There have been a couple fun hacks finished recently if anyone wants to try them out. Neither of these are my work but since they have only really been given exposure in the NTM Discords, I thought I'd cross post them here with permission for anyone interested.

First is from an NTM Discord user named StiNKz. This is a course, hole order, and pin randomizer (it originally had randomized tree type but that was cut because they would change mid shot and would have required more work to implement.

You can find the P rom in my Google Drive below, just download it, swap the P rom in a regular MAME set of turfmast.zip, and it should work anywhere NTM would work.


Next a pin randomizer hack by a Fightcade player/Discord user named byxor that can be adjusted for minimum or maximum craziness including off the green pins (including OB, water, and green side bunker locations).

byxor said:
I've uploaded the first version of my pin randomizer - please let me know if this works or if you encounter any trouble


I can't share the ROM directly on the website for legal reasons, so I've included a patch that (hopefully) works on multiple operating systems.

If you want to play with random pins online, send me a message and I'll share a pre-patched ROM we can both use. If you want to play 2 player, both players need the same ROM or they'll desync.

I've played both hacks on the Backbit and byxor's hack in versus play on Fightcade.

These sound great, thanks for sharing. Back when I was frequently playing this, the thing I dreamed of was a way to get the extreme wind only seen during 2P match play, in single player.

I know it isn't exactly what you're looking for but byxor also did some work changing byte values using Cheat Engine to adjust wind, including going beyond the game's cap of 15mph (it can be set up to 19mph).
