Further to the previous news, notably linked to the “drama with RHDN”. Spike, former owner of the site, has decided to leave the site and transfer ownership of the platform to someone else. I, Benjamin, have taken over the project to give it a new lease of life. As a result, RHDO is no longer affiliated in any way with prepatched ROM platforms such as CDRomance. There’s no point in talking about it any more in the comments. In order to give the project a new lease of life and bury the slander that followed the RHDN closure, the Spike […]

G'day from Down-Under, Benjamin, Congratulations is in order for your new top job. I really like the new name you got here. This is coming from a new member like myself. ^^
 
Hi, thanks for all the feedback. Some problems may indeed occur with the change of theme, every report helps me to improve the platform.

For the form fields in focus, the problem must be fixed in dark mode, in light mode, the problem wasn't there I think.

As for indexing with Dynamic Designs, I've restarted indexing and the problem has been solved.

As for your Firefox crashing, I think the problem is local, I've had no problems with that. Try clearing the cache and changing browser. If the problem persists, let me know which pages are affected so I can check what's on them.

Best regards.
 
Welcome Benjamin, and already like the new name "RomHack Plaza" better, if you go with it I'm all for it. :)

<em>edit: Also a totally non-related question, as a new user I'm not really sure on this, but how does one become "</em>Verified" <em>as some member have displayed under their name? Is that something I should worry about?</em>
 
Welcome to the new admin! I've got to say, I really like the new layout and how everything looks in general. The submission process here is easy to use and hassle-free. It's also nice that we're able to add multiple authors per submission. So far so good, I really like what you guys have done with the site. Hopefully in time, this site will continue to grow and shall become the new central hub of the romhacking community.

Also, I just wanted to make one small bug report: In the translation section, when selecting "Dynamic-Designs" from the Authors dropdown menu, it only displays seven translations, when there are currently over twenty. It works fine when you click on "Dynamic-Designs" on one of the translation pages, only the dropdown menu itself seems to have this error.

Also, on occasion, the site sometimes freezes and I have to either refresh the page or close the entire browser. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Firefox or the site itself, but I just thought that I should mention it as well.

Edit: I've recently noticed that the submission form is a bit glitched now at the moment as well. The "description", "hashes" and "credits" section don't display any text unless you highlight it. Same thing with the "date", "relevant link" and "YouTube video" fields. Very odd, do these issues have something to do with the latest changes regarding the site's name or functionality?
 
What's up Benjamin? Googie here, just wanted to show some NYC love and thanks for taking over, when I get some free time, hopefully soon by this weekend, I'll upload my whole ROM hacking catalog onto the site. I have a lot to share, too. :)
 
There are some problems with changing the domain to access the file server. A temporary solution has been put in place which requires opening another page. Things should be back to normal max tommorow.

Edit : Downloads reworks.
 
As Kando said, the problem is that Google has imposed a severe penalty and isn't indexing the site as much as it should. So this new name will help RHDO get back on track. And the old name won't be completely abandoned. It'll be a bit like Twitter with X. (Not sure that's the best example x))
 
That is a good point searching finally works. People know what it is, have heard of it and probably seach by this names. Some people think the side is down when they do not find it in a search. Changing the name should be done for personal reasons. Since we are a hub for hombrew and translations too I was thinking a more inclusive name might be fitting.

Beside keeping the name would be good too since I got used to it by now.
 
Oh hell, I didn't realize those misleading reddit threads are the first things that pop up.

Doesn't seem to happen if I Google the site's acronym. Granted, you guys probably don't want to continue using "RHDO" at this point for valid reasons, but you could call it RetroHacks.org if it isn't already in use
