About Koreijou.org
What is this place?
Koreijou.org, or Some Website, is a lot of things. Initially, it began as a response to ROMhacking.net shutting down. I wanted to create a place where I could host my personal favorite ROM Hacks, write about them, and generally exist on the internet without using social media like Discord or Twitter. Things have evolved somewhat now that it's clear Romhacking.net isn't actually going anywhere. Whatever I think I should write about, I'll post it here as long as it fits the general "technology, internet, retro game" bent this site has been built on. I might deviate occasionally and have. ROM Hack uploads are a core feature here, but again, the ROM hacks hosted here are only my personal favorites. I don't aim to be a repository.
Why the two names?Koreijou.org is an homage to the final line of Dir En Grey's Phenomenon. The song is about being obsessed with something to the point of questioning your own sanity. It's also absurd, which I like. "Some Website" on the other hand, came from the realization that many readers probably can't pronounce "koreijou"
[insert page here] doesn't work on mobile!I wouldn't recommend reading this site on mobile. That said, send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
What do you know?I have been ROM hacking for nearly 20 years. I have first hand experience with most NES hardware, including a majority of the Japanese stuff. I've spent almost as much time repairing NES consoles as I have ROM Hacking. If there is a problem with a console, computer, or something related, I can quickly diagnose and repair it.
Will you host my ROM Hack?Yes. It doesn't need to be good, or even playable. The original idea of this site was for me to host what I personally enjoy, but I don't mind hosting other peoples work if they need hosting. I'm not interested if you hack features stupid shit like racism.
remove my hack!Sure, just send me an e-mail and we'll figure it out.
Who are you?I'm Some Guy and that's it. You should read the stuff I've written, you'll get an idea of who I am if you really wanna know. All that's important is that I have a wife and two children, and I love them and our cats.
