...and we're up and running with Tecmo NBA Basketball 2022: https://retrohoops.net/home-page/roms/tecmo-nba-basketball-2022-r15/ Did my first round of simple hacking on this one (rosters aside), so at least it says "2021" or "2022" where applicable. Finally looks "legit" enough. Now, if anyone can get that Rabbit tool to work with this NES ROM for facial features and skin tones, let me know. Thanks!

OK, so another week behind that, but the 22 HWC is up now. https://retrohoops.net/files/file/32-nba-live-22hwc/ So, onto the Tecmo "Ball" games...

Yes, but I'm way behind at the moment. https://retrohoops.net Currently working on NBA Live 22 HWC. I'm planning to release something this coming weekend (~12/4/21). After that will be Tecmo NBA and Super NBA, which will be near end of December (shooting for a Christmas release time... no pun intended). However, my Tecmo B-Ball ROMs are "OK" at best--I'd honestly call them prototypes. In fact, I'd prefer to get some other folks involved to hack it to make them better, make their own versions, make other versions like a college ROM initially requested. In the meantime, ping @Baron von Lector as he might working on an updated Tecmo NBA ROM.

Hello! After publishing the recent releases of Tecmo NBA Basketball & Tecmo Super NBA Basketball (for 2019-2020): https://tecmobowl.org/files/file/666-tecmo-nba-basketball-2020/ https://tecmobowl.org/files/file/667-tecmo-super-nba-basketball-2020/ I must say their editors don't appear to be as efficient as I had hoped. Let's just say completing these games became a labor of love and pure willpower after a couple of months. Anyway, can anyone out there help with the following improvements for these ROMs? 1) Update the year(s), where applicable to 2019-2020 2) Add the remaining three (3) teams: Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, and Toronto Raptors 3) Add the missing Divisions: Southwest and Southeast 4) Rename the Midwest Division to the Northwest Division 5) Reorganize the teams in alphabetical order, where applicable (e.g. Brooklyn and OKC) 6) Place the teams in their correct divisions 7) update team logos These are the immediate improvements I can think of, and I'm certain there are others as well. Also, for quick reference, I'm working with the Rabbit and Tecmo NBA Manager utilities, but they also need their own updates/fixes (more on that later). Thanks in advance!

Tecmo Super NBA Basketball 2020 View File Updated version of Tecmo NBA Basketball with the 2019-2020 rosters, which are updated as of 03/11/2020 (i.e. season ending due to COVID-19 outbreak). This is a fully functional game, but again I consider it a beta/prototype because: *missing 3 teams--including the Toronto Raptors! (sorry, I'm not currently fluent in ROM hacking enough to extend this game from 27 teams to 30 teams) *missing 2 conferences (same; don't know how to hack this yet) *updated player stats, but don't fully understand the player editor at the moment (though I have a good feel for it) Submitter kdubmods Submitted 04/26/2020 Category SNES
