The hardest ROM hack you played?

Pokemon Shiny Gold got on my last nerve, I couldn't beat Carlos in New Bark Town or at the Pokemon League
 
Ruby Destiny - Life Of Guardians (Pokemon League) GOSH!
 
I think Pokemon Snakewood was quite difficult, even though I've only played that and Vega (but haven't made much progress in either)

On the general side, Sonic & Knuckles Master Edition is downright insane.
 
Pokemon Shiny Gold X !
'Cause you have to fight against Carlos just after beating the Champion Lance at Pokemon League , with your almost all your pokemon KO xD

I don't see anywhere where this asks about a pokemon game, so I'd have to say Cool or Cruel. The creator of this hack must have hated humanity. Took me upwards of fifty hours with savestates to beat. I threw my controller at the wall because of how one level had to be beaten... Yeah... I'd even rank this harder than an I Wanna Be The Guy hack I played...
 
Its Ruby Destiny - Life Of Guardians for me.The Final event was seriously hard.Enemies having lv.100 Legendary pokemon and battling the Ruby Destiny countless times was just frustrating.

And Snakewood comes close given its seriously high Lvs.
 
Pokemon Shiny Gold X, it was nearly impossible for carlos in the beginning of the game. Level grinding is a must. if you arent the best pokemon trainer in the UNIVERSE its hard. I quit it at the 7th gym. Its a great game though.(I played the game for 52 HOURS)
 
The hardest one i played has to be Pokemon Snakewood, i was just freaking out while playing it.
 
Hands down, hardest hack in history - Zelda Parallel Worlds. That game is pure hell and amazing for it. Heck, you don't even get the sword and shield NOR the ability to save until very late in the first dungeon! (The dungeon itself is already very challenging) Hidden mechanics such as seemingly locked doors that can't be opened, you walk through them, upgrading your sword is optional, (and can't even be done until AFTER one of the major bosses, while in the original game, you're required to have the Master Sword before that part) and the sheer challenge of the dungeons make this game unbelievably difficult!

I highly recommend this hack and prove just how hard it really is!

As for Pokemon games, I'd say Ruby Destiiny Life of Guardians provides quite a challenge. The Master 17, the final bosses, and generally the overall game is nice enough to never be too easy for you. Also Light Platinum is very well balanced and can be quite difficult if you choose to avoid trainers and/or level just the starter. Trust me, you really want to be balanced in that game.
