#### Attention: Do not post ROM hacks here.

ROM hacks are illegal for certain games, and other games are still questionable as to their legality, therefore we cannot allow them to be posted here.

Making a topic about your hack is still ok, you just can't give us a direct download link. Telling someone where to get it or linking it to them over PM is something we can't control. Just as long as there are no direct links.
EDIT: regardless of the legality, this isn't the place to post ROM hacks.

Someone should Sticky/Pin this so everybody knows. And so we don't get arrested.

Because Nintendo is a bitch.
Ok really, its much more of a gray area in the law, but xparasite9 wanted to be careful. So regardless of the legality, its breaking our rules, so don't do it.

Its a lot better to be careful in any case, rather than being reckless and assuming that nobody is going to say anything about it ever.
Yeah, and the rule thing, its breaking it and such.

But it's ok to post LIPs(or whatever there called) patches?
As your not hosting the rom in any way.

I'm not sure. Only thing that's gonna do is make someone download the file, then spend hours Googling the correct ROM on well… Google.

Tools don't count do they? I mean, They are freeware and only alter the game and have no piracy on their own. They only are Piracy when a rom is loaded onto them. Am I correct or not?

Pokemon roms ARE getting more and more difficult to find now that the ESA is having their way.
(mainly the GBA roms but some of the GBC and GB roms are also getting difficult to locate.)
I mean they still exist in smaller quantities though but Gary 'M 9 has a point. this board isn't the place for that stuff.
