FF6 Beyond Chaos Randomizer vs Hollow Knight Randomizer 4

FF6 Beyond Chaos Randomizer creates a new Final Fantasy VI mod by randomly remixing game content each time it runs. Players use flags to choose what changes and can select modes including normal, three cave modes, K at N, and dragon hunt. The project says its basic flags permit over 10 billion possible randomizations. Each generated seed produces a patched ROM and a mini-FAQ with details such as item locations, shop information, and monster abilities. Sharing the integer seed lets others generate the same randomization. The free randomizer supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is also listed for Super Nintendo-compatible hardware; the project says it works on a real Super Nintendo and has been tested on Super Everdrive and SD2SNES. Windows users are directed to the release ZIP. Non-Windows systems need Python 3.7 or higher, and Python 2 is no longer supported. It requires an FF3 US 1.0 ROM, which the project cannot provide. Windows executable users get sprite assets at startup, while console-mode users download them manually.

Hollow Knight Randomizer 4 is a free Windows mod that changes item placements and transitions for Hollow Knight patch 1.5 and later. Item pools can include skills, charms, keys, shards, relics, maps, grubs, and boss essence. Transition settings range from no randomization to Map Area Randomizer, Full Area Randomizer, and Room Randomizer. Additional options include Randomize Swim, Randomize Nail, Split Claw, Split Cloak, and Split Superdash. Players can save and load settings profiles, and generate shareable codes for base randomizer settings; codes correspond to a specific mod version. RandoSettingsManager can synchronize randomizer settings and most connection mod settings, with an internet connection required for its codes. The mod writes tracker, helper, and spoiler logs to the Randomizer 4 folder in the save directory. It requires Hollow Knight Modding API for patch 1.5 or later, MenuChanger, ItemChanger, RandomizerCore, and RandomizerCore.Json. It does not support Hollow Knight patches 1.4.3.2 or earlier. Benchwarp and QoL are strongly recommended and may be necessary for some logic or modes. The repository identifies the license as LGPL-2.1.
