if it's a rom hack then it shouldn't be playable on the real system. rom hacks are for emulators only.
No, that's simply false. ROM hacks typically are made to work on real hardware. It even includes this quote from the source
This hack can be played legally on any homebrew-enabled Wii or Wii U console.

That's even more wrong.
Romhacks have existed for consoles that didn't have a working emulator at the moment, there is simply no truth to the original statement.
that's not the definition of rom hack. a rom hack is a hack of the rom. a rom is something that you cannot find on the real hardware, but can download illegally. the correct term for your thing is mod.

In case you're not trolling, that's wrong. Assuming you don't actually believe the ROM magically appears once an emulator is made, where do you think the ROM comes from, and why is it called a ROM?

There is no distinction between a romhack and a mod, they are the same thing.

Yes and no and yes...

Even though both refer to the process of changing something (ROM, PC game file). A mod is more related to PC games, while a Hack refers mostly to ROMs derived from Console games. Some people also think that a mod refers to modify (so the name) an already modifiable source (most times using the source code made available by the devs or some kind of utility for the matter, so that's the reason mods are more related with PC games), while a hack refers to something that its not meant to be -easily- modifiable (like a console ROM).

There are some examples though where the console games' source code has been made available and a game version is made for other systems where it was not meant to be released, but in such case we are talking about ports, not hacks or mods 'per se' (yes, many changes/adjustments can be made to such ports too), and yes, there are some cases where a PC game file is modified even though it wasn't meant to be.

So to keep it simple and avoid more confusion, a mod is for PC games, and a hack for Console games.

Why so much effort over a non-issue? Technically, all "rom hacks" are mods of the original game. So, splitting hairs just seems... Pointless.

Has anyone got this to work on android MMJR2? I can't seem to make Mario spin.

It's weird.
Spin works in SMG2 on Dolphin MMJR2.
Spin works in Neo Mario Galaxy on base Dolphin.
But no spin in NMG on MMJR2.

You can even see the IR cursor waggling as if shaking but it doesn't register as a spin.

What's up?
