What are some other good hacks and homebrews that I need to check out?
I just started playing Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes. So far, my only gripe is Chrono talks. It's actually more annoying than I thought it would be initially, but not a deal breaker.
this episode title op
this is y i subbed ty
Pokemon prism is an excellent rom hack, taking Pokemon crystal and essentially expands it to a whole new level. Adding stuff that wouldn't be seen till later titles and what not.
I don't know, but that ending was hilarious! Great stuff!
Really appreciated the Saturn hacks in this episode I didn't know that was even a thing. I'd like to see more of those and others of the 32bit gen. Peace, stay safe.
I'm starting to think Joe's ending segments are chronicling his slow descent into madness and I love it.
I expected it to be an endorsement for some sort of food bank, personally.
If so then we can expect a video praising the likes of Superman 64, Big Rigs and ET on the Atari 2600 with a song all about Green Dog.
@@ReinaHW
Anyone else seen the Sonic Atari port?
Its SUPER simplified but runs surprisingly great.
Wow.
He's gonna go full Board James at some point.
Slow descent, yeah right!!
The end segment was hilarious!
My favorite ending skits are the ones that involve either a $20 bill or Dave and middle fingers LMFAO. While Joe is right about the situation, I'm still not sure how I feel about the skit 🤔. I chuckled but still thought it was a little crass? Maybe it's just too early in the day. I'm usually watching much more offensive stuff anyway 😂.
@@fatherfintanstack8810 pssssst it's COMEDY, they won't see it anyways they can't afford computers
Better post credit scenes than Marvel!
Well, I'm surprised that this didn't get that much hate. Maybe finally the world it's understanding what comedy is
I loved the one when they dressed up like other youtubers
Man, that Mario Land for the SNES looks incredible!
Nintendo should take notes.
@@ToddJambon This!
@@ToddJambon I'm sure they are taking notes...
...and sending them to their legal team.
It's a nice piece of work, though I don't like the random trajectory of the submarine/biplane bullets.
That ending skit was a stroke of brilliance. Satire that rich can only be found on the sparkles of the rich cinnamon flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I love the timing on these.. bored, probably gonna sleep.. AW SWEET GAMESACK
Me right now
I was about to go to bed until I got the notification.
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEEEEEEEK!
Seems as if it's always been this way it's become a tradition more sacred than midnight mass
@@haaxxx9 you mean WEEEEEEEAK! Seems like you need sleep lol 😆
Project Z-Treme has now evolved into Hellslave and a new demo recently came out that doesn’t suffer from any of the glitches present here
Can I have ZTreme pleeeease must burn
@@mistamontiel00 How hard is it to Google?
Yeah, kind of a shame not to use a more recent version, the Hellslave demo has been around for a while and works perfectly on real hardware - still great to see it featured here though :)
@@ninjapants7688 Super, I thought ZTreme was trashed for shit FPS, never released
@@mistamontiel00 Nope, it is still being made/developed.
It's 7 am in the UK, I haven't slept, and I'm not going to until I've finished the new Game Sack episode
In Shanghai with similar predicament
In Sweden but the other way around
Ya'll take care of yourselves. It'll be here when you wake up.
I hope you know we wait for this every two weeks. Your show is a bright spot of nostalgia in a crazy world. It would be awesome to hang out and go hardcore on a retro games marathon. Hope you keep doing this for years to come. Best channel on youtube.
Before taking a nap, got to watch some sack.
Are you saying that it puts you to sleep? 😁 Seriously though, I do the same. I alternate between Game Sack and Vincenzo Vinesauce
Game Sack is the ONLY page I support each month Patreon and this is exactly why!! Thanks!
The SEGA Saturn needs more home brew love.
More translations as well.
a better emulator for PC as well.
we just had a competition over at SegaXtreme handling this very thing.
@@knight0fdragon good, very happy to hear that.
I'm sure that the reason why we almost never see homebrew Saturn stuff is that it's such a pain in the ass to develop for. I've read that most games released for it back in the day didn't even utilize it's 2nd CPU, because it was so incredibly difficult to do. Apparently both CPU's couldn't be used at the same time without very precise timing or something, but I know little about tech and nothing about programming.
Joe, watching your ending skits drunk as a skunk makes them absurdly hilarious 😆 lol keep it up
I died laughing stone cold sober
That Super Mario Land home brew looks pretty amazing. And Gradius III with blast processing looks . . .a bit terrifying, but in a good way!
I have a physical copy of the Super Mario Land homebrew for SNES (with a nice plastic case). My brother and I played 2 player, it was a little frustrating that you can knock the other players off platforms/etc or vice versa, but it was really fun.
I wanna see more hacks that fix performance of games and add quality of life improvements/fixes that make the games more enjoyable.
those happen quite a bit, they're just not really worth making videos on really, because they're so minor.
I do not understand the thought process that causes someone to think "I am going to change the gradient background on Super Hang On," but I am really glad there are people that think like that in the world.
Nothing like waking up Sunday to fresh sack. 😍👍
Been watching game sack almost constantly for several days now, I'm both addicted and absolutely love it! I keep it playing on my phone when gaming and keep having to pause my game to watch because it's too good or because I have to write down some game that looks awesome.
Joe deserves so many more subscribers!
I love Gamesack. This is one the best channels on TH-cam. I can watch episodes over and over again. I strive to make my content as remotely as rewtachable as these
This is the earliest I've ever been to a Game Sack episode!
Gamesack reminds me how much of a night owl I am. I never miss a late night upload 😊
Right on time
Game sack been coming in clutch for years. Just looking for something to watch
Another late Saturday night= another video from Game Sack!
Feel free to keep putting out more episodes on this topic lol. That was great, I started googling instantly that Chrono Trigger hack, I had never heard of it but it's one of my favorite games of all time I might end up checking that one out.
Thank you Joe.. always a good Saturday night watching gamesack after the job
Perfect for Sunday chill.
I literally was just on your video page and there was no new episode, I went to my home page and bam! Joe delivers in my time of need.
So glad this was uploaded just in time
Holy F, I've just started to look into rom hacks and now Game Sack puts a video up about this topic. What a beautiful coincidence :)
you just started? awesome, i can definitely help you out with finding some real good ones.
@@UltimateGamerCC May I ask, what are some of the best rom hacks in your opinion?
@@Aoi2012 oof, that question i was NOT prepared for lol... hmmm, i mean it is kinda hard to answer that, it depends on what you're looking for and what games you REALLY want to play hacks of.
i know that can sound vague as all hell, but a lot of that REALLY does come down to personal preferences, for example i dont mind a hack being a little harder than the original game, but Hardtype/Kaizo hacks are NOT my thing.
so if you can kinda narrow down what you would like to play, i can definitely assist, but that is a question that only you yourself can truly answer.
@@Aoi2012 now as for my OWN preferences i'm all about level hacks and those that go beyond just being a level hack, some of my favorites are Super Mario RPG Armageddon, Final Fantasy Ultima, Super Mario World - Master Hand's Doomsday, Streets of Rage 2 - Sketch Turner, Shining Tactics (hack of Shining Force 2) and others that just arent coming to mind atm.
“Cinnamon Toast Crunch… the breakfast of a true gamer.” Truer words have never been spoken. Keep the hits coming Joe. Stupid Dave is missing out. Who needs a dumb ol’ family, when you have a full Game Sack and an extra large box of CTC.
Game Sack is the best channel. Thanks Joe. (And occasionally Dave).
*Genesis games - enhanced colors by Pyron (Brazil) are a great work! For example, SF II remastered edition [2020]*
Propably the greatest end segment in Gamesack history.
From my understanding, the reason Vitor hacked SMW was to facilitate the conversion of existing, and development of new rom hacks that lift the limit on sprites to a crazy level
With GameSack i click the Like button even before watching the video.
Thare is many people who make new levels of Goldeneye 007, that is amazing.
Thanks for that ending skit. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
I always have this phrase in mind with cease and desist orders. "You tell me to cease and desist and I will tell you to cease TO exist in return!"
Glad to see that you're one of the glorious night people, assuming you're in the U.S. anyways.
He actually lives in 32X Land
@@lateralus92 Genesis Land got hit by gentrification.
@@DP12321 Lol!
Best. Ending. Sketch. Ever.
Look like a young Ron Perlman. Awesome thorough reviews here
At this point I feel like I have to stay up every other Saturday till at least 1am to catch the latest episode.
Phew. Those Gameboy Mario tunes. Still so catchy.
I feel sorry for the Team who worked on that Chrono Trigger ROM Hack and it getting C&D'd by Square. What a Shame
just gotta love how game companies attack fan games like that, it's not like anybody's trying to make money here, it's a labor of love, like Fan Art on steroids.
Joe should have poured some Mountain Dew into that Cinnamon Toast Crunch for maximum gamer
Good ol Game Sack❤
With the homebrew games what we really notice is that the original games, sounds and music could be far better, even on genesis /mega drive.
For the physical episode, check out 2minds who are publishing master system homebrews physically.
I watch every GameSack episode.
There is a hack for secret of mana which restores a lot of the story (some parts just seems rushed in the original, as that game was originally intended for snes-cd and was brutally amputated in order to fit in a cartridge), also its been fully retranslated from the japanese rom...
Sonic Z-Treme looks absolutely amazing. I would love to see that homebrew get worked on some more.
It show what sonic xtreme would have look like if sega could have gave sti more freedom in programming it.
That SNES super Mario land remake is fantastic. It’s missing that very little bit to seem like a commercial title, but it’s ever so close.
Makes me wish Nintendo did give it the Zelda treatment on the switch.
Mario land is probably the Mario game I revisit the most
I'd like to see a hack for Master of Darkness for sms that makes it look more like castlevania
I just rewatched the Sega Master System episode and thought EXACTLY that during the Montage
That would be cool to see
That'd be a nice idea. Maybe even just make the gameplay more like it, like have a whip as a weapon. Then it'd be sorta like a "lost" castlevania game. Cos it's very well designed and fun to play anyway, so making it into literally a castlevania game makes a lot of sense. You could even call it the "real" Castlevania 2 (for those who hated the metronidvania layout and gameplay in castlevania 2 Simon's quest).
Just when I'm trying to fall asleep at work. I love the hack/homebrew episodes!
i like Homebrews but i absolutely LOVE Hacks! especially the kind that add either new characters to play or new levels to complete, there are some hacks that just take the original game to a whole other level!
That SNES Mario Land game looks amazing.
Wow, that Sonic homebrew was impressive! Can't believe you didn't mention the ultra smooth animation of Sonic! That was the very first thing I noticed, all of his animations are FAR smoother with WAY more frames!
Like seriously, this is Sonic Mania levels of smoothness here! In fact I bet that's where they got the animations from. Amazing that the Genesis can handle it. Very impressive stuff! I wish someone could make a hack of all of the original games to have that sort of animation in them!
Hey Joe, a recent hack you should check out is the Lord Hiryu hack of Super Street Fighter 2 for the Mega Drive/Genesis that was released around Christmas. It's a color and sprite hack that brings it a lot closer to the arcade. It also includes the sound hack too. He's adding and fixing a few things for the next version, but it looks great currently.
Been waiting for an episode like this for a while, great work Joe your work is so impressive 👏
This channel should have at least 1 million subscribers
Wow. That saturn sonic game looks very impressive
My frothing demand for Joe's shirt increases.
Amazing episode, Joe! one thing, though: Project Z-treme evolved into Hellslave, which is -arguably- one of the most ambitious software pieces on the Saturn nowadays... I mean, transparencies everywhere, dynamic lights, high res textures, etc. Check it out!
One of the few edges I get from living in my timezone is that a new Game Sack episode caps off my Sunday evening as I sip (preferably) a couple of bottles of beer.
you should review the game chasers. they are pretty good hacks.
agreed
Man I love this chanel great stuff keep it up
I've never played Bug! before but I was getting Bug! vibes from that Sonic Z-Treme game.
Dat Face @27:30 lol Just so happen to pause it at that moment. This was good episode as well as all of your guys episodes. Keep them Cool and Nerdy
The music in that Sonic hack was very cool to hear. Just goes to show what’s possible with FM synthesis and how uncreative programmers can be today with PCM audio being a no-brainer on all modern platforms. No one is pushing modern hardware that way these days.
Quake player here.
Stages are not inspired, but a true copy.
"inspired" :)
i have been WAITING for this episode!
I assumed the name for Sonic Z-Treme was less a reference to X-Treme and more the idea that this Sonic game is using the Z axis (3D), whereas all Genesis games were just X and Y.
Clock tower Deluxe came out a few months ago. In addition to adding stuff from the ps1 version, it adds snes mouse support, the ability to run up and down stairs(Like clock tower 2) faster stamina regeneration, and a bunch of bug fixes. Its the best way to play clock tower, but it requires multiple patches(The english patch and the patch for this hack.)
The other one is materialbound redux. This is mostly a bugfix/uncensoring patch for earthbound. It fixes grammar, fixes localization errors, uncensored things from the earthbound. The best part is the optional msu-1 soundtrack. It is what would happen if earthbound came out on a 32-bit console. The rom has been expanded as well as it requires a 4mb rom. There is also quality of life improvements like Unique overworld enemy sprites, A new control scheme that allows you to quickly do commands, photosensitive reduction for things that needed it, and apparently its fully hardware compatable(Not so sure about the msu-1 audio though.)
The Saturn 1MB to 4MB hacks are mostly just so you can play games without having to swap between multiple cartridges as some games are only compatible with the 1MB version.
There is an amazing hack of SOR2 where every time you defeat an enemy character they do the Tim Allen, Home Improvement, confused grunt.
That ending had a lot of TUDE!
Joe, teenage mutant hero turtles wasnt over the whole of europe, I think it was only england and germany that had the hero title instead of ninja, we in scandinavia had the standard awesome ninjas ;)
Same in former Yugoslavia.
Another great episode! Some really great ones here!!
Awesome, new video. I hope everybody washes their Game Sack after playing lol 😆
It was great to see you on EPN, Victor is awesome!
Yeah that was fun!
@@GameSack senpai noticed me lol 😆 Thanks bro!
Thank you Joe I can now play my perfect boxed copy of Hagane guilt free 👍👍
this goes to my top 5 ending segments for gamesack!
Note to self: Never give Square Enix money again. Great video as always.
You're Naive as hell
@@jbfarley Great retort, you totally convinced me, now I'm cured.
game sack: super hang on is over looked
yakuza series enters the chat
Looking forward to the next episode.
I laughed pretty damn hard at that end sketch. Definitely one of the better ones.
Best end segment EVER!!!!!
I would subscribe to a channel of just the ending skits and watch every video.
th-cam.com/channels/KbM0nOIaBgT9r0EKByiH9w.html I still need to upload some of the more recent ones.
@@GameSack haha it's really exists thanks for the link
Awesome video! I had no idea Saturn homebrew was so advanced.
Sonic Z-treme kinda reminds me of that Captain Toad game. Looks fun!
Every time i see game sack, i gotta click!
Thanks for pointing out the difference between Lo-Roms and Hi-Roms, hopefully some of those Lo ones will be converted to the better versions of themselves.
I wish video game companies would cease and desist their cease and desists
Game Sack videos have gone live at the same time, basically, since the channel's inception.
Everyone in the comments: "Ohhh, man I was gonna get some sleep, but I had no idea a new Game Sack episode would be posted".
I also love how people think Joe times the uploads to always release late at night manually instead of... you know, utilizing the TH-cam feature that handles this for you... and that he stays up for some reason.
@Back from the Deadpool Lol... good point.
The ending was epic.
There is actually a hack of CT: Crimson Echoes called CT: Flames of Eternity. A hack of a hack.
Crimson Echoes also has "finished" version called Flames of Eternity. Also Sonic Ztreme uses official assets for the levels, and the levels themselves were apparently made by another group for Project ASXS.
the super mario land creator wants to stay anonymous.
Nintendo: (cracks knuckles) release the ninjas...
And just when I was about to pass out.
Same
