  1. Today
  2. Sorry I’m not sure what you mean as far as “trickery” involved. A lot of it was trial and error. I found that many of the logos had tiles that repeated in the same logo and other logos so I had to find ways to work around this. Some of them were mirrored or rotated. It was a lot of painstaking work to come up with the final logos for all the teams. I’m hoping to learn how to do some more advanced hacking like de bugging and such to try and swap tiles which will help me to improve them greatly. I have not worked on any other SNES ROMs but I assume the same thing happens with other games. I would love any tips or help!
  3. Yesterday
  4. Here are some more set commands shared by @War6: #Late Season Com Coverage SET (0x19519, 0xEAEA) #Stats Screens between quarters SET (0x24194, 0x20C3CA2074CC2090F02061C6) SET (0x241E1, 0x20C3CA2074CC2090F02061C6) SET (0x27090, 0xE2209CAE062014C9E23060) #Franchise QB Hack SET (0x19C41, 0xA9F1BF) SET (0x19C4F, 0x4CC99B) #Disable menu drum loop music SET (0x8062, 0x00) SET (0xBF1B, 0x00) #4th Quarter COM Punt Logic (Punt +9 until the 2 minute warning XPLOZV): SET (0x262C7, 0xC90900B003) SET (0x263B9, 0xEAEA) SET (0x26402, 0xEAEA) SET (0x26293, 0xF03A)
  5. I also had this one in a chat thread on another site (hat tip to @War6 over on X for the help on this one!): #NES-Style field graphics SET(0x159B94, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159B9A, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159BB4, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159BBA, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159F14, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F1A, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F34, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F3A, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F74, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F7A, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F94, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F9A, 0x365B365B)
  6. I figured I'd see if we could get a list together of set commands for the SNES TSB 1 that work. I scoured the site some and found these so far: #Timing of Snap Exchange b/n C & QB SET(0x196A0,0x01) #Better Tackling Without COM Diving SET(0x197F4,0xA230EAEAEA90DBE220A90120DE804CD697E220A90120DE80) SET(0x198D2,0xA230EAEAEA90A7E220A90120DE804C8098E220A90120DE80) #Faster Handoffs, Pitches, Snaps & Player Control SET(0x1B989,0x01) SET(0x1B9B8,0x01) SET(0x1B9C6,0x01) SET(0x1BA1D,0x01) #Shorter Punts & Arc of Punts SET(0x19F50,0x33) SET(0x19F3B,0x60) #Increased Kickoff Length (16yd to back of endzone) SET( 0x1B3D6, 0x4CE6CF ) SET( 0x1CFE6, 0xA50D4AA50C6A1869BAA8A9016900AA4CE1B3 ) #Kickoff Positions & Arc of Kickoff SET(0x1B3E6,0x3C) SET(0x10C6C,0xA060A207) SET(0x1005B,0xA0A0A208) #Changing the differential for popcorning/ dl busting through SET(0x18BB8,0xB16338F1039163AD0002293F187163300BC90E9007C93490064C8E8C4C158D20B0C3EAEAEAEAEA) Headed rom SET(0x18BB8,0xB1639163AD0002291F187163F1039008C91DB007C904B0064C158D4C8E8C20B0C3EAEAEAEAEA) Headerless rom #COM defensive coverage late in season SET(0x19519,0x5cada680ea) SET(0x26AD,0xad0202c98090045c06a5835c428883) #SNES TSB I CPU Find Open Receiver (no header) SET(0x191c7,0xe2202060d0c035d005a9034ce8914ce491eaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaea) SET(0x1d060,0xe230a000984868a8c4919005f003a08060c8b70329f04a8592d0034c38d1b70329f04a4a4a) SET(0x1d085,0x4a85930a0a1865938593b703290f0aaa9848a008b163300dbd00f38506bd01f385074cb4d0) SET(0x1d0aa,0xbd16f38506bd17f38507a214a008b163300dbd16f38509bd17f3850a4cd3d0bd00f38509bd) SET(0x1d0cf,0x01f3850aa015b106d109901cd00788b106d1099013a014b10638f109850cc8b106f109850d) SET(0x1d0f4,0x4c07d1a014b10938f106850cc8b109f106850da50dd021a50cc592b01ba017b106d109900a) SET(0x1d119,0xb10638f109c5934c2ad1b10938f106c5939007caca30064cb6d04c66d068a860) #set targets for passing plays SET(0x162d9f,0x9384) SET(0x1631f3,0x9451) SET(0x162cb7,0x935422) SET(0x163570,0x635421) SET(0x16388b,0x935442) SET(0x163bf9,0x945342) SET(0x163c38,0x935422) SET(0x163d0e,0x945332) SET(0x163fc6,0x945331) SET(0x162e56,0x93945531) SET(0x162fd5,0x94634531) SET(0x16333e,0x93744522) SET(0x1637a7,0x93515442) SET(0x163a8e,0x94734221) SET(0x163ab2,0x93544521) SET(0x163b26,0x94925355) SET(0x163b84,0x94634132) SET(0x163bb8,0x93924431) SET(0x163cb8,0x93947255) SET(0x163d4c,0x93756442) SET(0x163ea2,0x94725321) SET(0x163a4a,0x9483755221) SET(0x163aef,0x6364454221) SET(0x163b5f,0x9473452221) SET(0x163c7b,0x9395546122) SET(0x163d7d,0x9374524531) SET(0x163daf,0x9394817562) SET(0x163dec,0x9395844221) SET(0x163e29,0x9483553231) SET(0x163e6d,0x8371544522) SET(0x163ee1,0x9573624421) SET(0x163f03,0x9495524331) #NES-Style field graphics SET(0x159B94, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159B9A, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159BB4, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159BBA, 0x630E630E) SET(0x159F14, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F1A, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F34, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F3A, 0x80018001) SET(0x159F74, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F7A, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F94, 0x365B365B) SET(0x159F9A, 0x365B365B) #Late Season Com Coverage SET (0x19519, 0xEAEA) #Stats Screens between quarters SET (0x24194, 0x20C3CA2074CC2090F02061C6) SET (0x241E1, 0x20C3CA2074CC2090F02061C6) SET (0x27090, 0xE2209CAE062014C9E23060) #Franchise QB Hack SET (0x19C41, 0xA9F1BF) SET (0x19C4F, 0x4CC99B) #Disable menu drum loop music SET (0x8062, 0x00) SET (0xBF1B, 0x00) #4th Quarter COM Punt Logic (Punt +9 until the 2 minute warning XPLOZV): SET (0x262C7, 0xC90900B003) SET (0x263B9, 0xEAEA) SET (0x26402, 0xEAEA) SET (0x26293, 0xF03A) Are these correct? If not, are there updated versions? And does anyone else have any set commands they want to share and add to the list? As the list grows I'll update this first post to catalog the codes like in the NES version's thread.
  7. I got an idea I mentioned in another thread for incorporating the rouge into Tecmo Grey Cup, but I am unsure of where to find the hex locations of point values for touchdown, field goal, extra point, and safety. I found a very old thread that posted game genie codes to do this but doesn't mention hex locations. Appreciate any help.
  8. Last week
  9. So if you use the start at 30 or 40 and keep the 16-yard line range and change the safety pt value to 1, could you simulate rouges in the CFL hack?
  10. I was just wondering if there was a set command for changing the color to the 35-yard line logo. I played with this a few years ago but I have forgotten and wasn't sure where to find it.
  11. I have always wondered if it was a model, a player or a member of the Tecmo staff that created it. I bet someone on here knows.
  12. After viewing the 32 large helmets, I decided to refresh my catalogue of ROMs. I removed unnecessary shading, sun spots, & other reflective elements while updating a few logos/colors. This was my first attempt at NES large helmets. I normally edit SNES TSB assets & I've done something similar with the NES large helmets for standardization purposes...clean & crisp overall!
  13. Set all bytes to 00 in the following locations. 0x5C180 thru 0x5C18F 0x5C1E0 thru 0x5C1EF These are sprites and not background objects like the remainder of the helmet BEFORE FIX AFTER FIX
  14. Anyone have any idea how to remove the white sunspots (upper right quadrant) on the Bengals Large Helmet. If you change 30 in hex at the Bengals LH address then it looks off/disjointed. I’ve searched through my tile editor for the two tiles; however, I was unable to locate them. Any idea where the 2 tiles are located in the tile editor?
  15. View File USFL '89-'94 These are part of my series of hypothetical hacks; as I worked through them and made narrative notes, I struggled with organization. Where I am ascinated by the turbulent '80s, my memories of the NFL into the mid-'90s was a major blind spot. I lost interest in the league through my teenage years partly because of Cleveland's move to Baltimore. That aside, I got a little too deep and scattershot in the narrative aspect of this project--most of my ideas for 89-'94 are interesting to me but just scraps. I hope to organize twitter notes and place them here in a bit for the sake of posterity. I have started a sort of "reset" of the project. I apologize for the barrage of polls on my Twitter. I do want to list a few things here for clarity of the rosters: -Joe Robbie's death and Don Shula's impatience leads Pittsburgh Maulers owner Ed DeBartolo Sr. to swoop in and sign Dan Marino to a 7-year, $35 million contract; a Robbie's family heir--a third cousin way deep in the tree--agrees to release the QB to spring for $15 million. It is a whirlwind off-season for the near-miss Maulers, who also sign Major Harris, top WR prospect Reggie Rembert, and old-hand Matt Millen. The '90 Maulers finished 12-5-1, taking the league title in a 31-28 shootout against Jim Kelly and the Houston Gamblers. A New Dawn has arrived. -After a string of bad seasons and weak ownership, both the New Orleans Breakers and the New England Patriots reach sort of twilights in Sin City and Puritanville. In a rare flex of state power, out-going Gov. Mike Dukakis seizes Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro and approaches the USFL about placing a team there. League Commissioner Grover Debs--never a fan of the original move from Boston in '83--arranges a purchase of the Breakers with a prominent New Hampshire family; the league eats some $22 million in debts. A Dresden-based architecture firm of the "Memphis" style--already working on the Memorial Stadium project in Baltimore and Canadian Tire Park in downtown Halifax--commits to providing a future redesign. The '91 USFL offseason contracts a fever pitch as the revived "Boston Breakers" sign Doug Flutie and a myriad of free agents; New Jersey inks jettisoned Jim Kelly, after George Bush Jr. and his Saudi and Yemeni backers gave Heisman winner Andre Ware a 5-year, $5.2 million deal back in '90. The New England Patriots would limp through '91 and '92 as a tenant before Paul Tagliabue gives in to the senior circuit's first franchise merger in over 40 years, the Pats will be picked over by the St. Louis Football Cardinals, themselves in a sort of limbo post-Bill Bidwell and mismanagement by a Busch scion. The NFL announces plans to sell the logo and franchise rights to former Pats minority owner Robert Kraft, who promises revenge. -Cuban-cultivated "biomechanic" techniques revive the careers of Neil Lomax (Denver) and Bert Jones (Stars). -In a messy '92, Merlin Olson wins a four-way race with George Bush, Jerry Brown, and Ross Perot on The Rainbow Bridge Party ticket a loose confederation of orthodox Marxists, dejected trade unionists, and small holders dependant on gutted midwest industrial economies (Olson swept the center of the country). Olson's running mate is long time progressive Paul Wellstone. Olson wins on vague promises to "renew the New Deal" and rapproachment with the Soviet Union, who exiled Gorbachev and are undergoing a process of "Reconstruction." Olson reportedly accepted the nomination after a nasty contract fight with NBC. Bush Sr. becomes an executive with the Houston Gamblers. Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams disappears, putting that franchise in crisis. -Tagliabue rushes to announce NFL expansion, the goal being 30 teams by the turn-of-the century. The announced clubs are the Carolina Panthers ('94), a revived Patriots franchise (TBD), and the Montreal Machine, who will join the league in '95 and play at Stade Olympique, itself undergoing renovations thanks to a Czechoslovakian-Libyan developed process based on Roman concrete processes. -ABC re-ups with the USFL for $600 million over three years. CBS bulks. -The '93 USFL Season sees Ted Marchibroda lead the 6-12 Baltimore Stars on a miracle run to the USFL title. The team is led by Tracy Ham, a training camp holdout in Jacksonville, acquired for a 6th round pick. -"Bad boy" Jeff George arrives in Chicago for the '94 season. Michigan Panther's franchise exec Anhel Cabrini signs Division I-AA standout Kurt Warner based on a series of "visions" of a "Giant Marksman with raven hair, flinging fire." The eccentric Cabrini--head of the Union who prevented the AMC-Chrysler merger--insisted Warner throw both footballs and Charmin rolls at his workout after hearing stories Kurt chucked them as a Hy-Vee stock boy. He receives a 10-year, $20 million deal, a move criticized by even Al Davis. These hacks contain all previous edits (7 minute quarters, juice meter, etc.). Thank you, as always, for your support.

  17. Earlier
  18. In your screenshots, I recognize a lot of the logo work... 🤔 Was it pretty straight-forward porting them over from my NES NBA release, or was there trickery involved? Up to this point, I've had zero luck doing sprite work on any of my SNES releases. I can create NES logos all day... SNES? It's a whole other monster for me. I've got a few SNES projects I've been holding off on because the existing sprites are not what I want.
  19. Yea, a little background, I own an IT company (20 years running), My brother and I have been Tecmo bowl fans since it came out. He is a diehard Ram fan, I am a Niner fan, so the Everett vs Montana rivalry on Techmo Bowl was out of control lol We are moving to design a website with full content management , that can automate league creation on the server side, and make things very user friendly. Once we have our "game plan" developed (over next month), I will run it by the forum for feedback. Our assembly language guys are excited to dig into this.
  20. The dynastyphile (tecmobowl.net) site isn’t being maintained anymore. The person who created doesn’t have the time anymore. And it does have a few bugs and issues from what I’ve heard. Its not heavily used but a few active leagues use it. Definitely doesn’t hurt to have another possible option if this is mostly a labour of love type of thing.
  21. Thank you Bruddog, will review this one for sure. btw - Niner Gold faithful here as well lol. I figure it will be free, with the request of donations to help/ support. I want to commend the creator of this league module, nicely done. I will give a good review, and return back with updates.
  22. Only you would know that, if you are the one coding the website. It’s quite obviously feasible. We already have websites for the biggest leagues. See examples: hstl.tecmobowl.org http://tecmobowl.net/main/default.php That’s the bar you have to clear. I assume your website would be free/nearly free to use. If not, I wouldn’t bother.
  23. Hello Tecmo Bowl brothers (and sisters) I have been considering building out a membership website that would allow one to establish a league online, it would maintain stats for all leagues (and member history), update player rosters, etc, etc. Given the current access to the ROMS, and tech behind the game, what do you guys think the feasibility would be for this kind of project?
  24. bruddog, I don't know how to do the coding you've done. This rom you've attached is the original game with just this code tweaked? At work with my Macbook so can't open or test it until I get home later today. If your script to be added to the hacks section that would be cool.
  25. I guess what I'm asking when simulating this through stats is: should I give a lower passer speed number and high pass control number (e.g. pass speed is 38 but pass control is 69)?
  26. I've been doing some (more) research into this & even though haven't solved my lifelong goal of "who is on the cover of TSB cart" - I did find a pretty cool story about how they got who is on the cover! So Tecmo wanted to use Marcus Allen on the cover (not Bo Jackson I'm guessing bc he was a mega star to the likes of MJ, Lebron, Derek Jeter, etc.. he wouldn't be worth even asking bc he would've been 10x anyone else at the time) - Allen was w/ the Raiders and they were a local team for Tecmo's HQ so it made sense (be like if today there was a video game company in San Francisco and they wanted ot put a player on the cover of their cartridge, Christian McCaf. would be the one for it) - so Marcus was approached about using a picture of him going over the goal line on the cover- Marcus Allen wanted $50k for this PLUS a certain % royatly on every cartridge sold. Tecmo told Marcus Allen's agent "where to stick their $50k offer" - Tecmo went looking for other current players but all of their agents wanted what was considered way too much so they hired a model for the day. Imagine if Tecmo actually gave a % cut of every cartridge sold to Marcus Allen or another player - over the years we are talking about WAY more than their late 80s / early 90s NFL contracts paid them! So I still am looking for my lifelong quest of the model used on the cartridge & plan on having him autograph a cart for me - but in the mean time the stories & info finding along the way is jsut as fascinating!
  27. I use passing yards as a barometer, because all QBs in the game can throw deep, anyway.
  28. Gentlemen, the custom order frame for my TB12 cartridge is complete, and it is pretty baller if I do say so myself. It’s the pièce de résistance of this TB12 Tecmo Super Bowl rom journey. Whenever I release the next rom update, my goal is to also release the spreadsheets that I used to build the rosters. Some folks might enjoy looking more closely at some of those details.
