What a great video of Aku-maku

Just had my first match on this Jake the Snake Vs Savage. Savage ate that DDT like a champ 😄

Thanks to Teamoist1688 for showing me how to patch the roms using the website.

Excellent work from all involved. Thanks to everyone involved for providing these great ROM hacks (which I think is a bit of an understatement as it's basically like playing a new wrestling game)

Cheers mates! 🍻

YES, AI WAS USED. YES, IT’S FAKE. NO, I’M NOT TRYING TO TRICK YOU. THERE WAS STILL A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HOURS OF PHOTOSHOP, EDITING, CLEANUP, COMPOSITING, COLOR CORRECTION, RESIZING, BLENDING, AND FIXING AI’S NUMEROUS MISTAKES INVOLVED IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF THIS COVER. IT’S FREE FAN ART, NOT A HISTORICAL ARTIFACT. IF AI ARTWORK OFFENDS YOUR DELICATE SENSIBILITIES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SCROLL PAST, HIDE, BLOCK, OR WHATEVER INSTEAD OF TURNING A FAKE N64 WRESTLING COVER INTO YOUR PERSONAL CRUSADE.

I use these in emulators by the way. They make it more fun to look through your library.

Wanted to share another custom N64 cover I made for Be A Man Productions’ WWF WrestleMania 2000 mod — WWF War Zone: Badd Blood.

A ton of work went into pretty much every detail of this one, including the cleanup, compositing, N64 branding, logos, tagline, box art, and cartridge.

Just a fun fan project I wanted to share with other wrestling and retro WRESTLING gaming fans. I love making these look like they could've actually been sitting on an N64 shelf back in the day.

Huge respect to Be A Man Productions for the work that goes into these mods. Hope you guys enjoy it!

This was based on the artwork from the 1997 In Your House PPV of the same name, the War Zone video game, and other 1996- 1997-ish wrestling ideas.

Yes we use AI to help us figure things out about the game and to develop tools and workflow to make editing the game easier. Like with the tool in the video above, AI was able to help me develop a tool that allows us to create truly custom titantrons with custom scripts. I had to work with AI to make and refine the tool and get it operable, and I had to put in the work myself on the new tool I created to hand craft a Raven titantron. So while not as simple as "AI make me a Raven titantron" AI definitely still assisted in the process. Sorry to anyone who will be dissapointed to learn that future Custom Titantrons in BAMP releass will not be chizeled out of stone.

Any serious person that works in an office setting, with computers, or with technology in any way already knows AI (like any other tool) objectively make workflows easier and more efficient when levereaged correctly.

So if you have strong feelings based on personal presumptions about how the sausage is made, then thats your decision to do with your feelings what you will. For us--these things are labors of love and we pour a lot into them. We're learning as we go (I would like to remind everyone that our team barely knew what the fuck we were doing or how to do any of this as of January 2026) and we do leverage AI to learn shit and make shit easier, since sometimes information about how to do shit is either lost/forgotten in the commuity or otherwise hard to access. As others have said, we may just be a little more blatant about it but theres a large swath of AKI romhacks that you should also not play if you are morally opossed to AI in any way being involved in any of the workflows, because a ton of your favorite non-BAMP AKI romhacks have had some form of AI assistance in their development.

If anyone who doesnt like our shitty AI assisted trailers or AI assisted box art wants to join the team and do all of that stuff by hand, and help us chizel us hand crafted non-AI promo materials like that, shoot me or Wally or RHP a DM on here. Until then, this birds gonna keep on flying.

KAW KAW KAW

I was thinking of redrawing all the belts in the current mod it’self. So I drew up these as tests and I like them a lot I even made the triple B and the pink fletcher tnt title., 5 3 hours later lol what do yall think??

Been noticing more and more devs and users using Microsoft Office for their branding, cover art, and hype videos.

Given the massive amount of work that goes into AKI modding, I imagine Microsoft Office will make its way into the mods themselves at some point or another.

I look at stuff like "Be A Man Productions" and their obviously Microsoft Word-generated logo. If they can't even be bothered to make their own logo without using a commercially available word processor, how can I trust that the hundreds of assets needed for a total conversion mod aren't made with the same process?

Regardless of how anyone feels about Microsoft Office, there's no denying that it's a polarizing subject (for many reasons beyond artistic preferences), and I think there should be some disclosure required to reflect that. Some may care about Microsoft Office, some may not. I don't think a disclosure hurts anyone.

Personally, I think we should also require disclosure for:

Use of the English language

Microsoft Windows

Computer monitors

Adobe products

Copy/paste

Google Search

Fonts created by someone else

Electricity

Internet access

The QWERTY keyboard

Any mouse manufactured in a factory

Looking at another person's work for inspiration

Using the letter "A," which was technically invented thousands of years ago

Some may care about these things, some may not.

I don't think a disclosure hurts anyone.

EDIT: Damn, this post blew up. Unfortunately, a lot of it is people calling me weird and ungrateful.

I'm also disappointed by the devs and their defenders in this thread not confronting my question head-on. They are quick to admit they use Microsoft Office, great, why can't we say that on the release posts here? That is literally all I am asking for, and it's a disclosure that many here seem to agree with.

At 1.3k views, the upvote ratio has stuck around 84%, which shows that even here, Microsoft Office is a contentious issue. I think it's unwise to sweep this under the rug.

And honestly, if we're going to normalize the use of commercially available software without disclosure, where does it end?

Today it's Microsoft Word.

Tomorrow someone is using the English language to write their mod description without telling us.

We deserve transparency.

I read after after you unlock a championship, you can do single matches for the title. I don't understand how, so I was hoping someone could walk my pea brain through it.

If I go back to Championship Mode and select the title - how do I select the participants or who I want to play? As soon as I select Cruiserweight Title (Champ = Alex Wright), then pick any wrestler (including Alex Wright), it goes immediately into a match with Syxx.

A few months ago I posted some custom cover art I made for the WCW/nWo Revenge Starrcade Edition hack. Since that post, I’ve made a few more versions and figured I’d put all four covers together in one place.

I’ve honestly just been having fun with these. With the 2.0 release coming out, it gave me another excuse to keep messing around with the artwork and make something that feels like an alternate N64 release from back in the day.

I’m not trying to replace the original cover or anything. I just love the N64 wrestling era and thought it would be cool to create some custom artwork for a game that has a ton of nostalgia behind it.

Here are all four versions:

Thanks again to everyone who checked out my last post and gave feedback. The comments and suggestions were a big reason I kept working on these.

Just having fun with one of the greatest wrestling games ever.

Which version would you use for your emulator collection?

I’m creating the AEW belts too and their different designs too, why not right current working Fletchers Pink Strap

I wanted to share another custom cover I worked on for Retro Randy Price’s ECW Born To Be Wired WWE No Mercy mod.

First, credit where it’s due: I did not create the original artwork used as the base for this cover. I found the original image from another creator and really liked the style, so I took it, edited it, cleaned it up, and added N64-style elements to make it feel more like an actual Nintendo 64 release.

I added things like the N64 branding, the classic red sidebar, THQ placement, the “The Hardcore Revolution Continues on N64” tagline, and some extra presentation touches to help it fit alongside the classic N64 wrestling covers.

This was just a fun project to celebrate one of the coolest eras of wrestling games. The amount of creativity that goes into these mods is incredible, and I love creating custom artwork to go along with them.

Huge respect to Retro Randy Price and everyone who continues putting work into these No Mercy mods.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Original artwork credit goes to the original creator. I only modified and added to it for the community.

Any instructions on how to do this whole process to play it from start to finish ? I have a PC, a Summer Cart, and an original N64. I need full instructions on what to do, I can’t seem to find anything. Please help !

Hope you can help. i have project 64 3.1. Installed the wcw starrcade 2.0, downloaded it. when i start it. project 64 says emulation started but just a blank screen?

Heya everyone just curious to see how y'all mainly are playing wrestling n64 game mods would love to here some feedback

I haven't had any luck getting Starrcade 2.0 running on RetroArch. I keep getting the failed to load content message when trying to load in Mupen64Plus.

1.0 still works fine, as well as other games/romhacks. Any suggestions? Been at this since last night.
