Animaniacs (Sega Genesis) ROM hack demo - Reboot logo
62I'm not a ROM hacker, but I've finally figured out how to hack Konami's Sega Genesis Animaniacs game to reverse-engineer some graphics such as tilesets, tilemaps, palettes, frame orders and metasprite data, editing and putting some of the assets back to the ROM and modify the codes to change jump points into new compressed and raw uncompressed files to get the mod running emulated and on the real console.
I'm here to show you the short demonstration of the reboot logo on the title screen for the ROM hack of the Genesis version of Animaniacs, but I won't release it until further notice.
If you have trouble or difficulties on hacking the game, ask the skilled ROM hackers or the tool's creator to help you.
