Hey all. Im working on my yearly TFO Rom and last season I started to give away the prize of placing text on the Tecmo Blimp that appears at halftime. So since I have my notes and couldn't find this on the boards I wanted to post it for others... and so I won't lose it next season when I do this all again :)

 

So I like to think of the Tecmo Blimp as having 2 Lines of 10 "Spots". These spots are filled in with 8x8 pixel images. There are 16 available characters to use in these spots (not counting spaces). You would need to go in and EDIT these with your own images/letters/characters to appear on the blimp and one could have MORE spots by doing some edits on their own but I stick with the 16 as I haven't had an issue with it.

 

I know there is more "real estate" on the blimp that could be used but since it shares a pallet with the background clouds I just stick with the two 10 character lines.

 

CHARACTER GRAPHIC SPOTS (17 total counting Space/Blank)

03 = Space/Blank (DO NOT OVERWRITE)

0B = Left Part of Helmet Icon

0F = Right Part of Helmet Icon

1D = E (blue)

37 = C (blue)

39 = T (blue)

3D = M (blue)

3E = O (blue)

3F = S (pink)

41 = U (pink)

42 = P (pink)

43 = E (pink)

44 = R (pink)

45 = B (pink)

46 = O (pink)

47 = W (pink)

48 = L (pink)

 

SPOTS AVAILABLE ON THE BLIMP (2 Lines of 10)

1ST: LINE: 0x1446c   0x1446d   0x1447b   0x1447c   0x1447d   0x1447e   0x1448c   0x1448d   0x1448e   0x1448f

2ND LINE: 0x14470   0x14471   0x1447f   0x14480   0x14481   0x14482   0x14490   0x14491   0x14492   0x14493

 

PALLET LOCATION (3 colors)

BLUE: 0x1a02d

PINK:  0x1a02e

WHITE:  0x1a02f (DO NOT CHANGE)

[Recommended not to mess with the white as the rest of the blimp's white spots share the same pallet as the clouds in the background]

 

 

Attached is TFO 2016's Blimp :) Have fun!!!!

You can see where it maps to the tiles starting at 5A800 on the OG Rom. 

It's pretty easy to scroll in a tile editor and find.

Oh I noticed I didnt post the Blimp for TFO 2021. Here it is in all its glory!
Josh Porter is from The Office. I was asked if I could put his face on the blimp so I changed the pallet to have black and light flesh colors and used 4 of the character spaces to make the face using MSPaint and TileLayer Pro. It used all 14 available spaces when completed :)
