of Chrono Trigger that's just Real Housewives in Zeal

Metroid Prime

- Beam Troopers weapons have the same effects as Metroid Prime's attacks: according to online sources only the Power Trooper has an increased rate of fire from the Power beam. Replaying Prime over the years I always felt like those guys were half implemented. It does mention in the scans that they are imperfect copies of Samus weapons but still.

This would make the Wave Trooper's shots give the electrical hud scrambling effect, the Ice trooper would freeze Samus, and the Plasma would give the dot burn effect. Could maybe increase the Power's damage on top of their other ability.

- Elite/Omega Pirate improvements:
1) Making their long range bombs even more damaging with a bigger explosion AOE. They do hit hard but seem really easy to avoid. This would make getting out of range an actual threat.

2) Making them work more like Sheegoths, having to charged them up by shooting at their energy siphon before they do the wave attack where they expose themselves, rather than just waiting for them to do it.

I haven't seen much Prime hacks out there, but it seems like there are some people working on it. I'd imagine the Troopers and the Elite bombs would be easier than the siphon thing.

Well, now that someone finally found and dumped this lost piece of game history for everyone to enjoy, I hope someone can find time to translate the formerly lost McDonald's DS game.

Aren't these fixes available in hacks that have already been made?
