how to play rom hacks on original hardware

This is very annoying and why I dislike the 3rd game more than anything else.Īlso, if you're playing hacks on real hardware, you've already got the tools to alter the ROM's region lockouts as well. I mean, I get that Axel's fat ass probably had a donut too many between the 2nd and 3rd game (as is apparent by his appearance), but all of the characters are slow. I get that you can run in SOR 3 which is a cool feature, but I feel it's tedious and shouldn't have to be used constantly. In 3 the heros walk slower and the enemies walk faster than they did in 2 (this could be false, but I don't believe I am wrong on this). Like avlon, I've been able to run pretty much every SOR hack I've tried.īy hero slow down I mean the walking speed of the heros vs the enemies. I can't remember if I've tried the Ivex hack, and I'm not sure what you mean by 'hero slow down', but I've played the other hacks you've mentioned on real hardware.

These are the names of the patches I'm seeing on the website: Is there one in particular that you're thinking about? I guess my biggest lack of understanding because I don't have any of this stuff downloaded is on they offer up patches that when paired with the game alter it to create a 'new game.' How do you get these all into a single file to be able to dump onto an emulator? Please excuse my naivety. I've always played legit games or repro that a friend made me as, in all honestly, the hunt was damn near as fun or more fun than playing video games. I am 100% a novice when it comes to emulators and everything that comes with them.

BlastEm is probably your best bet for the Genesis right now. Try to test the roms on emulators that prioritize accuracy. Hacks that work flawlessly on cycle-accurate emulators are virtually guaranteed to work on original hardware.
