The Future and HD packs.

I've seen some nes hacks getting hd packs. Not sure if any snes emulators support this. But they will someday, will this site host hd packs or hacks that utilize them?
that sounds very dumb, so i hope not
And why excatly do you think reskining games to look newer sounds dumb?
Because they're highly restrictive and palette-based. You can't just plop in a texture and expect it to work with no effort.
I never said it wouldn't take effort, still not seeing how that makes it dumb. But I can see this going no where fast.
If it ever becomes a thing, then it'd likely not be us that hosts them no, since that has nothing to do with ROM hacking.
Your layout has been removed.

noivern the bat from pokemon x/y sort of touched upon it. games are tile based, palette based, stuff is shoved into vram haphazardly, tilemaps are arranged haphazardly, and etc. its dumb because it'll look dumb. snes games moreso than nes games rely on graphical unity for presentation, because they were able to do so due to snes expanded graphical capability. hd packs would just completely crap on them. hd packs for nes is dumb too but the games had simple gfx/tilemaps so it doesnt really matter

Ok, thank you.

If you want an HD Mario experience, there's always the newer games like NSMB (Wii) or even the fan-made SMBX, which supports double resolution textures.

im all for hd graphics
i wish there was some kind of dedicated emulator that could load hacks with extended view (for 1080p or more resolution) and apply some really nice filtering. and could solve the input lag issue.

mean while i sometimes use snes9x with the 6xBRZ image processing which i think does a very good job on "upgrading" the image quality

Thanks for the suggestion, I have done some Nsmb wii hacking. Unfortunately for me I find smbx's physics kinda wonky and I don't play it.
