Recommended Rom Improvement Hacks Tricks 1. Dr Mario for NESGetting wives to play video games can be daunting, my wife loves Dr. Mario but hates that I am a combo machine and am always dropping punishment pills on her side. This hack removes the punishment pills and makes the game more like 2 player tetris. Now my wife wants to play every night, here is the patch http www. Download Contra Rom Snes' title='Download Contra Rom Snes' />GB, SNES and other versions of this patch also2. Castlevania 4 for SNESThere is a nice hack for this that restores all of the censored graphics and fonts from the japanese version back to the american version. Download Contra Rom Snes' title='Download Contra Rom Snes' />All the crucifixes are back on the graves, and level 8 is all blood instead of green slime as it should be. All changes are graphical and all of them are official from konami, it just makes the game just a little sexier http www. Ninja Gaiden 3 for NESThe american version of this game was brutally difficult because there were limited continues and no passwords. The Japanese version of this game had unlimited continues and a passwords system. This hack updates the american version to be a bit more fair in the challenge by restoring the japanese continue system. No other changes made, just makes the game more fun http www. Gyromite for NESThis game was used with ROB the robot who controlled the AB buttons via player 2. So unless you have a friend, the regular rom of this game is really hard to play. This is a patch that puts all controls on the player 1 controller making it easily playable without a second controller and skilled toes http www. Alex Kidd in Miracle World for Master System. This is a trick The rom version of this game for SMS has a lingering problem of the JUMPACTION buttons being switched out opposite of mario style, UHG why do programmers do this. Anyway, If you remember, Alex Kidd was built into the Master System version 2, and if you started the system with no game cart, it would load Alex Kidd. On THAT version, the jumpaction controls were correct. SO, if you want a more playable version of the game, find the Master System Version 2 BIOS rom and run THAT file as the game on retropie. It loads completely normal and has the correct control layout. Since bios are considered roms, youll have to find this one yourselfEDITThere is now a romhack to reverse controls on the official rom in case you dont want to run system bios as a game https www. Mario Advance 4 for GBARemember the GBA E Reader No Maybe Well as the Nerd would say, it was a pile of steaming goat s Anyway, the E reader unlocked an additional 3. Now, if you ever played this game on the Wii Virtual Console, youll notice that all 3. Neat right Well even neater, the virtual console file was simply an updated GBA rom and an included emulator. A crafty modder found a way to create an IPS patch for this game which brings all this updated content to a GBA rom you can play on an emulator. All e reader content, no e reader. Nice. Well, I am posting a link to the romhacking article so you can read about how it worked, but unfortunately because the IPS file contained copyrighted material, it was removed. Of course, with some crafty google searching, you should be able to find it if you really want to play it http www. Castlevania 2 for NESCastlevania 2 Simons Redaction is a version of Castlevania 2 where all of the weird, cryptic and useless things the towns people say has been replaced by actual clues as to how to play the game. Makes the game playable without needing nintendo power. It also speeds up the day to night transition text so the interruption is a little less annoying. This should be considered the definitive version of this game http www. Mega Man Wily Wars for Genesis. This is an EU only game, which means its PAL exclusive and runs at 5. This patch updates the rom to run at NTSC 6. This patch also updates the bullet speed vs walk speeds and fixes the saving problem on wily tower the bonus you get when you complete all 3 games. This hack takes an otherwise crappy Mega Man game and makes it actually pretty decent http www. Donkey Kong NESWOW you got the high score, its youre best ever But oh, dang, next time you start the game, all scores are wiped clean. Well, thats dumb. This patch adds sram saving to Donkey Kong to save those precious high scores http www. Super CThe US version of this game only had a code for 1. This IPS updates the code to give you 3. Contra. Unfortunately this hack doesnt fix the weird code they put there in place of the classic Konami Code, but at least its the correct amount of lives now www. Recommended Homebrews All free to download.

It combines Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 together into one large game, adds Knuckes and Tails as well as all the skills associated with both. Sonic Heros on modern systems. This is seriously one of the best hacks out there It doesnt come as an IPS because its too complicated, only in full form, but its easy enough to find with a google search https www. Ba. SFDCfk. Sonic 3 Complete This is the combo of Sonic 3 and Sonic Knuckles that should have existed in the 9. This hack is the equivalent of connecting Sonic 3 and Sonic Knuckles, but it lets you exit back to a main options menu to let you play Sonic 3 as released, Sonic Knuckles as released, or the combo of the 2 games. It also allows for options of using classic music from older games title theme, victory theme, super sonic theme, knuckles theme, etc all of which is better. It also allows you to use the strike dash from Sonic CD or the complete controls from the awesome recent Sonic releases on mobile. Its a fantastic hack and really the definitive version of Sonic 3 Heres the romhacking article about it www. But youre best to find the pre patched rom somewhere on google. Cz. RKo. LC8. Ur.
