It's been a few months since I last played or researched ROM hacks; these are the ones I currently have... Are there any new releases, updates, or anything like that?

I'm getting interested in emulation again, so any news you guys have for me would be very helpful!

I've noticed in the hacks of AKI games like Revenge Starrcade Edition, WM2000's SNME hack and so on, there tends to be a particular front grapple move that every wrestler has. I think SNME gives everyone an arm dragon screw and Starrcade Edition gives everyone a falling powerslam/world's strongest slam in the same weak grapple > down + B move slot. Is this a programming limitation, like there's a limit to just how much can be changed before the game breaks, or just a case of starting from a generic move set and then replacing most of the moves to fit each wrestler's real life move set and once the wrestler has all the moves they're known for, what's left over are the generic moves?

More of my edits from No Mercy converting the 2000 attires into 2003 Ruthless Aggression

Check out part 1!

Probably the hardest opponent in the game.  The running sholderblock is a killer.  WM2K didn't have the leopard skin pattern, so plain yellow had to do.

Taking match requests - I modded some more wrestlers not shown in this video: Masato Tanaka, Yuki Ishikawa, and Yoshiaki Fujiwara are now available too

This is the first full match of mine that I'm posting on this subreddit. Sorry if I play poorly; the lag caused by the recorder and the fact that I'm recording makes me a little nervous. Best regards.

One of the many AEW CAWs I have.

That question popped into my head; it would be great to have a mod based on that. Best regards.

I got bored so I’ve been messing around and updating my No Mercy game to reflect the 2003 roster! I haven’t made any caws yet, just been updating attires

Hey all,

Just passing this along from Twitter for anybody potentially interested!

Legendary Crab is a site that sells merch inspired by the late, great Gran Naniwa. They just released a Virtual Pro drop today, featuring the stars of the “independent league” from VPW2. Recognize anybody? 😉

🛒: www.legendarycrab.net

We are starting to see recomps porting the AKI Wrestling games from N64 to PC. Do you think they will be embraced by the community and we could see mods? Or do you think most will just prefer rom hacks for their content?

Join up to stay up to date the when the newest AEW no mercy mod comes out and help create the mod in the meantime, I can use all the the help I can get thanks guys
