DO NOT BUY OR SELL REPRODUCTION COPIES OF THIS HACK.

Introduction

Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition is a hack of AKI Corporation's Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 on the Nintendo 64. The hack replaces various default VPW2 wrestlers with other wrestlers, most of whom have been in other AKI wrestling games. Unlike most other AKI wrestling game modding projects, the changes in VPW2 freem Edition are made by editing the ROM, meaning the resulting hack can be played on real hardware.

If you want to chat about the hack, there is a Discord server available.

A new version of VPW2 freem Edition is now available. This version brings the hack to 90% completion, but will be the last version that uses my current hacking methods (i.e. VPW Studio and a hex editor). For information on what's changed in this release, check the changelog.

This is the last version that supports regular Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 Controller Pak save data.
