  1. Tecmo NCAA Basketball '15 (NES)

    You know what to do (Download this!).
     
    I released this game back in 2015, however this time around, it is without the dreaded "12th man super-scorer" glitch. Nine years after its initial release, this has been fixed.
     
    As of today, this the first (and only) college basketball game on the NES (until I put out a follow-up in the next year or two).
     
    All the team logos, uniforms, and courts have been modified to reflect their college counterparts. SimData has been modified to reflect typical college basketball scores (Scores of 75-70 are the norm). There are 27 teams in this ROM. The team selection was partially based on what teams were hot in 2015, and historical significance (see attached screenshot). This provides for effortless future updates.  
    For the sake of realness, it is HIGHLY advised you play a season with a SHORT schedule (26 games). This closest reflects a regular season of college basketball.
     
    This ROM is the best of its kind. You would be a fool NOT to add it to your collection.
     
    This is one of MANY games that I have on my BaronGaming.weebly.com and Patreon.com/BaronGaming sites, most of which you won't find anywhere else. The site is currently being renovated, so please mind the mess.

  2. Tecmo NBA Basketball '23 (NES)

    Something cool happened this week!
     
    This is the ROM update I started at the end of last season that I just now finished. While the roster are a year old, this is still the (in my humble opinion) the best version of this game available. I've been busy saving the world with, you know, space lasers!
     
    I didn't update any of the logos (aside from the ones I did in the previous version). Maybe next season.
     
    I've seen a lot of versions of this game released over the last couple years and they all have the same issue: The scoring leaders are always the backup center, averaging 100+ points per game. This is not an issue in this ROM.
     
    Also, the season simdata has been updated for this season, so the level of success a team experienced during the 2022-23 season is reflected in this ROM. Now, this doesn't mean that a team won't over-play their simdata. It happens.
     
    The last season I updated this ROM was... four years ago in 2019?  So with that, see you after the 2027 season.

  3. Ken Griffey Jr. Presents: Major League Baseball - 30th Anniversary Edition (Original Game with REAL Players)

    Remember the original Ken Griffey Jr. baseball game?  Remember how annoying it was to play with real teams, but had players you've never heard of and you had to MANUALLY change each player, one letter at a time, using your baseball cards as reference?
    Here is that game but with MAJOR changes, and it only took THIRTY(ish) years! 

    1) All the players have been re-named to their real-life counterparts, this includes the regular rosters AND the All-Star rosters.

    2) The Homerun Derby has been overhauled with real MLB  players: Ken Griffey Jr. (the lone holdover from the original roster), Frank Thomas, Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds, Dave Justice and Tony Gwynn.

    3) Small details that the original creators overlooked, such as the RH/LH stances of about one-in-ten of the players has been corrected.  The appearances of some race-swapped players have been fixed.  Also, there are no longer any 5'9" "tall & lanky" players, just as there are no more 6'5" "short & rounds."
     
    4) Other small details, mostly concerning high ERAs and lowercase Cs.
     
    I didn't do too much to the player ratings, choosing to keep the original ratings the developers decided on. The biggest change was upping Deion Sanders SPD rating to 10. This is expected, being the fastest player (just ask him) in the league at the time.
     
    (I am aware the game came out in 1994 so this is technically not the 30th anniversary. The game is based on the 1993 season which happened 30 years ago.)

  4. Ken Griffey Jr. Presents: MLB '23

    The Holy Grail of annual baseball ROM updates (for this season) is here!
     
    All rosters are accurate as of the first month of the MLB season. Originally the rosters were based loosely on the Opening Day rosters, but a few notable moves were made and reflected in this ROM (Aaron Hicks to BAL, the emergence of Elly de la Cruz, etc.)
     
    The HR Derby, as it has been the last few seasons, had real MLB players and not the fictional jobbers of the original game.
     
    In keeping with 30 years of tradition, Tampa and Arizona get the middle finger and do not make appearances. (They do show up in my Griffey Winning Run ROM, fully unlocked, coming soon).
     
    I would say "If you notice any errors on my part, please let me know", but I won't. This game is absolute perfection!
     
    This game was released after the first month of the season to my Patreon subscribers. This week I am uploading it to my website, BaronGaming.weebly.com. You will be able to find this, and the rest of my collection.
     
    Enjoy!

  10. NBA Showdown 2018

    I released this ROM edit for the 25th anniversary of NBA Showdown back in May on my Patreon.com/BaronGaming page.  The rosters and player ratings are based on the end of the 2018 NBA season.
     
    Just like the original, there is player stat tracking, player trades (so you can send Lebron to the Lakers if you want to keep this updated), All Star teams, custom teams, and each team has at least one player with a "marquee" move.

  11. Ken Griffey Baseball 2018

    Keeping with tradition, here is this season's release of Ken Griffey Jr. Presents: Major League Baseball 2018.  Rosters were finalized prior to this season's trade deadline. 
     
    Mostly everything is the same from the previous season with a few exceptions:  I figured out how to modify the way pitchers appeared on the mound and changed the criteria for Home Run Derby selection.

  12. Bad News Baseball 2017

    By popular demand, I present Bad News Baseball 2017.
     
    All of the rosters, statistics, ratings, and one team's uniform colors have been updated from the original NES game. 
     
    The twelve teams included are: San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Toronto Blue Jays.  All of the teams from the original game carried over to this updated version, except for the New York Mets who were changed to the Yankees.
     
    The information found in a handful of forum threads made this update.  What wasn't available in the forums, through trial and error I stumbled through and figured out.
     
    When comparing this to the original version of Bad News Baseball, this game does seem to provide a lot of offense.  Keeping the opposing team in single digit runs is a great feat.  My explanation for this that Bad News Baseball is a game played on the field by children (likely Little Leaguers).  Bad News Baseball 2017 replaces those children with grown-up Major League men.  When you put adults on a Little League field, most certainly balls are going to fly out of the ballpark.

  13. Ken Griffey 2017

    Happy Friday!
     
    This is the 3rd seasonal release of Ken Griffey Presents: Major League Baseball 2017.  If you enjoyed 2015 and 2016, you'll love 2017!
     
    The game-play and everything else carries over from the previous versions.  There is one major difference from the previous versions: the Homerun Derby.  In 2015, the Derby retained the original participants (Nick Noheart, Can O'Corn, etc).  In 2016, these were replaced with baseball legends like Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.  In 2017, these have been replaced by the participants in last season's MLB Homerun Contest (Giancarlo Stanton, Adam Duvall, Corey Seager, Mark Trumbo, and Todd Frazier).
     
    Also, I did change up a few of my formulas to (hopefully) closer represent their respective players, namely pitcher speed and control.

  14. Ken Griffey's Winning Run 2016

    It's heeeere!
     
    This is the 2016 edition of the sequel to the SNES's Ken Griffey Presents: Major League Baseball.  The rosters are based on the ones that I used for last season's Ken Griffey Presents 2016, which are based on the opening-day rosters from the 2016 season.
     
    For those unfamiliar, Winning Run is a different ball-game from the original.  It's more simulation, less arcade.  In many areas, it improves on many facets that Presents accomplished.
     
    For starters, it expands on Presents' season stat tracking.  Now, not only is your team's stats tracked through the season, but the rest of the league, as well.  And to compliment this, there are sortable league leaders screens, as well.
     
    Also, something new to Winning Run is the ability to trade players.  So, while this is a 2016 game, you can trade players with other teams and keep your rosters updated for multiple season.  Please note, this doesn't rule out future 2017 or further releases.
     
    Oh, did I mention that all THIRTY MLB teams are here?  In order to unlock the two expansion Tampa and Arizona teams, you must complete a season (not sure if it HAS to be 162 games or not).
     
    I also updated the All-Star team (something not done in previous Griffey updates) and all eight Homerun Derby rosters (something not done until later releases).
     
    I updated as many fine details as I could get my hands on to make this look as "official release" as possible.  I was able to change Florida, California, and Montreal to Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington, respectively.  However, I was unable to change the logo of the Washington Nationals.  So, while the standings and team-select might read "Washington," there is still an Expos logo hanging around.  Nothing game-breaking.

  15. College Slam 2017

    This ROM is a 2017 update to the 1996 SNES release of College Slam, the NCAA version of NBA Jam.  In the original game, there were no players - just generic names like "PT GUARD," "CENTER," etc.  I have edited all the names to reflect the top five players from all 44 included teams.  I've updated the names, player ratings, appearances, and a couple of team names (FSU becomes Florida State, UNC becomes North Carolina).
     
    As an added bonus, when you press UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT on the title screen, you can unlock 9 extra teams.  I've edited these as well.  The unlockable teams are the 2010 thru 2016 All-American teams, BaronROMs University, and the East Side Crew (folks I grew up with who traveled between each other's houses, having SNES TSB and NBA Jam parties on the weekends).  Enjoy!

  16. FIFA World Cup 2014

    This isn't Tecmo, but it is Football.
     
    I've modified the Sega Genesis' FIFA International Soccer '93 to reflect the rosters of the 2014 FIFA World Cup that was won by Germany.  There are 48 teams total, plus an Adidas All-Star Team. 
     
    Although the teams are from three years ago, this will serve as a foundation for when I release a future ROM based on the 2018 World Cup.  If my memory serves correct, this is the 4th ROM released in a series of ROMs based on the 2014 World Cup, to include Nintendo World Cup (NES), International Superstar Soccer (SNES), and J.League Winning Goal (NES).
     
    Please note, I still consider this release to be a work in progress.  At the moment, I have been unable to locate the locations of the player ratings.  To off-set this, I've arranged the rosters so that 2014's players reflect the 1993 players in both position and skill level.  I figure while not necessary, I have until 2018 to figure this out.  I was able to adjust the overall team ratings, however.

  17. Super Mario 2016

    This is Super Mario Bros. 2016!
     
    In short, this is a graphically enhanced version of the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES.  Using Tile Layer Pro, I swapped out most of SMB's sprites with those found in Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3.  Those that I didn't swap, I modified to give them more of a SMB2/3 feel.
     
    No gameplay was modified, as this is strictly a cosmetic update.  In fact, the only time I used a hex editor was when I changed the date on the title screen from 1985 to 2016.  Nothing more.

  18. NCAA: TSB 2017

    After what seemed like endless delays, Tecmo Super Bowl: NCAA 2017 is finally here!
     
    As seen in the screen-shots, each team has its helmet included on their respective Team Data and Versus screens.
     
    If you recently downloaded my 2016 version of this ROM, you might find that this one is a little more finely tuned.  Ratings and simdata have been fine-tuned so that end-of season leaders are reflected accurately vis-a-vis their real-life counterparts.
     
    In keeping with accuracy, the schedule has been reduced to 12 games, with the final week before the playoffs being set as "Rivalry Week."
     
    The lineup of teams is 96.875% identical (to 2016), with the only difference being the inclusion of Houston, replacing Kansas State.
     
    There are 32-teams in this ROM.  The 32 teams are divided into the following eight conferences (Note: I took the liberty to "realign" some of the conferences):
     
    ACC
    Pittsburgh
    Clemson
    Florida State
    Miami
     
    SEC East
    Florida
    Missouri
    Georgia
    South Carolina
     
    SEC West
    Auburn
    Texas A&M
    Alabama
    Louisiana State
     
    All-American
    Louisville
    Virginia Tech
    Syracuse
    Notre Dame

  19. NCAA: TSB 2016

    I have been sitting on this ROM for almost a year before finally releasing it.
     
    This is a collaborative effort between myself and Dave Murray.  The ROM was originally finished at the end of the 2015-16 NCAA football season and is based on said season.  Unless I missed anything, all instances of "NFL" have been removed from the game and replaced with NCAA logos, so that the game will have an authentic college football feel.
     
    There are 32-teams on the ROM, with each team having their own helmet art included on their team data screens (helmet art courtesy of Dave Murray).  These lucky 32 teams are:
    Florida State Clemson Pittsburgh Miami Missouri Georgia South Carolina Florida Auburn Texas A&M Louisiana State Alabama Syracuse Louisville Virginia Tech Notre Dame Michigan Nebraska Ohio State Wisconsin Oklahoma Kansas State Baylor Oklahoma State Stanford South California UCLA Oregon Texas Iowa Michigan State Penn State  
    The rosters and ratings were set at the end of the season so they would reflect performances throughout the season.  Again, this ROM is a year old in terms of rosters.  However, perhaps this ROM can set the groundwork as a base-ROM for future releases.

  20. Tecmo Super Bowl: Gold

    This is Tecmo Super Bowl: Gold.
     
    I started working on this Legends-themed ROM back in March.  I delayed the release of this ROM for the simple fact that around the time of the originally planned debut, a glut of other "Legends" ROMs burst onto the scene as well.  So as not to (a) get lost in the shuffle or (b) take away from the spotlight of other modders, I pulled my work.
     
    This delay allowed me to fine-tune this ROM into what I would consider the "gold-standard" of Legends edits (hence, the "Gold" title) previously established by my past Convergence ROMs.
     
    Each team is comprised of the greatest players in franchise history, whether it's based on talent, records, or the impact they left on the team (Players like Tim Tebow and Kordell Stewart are included for the latter reasons).  In addition to the team rosters, the All-Pro rosters have been edited to contain the greatest players in the history of the National Football League.
     
    I've combed over this ROM obsessively.  If there are any errors, please let me know.

  21. Ken Griffey Baseball 2016

    It's finally here!  This ROM is based on the 2016 Major League Baseball season.
     
    The rosters are mostly based on the opening day rosters with a small sampling of "modder preferences" (i.e. Yu Darvish, Aroldis Chapman, etc).
     
    As a base-ROM, I used a slightly modified version of Ken Griffey Presents: Major League Baseball that has the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels in the place of the Montreal Expos and Anaheim Angels.  Also, while keeping the Florida Marlins logo, in the game I replaced "Florida" with "Miami."
     
    I used JG Games' editor to do most of the editing.  However, there were some categories that, for whatever reason, the editor was limited.  While the ratings vary from 1 thru 10, for batting power and fielding I was limited to 9.  So, I used HxD's hex-editor to give a handful of batters a 10 rating for power, and the last two seasons' Gold Glove award winners (and Aaron Hicks) a 10 for fielding.
     
    Also, I replaced the entire Home Run Derby roster (except for Ken Griffey, Jr.) with historic home-run heroes.  So, the likes of Nick Noheart, Sammy Scrap, Can O'Corn, and others have been replaced with Barry Bonds (single season and career HR champ), Hank Aaron (former career HR champ), Babe Ruth (former single season and career HR champ), Roger Maris (former single season HR champ), and Mike Schmidt.  Right now, for the sake of annual re-useability,
     
    On this note, I believe I've covered everything.  If I've overlooked anything or you notice anything glaringly incorrect, please let me know.  Enjoy!

  22. FIFA Brazil 2014

    This is my most ambitious edit project to date.  To give an idea of the original ROM based on a Japanese professional football league (J.League Winning Goal), check out the images below:
     
     
     
    One of the first things I did was to translate the ROM to English.  On ROMHacking.net, there was a patch provided that reduced my workload by about 50%.
     
    Next, I replaced all of the team flags with each country's national flags.  The countries in the game are:  United States, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Colombia, Belgium, France, England, Mexico, Germany, Italy, and Portugal.  After replacing the flags, I replaced the original team logos with the logo or crest for each country's football association.
     
    After changing the logos, I modified the rosters and ratings for each player to accurately reflect the 2014 World Cup.
     
    The kit colors came next.  I had to go with a team's 2nd or 3rd colors in order to make it as accurate as possible.
     
    Finally, to pander the the Tecmo crowd, I updated the appearance to have more of a Tecmo-feel to it.  The fonts were replaced with those from Tecmo Super Bowl, along with a few color schemes (white on black, white on blue).
     
    In regards to the game, there are two modes:  Exhibition (1 or 2 players) and League.  League emulates a larger-scale pool play in the sense that every team will play every other team once before a Champion is crowned.

  23. NHL Pro Sport Hockey 2016

    This was a collaborative effort between myself (hex editing), Bodom and stalltalk (ratings). There are 24 teams on the ROM. I kept most of the original teams, with a few exceptions (Hartford out/Anaheim in, San Jose out/Dallas in, New Jersey out/Nashville in, Quebec out/Colorado in).
     

    I based the rosters off of the depth charts on RotoWorld.com.
     

    Also, to give the game more of a Tecmo feel, I swapped out the main game font and replaced it with the font from Tecmo Super Bowl.

  24. TSB Convergence

    In the year 2070, the supreme emperor of the NFL Universe, Jerry Jones, traveled through time and space and started collecting football teams from various timelines and kept them stored safely inside of unbreakable snow globes. After his collection had grown to immense proportions, he released the teams onto a football field that was locked away in a completely different timeline to see what would happen. Emperor Jerry was embarking on his very own live-action game of Fantasy Football.
     
    Looking past the dramatic presentation, this is a ROM modification of Tecmo Super Bowl III for the SNES featuring the rosters of the greatest teams of each team's history. This isn't an All-Star game where Terry Bradshaw will throw touchdown passes to Hines Ward, but it is a hypothetical "what if" game where you can see who would win if the 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers were to ever take the field against the 1989 San Francisco 49ers or the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins against the undefeated 2007 New England Patriots.
     
    According to some random guy on Twitter, this is the most important modification in the history of Tecmo Bowl!

  25. Tecmo Super Bowl 1977

    I take back what I posted a few weeks ago. THIS is my most ambitious project to date. I took the flaming pile of digital garbage that I put out back in February (Tecmo Super Bowl 1977 – NES) and updated it with 16-bit graphics.
     

    To go along with the visual upgrade, I went through it player-by-player and updated all of the ratings, jersey numbers, skin color, and simdata. I also updated all of the team simdata so that the SKP teams during the regular season play similar to their real-life 1977 counterparts. When simulating a test season, the game correctly simulated four of the six division winners. Only the AFC East and West were incorrect, and with those, the teams in 1st and 2nd flip-flopped.
     

    I updated the schedule in the game so that it accurately reflects the 1977 season.
     

    During the player rating editing process, I found the AV scores (approximate value) on pro-football-reference.com for each of the players to be a HUGE god-send.
