Summary of "Mega Hack V8 VS Eclipse | Which is a better mod menu? | Geometry Dash"
Storyline / Narrative
This video doesn’t follow a story in Geometry Dash. Instead, it’s a creator-led comparison of two mod menus: Mega Hack V8 and Eclipse.
Gameplay / Use-Case Highlights (what the mods help you do)
The creator demonstrates how each menu can be used for:
- Enabling cheats/hacks quickly (via keybinds)
- Showing hitboxes to troubleshoot timing/consistency
- Botting/replaying levels (record a run and play it back automatically)
- Custom HUD labels (e.g., FPS/CPS/attempt info)
- UI customization (themes, fonts, layout)
- Language/translation support (localization for menu/hack text)
- Profile management (saving and switching setups)
Key Comparison Points & Tips
1) Availability / Platforms
- Mega Hack V8: available only for PC (Windows 10 specifically mentioned)
- Eclipse: available for PC and mobile
2) Number of hacks
- Mega Hack V8: 97 hacks (alpha/continues updating)
- Eclipse: 113 hacks (continues updating)
3) Interface & UI customization
Mega Hack V8 (limited UI customization)
Customization is mostly limited to:
- Animation/tab open-close delay
- Menu color theme
- Mentions a default style like “Octavus”
- Options include styles reminiscent of older versions (e.g., V6/V7/V8 naming)
Eclipse (much more UI customization)
More extensive customization, including:
- More theme options (examples: Groove Box, Mega Hack, Mega Overlay, Open Hack, etc.)
- Font selection
- Layout choice (tabbed/panel/sidebar styles mentioned)
- Color changes and additional styling
- Limitation noted: some tab placement/layout is locked (not freely movable)
4) Profiles (saved setups)
- Mega Hack V8:
- Supports creating/deleting profiles
- Lets you switch hack selections per profile
- Example workflow: create profile → choose hacks → delete profile if needed
- Eclipse:
- Profiles aren’t supported in the same way
- Only workaround described: reset Eclipse settings (returns theme/colors to original)
5) Key binding (quality-of-life for repeated testing)
Mega Hack V8
- Assign a keybind directly for a chosen hack
- Example: H enables/disables hitboxes
Eclipse
- Right-click a specific hack → Add keybind → assign the key
- Example: J for hitboxes
6) Botting / Recording & Playback of levels
Mega Hack V8
- Use the Replay/Botting section
- Choose a level (example: “Dial Wave”)
- Press record, play, then it autosaves
- Press playback/play to replay automatically
Eclipse
- Use the Botting/recording section
- Create a new file first and name it
- Press record, play the level, then press save manually (no autosave mentioned)
- Press playback to run it again
7) Results / Performance noted in demonstrations
Both are claimed to achieve:
- 100% noclip accuracy
- Zero deaths
Additional notes:
- Eclipse: smooth playback without gameplay/audio delay
- Mega Hack V8: an audio delay was observed; the creator speculates it may be due to a GPU issue, suggesting high-end GPUs might avoid it
8) Labels & HUD customization
Mega Hack V8
- Supports displaying stats like FPS, CPS, noclip accuracy, deaths, etc.
- Customization is more limited (e.g., toggles like showing units/max CPS)
- Can also change fonts for these labels
Eclipse
- Much deeper label system
- Each label can be configured with:
- Custom text (example: “subscribe” message added)
- Font
- Scale/size
- Color and opacity
- Position/alignment (top-left, top-right, absolute positioning mentioned)
The creator states this section is why Eclipse earns the point.
9) Translation / Language support
- Mega Hack V8: only English is mentioned (creator references a language contribution announcement but no actual languages are confirmed)
- Eclipse: includes many languages; the creator demonstrates French working
- Incorrect/bugged languages may show question marks (e.g., Greek mentioned)
Overall Preference (creator’s conclusion)
- Choose Eclipse if you want the best value/features (emphasized as free and feature-rich).
- Choose Mega Hack V8 if you want a “flex” and don’t mind waiting for updates/future versions.
