Knobbe Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 As you know from 1995-1998 the NFL had 30 teams and from 1999-2001 had 31 teams. At this point, I don't think anyone has attempted to take the 32 team rom and retroactively take out 2 teams. I'm looking to get this accomplished. Would love some help else this is where I will be talking into the void Planning to base the mod off this rom unless someone has a better suggestion ShowMeYourTDs, fgqb#19nyj and tiredtonsofclay 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I didn't think there was enough interest in this and so I gave up on it. Glad to see someone is up to the task again. Well, here are the last files I've worked on. There was a ton done to get it to where I would like it, but unless the playoff structure and the NFC West division can be fixed it's pretty much useless. I did edit the standings so that the NFC West has two division pointers, so make that what you will. And for some reason, re-aligning the divisions on the menus screw up the colors in some of the team texts - mainly the two central divisions. It might be an easy fix. Let me know if anyone can help with that as well. *edit...thanks to Knobbe, this problem is now fixed. I just had to edit one more hex to fix the gray colored star on the team control and preseason screens. Update: 6/2...Look down below for new uploads.

Knobbe Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 The background palette was an issue when the rom was expanded from 28 to 32 teams so cxrom added in a custom routine. Not sure this is documented anywhere. The routine starts at x4210 but the relevant code to change is Palettes for Team Data Screen - x423B - x4279 Palettes for Pre-season team select screen - x427A - x42BA Attached is the updated rom Tecmo Super Bowl 1995 Season (2).nes fgqb#19nyj and mbogolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Awesome, man! I knew about this attribute table thing, but I wasn't sure where to edit these particular settings. I have a problem with the 1966 to 1969 roms, which do that, too. I had to shift all teams to the left. Is there a way to fix that on the 28 team rom, or is this something that had to be changed in the 32 team rom and it's only possible because of this change that was made?

My first instinct is to think that he had to redraw because of the expanded number of teams but it's not like that screen got bigger. I'd be curious if one of those Jstout or other type roms have a same sort of bypass this rom has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Here's the 1968 rom's menu screen I've edited. It's not great looking, but it looks good enough I guess. As you can see, the one on the bottom has the correctly located helmets, but with distortions. This happens on the preseason and team control menus as well. Does anyone know how to fix that?

kefkaroth Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) hopefully when this rom gets worked on more to make it more playable that we can get the 96 season rom also with the ravens.

bruddog Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 This is the concept I came up with a while back to deal with variable number of teams. Easier to modify to have any number of teams. fgqb#19nyj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgqb#19nyj Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 here are two rom hacks that are closer than I myself can ever finish. The rosters are accurate, but the attributes and player faces themselves need to be re-edited.

If I'm seeing this correctly the big thing to fix is playoff logic on both roms. The standings need to be addressed but displaying duplicates is a good idea. fgqb#19nyj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgqb#19nyj Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Thanks. Yeah, I only changed the wording on the playoff screen in both roms. The playoffs themselves are still based on the 32 team rom. The standings and team rankings is something that may or may not be fixable. I see that CXRom was able to have the game ignore the pro bowl teams in rankings. And so it might be feasible to have this done in standings, too? How he was able to do this I could only guess. The six team division setup I have in the game is also a problem, as you pointed out it duplicates teams in the playoffs, and so I tried to minimize the teams in both screens. I wonder if it's possible to make 3 to 5 teams in each division instead of the two choice method, which are 3 to 4 team or 4 to 5 team sizes. At least that way there won't be any duplicate winners in the playoffs. I tried to chop off the first two teams in the 32 team rom to address the rankings screen, but ran into a problem with the individual leaders stat screens. It would display distorted stats and names and so I had to abandon that idea. If anyone knows where the hex location of the cut off point of where it would split the AFC and NFC teams concerning stats it could address this issue with team rankings, too. I think it has something to do with playoff sorting, but I'm not sure. Edited June 28 by fgqb#19nyj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
