Isn’t this a Remake rather than Remaster?

The color scheme, more dense and compact styles, non floating tabs, less rounded, and here and there stuff. I even changed something after posting. Being able to make changes to the UI with custom CSS is amazing on Firefox.

Ah it looks so clean and dense, love it. So much better than what is proposed to be changed into. At least we can make adjustments with custom CSS. Mine matches the system theme (from the operating system) BTW. :-)

I don’t like this style, floating and rounded corners. This is (customized) how my Firefox looks and I like it and I don’t want to change it:

I doubt it runs on linux. Last time I tried 15 years ago, it ran but everything was black and the mouse wouldn’t capture within the game window.

Civ Revolution is not available for PC. So did you try a different Civ game on Linux? If you want play the PS3 version again and have a powerful machine, then emulating PS3 with RPCS3 is an option. The compatibility rating for the game on the emulator is rated as Playable.

EDIT: Oh you was talking about Civ3! Looks like I can’t read, sorry. Well Looking at recent ProtonDB user reports, looks like Civ3 is playable on Linux. But its not perfect, reports say without music and you need to install C3X. I personally have no experience, so cannot assist further.

Enjoy. :-) Every day there are new or updated ones (I mean on the websites where I get them). This keeps me busy and can’t wait to update this package next year again. :-p

This is a tough question to answer, there is so much to choose from. I didn’t play most of them. But I think there are interesting ones as a starting point:

Super Mario World_

• Hack: Series of short mods with interesting gimmics and level ideas.
• 'the: A non jump and run game, more like an atmospheric adventure, a creepypasta experience.
• Castlemania: Inspired by NES Castlevania style and retro look, a hard game.
• SMW Friends and Rivalry: A more traditional Mario like level design. Full on game with over 90 levels

Chrono Trigger_

• Crimson Echoes: A very high quality production and maybe the best Chrono Trigger Romhack. This was actually never really finished officially, because it got hit by a cease and desist by Square. There is also Flames of Eternity, which took Crimson Echoes and worked on it without permission. Therefore its very controversal.
• Prophets Guile: From the same guys who made Crimson Echoes, another high quality mod. This one is short. It tells the story of Magus, how he rise to power in Kingdom of Zeal.

Final Fantasy 6_

There are actually lots of these complete rebalance and feature rich improvements. I just picked on of them here.

• A Soldiers Contingency (Extended Bestiary Edition): Comprehensive gameplay expansion and overhaul. It’s still the same game, but less tedious battles and no grinding, rebalancing and ton of features and addons.

Super Mario Kart_

• Hyper Street Kart: With characters and items from Street Fighter. It is not the best mod, but noteworthy theme and very popular.
• Mario Kart R: Another popular mod. Has new courses, music and graphics.
• Reverse (Mirror Mode): If you just want to play the same game, but racing to the other direction instead.

F-Zero_

• BS F-Zero Deluxe US: (play v1.1) This one has a very interesting story behind. It is based on the lost BS F-Zero game. Only video footage existed and some fans worked on it to recreate the tracks with computer aided functionalities. The result is very accurate, as if they had the real game. I highly recommend to read articles in the web about this very special mod: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/02/f-zero-courses-from-a-dead-nintendo-satellite-service-restored-using-vhs-and-ai/

Zelda 3_

• Parallel Remodel: A rework on one of the most popular and old Romhacks for this game, called Parallel Worlds that was known for extreme difficulty. This tries to make it better playable and fair.
• The Hunters Song: A relatively new mod, with 3 new dungeons and story. I actually don’t know too much about this one, it seems to be popular.
• Conkers High Rule Tail: A complete change fo the game. Play as Conker from Conkers BAd Fur Day with lots of new stuff.

Super Metroid_

• Redesign Axeil Edition: Another rework of a classic mod named Redesign, that tries to make it better playable. There are new items, changed physics, new abilities and so on. Still a hard game to play.
• Ancient Chozo: It is based off the original maps, but expands it with new rooms, graphics, puzzles, music and so on.

Star Fox_

• EX: (just play v1.11) New levels, bosses, musics, graphics and ton of features! Play in wireframe mode or use SNES mouse.
• Sunlits STar Fox Minihack: (just play FastRom version) 6 new levels basically. I don’t have much information, but people like it.

Donkey Kong Country_

• Kremlings Revenge Remodel: It is a rework of an older mod. There are new graphics, levels and bonuses. Should be as difficult as the original game.

Look into their description, to learn a bit more before getting into. Or just run them and see what you get.

Small note on the download speed of Internet Archive. I think they throttle downloads outside from the US. A VPN might help (it made a huge difference for me in the past), but no guarantees.

No announcements about a closure on https://hshop.erista.me/announcements . If I understand correctly, both hShop and Myrient are operating independently and are hosted on erista.me.

Good to know. The question is, about the quality of the site (no ads, fast downloads, direct links) and so on.

I also did just upload a copy of a screenshot (not made by me). The screenshot here is the message from Discord or Telegram: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/3ce1c9cc-7332-4367-9acd-ed6948e5e735.png

For those who don’t read the article in its entirety and want to test the feature in current stable Firefox:

Split View can be enabled in Firefox 147 and Firefox 148 from about:config by setting the browser.tabs.splitView.enabled option to true

I tried it already and it works just normal like a splitview would work. I personally don’t have a use case for it… yet. I probably rather would just open a second window instead.

I don’t even know what All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros is.

It’s basically an official licensed Romhack, mostly (if not only I think) for graphics. “All Night Nippon” was a radio show and game was sold through lottery.

About time. This bugged me in the past a lot, as I like to customize my keybindings, because sometimes they conflict or interfere with my other bindings for my window manager.

Could someone explain what is happening here? Does Firefox have a builtin protection against DDOS specifically for Archive.ph? And why does it have it, why this specific site? Is there a protection for other sites too? I’m a bit confused here why Firefox itself would DDOS the site.
