Fair, out of curiosity what hacks you made that I uploaded?
Ultimately it's a free service to host hacks. The objections so far have been greatly based on misinformation or opinions towards me, not the site itself. A lot of work was put into making this site, and we continue to make improvements and adding features. All we can do is continue working and hope people will give us a chance.
With all the flaming discussions and different opinions clashing against each other, I have to say: Should I even TRUST this website or not?
Spike can even upload the whole history of video games on CDRomance, for all I care. What I care about is that he uploads prepatched ROMs with my romhacks/translations without asking permission first. I simply do not want this to happen with my free-to-use work, and expect Spike to respect that, but he clearly does not. He completely ignores and direspects the work of the very same people he is trying to gather together at RHDO.
Really digging this so far, feels like a nice in-between of Super Metroid's physics and the gba titles. Thank you for uploading this!
Terrible hack. It actually makes Samus more difficult to control and makes it harder to dodge enemies. Not recommended.
Thanks for this, Spike! Hopefully this place will be growing as expected, and also free of childish arguings.
You're the only love of my life, Spike.
There is a lot of misinformation going around that RHDO was involved in RHDN's site issues/closure. This is the misinformation being referenced here.
All copyright has done is kill the games I love most. My respect for it is low. If you want to feel like an product that can be replicated infinitely without further consumption of resources should be throttled for no other reason than money, a limited resource, then you are absolutely mad and do not understand technology. I get why we're so behind now.
Well, guess I'm here now. Hopefully it won't be too painful figuring out what I already have archived and what I don't. I don't know anything about all this. I just hope this site doesn't go away because even if I do keep everything, I don't think I'll ever be able to host myself. You're doing a service.
What misinformation? As far as I know he really runs CDRomance, as he confirmed.
Hey, spike. Long time CDROMANCE user. I haven't found a way to direct message you... So, I'll say it here. Please create forum sections specifically for A. Requests(From fans to Creators/Hackers) B. Reviews and suggestions(For Hacks) C. Suggestions(For this site) Also, if you allowed us to direct message eachother, add friends and find new people based on profiles... (Basically how Myspace used to be... with the profile customizations and such...) You'd definitely thrive. Especially if people could actually contact translators and hackers to pay them to finish projects, such as Devil Summoner for the saturn/PSP... We also need a way to notify people when they are mentioned in the comments, somewhere. Oh and perhaps a new section for CDROMANCE for pc games such as sengoku rance... There are a few mods for it. Maybe even a place for adult prepatched mod games... 🤔
Thanks man I totally get where they are coming from. Everyone is welcomed to use this site regardless of their opinion of me. Hopefully they can move past that, I don't have problems with anybody. Nobody's perfect.
Don't lose heart, Spike, there is always people that dislike what someone else do on the internet. you are doing a great service to the romhacking community by running RHDO and cdromance. For me, distributing prepatched is much more useful if you want other people to actually use your romhack, since it is much easier for the final user to play them. I've been meaning to publish my romhacks here since i found out about it but haven't out of laziness. Now, with the closure of RHDN and the drama around RHDO, i put some time aside to do it and show my support.
I had a feeling RHDN would eventually turn into just an archive when I originally joined them back in 2016 and saw the general vibe of the site. A couple mods became convinced I was a badhacker over ice cream and dogged me at random until I said '"F this" and started actually making some on a different site. Ironically that got me into general graphics/text hacking, so if I ever come across one of them I'll give them a genuine thank you. Anyway, I feel lucky to have this site and BHDN to share the two sides of my hobby. Both have a ton of chill people that enjoy pushing rom hacking to it's limits in their own ways and I hope they're both around for many years to come.
Fair enough.
Nobody said there was a DDOS. I was very careful the way I worded my comment. Please ready it carefully.
There was no DDOS. At the time, RHDN had pissed off MANY romhackers with their treatment of submissions, had limited uploads to 1MB, shutdown for 2 days with no communication. I am a passionate person, and quite blunt, thus the "fuck rhdn". I implore you to watch this video which explains the entire situation quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYbtcsG8tUI

Depending on when you released your patches and he put prepatched roms on cdr, both could've occurred long before Spike decided to even start RHDO. In the 2+ days you've been mentioning this here in the comments have you tried to contact him and just politely ask him to take them down until he asks permission?
