These are difficulty ratings from romhacking.com on July 1st, 2025.


Things to keep in mind:

1) The ratings are not perfect. They only show what a few people think about the difficulty of these hacks.

2) Mind the low gaps. Most of these hacks have basically the same difficulty, you will not necessarily notice a difference of 0.50.

3) Don't feel like you need to play hacks in this order. There are three kinds of difficulties listed here.
If you can beat just one hack of one difficulty category, you should be ready to play any hack from the next category.
You can absolutely take yourself some freedom to play these hacks in almost any order you like to.

4) "Difficulty" is kind of arbitrary. Some hacks will have the same difficulty from start to finish, but most hacks will start out easy and become harder to the end.
These numbers don't tell you anything about that. They might even give you a wrong impression of their real difficulty.

5) Don't feel intimidated by high ratings. Most hacks still have an easy beginning and will introduce you to higher difficulty.
You don't need to be an expert to have fun with "advanced difficulty". If you have beaten any few hacks in this list,
you don't need to fear that any other hack listed here is "too hard".

6) These ratings often show how hard it is to get _every_ star in the hack.
If this is not your goal, the hack might be a bit, or sometimes much easier to make progress in than the rating suggests.
