Thanks for the link. now i just need to find some good hacks here. Most hacks are just small changes, nothing special. Im looking for some really good hacks, like Mario Adventure http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/63
Homebrew games would be really fun to!

Can someone mention only one good hack or homebrew game out there? thanks! =)

Legend of Zelda Outlnds is considered a good hack. (I've never tried it)

Solar Wars is considered a fun homebrew (again, I've never tried it)

It's a shame that Mario Adventure won't work well on the real NES Hardware. I was looking forward to putting that on a cart.

You may be able to play some of those hacks, etc.. on the Power Pak.

One that looks really good in an emulator is a port of Super Mario World from the SNES to the NES.

It uses mapper 90 which is not supported on the Power Pak (yet) and cant be put on a donor cart (since no US donors exist with that mapper)
