About Metroid Romhacks
A collection of fan-made romhacks of Metroid games: new levels, mechanics and stories built on the classics.
Romhacks are fan modifications of original Metroid cartridges. Communities have created everything from small difficulty tweaks to full new adventures with custom levels, graphics and stories.
They are non-commercial fan works; this page links to a browser-playable collection.

How to play Metroid Romhacks in your browser
- Press Play in browser — the game opens on romhaven.com in a new tab.
- Wait while the game files load. The first start can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your connection; later starts are faster because the browser caches the files.
- Click inside the game window so it captures the keyboard and mouse, then switch to fullscreen (F11 or the host's fullscreen button).
- Open the in-game settings to adjust controls, graphics and sound. Progress is normally kept in your browser storage, so don't clear site data if you want to keep your saves.
Metroid Romhacks controls
Default layout for this browser version. Keys can differ between builds, and most hosts let you rebind them in the settings. A USB or Bluetooth gamepad usually works too.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Move | Arrow keys |
| Action | Console buttons are mapped to keys — see the host's settings |
| Start / confirm | Enter |
| Menu / pause | Esc |
| Gamepad | Recommended — connect it before starting |
What to expect from the browser version
The browser version of Metroid Romhacks is an independent web project — a port, recompilation or fan remake — hosted on romhaven.com. It is not an official release from Fan project, and MePlayable does not host any game files: we describe the game and link to the project.
Requirements
A modern desktop browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera or Safari 16+ — with WebAssembly and WebGL enabled, at least 4 GB of RAM and a stable connection for the first load. Hardware acceleration should be switched on in the browser settings.
If Metroid Romhacks doesn't start
- Black screen or endless loading — update the browser, enable hardware acceleration and reload the page with Ctrl+F5.
- No sound — click inside the game window: browsers only allow audio after you interact with the page.
- Lag or low FPS — close other heavy tabs and programs, then lower the resolution or graphics settings in the game.
- The site doesn't open — the host may be temporarily down or blocked in your region. Try again later or use another project link on this page.
