That's a good reason why someone would lock their hack, since doing so gives the game a rather professional flair - though the "locking" is unintentional in this case.īut as for your main point about why someone would want to close their work to begin with, it really just depends on how you look at hacking, or just content creation in general. I think the most common is when people use a hex editor to change the ROM's internal name from "SUPER MARIOWORLD" to something more personal.
Well first of all, there are various ways in which an SMW hack can be "locked" out of LM to begin with.
Its against the very spirit that allowed him to do his work (hack or mod) in the first place. A "modder" of any kind is an hypocrite when he closes his own work. Thing is, why? The only reason the hack is possible is because the original game was opened up in some way for editing.
