New Hack : WFRR Reframed
https://www.romhacking.net//#article3083
This is an improvement hack of Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the NES.
The original game is famous for its insane difficulty whether it is just for wandering around the map without being crushed by snakes, birds, cars, or being continuously chased by weasels with no time to select a good punchline, to finally face an utterly unfair boss fight that gives aching hands. Well, everybody knows what it i

This Ridiculous New Hack Turns Donkey Kong Country Into A Mario Game
https://www.romhacking.net//#article3079
But now, thanks to a hacker named RainbowSprinklez, it’s finally possible to play as the iconic moustachioed plumber (specifically the version of Mario from Super Mario World), to see how he would fare against King K. Rool and his army of Kremlings (thanks CM30 for the spot!).

https://www.romhacking.net//#article3076
Quantam has finally started an official tutorial on the use of makeftrom and the FamiTracker conversions (e.g. mm2ft) for adding FamiTracker format music to NES romhacks. From the introduction:
“The problem: music composition for romhacks is a cryptic, laborious, error-prone, and generally painful process.
