Hello everyone, I'm kinda new here.
I'm almost finished with the only PS1 hack I can find (Hordes of Nei) and it's great.
I was wondering if there were any other hacks, or if someone would want to collaborate on a new hack with me. This game is too good to have only one hack.

PS1 hacks would actually be pretty damn cool. And I'd assume slightly easier to pull off than the other games due to it's complete lack of plot linearity.
What I mean by that is that the game is driven by what items you have as opposed to what plot points you've hit (except for the bits after Lassic, anyway). Granted, they tend to go together, but you could just as easily cheat yourself a key item and skip half the game with no consequence.
As such, messing with all the graphics and dialogue shouldn't cause much trouble, and all you'd have to be careful with is the items, though they should probably be easily renamable and such.
This is all, of course, pure assumption.
PS1 may be quaint but it and PS4 represent all my best PS related memories. I'd love to see what else people could do with it.

I agree. I also like to replay PS2 a lot.
But what better way to replay a great game than to make it a little harder. That's the twist with the PS1 hack I'm playing now. The only other changes are that Noah is renamed Lutz and there are Nei weapons.

i havent played Hoards yet. ill have to give it a shot. i just hope its not a grindfest.
having the room to self-impose a few rules can make replay a lot more interesting (especially when its replay #27). last time i played PS2 i used only ROLF and NEI until NEI died at NeiFirst. then i had a bunch of ppl wanting to help me fix the dams
also, all of the transporters were broken except for the ones that go to Skure, and there were no clone labs 
it was a very nice play-thru, and it kinda made sence that i only had NEI for the first section of the game too.
PS1 replay is interesting in that not only can you do things in different orders, but you can also just skip some dungeons completely
