I posted a topic over at MameWorld, but didn't get much of a response (not sure I will here either), so just trying my luck here..
I've checked out a few hacks using Mame and HBMame; Mostly (ms)pac-man or dkong related. And I'll probably work my way through the hbmame.lst to see what hacks there are and try them out for fun.
I thought the Donkey Kong 2 (dkongx) and Pauline editions where kind of cool, but haven't really seen much else. Granted, I haven't gone through them all.
So, just curious if anyone else would care to list any the hacks they like or consider worth checking out?
:cheers:

I still haven't gotten the Pauline hack to work. I've followed the directions a few time but I am clearly missing the boat somewhere.

I do a combined wheel in AtomicFE that loads MAME and HBMAME to get Pauline and a bunch of the Pac Hacks. It's a real PITA to get Pauline working in MAME if you want to keep DK.

I set mine up so that Pauline is US set 1 (along with the artwork etc.) and then copied the original set 1 files into the other sets zip files(US set 2 Japan versions and Foundry) so US set 2 is original DK - US set 1 is Pauline and other sets still work properly using original files rather than Pauline.

Yeah, I was tired of messing with all that. HBMAME/Pauline.zip for the win! :cheers:

To the OP's question, I haven't touched arcade game rom hacks, but I hear there is a following for fighter games to allow play with hidden characters and unplayable bosses. If I liked fighters more and didn't suck at them, I would probably try them out.
I personally like a few of the console rom hacks, and those are no effort to add to a rom list and run. You have to wade through the heaps of worthless hacks to find the select few that are worth playing.

The Simpsons hack of Tapper is cool for a few minutes.
Konkey Dong is pretty fun but very few people get it.

Forgot about the Simpson's Tapper, I do like that.
I was messing with HBMame and Mame the last couple of days, so certain details are a bit fuzzy right now. However, I think DK Pauline works just fine in baseline-Mame now.
I discovered a hack a while back that I had forgot about: Strider Amazon de-censor. I'll see if I can get it working this weekend. Here is a link to the topic on KLOV:

I was mistaken. It'll work, If you name it "dkong" but not under the normal name "dkongpne". Otherwise you need to use a different emulator,like HBMame.

do you include Street Fighter II : Rainbow Edition one of your hacks? What about Mortal Kombat II Tournament Edition ?
