About Koreijou.org

Koreijou.org 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. The site isn't about me personally, but it's about the things that interest me and how I feel about them. 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. 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.

I have been ROM hacking for nearly 20 years, and I own several hundred NES games. Along with understanding how NES games work, I understand the hardware pretty damn well. I've spent almost as much time repairing NES consoles as I have ROM Hacking.

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 racism, sexism, or homophobia.

Sure, just send me an e-mail and we'll figure it out.

Doesn't matter. I used to go by various versions of the name Kyo. When I began ROM Hacking in 2008, I was 17 and super into Dir en Grey, and I thought that was cool. it's stuck for nearly 2 decades, but I'm not going by any specific variation of that name right now. I have a wife and two children, and I love them and my cats.
