Writes Neo fresh off of clearing Dragon Quest I on stream (playlist here):
Time to play the legendary JRPG that started it all!
The first Dragon Quest game, this will be a playthrough stream of the SNES version of the game!
However this time it’s randomized by my fellow friend, youtuber and Rom hacker @cIymax!
This Rom hack is called Dragon Quest: Ablaze and I will be doing a blind speed run of it!
The finale of the stream will be a giveaway of @cIymax’s version of this hack for the NES version of Dragon Quest I, the amount of copies given will be determined by how many likes this stream gets!
The Speedrun.com submission is here.

A respinner, also called a respin hack, is a romhack that lets you easily respin game elements for a different gameplay experience.
The term “respinner” in this context was coined by clymax in 2026 to better differentiate such mods from randomizers, the vast majority of which are external, web-based or app-based randomizers rather than integrated, internal, or self-randomizers.
In addition, the term “repatcher” was also coined by clymax to refer to external randomizers.
Resetting the romhack and trying a new seed is analogized to respinning a roulette wheel to get a new result.
All known respinners are grouped by platform below. Not all are public mods; some are private mods.
Note that some of the detail in the tables are still being finalized and so are subject to change.
Know of any that should be added to this page? Comment below, or come hang out with us on Discord.
Note that roguelikes are not covered on this page but can be covered on a separate page.

This post compares randomizers that coders have made for the Dragon Quest series over the years.
Both respinners and repatchers are included in this comparison.
Respinners refer to internal randomizers, also called integrated or self-randomizers.
Repatchers refer to external randomizers such as web- and app-based randos.
Randomizers that are not respinners are repatchers.
Note that “⏯” represents a feature that can be toggled in game.
