Romhack List
SMW Central is the main website for all of your YI (and SMW) romhacking needs. They host a large library of completed hacks, as well as everything you'll need to create your own! Keep in mind that not every YI hack that exists is SMW Central (e.g. single level hacks). We'll try our best to do that here:

Patching/Playing Romhacks
Since it's not legal to share ROMs, you'll have to get one elsewhere. However, sharing patches is perfectly legal, as they only contain the changes made to the game (custom levels, assets, code, etc.). Patches can be applied online here [7] or locally with the program Floating IPS (Flips) [8] - either method is fine though.
It's recommended that you use the web patcher because it's easier and more convenient.
Web Patcher
Steps:
1. Select an unmodified 1.0 (U) ROM of Yoshi's Island.
2. Select the patch you want to use.
3. Rename the ROM (if you want to).
4. Click "Patch".
