Revision as of 04:23, 26 January 2009
Template:TotD This helpful tool brought to by the PJCL (working title) project. Please join this group or create your own! --Cat Lover 18:46, 23 April 2007 (EDT)
Updates?
Is the main page ever going to be updated?
It seems to be a shame that very few people seem to care about this site. It has been almost a year since the main page has been updated. I think that more people would contribute to this site if there was any sign of life from a moderator or owner or whatever.
We should also get a new logo and state what major websites give info to this wiki
Is anyone who has control over the site still here?
Dutch Allies...
Why don't we ever link to Magic Stone, our dutch(?) ally? Also, we got anymore alternate languages? --Cat Lover 18:08, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
Maybe because noone here knows Dutch ;) But actually there is a link on the left... I'll assume it was added after your post.
Update!
I have just updated all the game systems on the left, plus Xbox, to be indexed by hacked-ness. See Help
ROM Hacks Classification
I think it would be a good idea to add a kind of code for ROM Hacks, according to what is actually modified in the hack compared to the original game. Text, graphics, levels, sound, gameplay, etc. And integrate this code as a taxobox item. What do you think? -- Trax 17:20, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
Super Mario World for NES
There is a really strange and cool homebrew version of SMW ff That ROM is incredibly hard to find but it's possible - I found it somehow.
IRC Channel
There are no chat rooms on IRC. And noone's ever in the channel either.f Oh well.
Value display formats
I think there should be a format for displaying values, namely Hexadecimal and Decimal. f I know with some of the work I do, I like to see both rightf next to each other. Not only is it helpful if your math isn't so great, but it increases the readability for any newcomers to hacking. With some of the RAM maps I've been modifying, I've generally used $Hex(Dec), though I've been working with the 0x[HEX] as well. I'm not sure which one should be used, but that can be discussed. f In all honesty, I like the idea of using the 0x format for the addresses and the $Hex(Dec) format for value listings.
Ex:
0x0015 -- Lolo's X position -- Always equal to 0x006D plus $0C(12). Not directly changeable.
Of course, it'd look much nicerfff in the chart; This is about the format of displaying values. Any feedback or comments on this would be greatly appreciated. Being an occasional organization zealot, I'm gung-ho to set a format in place and go to some of the other, less kempt pages and correct them. ^_^
P.JBoy - The way I have it: "adding numbers" (would be used for positions/momentums/health etc.) would be shown as decimal and "oring numbers" (powers of 2, would be used for button input/equiptment status etc.) would be shown as hexadecimal
Rycona - Makes sense. I sometimes make my own programs for analyzing data, depending on the situation, and since I'm lazy, I don't write the code to rework the decimal it displays into hex (which would take about 1 1/2 minutes >_<). You make a very strong argument, though. Anything more geared toward being process through more binary routines should be displayed in just Hex. I personally still have the mind set of showing all other values, or "adding numbers," as both just so you have both to work with depending on what kind of work you're doing, what suits you best, and general readability (especially for lower-level hackers such as myself).
Article Removal
The Rockman No Constancy/wikid/index.php page should probably be removed/cleared. Just a suggestion. --Rycona 12:21, 18 January 2008 (EST) ffffff
zophar.net
ff They have a lot of hackfing tools that'll populate empty articles and add more to what's already here.
Also, romhacking.net is another of those places that are trying to centralize the scene.

January is Community Discussion Month!
It's almost june now though ;) --Frantik 02:59, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
That message is actually from January 2007. --Case 12:18, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
The SPAM problem...
Is there anybody left here who actually has the power to fdo something about this? Like turn off non-logged-in editing and then be able to ban users who spam if they decide to set up accounts. It seems like almost every edit now is a spammer or someone removing the sfpam. :P --Case 12:22, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
- -_- I am very Sorry. I have been quite negligent in kfsion and installed/updated some anti-spam extensions. Hopefully that will greatly limit new spam. If the anti-spam measures are annoying to normal users, please complain here so I can address those issues.
- Users can help by using Template:spampage to mark pages that currently have spam that I miss.

N64???????
There is a nice handfull of editors out there for n64 games. Zafum 00:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
What does thifs site need?
Zafum 01:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC) - Here are a few things this site needs:
N64 game sections and things
There are (like i said above) a few N64 editors out there.
Emulator sections
If this is about rom hacking couldn't we at least include information about the emulators?
A much much much much much much muchf much much much much much much much much more lively main page
the most important thing in this site is the homepage. if the homepage is bad then people will come and say "Oh look! This site looks horrible!", and leave. Currently, the main page stinks.
pages
I think every page on this site looks horrible and not much is being done about it. If the site is fixed quickly instead of slowly then things will work out much better.
Recent downtime
Apologies for the recent downtime. Our host had some troubles with their hosting company and ending up moving to a new server. Please notify me if anything did not get transferred properly. --AnyoneEB 03:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Needs moar console variety
As stated, we need moar console variety. I've had that hidden BREAKDOWN page up for a looooooong time now and after having devoted some time to considering it, a lot of XBOX games are probably just as exploitable. Thus, I think an XBOX category should be added, as well as several others as they become of interest, which doesn't seem to be happening at the moment. --NLA
- Okay, I added links to the Xbox category on the main page and sidebar. What other consoles do you think should be added? BTW, is there a standard three letter abbreviation for Xbox or is just "Xbox" fine? --AnyoneEB 03:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
