I found this patch today on a ROM website (which I will not reveal for obvious reasons):
http://xlib.mtv-music-generator.com/XkaShackDemo.zip
This is a Super Mario World (Super Nintendo) hack. The zip file contains an IPS patch you must apply to the original ROM (Super Mario World US version will do). And no don't ask for the ROM nor where to find it, it is illegal to redistribute ROMs. IPS files are fine, though. What's special about this SMW hack in particular is that it completly replaces the original game with a Rickroll. Those who thought the SNES could only do MIDI-style sounds, you are wrong. This rickroll is the original song in a surprinsgly high quality, playing with the original videoclip, altough in a very pixelated resolution, but still impressive considering it's for a Super Nintendo console. A SNES emulator is probably the most unexpected place to be rickroll'd. What's next? Well, if you want to try it out and even prank your friends, or hell, prank people who begs you for ROM files on MSN with this pretending it's a real game! :P
EDIT: I found a Youtube video of the hack in action in Zsnes (I personally tried the patched game in both Snes9x and Zsnes) but unfortunately the sound quality is bad and doesn't do the hack justice. Plus, the video description contain links to illegal download sites of you know what and I don't want that. I will try to post a video of it myself later with comments disabled.
EDIT 2: Here's video of it in action with no ROM links

I'm telling you calculator+real sound=rickroll on calculator.

There is, alerady :P

It requires an USB cable and takes almost an hour to send to calc, though :P, because with my old serial cable it timeouts. There's always Wabbitemu tho.
If Jim_E ever released that video based realsound 2 and if it was combined with Msd8x technology then we would even have the video :P

Aw...video link is broked. Cool concept though. Also, @noah: yes.

link broken

Someone used that for an Earthbound mod with chrono trigger fiight styles. It was a cool idea, but fake. Rickroll FTW!
-
ohh yeah lol, ive known about xkashack for a loong time (ever since i was developing my smw hack). I even downloaded it too :p I probably still have it even..
edit: oh.. lol just looked at the post date of when DJ posted that XD
-
Wow necropost, lol :P
But yeah the link has been down for almost a year because when UTI switched hosting provider, they did not carry all hosted sub-domains over, only the ones their respective owners requested. I did not send a request so omnimaga.unitedti.org was wiped. Also I lost access 2 years ago anyway.

Aww....:(
-
nice, im impressed at these hacks and the amount that are found
-
This isn't Mario-related, but it's kinda on-topic in some ways. I wonder if this is fake or not, but this is absolutely epic! ;D ;D ;D
Watch all of it. :D
Poor Sonic... losing 3 lives at once D:
-
Wow. Had Dr. Robotnik knew Rick Astley... Poor Sonic.
Also, the video seems real. And very well made.

My favorite part is really the song arrangment, though. It really sound cool and if it happens to be fake, then the arrangment really sounds legit. The rom hack is funny, though.
