Bregalad

Bregalad here. I am mostly a homebrew/NES developer but I also do some small romhacks when I feel the need to.


I am not much into “full” ROM hacks, rather in small improvements that makes games closer to what they should have been when they were released.


I also did some hacks that allows games to be played on a PAL console without suffereing too much the differences with NTSC.


Oh and finally I like writing my own tools to do work when there is not what I want on the market.
