    10. Retro Achievements

    Warning: mass imports romhack patches into RAPatches repo without author permission.

    Still no formally announced off-ramp for hack authors to this day, such as to opt out of an individual hack having its patch cloned without causing the set to be taken down, or such as to opt out of all past, present, and future hacks from having their patches cloned. This is despite the issue having been raised both privately and publicly to site leadership.

    Complete double standard for game studios versus hack authors: virtue signals being against uploading copyrighted roms even when achievement sets have been made for those roms. Meanwhile, uploads and hosts copyrighted romhack patches without hack author permission, regardless of whether achievement sets have been made for those romhacks.

  • Romhack.ing Silently Bans Romhacker clymax from Its Discord Server and Then Refuses to Take Down His Romhacks When Asked To

    Romhacks Were Never Submitted to the Site But Were Imported from RHDN’s 2024 Dump

    Banned Without Warning

    The Discord ban came without warning or notification and was not discovered until July 6, 2025.

    Subsequently, the following message was sent to Romhack.ing (RHDI) staff via the RHDI website.

    May 29, 2026

    Last year, I randomly discovered I got banned from the RHDI Discord without warning or explanation.

    As a result, I regretfully submit a request to take down my hacks hosted on the site.

    Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.

    Takedown Request Rejected

    RHDI staff promptly replied:

    May 30, 2026

    Thank you for your message. After seeing your takedown request, we categorically reject it on the grounds of it being in response to a ban.

    On that note, we checked our records, and we can confirm that you were in fact banned. It was due to a violation of the following rule:

    No advertising or referrals unless it’s approved by staff.

    I will admit, a ban (without warning) is rather heavy handed for this. But if you would like to appeal and agree to follow the server rules, we can lift the ban.

    Alternative Just as Tyrannical

    One of our Hacking Legends, solidification, had this to say when notified of the news (quoted with permission):

    Imao you don’t own your own hacks

    But good to know that something that was literally spun up in response to t[yr]annical nonsense from RHDN in its ownership and potential loss is, uh, tyrannical

    The hacks and translations, now believed to be illegally hosted on RHDI, can be seen here.

    These hacks and translations were never submitted to RHDI by yours truly.

    Instead, they were imported from RHDN’s data dump from August 2024, as we previously reported here.

    So, what do you think? What’s worse, the silent ban or the refusal to honor a hack author’s takedown request? Would you want to submit your work to RHDI?

  • Romhacking.net Rejects Link Exchange with Gaming Fansite for Giving Coverage to Alternative Repository

    Claims Romhack Plaza “Actively Sabotages” RHDN

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

    [Editor’s note: the info in this post is shared for the sake of transparency and accountability in the romhacking scene. Please do not contact or harass any party known or believed to be involved, due to this post.]

    In response to an invitation to exchange links with a gaming fansite (not named in this post), RHDN allegedly responded:

    Right away in your ‘Applying ROMhack Patches (NES & SNES)’, there is no mention of ROMhacking.net anywhere, or its online patcher (https://www.romhacking.net/patch/).

    Instead, it was chosen to feature romhackplaza.org/romhacks.org which actively sabotages our site (https://www.reddit.com/r/romhacking/comments/18xgc3b/romhacksorg_admin_sabotaged_romhackingnet).

    We can’t be affiliated with such nonsense. Sorry.

    This is despite the cited Reddit thread being nearly three years old.

    It is despite the individual alleged to have engaged in the activity having been removed from site staff along with an official explanation being given. If you’re unaware, see the Related Post below.

    And it is despite both romhacking repositories having since apparently changed owners.

    More importantly, the claim that RHDN is still being actively sabotaged seems spurious on its face. No evidence was provided in support of that assertion.

    Is this what our romhacking community should be all about?

    So, what do you think? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.
