Hey everyone!

I've had an idea to do a speedrunning marathon based on romhacks for a while now, but never got around to making the thread until now. Romhacks are ways of bringing a new sigh of fresh air to retro games. Some of the games with the most romhacks include Super Metroid, Super Mario 64 and Pokemon Fire Red. Though definitions of romhacks to differ from person to person, so I will leave that up to your decision.

Quote:
ROM hacking is the process of modifying a ROM image (usually of a video game) to alter the game's graphics, dialogue, levels, gameplay, and/or other elements. This is usually done by technically inclined video game fans to breathe new life into a cherished old game, as a creative outlet, or to make essentially new unofficial games using the old game's engine.

That's what I personally consider to be a romhack. Honestly, I love romhacks and plan to speedrun a Super Metroid romhack in the not-so-distant future. If anyone is interested in joining, just send me a PM or just let me know here. Anyone is welcome to join. There's no complicated signup just a simple questionnaire.

Like I said, anyone is welcome to join. When you join, I'll send you a PM so we can swap skype details and once we get a group of people, we can start the marathon event...hopefully! Though please, no randomizers. We can do randomizer races probably post-stream.
Thanks for reading this.
Have a good day.

I'm curious in the case of Minecraft how/if Modded minecraft would fit your definition.

I personally don't think that Minecraft would fit the term "romhack".
Various mods which reconstruct Minecraft might work though. Something along the lines of Minecraft 2D or Ultra Hardcore might be able to work as a part of the romhack speedrunning marathon.
oh yea
