New Romhack Database

Decompiled Ports Also Covered

Has another alternative arrived for romhack databases?

The new website is romhacks.net.

Writes the site owner Natto in a Reddit post:

I’ve been playing ROM hacks and ports for years, and I kept running into the same problems:

• cluttered or outdated sites
• having to dig around multiple places just to find basic information
• excessive ads
• setup tutorials hidden inside giant forum threads
• confusing patching steps
• and basically no proper place that clearly lists decompiled PC/Android ports or notes which ones support online play
• non-structured databases with a lot of junk rom hacks

It’s designed to be clean, beginner-friendly, and actually usable, with:

• clear game pages and short overviews
• setup & troubleshooting instructions that make sense
• a dedicated section for decompiled ports
• a web-based patcher that runs locally in your browser and can save your patched ROMs
• no ads

It’s still early and missing tons of titles, but the foundation is there – I’d really like feedback, brutal honesty, ideas, or bug reports.

There’s also a submit form if you want to add your favourite hack/port and help shape it. (the site is super empty right now)

I’m trying to figure out the best (and most respectful) approach for adding projects:

Option 1:
Anyone can submit their favourite ROM hack / port. Everything will clearly credit the original creator and the site will not host patches – just link back to the creator’s download page.

Option 2:
Only original creators can submit their projects, meaning no entry unless the dev themselves wants it listed.

If you’ve made a ROM hack or decompiled port, how would you feel about your project appearing on a site like this (credited properly, linking to your page, no files hosted) without you personally submitting it?

Would that annoy you, or would you see it as helpful exposure?

Important note: it doesn’t host ROMs or patches – it only links to original creators / official sources and focuses on info and usability, not downloads.
