I used to be into ROM hacking, too; it was a very fun way to kill time. Though, I wound up quitting eventually, as I could not successfully learn how to script. Did write some things that would actually work, but had to go through plenty of trouble to actually have them working, which I actually didn't want to go through. Wish I had rather practiced than stopping all-together; after all, this is what perfects our skills!
Speaking of which, is there any ROM hack you've particularly enjoyed playing? For me, it's got to be Ruby Destiny: Life of Guardians, as I found its plot to be pretty intriguing. I'm also a fan of Light Platinum, due to how much effort they had put in terms of graphics and whatnot, which I do appreciate (and I'm sure many others).
Anyway, welcome to PC, dear! Hope you have a lovely stay here, and I'm always here for you if you ever need anything; feel free to drop a message on my profile any time!
