These hacks usually change most/all of the graphics, and may modify the music slightly. Later hacks fully replaced the music with brand-new tracks. Inventor is only explicitly credited in a small number of these, so the extent of its involvement is unknown. Some more notes about the listing:
- Any games with extensive amounts of Japanese text have been translated into (mostly broken) English.
- Sometimes the music cues are swapped around, other times they are completely corrupted, possibly to either intentionally hide copyright (badly), or as a side effect of hacking the game.
- Many games feature a specific, generic character who resembles a cute-ified Ninja Turtle. For consistency, it will be referred to as "Conte" in the listing (after the game "Conte Enegy").
- There are many "alternate" versions of preexisting Inventor hacks that only modify the music and colors; these have not been documented here.
- Most, if not all "Advanced" hacks change the graphics, remove all sound effects, and/or replace all music tracks with a single new track.
