The GBA is a goldmine for ROM hacks (and if you don’t have access to hardware, having an emulator makes using hacks a lot easier – check out our very own list of the Best GBA Emulators), especially if you’re a Pokémon fan there’s countless best Pokémon ROM hacks available.
The sheer inventiveness and creativity of the modding community never ceases to amaze me, but what’s also impressive is that the coders responsible for these hacks aren’t always looking to put their own spin on a game’s mechanics – sometimes, they’re just aiming to improve a game from a technical standpoint.Ĭonsequently, ROM hacks of some games can end up being simply better versions of the official title.
