Non-Pok?mon rom hacks?

[Geometric-sama]

OOI... which forum would I use for a thread about these? Would I use ROM Hacking (which is in the Pok?mon category) or Game Development (which is really for full dev)?

ROM hacking sweetie. =3 There's no rule for non-Pok?mon hacks. ^^;

Meh.. ~suggestion~

How about a forum called "Non-Pokemon Rom Hacks" under the Game Development forum, as a subforum or something?

o.o hm.. that sounds kidna cool actualy, that way people looking for Anime or other emulations can go there insted of serching threw endless other roms that they may end up not interested in =D My teacher was having a problem with that over here a few months back.

You're teacher hacks roms? o.o; That's new. =P

Well, it DOES say RomHacking/Pokemon GB Emulation.. Emulation of Pokemon is a huge factor and that rules that catagory. So its fair to the other games.. and anyone who's making a hack of them to post it in a proper non-Pokemon hack forum y'know.

And anyway, most people would think ... "WTF's a <insert game name here> hack doing in a Pokemon hack forum???"

"Rom-Hacking/Pokémon GB Emulation". (Name could be changed to "Rom-Hacking/Emulation" cause the title is a bit misleading and the description could be re-made.)
"Main Hacking/Emulation discussion".
"Documents/Tutorials".
"Tools Showcase".
"Hacks Showcase".

These forums are general Rom-Hacking forums.

So its fair to the other games.. and anyone who's making a hack of them to post it in a proper non-Pokemon hack forum y'know.

Now to quote the description of the Hacks Showcase:

Step 4: Hack Production. Everyone's welcome, and you may come and find/make a hack to fit your wishes. For Pokémon/non-Pokémon hacks. Hacks are required to be validated before showing.

Therefore there is no need for another forum just for none-Pokémon hacks.
(Which I doubt will be posted in by the amount of non-Pokémon hacks we have at the moment... zero!)

It's not against the rules, in fact it would be welcome, to see some none-Pokémon hacks there sometimes.
The Hacking forums are not restricted to Pokémon hacking only.
(But of course most hacks and topics there are about Pokémon hacking because PC is a Pokémon forum.)

And anyway, most people would think ... "WTF's a <insert game name here> hack doing in a Pokemon hack forum???"

That's obviously what you would think...
It's not a Pokémon-only-Hack forum. (As the description clearly states.)

And just to finish:

How about a forum called "Non-Pokemon Rom Hacks" under the Game Development forum, as a subforum or something?

You are aware of that Game Development has nothing to do with Rom-Hacking, right?
Game Development = Creating/Programming your own games with RPG-Maker/Sphere/Game-Maker/etc.
Rom-Hacking = Modifying existing console/handheld games by the use of Hex-Editors and Tools.

Well, if it's not strictly Pok?mon could it perhaps be moved out of the Pok?mon category? 'Cause it's really confusing.
