I've been noodling around with the graphics on TSB for Sega using Fatilety.
You'll notice, I've given the Pitch a more "old-school," classic feel. Also, it looks as if it's actually been played on.
I changed the Chain Crew.
I've also modified the ball, so that it accords with the much rounder football used until (I believe) the 1950's in the NFL.
If I could, I'd have rather wanted to place the Goal Posts on the Goal Line as per their (logical) placement in the NFL until the 1970's. Alas, I couldn't find a way. I was, however, able to change them to the traditional, H-style posts . . . or, at least, came close to making it appear to be so.
There are some glitches in the alignment of the Yard Lines (e.g., at the 50- and 35-yard lines) based on that fact that they placed the NFL and Tecmo logo's on the field, both of which I removed. I don't think either is too noticeable.
I think, I might try my hand at the SNES version and do the same. Though, I must admit: I like TSB Sega better.
dude, don't under-estimate the power of the emulator - you can save states and edit stuff and go right back to where you were.
regarding the Super Bowl, just auto-sim the entire season up until the super bowl. then pick one of the super bowl teams, go in and start playing it and save states along the way, and find the things you're looking for.
btw, FCEUX 2.1.1 is the best hacking emulator I've found (for example, you can hold down the "TAB" key and fly through shit, you can auto-sim an entire season in 1.5 minutes). you can hex/memory edit on the fly (while the game's running) and all kinds of other shit that is deeper than my needs.
