I live in a small town and it was only a matter of time before people started finding out I could put roms onto carts. I have made it perfectly clear that I have no desire to pirate games, however multiple people have asked me about homebrews ect. Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction on some specific examples I will list off? I am kind of worried about making some of these games for people who I think want to play them, but then will wind up on Ebay ect. I dont feel like sharing a cell with the Subway guy for a decade or two.
Example 1
Any Super Famicom game ported over to the SNES
Example 2
Rom hack of a game. Such as Metroid and a sprite hack or map update
Example 3
Retranslation. Many many games come to mind. Breath of Fire 2 retranslation, Chrono Trigger Retranslation
Example 4
Custom game never released Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes or Prophets Guile
Example 5
There is a rom of Final Fantasy 3 where they not only changed the story text but updated the graphics
Again thanks to anyone that is willing to help, I have tried looking on Google search and am finding very conflicting reports on these being considered abandonware ect. People have said that any game modded in any fashion is no longer considered the original game. Nintendo says they own a copyright for 75 years ect ect. Also I noticed there are tons of companies already doing this as well as selling on Ebay. I would love any advice I can get. Sorry if this ruffles a few feathers, I know some people don't like these types of posts. I do know though for a fact some of these people who have approached me are looking for Christmas presents for their gamer family member ect.
