Why not hack games other then pokemon?

Pokémon is the most fun. Advance map makes me feel drawing while Hex Editing for adding something makes me feel sick. APE is pretty nice too. Hacking Hexadecimals using a Hex Edior is very boring and do not let you have very much fun.

I've played a Mario hack that was awesome.

I've also played a Pokemon hack. It was crap.

You can't base things off one point of view.

I know that.

Mario cannot be fully hacked. I think so.
By the way, I played a lot of Pokemon hackS. They were crap.
 
Well probably because. This is a Pokemon Forum....XD;;.. that's why there is a lots of hack all about Pokemon. :DDD. But another reason is there are soo many tools that can be used for hacking pokemon. :PPP... And the other games have just a few tools. :<.. So it's better to hack Pokemon. XD;;

Some people have a different sense of fun than you have…
 
I can't even hack worth of my time. Sure it's Pokemon , I have plans Pokemon but I couldn't hack it on my own.

First, I wanted to make a Boys over Flowers spoof Pokemon hack, not a good spriter or a scripter.

Then, the Rijon Touhoumon hack using Japanese Fire Red, went no where but wasting hours of time with other projects.

I have fun using other Pokemon utlities and edit maps, attacks, movesets, but scripting isn't one of them.

I have hacked many Non-Pokemon in the past 4 years but my current one is Megaman 4. YuGiOh Dark Duel Stories would be in the future if I dump all data.

This is true, but conversely you will find that the games are very well documented. Generally if you have a question (and don't mind mucking around with a hex editor) you can get a question satisfactorily answered either by asking or by looking around.
 
I actually started hacking this SNES game called EarthBound. Loads of fun, making a weird game weirder. There's an online community similar to this one (albeit smaller) on Starmen.net, where I sometimes go. They have tools similar to the Pokemon ones.
 
i have an idea :)
why dont hack the pokemon game into something different? :p
maybe combining pokemon with digimon, lets call it dikemon (digital pocket monster) :)
or something like Final Fantasy creature, such as shiva, efreet, odin, etc.

too bad i have no idea how to hack T_T, maybe someone want to try :)
 
Some people actually do post other hacks here, such as Super mario world and Fire Emblem, but alot of people don't because their either scared they'll get in trouble, or because they don't think they'll fit in/be successful, or because they just don't want to know how.
 
People hack other games... I've thought about hacking Oracle of Seasons, or one of the other Zelda Gameboy games, and my friend hacks super Mario world.

I posted a few threads on Non-Pokemon hacks. But I didn't feel like it anymore. I rather talk about it than showing off.
 
Actually, there are lots of other games that are hacked. Before starting my Project (unannounced here yet) I worked on Many Super Mario World Hacks. I mean, lunar magic, that's almost every tool you would need to hack (and most only used it) right in one. Also, Fire Emblem, Megaman, Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Zelda A link to the past, the genesis/mega drive sonic games get hacked a lot too.

But, Super Mario World and Pokemon are by far the most hacked games, mainly cause it's the easiest. Plus, Pokemon is here cause it's a pokemon community.
 
Mega Man seems good but the community isn't supported much. Not too many people hacked the game like it should like Rockman No Constancy or Mega Man Forever.

Newbies often ask questions but never EVER touched the hex editor.
 
I'm an administrator for the only Golden Sun hacking community on the internet :3

It's small, but gaining momentum. I've hacked the game in various ways, but like Pokémon, I always end up hacking the music more than anything else.

Many other games are hacked. FE's a pretty big one, not quite as big as Pokémon but definitely a notable amount hack the game.

a lot of people hack supermario world on the snes. smwcentral.net
