 ## What is Hackdex?
 
 Hackdex is a community hub for discovering and sharing Pokémon romhack patches. Players link their own legally obtained base roms once, then easily patch locally in the browser and download the patched rom. Hackdex only stores patches, screenshots, and metadata—never any roms—so distribution stays practical without any of the legal pitfalls. Creators get a consistent place to publish, version, and present their projects.
