Many ROM hackers form or join groups, for various reasons, such as for web space to host distributed hacks and/or screenshots, for the support or collaboration of/with other members of the group, for privelaged status on the group's message board (if it has one), for the prestige associated with the group, or just for the comraderie. Once ready, they are usually distributed on the Internet for others to play on an emulator.įan translation (known as "translation hacking" in the ROM hacking community) is a type of ROM hacking this article, however, focuses on "non-translation hacking," such as editing game levels. ROM hacking is generally accomplished through use of a hex editor (a program that edits files on a binary level) and various specialized tools such as Tile editors, and game-specific tools which are generally used for editing levels, items, and the like. 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 games using an old game as a foundation. ROM hacking is the process of modifying a video game's ROM image to alter its graphics, dialogue, levels, gameplay, or other things. This message is for the benefit of Sega Retro wiki staff.
