List of recommended ROM hacks

This page lists ROM hacks that are recommended for the enhancement or improvement of several games. As this page only links to ROM hack patches and not unpatched or pre-patched ROMs, users must first have a backup of their game cartridge ROM file saved to their computer, which they can subsequently patch using a patching utility such as Lunar IPS. Note that while ROM hack patches are entirely legal and may be freely distributed (since they must be applied to the associated game's ROM file to function), the distribution of pre-patched ROMs, as with regular unpatched ROMs, is considered to be piracy.

List criteria
For a ROM hack to be listed on this page, it must:


 * Be a patch appliable to a ROM supplied by the user, rather than a pre-patched ROM.
 * Include one or more substantial improvements (not just additions) if listed in the improvement hacks section.
 * Modify the story and/or world of a game substantially if listed in the complete hacks section.

Reimplementation hacks
This section lists game patches that restore game functionality originally implemented via unemulated system or game add-on hardware. Games that require the patch to be fully-compatible with the FunKey S are highlighted in green. As the patches for Boktai 2 and Boktai 3 implement button combinations that interfere with FunKey S system shortcuts, they also require adapted controls to be fully-compatible.

Improvement hacks
This section lists game patches that modify a game to improve a certain aspect of it.

Complete hacks
This section lists game patches that modify a game to an extent that essentially turns it into an entirely new game.
