Hi all. I know it was kinda rude to not introduce myself so, I am a DJ who just recently started romhacking. I have had a soundcloud account for awhile, but most of the mixes there are pretty old. I have alot more remixes in my personal collection. I get multiple versions of the same song, and/or mashups. Then I take them apart, and reassemble my favorite parts into my own personal remix, using Audacity, and Cool Edit 2000.
My freinds say I am a master at what I do. "I eat Zomboy and Skrillex, digest, and S*** out EPIC!"
I don't know why I started romhacking. I just thought it would be something else, that was cool and constructive, that I could do for other gamers, as well as myself. At first I just started by experimenting with what IPS I could get to work on my PC, and more recently my newly CFW Modded PSP.
Then I discovered certain patches could be combined to make even better hacks! Then I found out about the DSVania Editor.
Shortly after getting it, I made my first romhack: Castlevania - Harmony Of Dissonance NGP. I found out that all of the combined hacks I was playing could be shared, see as they weren't posted anywhere.
SOTN is my favorite CV. And Castlevania is my favorite game series of all time. My second is Mega Man/Mega Man X. I have been playing all different types of videogames since I was 2 yrs old. I had an Atari.
I have also known about OCRemix, VGMix, RemixKWED, and RTS for a looong time.
I don't really have that much skill with programming or hex editing. But, with the right user interface, (like DSVania, or Audacity), I am very ingenuitive. I can't spell!
I even thought maybe with photoshop and tilemolestor, backgrounds could be implemented from one game to another.
I mean it's not like it hasn't been done before. Right? How hard would it be to use a Rom Expander on PSX SOTN, Photoshop the Saturn Backgrounds for the missing Garden/Prison areas, and use entity editor to add extracted Saturn sprites to the newly posted backgrounds??? Even make a fifth ending using the unused audio. Open a 3rd character slot for Maria? Build a whole new "Outside the castle area" in HOD using outer wall tiles from all across the game!
These are the kind of things I want to make happen in hacks. It's nice to meet you all.
