WARNING, this is a semi-real rom hack(will explain later) but is illegally taking donations for a commercial project on a licensed Nintendo product. Under the fair use doctrine this is illegal but to circumvent the law they could make it "educational" however that would require them to give out documentation and in depth information on the rom hack(Redistribution of the game in rom or cartridge form would still be highly illegal). However It appeared strange how the creator refused to do so, so after further investigation I've concluded it's actually a scam. Clever modifications done to make it appear as a full fledged project or rom hack.
For anyone who doesn't know, the creator of the Falco/Bomberman characters rom hack started his own project recently. At first glance everything appears legitimate since he has previously created custom characters in SSB64 by modifying their geo layout. However after further analyzing the video it's blatantly obvious the project is not what the video shows. It appears as if he's created an entirely new character skeleton, implemented his own moves, animations and behaviors. And made all of this into one single rom hack. However none of this is the case, probably because it would be too time consuming or difficult for him to do. As things stand the reason there was no release of documentation or the modifications made is because the rom hack is not what it was presented to Kickstart donors as.
(Here is my comment on his kickstarter video explaining how and what's fake/a scam, reference this when watching their video)
LIST OF PROOF THIS IS A SCAM AND NOT EVEN A REAL "ROM HACK" (It's just clever video editing, texture editing and an already known method of editing the geolayout of character models)
1:26 - 1:28 the cursors reset positions when he "presses L", it was far fetched to begin with that he would create entirely new characters and not modify existing ones.
1:48 - 1:51 He made the star rod invisible so it appears as if he replaces the characters attack with a different attack.
Entire Video Was was replacing existing characters with new geometry data. Conker is ness, geomon is mario, rayman is luigi, and banjo was Fox holding an invisible star rod. (Damage is exactly same as star rod) Ultimately this is a "fake rom hack" or rather not what he presents it as. You cannot play as Conker and fight Ness. Nothing here is worth 10k, not even 100 dollars. IT's entirely a scam to make money. Anyone with knowledge could do this, there just has never been an incentive to do so. However illegaly taking money for a scam is not an incentive to make a SSB64 rom hack, it's called greed. You're going to get sued and I'll make damn sure of it if you recieve a single cent for this. I will notify the entire Smash Bros 64 community that this is a scam and should not be taken seriously.
I will not be linking anything related to this rom hack here. You can google it your self. I highly suggest everyone report their kickstarter (scroll to bottom of kickstarter page, click the report button and login with FB/register account) as well as all of their information to Nintendo of America. I personally wrote an IC3 report on with all the information on the creators/owners I had.
