About the ROM Hacking forum

Rules by Hiroshi Sotomura, and originally drafted and edited by Pazuzu, Mau Reese, Jeremy and Manipulation.

Welcome to the general ROM hacking forum! Here, you may discuss the ROM hacking scene, discuss affairs, get help, learn how to do things, as well as collaborate with others!

Forum rules

To make sure that things remain civil, and to make sure that everyone has an enjoyable time, we ask that, along with the global PokéCommunity rules, you observe the rules and resulting infractions set forth.

Do not post, direct users to, or link to commercial ROMs of any sort.
Regardless of whether a new hacker needs them or any other purpose, you may not link to a "download" of any commercial game (basically, any commercially sold that we ROM hack in here), or direct users to any method to downloading a ROM.
You may be infracted (three permanent infraction points) or risk immediate suspension of your account, should you link to commercial ROMs of any sort.
