Topic: Original Series Update Hacks?

[someguy233]

Is it possible for coders to patch the original ROMS with modified gameplay elements such as in-play weapon selectors (maybe the select button since NES controllers don't have triggers) or time trial modes?  This would be cool because it would give the old games a ton of replay value.

Seems like it'd be easier just to make a new ROM rather than try to program it into another already existing ROM.

Negative. See also, the good Megaman hacks out there.

It's probably possible, but it'd be as much effort as a brand new feature.

Expand the ROM data with hex editor or a tool specific to that ROM, direct some pointers to the new data, repeat.

kuja killer has done a lot of fun things to his MM3 hack and it adds new features too.

Look at rock5easily's Endless Attack hacks too. ^^b

Also Rockman 4: Minus Infinity.
