    Ever think, “Hey, what if you could…?” for a game you’ve played before?

    Are you a seasoned hacker interested in contributing to the growing and needed space of Final Fantasy V hacks?

    Are you just someone new who’s looking to take a stab at game hacking?

    Are you a fan of classic Final Fantasy?

    We are holding our very first hack jam with a focus on Final Fantasy V for the SNES/Super Famicom, and we want you to join!

    Whether you’re thinking of something grandiose in scale, such as significant story or mechanical tweaks…

    Or you’re more interested in changing some graphics, maybe inserting a new sprite or customizing existing ones…

    Or maybe you want to change some of the wording because you thought some translated thing was a bit strange?

    Binary editor, assembly hacker, or totally new and just looking to try some tools that will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, you are welcome!

    No hack idea is too small. And the community will vote on the top hacks (or, if you want don’t want your hack voted on, that’s okay, too!).

    If it turns out this is your thing, we have a forum channel where modders help each other. We even have a hacking academy for eligible members.

    Our community of modders has released mods for numerous Final Fantasy titles (and others of various genres and across several platforms), and we’d be happy to provide feedback and assistance in the forum channel as you need it.

    For any players or hackers interested, you can find more info in one of the related posts below. Cheers, and may we build something great together!

  • Myrient Announces Shutdown

    Site Cost Owner $6,000+ Per Month to Run After Donations

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    The video game “archive” offers curated collections of games that include allegedly illegally hosted roms and even romhacks.

    According to Time Extension, which covered the story:

    The irony of blaming AI – a technology that is famously built on the widescale theft of human-made content – for the closure won’t be lost on those who take a dim view of ROM-sharing websites….

    According to Hackaday in its coverage:

    Although finances are the main reason for this hobby project to be shut down, it’s due to (paywalled) download managers that  have recently appeared, and which completely bypass the donation requests and similar on the website.

    According to Myrient:

    What is Myrient?

    Myrient is a video game archive where you can download content from our wide variety of collections to use in emulators and on real systems.

    What makes Myrient different?

    We focus on accessibility with fast download speeds, no limits on downloads, no ads shown, and no registration needed.

    Is Myrient safe?

    Yes. All content is verified before being added to Myrient by comparing the hash of every file against lists of hashes of known good copies to see if they match.

    What does “Myrient” mean?

    Myrient is a portmanteau of the words “myriad” and “entertainment”, referring to the countless amount of video game content that is difficult to access or no longer available legitimately.

    Vimms Lair broke the news on X, citing a Discord post:
