The Rom Hacking Newsletter Team
The Rom Hacking Newsletter Team IntroductionRHN has been having some trouble recently with regular quality articles so I decided that it was time to make an official Team Thread for it. I cannot emphasize enough the need for people who are going to be reliable. I would also like people who are somewhat experienced. Even if I have said that you are already on the team please re-apply. Current Staff

Name:Dark Wolf X
E-Mail:[email protected] MSN/AIM/YIM/ICQ:None Time Zone:I Cant Say Right Now,I Might Move Job:Reporter,Hack Reviewer Proof Of Work: Title:Rom's To Start With In GBA Hacking This Is About The Many Rom's Used In Rom Hacking.People Often Use The Ruby,Fire Red And Emerald Rom's.Though Sapphire And Leaf Green Are No Different From The Above They Were Not Used Many Times And If Were Used There Were Swithched To The Above.The Advantage In Fire Red And Leaf Green From The Other's Is Mainly For It's Good Graphics In The Advanced Generation And That They Are The Latest Release Of Pokemon From Nintendo In GBA.Ruby,Sapphire And Emerald Have Most Thing's In Common But The Emerald Rom Has Some Good Text Format's And The Scripting Of It Is Also Different From Those Of Ruby And Sapphire.I Still Recommend To Use Rom's Like Leaf Green And Sapphire Since They Are Nothing Less Than The Other Rom's. Hack Review:Pokemon Lance Adventures http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff41/theshowman20/BetaParallel1U_23.png http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff41/theshowman20/PokemonEmeraldU_12.png Hack Of Pokemon Ruby Review: This Is A Hack By Magneto20 Which Is A Sequel To Septo Conquest.This Hack Features Lance As The Main Character Which Is The First Time In Hacking But Does Not Has A Female Character Till Now And Another New Feature Is That You Can Choose Parallel Which Makes You Chose The Story Line You Want.Just Like Septo Conquest This Also Has Some Disturbing Words And Also People Die. Also It Doesnt Have Any New Tiles And A Pre-Beta For Beta Tester's Has Been Released In Public. The Map's Arent Much To Say About And They Are Just Too Plain To Talk About. I Cant Figure Out If Thier Using A Rom Base Or Not,There Are No Tiles.I Havent Actually Played The Pre-Beta So Ill Give A More Detailed Review When It Is Out Ill Give It A 1.5/5 Hacking Experience:Yes,Pokemon Carnation-Legend Of Heroes |

E-Mail: [email protected] AIM: Timezone: Eastern Time Job: Reporter Proof of Work: It's taken a while to kick the stuff, but it looks like hacks based on another game or T.V. show have become a thing of the past! Personally, I prefer playing Pokemon hacks based on the Pokemon series, but I do enjoy seeing an Easter egg every now-and-again. It was less than a year ago when hacks based on Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, etc. could be seen on every page of the forum, but this is not the case now. The hacking season has been moving slowly recently and this could be the cause for the lack of such hacks. Another, more indirect conspiraratory explanation, could be the recent pattern of updates on popular games such as Shiny Gold, Prism, etc. We all know that games such as these draw a good amount of traffic to the Hacking Forums. The slow updates could could be the cause, or lack-thereof, of such "noobish" hacks. Now, this is not to state that any game based on another franchise is "noobish" but a good deal of them are. I find myself skipping over such hacks, but this is just the opinion of a single hacker/player. So tell me, what does the rest of the community think? Hacking Experience: Pokemon: Tree of Peace P.S. I'm not quite sure if this is impeding on the job of editor, but I like to proofread, and am good with grammar, so I could look over articles before they're posted to make sure the grammar is good, the spelling is correct, and the sentences flow (even though I may have just posted a run-on...)? |

Name: Ripper
E-Mail: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Timezone: +12hrs Auckland, Wellington, Samoa etc. Job: Anything really Proof of Work: The Rom Hacking Newsletter is a weekly (usually) update for all things hacking. Edited and created by 'dshayabusa', the newsletter contains a wealth of knowledge for all your hacking needs. With reviews of current hacks, an update on any new tools created for the purpose of hacking, and also interviews with your favourite Pokecommunity celebrities, the Rom Hacking Newsletter is a must for all avid hackers. Hacking Experience: Check out my postponed hack Pokemon DNA in the hacks showcase thread. |
I'm feeling fairly bored.
Name: thethethethe E-Mail: [email protected] MSN/AIM/YIM/ICQ: Only MSN, see above Time Zone: GMT+10, I hope. East Coast of Australia. If I'm facing North, East is my right isn't it? Job: Reviewing, I guess. I've got a few scripting tips 'up my sleeve', but I'm sure you've got quite a few too. Proof of Work:This was part of something I wrote about destinedjagold's hack for something that seems to be gone now. "The storyline and scripting are the best aspects of this creation. The scripting yet, simply done, is very effective in what it tries to achieve. The music and sounds are used amazingly throughout this game. They aren't played, only for the sake of being there. They are used to evoke feelings that Time tries to achieve, and recreating the move camera script without actually moving the camera was feat in itself. The scripting was well worked to compliment its of the original storyline. But like I mentioned earlier this review isn't glowingly favourable of this hack, it does have it's problems." Hacking Experience: Umm... LoD? And really a lot of experimenting. |

EDIT: Oh, you're DNA, I knew you seemed familiar. Quote:
Seems like we've got quite a pretty good team but if you think you've got what it takes by all means apply! The more people the better! One thing I forgot to say is that we need graphic artist so RHN looks better and so we can change the style around a bit. I'll edit the first post. |
To be honest, I have no qualms with the current newsletter. It's got plenty of info and it still looks neat and tidy. Personally, the only thing I'd imagine it needs is maybe a bit more info. Maybe a preview of next week, an update of the HotW or something similar, maybe some sort of personal "You Should Play..." although it would probably end up just like a review. We could always do previews which would be of games without Betas, before reviewing each Beta upon release.

I was thinking of having a Map of the Week (from the Map Rating Thread) as well. We could have a link to the map, talk about why it won that week (what they did right etc.) and maybe even offer an award? The other thing I also wanted to talk about are the Hack Awards. How do you think it should be done? Nominations within the team and then voting? We probably won't have enough people for that to work. We also don't want to do so many reviews that we run out of hacks to review so maybe we should only have a review for a hack that wins an award from us, HOTW and one other hack that has had a recent beta release or major update. |

Sorry about my previous article,im used to typing in capital's.
Hack review: Hack name:Pokemon Colosseum Advance Hack author:dark shade Hack of:Pokemon Fire Red My Rate:2/5 Screen Shots: http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=682&pictureid=8378 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=682&pictureid=8379 http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=682&pictureid=8380 Review: As you see from the name itself it's the GBA remake of Pokemon Colosseum from Game Cube,but the story is edited.It is based on "shadow" pokemon that are pokemon which are not evil but have no feelings and emotions.A feature about this hack is that if trainer's have a "shadow" pokemon you can catch them with a "Snag" ball.The mapping is very poor and the tiles are not much as well to start with and i cant tell about the scripting because no video has been shown.A disadvantage of the hack is that you get less freedom to move around and the one's you get to move around is for catching pokemon. The "shadow" pokemon spriting seem's is the best part of the hack to me.This is the end of my review hope you like it. |

On another note, the Map of the Week idea is great. I was thinking of just the same thing before you posted it. That'll also give reviewers more of a chance to, well...review! =) Also, I've got some free time. I could make a chart for the standards of reviewing. I mean, like the categories for giving ratings (i.e. Graphics, Scripts, etc. and how to decide the score of x/5). |
Quote:
I think on ratings, it should probably something similiar to an average, or possibly just give three ratings from three different people. |

Anyways... I have a question... What will be a graphic artist's job be? I might join if I can do better with Photoshop. :P |

Just asking because I wont be back into the hacking 'business' for a little above a week;
What would the Non-Pokemon hack reviewer be reviewing? |

Okay I get it...(Fire emblem; we meet again.)
I'll try and get an application out soon...soon |

E-Mail: [email protected] MSN/AIM/YIM/ICQ: [email protected] Time Zone: UTC+8 Job:Hack reviewer Proof of Work: Ok here is a review i made on Frostbite's Azure horizon: "From the variety of screenshots, we can see that the maps are very original especially the map of the gym with the laser gate which has caught my attention. In my opinion the maps of the towns looks great with the street lamps providing a more realistic feeling to the town. I don't know how good the scripts are as the beta haven't been released yet and I hope they will be as good as the maps. With the introduction of a few features from Diamond and Pearl,new music and sprites, it would be interesting to see how this hack would turn out.

But on another note, how's this going to work dshayabusa? Are you going to chose what hacks are being reviewed, or is something else happening? |
Weird, I could've sworn I answered these.
