About Koreijou.org
What is this place?
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. 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.
[insert page here] doesn't work on mobile!A small part of the myriad reasons I created this was to get away from my mobile phone and do something constructive with technology that doesn't involve ripping apart 40 year old machines. I'd rather not bother making this site mobile friendly. If it's a problem, you can always set your mobile browser up to load desktop versions of sites. I've never tested that here, but I'm sure it works. If I discover something that could cause problems for lower resolution desktop displays, I'll fix it.
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 racism, sexism, or homophobia.
remove my hack!Sure, just send me an e-mail and we'll figure it out.
Who are you?I don't want to be identified. Read the stuff I've written, you'll get an idea 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.
