Baron von Lector Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 First off, is there any interest in the sequel to Ken Griffey Presents Major League Baseball? This weekend, I tore open the ROM and started fishing around for hex locations and I'm making incredible progress. So far, I've found where all the names are for batters and pitchers. For pitchers, I've found where you edit the right/left-handedness (batting and pitching), wins, losses, saves, innings pitched, hits, earned runs, walks, strikeouts, ratings (velocity, control, stamina, fielding, throwing), skin color, special pitch, ERA, base-runners per game, and strikeouts per game. As a test baby, I'm going to port my original Ken Griffey Presents Major League Baseball: Legends Edition to this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron von Lector Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just noticed this game has sortable stats as I just finished inputting the Yankees. New York is a beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Lector Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Even updating the Team Summary screen for each team. I updated the World Series, League Titles, and Division Titles. Also changed the manager and team description to read as something historic instead of the original "The Yankees are okay, but they lost to Ken Griffey and the Mariners in the playoffs last year."

The individual data implementation was taking too long (each batter has 21 pieces of data), so I put the project on 24 hour hold and am working on a calculator that will do the ticky-tack conversion work for me. It's ugly right now; I'm working on the functionality of it, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Lector Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Here's the 99% complete version. All that's left is for me to add some help-text within the fields for guidance in rating players (Hitting, Power, Speed, etc), based on stats. palmcd and DFM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron von Lector Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I completed my calculator, and now it's back to work on the ROM. I used it to calculate and rate the Colorado Rockies. One thing that's great about Ken Griffey's WInning Run is the ability to trade players. The game determined the players' trade values, based on their stats and ratings. Seems legit, as it values Larry Walker as a beast! DFM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Lector Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) The Dodgers are the second team completed using my calculator. As you can see, Sandy Koufax usurped the throne from Larry Walker of the Rockies as the player with the highest value in the game. Each team that I complete, I'll post an image. I'm surprised that Jackie Robinson was valued as low as he was. At least he's not Pee Wee Reese (another surprise) or Mike Scioscia.

Baron von Lector Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Now I'm curious as to how the game determines player trade values, because it looks like Tony Gwynn can be acquired at a bargain price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I noticed that Luis Tiant's missing his Stamina-bar. Just a heads up. Baron von Lector 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I scrapped the ratings that I had done (goodbye Yankees, Red Sox) and started from scratch using my calculator. Not sure what I did wrong last week, but I inadvertently changed a value that makes it so that instead of throwing pitches, a flood of baseballs fly at the batter in the home-batting half of the inning. This wouldn't be bad (sounds fun, actually) but the batter can't swing at any of 'em. Right now, I've got 3 teams re-rated (Padres, Dodgers, Rockies) and am halfway done with the Giants. Periodically, I'll post updates (with downloads) so that folks can tinker around with it and possibly point out glitches or errors that I may have overlooked.

Baron von Lector Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Barry Bonds was the Trade Value beast for all of 20 minutes until Christy Mathewson and Tim Keefe swept in and took the title. I'm starting to think that the values have a lot to do with the season statistics I input for each player. I used each player's best season for their stats. Looking at Tim Keefe's stats in 1888, I think this justifies the theory. TheFes75 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will lead up to a working editor for Winning Run Until I figure out how to incorporate ROMs into Visual Basic, this is a long ways away. However, with my calculator, the process is just as quick. I can do a single team in about 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperFan Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I tried my hand at tinkering with it but couldn't figure stuff out. Looking forward to checking your rom out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Lector Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Once I release the ROM (the teams are about 1/3 done). Afterwards, gonna re-do the All-Star teams and replace the Nintendo Team with maybe a Negro League All-Star team. Then gonna overhaul the team summary screens. Once I'm done, I'm gonna submit to this page a "how-to" for hacking this game. I've located all the data locations within the ROM. At this point, it's incredibly easy and it would be great to have the community tear at it. There's even an unlockable Tampa and Arizona team, so it's feasible to have annual submissions of the ROM, too. I was excited once I figured it all out.

Baron von Lector Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Here's another teaser download. At the moment, there are eleven teams done. They are: Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Dodgers San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Cincinnati Reds Chicago Cubs Houston Astros Pittsburgh Pirates St. Louis Cardinals Atlanta Braves Florida Marlins As before, if there are any glaring mistakes, let me know. Ken Griffey Jr.'s Hall of Fame.sfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Lector Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Just because he's a legend in his own way, I've decided to include the Mets' Anthony Young to the game based on his 1993 season and record of 20+ consecutive losses.
