As a long-time enthusiast of ROMhacking, I find myself both saddened and intrigued by the recent announcement of its transformation. The site has been a beacon for gamers like me who delve into the nitty-gritty of game modding and translations.
ROMhacking is a long running site dedicated to game mods, translations, homebrews, and so much more. It’s been a cornerstone in a niche market, but now the site is transitioning into a news-only platform, with the database and files shifting over to the Internet Archive.
Starting on August 1, 2024, the well-known ROMhacking website announced a shift in its functioning. From this moment forward, the site will no longer be accepting new submissions, except for news posts. All other parts of the site will remain accessible in read-only mode, downloads will still be available if they are supported, and the forum will continue to operate. However, the affiliations with Twitter and Discord have been discontinued.
Alongside the updates made to the site, ROMhacking also disclosed the site’s database (excluding account or personal details) to the Internet Archive, in addition to all their files and images.
As a dedicated fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this development for quite some time given the evolving digital terrain. However, recent complications in transferring the site to a new team have expedited our plans. The announcement hints at an internal team aiming to preserve the site, and we’ve initiated steps to transition downloads into their care. Yet, certain hurdles have emerged during this process.
We had a rocky phase 1, moving the downloads into their possession. When I went to startup phase 2, I discovered a most dishonest and hate filled group. I learned that I had been dehumanized for a very long time. My personal details had been given out. Secret deceitful plots had been made to cut me out, and drop a bomb like I am a target to destroy. My family has seen this and after discussion, we are immediately ceasing all related site operations. We are cutting ties to Discord and Twitter social media outlets, and will have no further contact with these individuals.
Today marks a sorrowful moment for long-time users of ROMhacking. Yet, it’s reassuring to learn that the well-being of the owner’s family takes priority. Though the site may change its form, it will persist, and fortunately, the data is being safeguarded.
