“Is Very Cool And Awesome”
A mod add's stuff to an existing game and a rom hack changes the entire game, and SRB2 is basically its own entire game at this point so wouldn't it technically be a rom hack?
So srb2 itself is not a romhack simply becauss it works on a edited engine(doom legacy) and works its own wayA mod add's stuff to an existing game and a rom hack changes the entire game, and SRB2 is basically its own entire game at this point so wouldn't it technically be a rom hack?
SRB2 builds upon the source code of the DOOM Legacy Engine. Saying that SRB2 is a ROM hack of Doom is like saying that Sonic 2 is a ROM hack of Sonic 1. They aren't ROM hacks at all and simply use the same engine
I asked this question mostly because alot people have been saying SRB2 is a mod of doom's legacy engine and a couple thoughts and questions linger through my head when people say that.So srb2 itself is not a romhack simply becauss it works on a edited engine(doom legacy) and works its own way
A rom hack is a edited rom to create a new experience
While srb2 works all by itself and not via another sonic game
Not how it works.A mod add's stuff to an existing game and a rom hack changes the entire game, and SRB2 is basically its own entire game at this point so wouldn't it technically be a rom hack?
Yes, for example Knuckles in Sonic 1 is a romhack of Sonic 1.Not how it works.
ROM hacks modifies ROMs. Mods are the general term. ROM hacks are a subtype of mod. The only difference is that ROM hacks modify ROMs specifically.
Also, some ROM hacks are really minor changes, lol.
SRB2 doesn't modify a ROM, and therefore is just a source code mod.

Sonic 3 AIR on the other hand is a sourceport of Sonic 3&K as it takes elements from the S3&K rom to put into a new engine.
Sonic Before the Sequel is a fangame replicating the Genesis games with a different engine.

It's not a romhack.
Actually it doesn't even use a rom to begin with.
Also, this isn't a Doom mod either.

So srb2 is basically its own game just using dooms engine. But why are people this a mod?So srb2 itself is not a romhack simply becauss it works on a edited engine(doom legacy) and works its own way

Okay, you know how SRB2 Kart is considered a mod of SRB2 but it's its own game? It's the same conceptSo srb2 is basically its own game just using dooms engine. But why are people this a mod?

I've never heard anyone call Mania a romhack. There is a romhack of Sonic 1 that replicates Mania howevert really grinds my gears when people calls Sonic Mania a romhack or Robo Blast 2 a Doom mod.
I think it was a derogatory term from some salty people to call it a "glorified romhack"...I've never heard anyone call Mania a romhack. There is a romhack of Sonic 1 that replicates Mania however
Ah I gotcha now. The “lowest” nickname I’ve ever heard it being called was “The Official Fangame” which is somewhat true, but they’re a talented group of people who make a living off of making games, so I find it kinda rudeI think it was a derogatory term from some salty people to call it a "glorified romhack"...
