Hack Ideas Thread

So I was thinking about how on the SNES we have Street Fighter II and Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting, but no Street Fighter II Champion Edition and was wondering what it would take to turn Hyper Fighting into Champion Edition...

-_-

...Then I was reminded that Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting has a normal mode based on Champion Edition.

So how about a title screen hack?

When you select normal mode, instead of just changing the background color, actually change the font palette to match the arcade, remove the turbo, and change "Hyper Fighting" to "Champion Edition".

Taking it a step further by changing how the menu works.
When the title screen loads up it'll show the Turbo Hyper Fighting title as normal, but the menu will only have 2 commands; "Turbo ***" and "Options". With Mobi-chan Beta as the top cursor and the Yashichi as the bottom cursor.
Instead of having a menu command for Champion Edition, require the select button to be pressed to switch between the two modes. And when the title is switched to Champion Edition, the "Turbo ***" command is replaced with "Start" and Mobi-chan Beta with Mobi-chan Alpha instead.

Yeah, this doesn't add much to the game itself, but it could be a good exercise in ROMhacking.

Capcom vs. SNK 2 (Arcade & Consoles): A hack that will give Cammy her voice track from the first CVS game, I was never a fan of her new voice in CVS2.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Arcade & Consoles): A color hack that will change these palettes:

For Venom's default colors, change the light blue palettes to the dark grey palettes he had in the PSX port of MVC1:

This will make him look more accurate to his comic book counterpart.

For Jill, change the green blood on the zombie and the Cerberus to red:

SVC Chaos (Arcade & Consoles): A hack that will change the default palettes for Akuma & Sagat to these:

This will make them look more like their Street Fighter II counterparts.
