SnesLab:About
Who are we?
SnesLab is a web community of people with a passion for retrogaming, particularly for the SNES. If you are interested in creating content, making ROM hacks or just discussing your favorite old school games, this is the place for you!
Goals
Our main goal is to create a common gathering place for all ROM hackers, and ROM hack fans of the SNES. For this, we must collect as much data as we can on all the games in the platform, including technical information, source codes, and hacking tools.
This wiki serves as a repository for all this information and we aim to make it the number one place for anyone looking to know more about the SNES, either for ROM hacking, creating homebrew games, learn ASM or just geeks who want to know how the system works.
Last but not least, we strive to build a friendly community were we can chill, talk about our favorite games, share our creations and have a good time.
History
SnesLab was not always a community; in fact, it was not always called SnesLab. Everything started as a small group of people gathered by former SMW Central administrator Vitor Vilela on September 2, 2018, to work on the next release of Lunar Magic, the level editor for Super Mario World. To make communication easier, Vitor made a Discord server, which he named Vilelab.
As time passed, more people were invited to Vilelab, some of which were not related to the Lunar Magic project. It was then when Vitor realized his small server had the potential to become a community, this would open the doors for more big scale projects and attract new people to the SNES ROM hacking scene.
On February 2019 it was decided that Vilelab should no longer be a small discord server, but a whole community with a website and a wiki. Thus the server was renamed and announced publicly, giving birth the SnesLab we know today.
