  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. Confirmed in the code agility value is definitely used when changing directions for a man controlled player, however it doesn't effect the qb for some reason. Or at least the QB doesn't use this code both behind the LOS and past the LOS. The table for offensive players is at 0x1d4FF in the rom 06 06 05 05 04 04 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 01 01 01 The table for offensive players is at 0x1d50F in the rom 07 07 07 06 06 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 01 01 01 01 These numbers represent how many frames it takes until it responds to you changing direction. I made the values 20 = 32 frames = ~ 0.5 sec and it was EXTREMELY noticeable. Its like trying to change directions in mud.

    You know what to do (Download this!). I released this game back in 2015, however this time around, it is without the dreaded "12th man super-scorer" glitch. Nine years after its initial release, this has been fixed. As of today, this the first (and only) college basketball game on the NES (until I put out a follow-up in the next year or two). All the team logos, uniforms, and courts have been modified to reflect their college counterparts. SimData has been modified to reflect typical college basketball scores (Scores of 75-70 are the norm). There are 27 teams in this ROM. The team selection was partially based on what teams were hot in 2015, and historical significance (see attached screenshot). This provides for effortless future updates. For the sake of realness, it is HIGHLY advised you play a season with a SHORT schedule (26 games). This closest reflects a regular season of college basketball. This ROM is the best of its kind. You would be a fool NOT to add it to your collection. This is one of MANY games that I have on my BaronGaming.weebly.com and Patreon.com/BaronGaming sites, most of which you won't find anywhere else. The site is currently being renovated, so please mind the mess.

    USFL '89-'94

    Version 1.0.0

    106 downloads

    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 fascinated by the turbulent '80s, I don't have much interest in league of 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. It's helped me in rethinking and working on a new project. 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.

    Editing Large Helmets

    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!

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. So of the two players who are currently in the WR1 and WR 2 spot on the field, one of them will have a chance to pause their route. I guess its supposed to be a hot route of sorts where you can make a quick throw to the WR. But this seems kind of annoying if you need them to them run a bomb I haven't calculated the chance yet but the greater the reception skill the greater the chance the WR will stop. The table is at 0x18B37 18 = 06 rec skill value = 9.7% chance of stopping route 20 = 13 rec skill value = 12.8% chance of stopping route ... 90 = 100 rec skill value = 56% chance of stopping route if selected Every skill increase = 3.1% additional chance of stopping route So really the chance for the WR1 or Wr2 to stop a route on any play is half that chance since only one of them can get selected per play. I'm pretty sure these percentages are correct.

  12. Hello all, Over a period of years I managed to reverse engineer the entire Tecmo Super Bowl game into 6502 assembly source code with every piece of code documented and every variable labeled. There was a potential project in the works with said code but that project looks all but dead now. Because of that I am targeting the 30 year anniversary of TSB as the date I will publicly post all of the reverse engineered source code. -Bruddog

  15. I have two options as far as how names will be displayed in a... project. We have traditional Griffey-sytle with First initial-Last name, or mixed style of Full Names and First initial-Last name. Which looks better? Completeness, or consistency?

  20. Piggybacking off of this, an update of a nine-year old project is dropping tomorrow. Clue: It's a fix of an error that's been haunting Tecmo NBA games for the last nine years, and is considered to be the greatest update of Tecmo NBA of all time!

    Something cool happened this week! This is the ROM update I started at the end of last season that I just now finished. While the roster are a year old, this is still the (in my humble opinion) the best version of this game available. I've been busy saving the world with, you know, space lasers! I didn't update any of the logos (aside from the ones I did in the previous version). Maybe next season. I've seen a lot of versions of this game released over the last couple years and they all have the same issue: The scoring leaders are always the backup center, averaging 100+ points per game. This is not an issue in this ROM. Also, the season simdata has been updated for this season, so the level of success a team experienced during the 2022-23 season is reflected in this ROM. Now, this doesn't mean that a team won't over-play their simdata. It happens. The last season I updated this ROM was... four years ago in 2019? So with that, see you after the 2027 season. For more the most recent ROM updates and all upcoming projects, check out my online home at Patreon.com/BaronGaming and BaronGaming.weebly.com.

    TSB3 weather impact

    Weather has the same impact on player attributes as TSB 1. The table starts at 0x18bb7 in the rom. 0 = no change FF = -1 to all all attributes but ms/ps FE = -2 to all all attributes but ms/ps S= snow, R= rain TSB 3 S R 00 FE ; BUF FE FE FE FF FF FE FF FF FF FF FF FE FE FE FF FF FF FF FF FE FE FF FE FF FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FF FE FF FE FE FE FF 00 FF FE FE 00 FE FE FE FE 00 FE FE FE FF FE FF FE FF FE FF In SNOW buffalo gets no penalties. In rain they lose 2 notches to ALL attributes but max speed and passing speed. TB is the only team not to get a RAIN penalty. These are quite massive adjustments. It would be like one team having their whole team in good and the other having their whole team in bad before even factoring in the actual conditions.

  26. Hey guys—I cut some footage together from Ep. 1 of The Dynasty!! TB12 Tecmo Super Bowl > Tecmo Bowl 🥳🤣 TB12 Tecmo Super Bowl - The Dynasty Promo.mp4 ### Also, I nerfed some Patriots skill players speed. I’ve been getting great feedback from some players. Although my spreadsheets argue that the Patriots players are the stoutest, the general playing experience is better balanced by dropping speed values a bit. 1.0.5 update: RB - Corey Dillion RS from 38 to 31; MS from 69 to 50 WR - Wes Welker MS from 63 to 56 WR - Troy Brown MS from 56 to 50 WR - Julian Edelman RS from 44 to 38

  27. So I got this physical NES cartridge of TB12 Tecmo Super Bowl last week, and am currently in talks with a frame maker to make me a custom frame/light box with TSB artwork for this cart. Haven’t gotten the quote on that yet. Very exciting developments.

  28. I have been searching for who is on the cover many MANY years! I've had a few conversations w/ Shimogi about it and his only knowledge was that it was a hired person for the day & he has no way of finding out who it was as he was in Japan and the person used for this was in California Is there any chance you have Brian's last name ? Having a TSB cart autographed by him has been a lifelong quest for me!

  30. I started about a month ago, so this is pretty new for me, too. First, are you able to find the players using a hex editor? I found him at line 001383EO. This is where loading the table helps. You should be able to see his name on the right side if the table is loaded. Offset 001383FC and the second byte(?) of 001393FD should give you your ERA. Maddux has EC20, or 2.36. The fourth digit is zero because his ERA is sub 2.56. E is the equivalent of 14, thus 14x.16=2.24 and C is the equivalent of 12, thus 12x.01=.12. Add E(2.24) to C(.12) and you get 2.36. I am not sure the value of the 2 in EC20. You can use the hex editor in Snes9x 1.51 to do live edits, which is a good way to learn the parts of the code. That is what I used to figure out things. That means if you want Maddux to have 6.66, you would change EC20 to 9A02 (9x.16)+(10x.1)+(2x2.56). Does that make any sense?

  31. well if you enjoy trading and such try madden 08 on pc and check out football freaks/football idiots or borrow your son's ps5 and rent madden 24 via Redbox for £3.99 at your local grocery store you really aren't going to get a good game on a cell phone you can use a ps4 or xbox controller on your cell phone if you were unaware i guess thats better than on screen controls but even ps5 madden is flawed and that's the newest tech i suggest buying madden 08 on pc and joining a online league for trading, free agents etc. also on football idiots site the Ai is no where ready to react appropriately to real life trading or free agents deals even in madden 24. PS. American Beer is rubbish enjoy a fine lager from Germany or Amsterdam to fully enjoy the beauty of hops and taste of perfection. 🇩🇪🇳🇱
