I’m trying to play the #FrontMission (Japan) #ROM with the English fan translation patch. Here's what I’ve done so far:

✅ Verified that the original ROM matches the required hash (using the correct Japanese version).

✅ Applied the English patch successfully (IPS/BPS).

✅ Manually padded the ROM to exactly 4MB / 4,194,304 bytes, as required by the patch instructions.

✅ The #game loads and plays the intro, but when I press Start, it loops the intro again.

✅ If I let the intro run all the way, I can reach a menu, but selecting "Start Game" just resets to the intro.

✅ Using #RetroArch with various #SNES cores (#Snes9x, #bsnes, #bsnesmercury).

✅ Tried deleting save states and reloading from scratch.

Any ideas?

"I've released Game Boy Camera Manager, a tool that could be considered the swiss knife of GB Camera data management.
It can export and import pictures, edit meta data, inject custom printable frames to the ROM and much more!"

There seems to be a severe lack of #RomHacking tools on #Linux, and I suddenly got an urge to play around with some #GameBoy #roms. Specifically some simple sprite or tile editing.

But, like... that's basically just a matter of displaying an array of 2-bit values as texels, letting the user change the values, and then saving the data to a new file?

I can just make a platform agnostic web app for that in #JavaScript?

I have come across a fairly rare ROM hack of Tekken 3.

"TEKKEN 3 от Golden Leon" is a ROM hack of Tekken 3 described with "extra 23 characters and much more".

There seems to be 2 variations of this ROM, being one with Russian and English UI.

I finally got the English ROM, dumped from a disc I got from a neighbour labelled "Tekken 4".

You can find the Russian ROM somewhere on Reddit, but I haven't found anyone dumping the English version, so I did it myself.

There's a couple gameplay videos of the ROM hack itself but it never really matched the dump I have, so this one is definitely unique. Took me a while to dump since the disc was badly scratched,
cdrdao was definitely struggling and I finally managed to dump it using an ASUS external DVD drive. #bootlegs #bootleggaming #romhacking
