Recommended Posts

the game has 2 different ways of issuing events. an event can be a cutscene, a dropdown menu, ...whatever.

now the arguments are in the A and X registers. X is the group number, and A is the event number. then you have a:

JSR $C390

or

JSR $C3A2 (this will JSR to $C390)

or

JSR $C3AF

which is this code:


$C390:85 C2 STA $00C2 = #$53 ; <-ENTER HERE
$C392:86 C3 STX $00C3 = #$BB
$C394:A9 17 LDA #$17
$C396:85 10 STA $0010 = #$0F
$C398:A0 02 LDY #$02
$C39A:A9 80 LDA #$80
$C39C:A2 0C LDX #$0C
$C39E:20 45 CC JSR $CC45
$C3A1:60 RTS


$C3A2:20 90 C3 JSR $C390 ; <-ENTER HERE
$C3A5:A9 01 LDA #$01
$C3A7:20 9A CC JSR $CC9A
$C3AA:A5 0C LDA $000C = #$00
$C3AC:D0 F7 BNE $C3A5
$C3AE:60 RTS


$C3AF:85 C2 STA $00C2 = #$53 ; <-ENTER HERE
$C3B1:86 C3 STX $00C3 = #$BB ;
$C3B3:A5 2E LDA $002E = #$10 ;
$C3B5:48 PHA ;
$C3B6:A2 17 LDX #$17 ;
$C3B8:20 DD D8 JSR $D8DD ; bank swap?
$C3BB:A5 C2 LDA $00C2 = #$53 ;
$C3BD:A6 C3 LDX $00C3 = #$BB ;
$C3BF:20 00 80 JSR $8000 ;
$C3C2:68 PLA ;
$C3C3:AA TAX ;
$C3C4:4C DD D8 JMP $D8DD ;

these are the event codes:

*** = use $C3AF, the rest use $C390/$C3A2

some of these events can be triggered by both functions. the ones listed as unused don't crash the game like i thought they would, makes me wonder how complete they are.

I'm interested by this. Something I've been thinking about is attempting to change certain cut scenes to provide a little more praise for the coach, and less for the individual players, considering that my ROM is a coaching-based game. I haven't thought about what cut screens I could change, how I might go about starting to learn how to trade out cut scenes for others, and at what time these changes would take place in the game, but I'm definitely interested to learn more about it. Might be a fun aesthetic change for the future of Tecmo Super Coach.

I've poked around with Ninja Gaiden's cut-scene engine a bit, and I would think that the one used in TSB is a variation of it (or even the same?). As for TSB, the only modifications I've done is swapped one scene for another, have scenes skip under certain circumstances, or trigger them at times not normally triggered.

I could take a stab at the data format in TSB to see how easy it'd be to modify or create new scenes. I haven't done much in the way of Tecmo lately other then playing, but summer is around the corner and it's time to get back on the wagon. :lol:the 2pt conversion hack has been sitting on my hd for too long.

Nice, nice. Even swapping out the cut scenes might be effective for what I'm looking to accomplish. I look forward to any future potential research you throw towards this concept, for sure, homeboy.

In my alternate uniform IPS patches, the cut-scenes don't match up with the on-field uniform changes. I have not been able to figure out a solution to this problem, which I discuss here, starting at post #6.

I would rather update the cut-scenes, but if I can't find a solution, is it possible to bypass all screens that show a player, in addition to any other screens that follow in sequence (i.e., a screen showing a diving player followed by a screen showing the ball bouncing on the ground)? Is it possible to bypass screens showing kickoffs and field goals (at least, the screen showing the kicker), and touchdown celebrations? I don't like eliminating these things from the game, but the inconsistency of the uniform color combinations is distracting.

Also, can these changes be made in hex or is assembly required? I wish I understood your post at the beginning of this thread, as I would rather be taught how to fish rather than be given a fish!

For any other ROM, I think it would be cool if the halftime show could be played between quarters, with random or fixed action cut-scenes sprinkled in, sort of like highlights. If this is possible, would the cut-scenes need to comply with a time limit, in accordance with the music being played? Could you have different music?

It be assembly hacking, but with a hex editor. :lol: You'd be removing the function calls. This is done by overwriting the code with NOP (No OPeration) insturctions, but can be done with a hex editor and replacing them with the hex value of NOP ($EA).

Playing halftime shows between all quarters is definately doable. The rest I'm not too sure, I'll get back to you when I learn more about the cut-scene format.

Does this mean that there's completed code in the game to say how long a play was and how many yards / ints / sacks a player has at X point in the game, etc.?

If so, how would you implement this?

No, it's incomplete. The unused events were not implemented because they are not finished.
