KevinB834 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I came across this site about a week ago and I found it pretty interesting. The thing that stood out the most is that they make ROM hack games into actual physical copy's. Example of a ROM hack game - The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds And a game that was never released - Star Fox 2 If you want to check the site out here it is - Click 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdaniel Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Honestly, as much as I'd also like to have some ROM hacks or translations on cartridge - like Star Fox 2 -, I don't like those reproduction sellers. Usually, if not always, they do not ask for permission of the hack or translation authors, most of the time they don't even credit them IIRC, with Timewarp here being an exception. Plus, things like Terranigma that did get an English release? In my opinion, that's basically $95 for a NTSC-patched pirate copy of Terranigma. Same for many of the Mega Man: The Wily Wars for Mega Drive/Genesis you find on eBay. At least you can usually get those for much cheaper than those SNES repros here. There's also the problem that several hacks/translations actually glitch out on real hardware as they were made using and for inaccurate emulators. If I'm not mistaken, the original release of Parallel Worlds had glitches on the title screen, and I'm not sure if their reproduction has had that fixed.
