  • Odyssey Enters Open Beta [Update: Released]

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V (SFC)

    You can follow the work of HatZen08 via RHDN.

    Sora is a new streamer aiming to bring more awareness to the awesome romhacks out there like FFVI: T-Edition, Chrono Trigger+, FFIV: Ultima Plus, Secret of Mana+, etc. You can follow Sora via YouTube or Twitch.

    Mod sampler livestream brought to you by Sora. Full playthrough may be coming soon—check his streaming roadmap here.

    Update: the hack has been published on Romhack Plaza here courtesy of clymax.

    Says hack author HatZen08 on this respinner in a forum post on FF6Hacking here:

    It is a built-in randomizer. After the name setup, all characters will be randomized. Each different name should create a different setup. You can’t change their jobs or abilities.

    The ‘row’ and ‘def’ commands were changed to ‘fray’ and ‘heal’. ‘fray’ will attack a random enemy with a fight command and ‘heal’ will recover[] half of the caster hp. It is designed to be a basic attack/healing if nothing better is available.

    The first command will be a random menu-alike ability, like white, black, throw, sing, drink, etc. The other three comands will be abilities without menu, like dance, gaia, flirt, guard, etc.

    The weapons and gears that the characters can equip were randomized as well.

    The jobs were updated and have old, new or updated traits. Those traits can change the behaviour of the ‘fray’ and ‘heal’ commands and add unique quirks to the characters.

    Demo clip courtesy of clymax.

    Regarding a recent update, version 1.1, HatZen08 adds:

    I updated the project. In summary, the changes were new/updated abilities and new counter traits. Instead of counter only with the ‘fight’ command, others commands can be used as counters instead of only ‘fight’.

    For balance and to add the new counters i changed the traits by job.

    The hack incorporates the GBA Script Port addendum to the RPGe translation.

    Additional documentation is slated to be provided on the release of the hack.

    Update: the documentation and even assembly source are now included, available on FF6Hacking here.

  • The Big List of Video Game Respinners

    New Seed on Reset

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

    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 only console mods are covered in this list. The mods must be third-party mods.

    Note that roguelikes are not covered on this page but can be covered on a separate page.
