    bruddog got a reaction from SBlueman in What is your take on how the original game handled 4-3 defenses?   
    Well the 3-4 scheme as a default is getting pretty outdated for modern NFL. Most teams "base" defense is nickel. If anything one of the LB's should be an extra cornerback for most teams. 
     
    It's one thing I never liked...LB3 picks up a ton of sacks on picked plays. 
     
    I almost always aligned 4-3 teams as follows
     
    RE= ROLB
    DT= RE
    DT =NT
    LE= LE
     
    WLB = RILB
    MLB = LILB
    SLB= LOLB

    bruddog reacted to chrittycren in Tecmo Bowl music added to Tecmo Super Bowl   
    Just by hearing the music in both games, it's safe to say that there are two different engines. Earlier games (Tecmo Bowl, Rygar, Ninja Gaiden, and Tecmo Baseball) have the same sounds and instrumentation while later games (Tecmo Super Bowl, Tecmo World Wrestling, Ninja Gaiden II & III, and Bad News Baseball) have the same sounds and instrumentation.

    bruddog got a reaction from buck in How can you edit logic so COM doesn't go for it on 4th down in a tie when inside their own end of the field?   
    Yes, about a minute after I posted, I came to the same conclusion that you did.  I must read your previous post too quickly.

    bruddog reacted to buck in How can you edit logic so COM doesn't go for it on 4th down in a tie when inside their own end of the field?   
    bruddog - I went all over this and already fixed it.  the logic path leads to loop22.  in loop22, after the scores are Compared (A5A0 C59F), there is a BCC (branch if carry clear) to Loop27 if offense winning.  then following that another BCC (9003) that won't get used because if the offense is losing or tied, the C flag won't be Clear. finally, it takes you to Loop40 where the offense is bound to run a play.
     
    basically, there should have been a "Greater Than (winning) or Equal To (tied)" check. the original programming only has the "greater than" part.
     
    Luckily, you can just overwrite that worthless BCC 9003 to an actual BEQ (branch if equal) F035 and jump to Loop27 - the same actions would be taken as if COM were winning (if ball is >= 50 yd line, will punt).  
     
    I've been testing this for the past 3 days and run multiple tests and scenarios.  it works.

    bruddog got a reaction from buck in Possible to edit how quickly players get up?   
    I took a look into devolving this so that roll animations could be created

     

    at 0x1B109 we have the pointer to B132 + 10 for ines offset= 0x1B142

     

    From bucks earlier great work we have that pointer = quick flip back wards right (3 yards)

     

    General command code

    80 FF    = end of animation

    80 xx yy = load new sprite animation address

    81-8F xx = repeat direction for 0x01 to 0x0F frames where xx is the direction    

     

    everything else = direction to move sprite =yx= high nibble = y direction, low nibble = x direction. 

     

    examples

    01= move sprite right 1/8 yard

    10= move sprite down 1/8 yard

    0F= move sprite left 1/8 yard

    F0= move sprite up 1/8 yard

    44= move sprite right and down 1/2 yard

     

     

    @0x1B142 

    03               ; move right 3/8 of yards

    80 BD 24    ; load sprite upright at 45 degree angle graphic

    F3               ; move up 1/8, right 3/8

    F2               ; move up 1/8, right 2/8

    02               ; move right 2/8

    01               ; move right 1/8 

    00               ; do nothing

    01               ; move right 1/8

    82 00          ; do nothing 2 frames

    80 BD 28    ; load sprite on back graphic

    04               ; move right 4/8

    82 00          ; do nothing 2 frames

    22               ; move down 2/8, right 2/8

    00               ; do nothing

    F2               ; up 1/8, right 2/8

    00               ; do nothing

    F3               ; up 1/8, right 3/8

    00               ; do nothing

    02               ; right 2/8

    00               ; nothing

    11               ; down 1/8, right 1/8

    00               ; nothing

    10               ; down 1/8

    82 00          ; nothing for 2 frames

    01               ; right 1/8

    83 00          ; nothing for 3 frames

    01               ; right 1/8

    84 00          ; nothing for 4 frames

    80 BD 50    ; load player on side sprite graphic

    25               ; down 2/8 right 5/8

    8F 00          ; do nothing 15 frames

    8F 00          ; do nothing 15 frames

    8F 00          ; do nothing 15 frames

    80 FF          ; end of sequence

     

    Total down 1/4 yd Right 4.125 yds ~36 frames + 45 do nothing frames at end.

    bruddog got a reaction from buck in Onsides kick hack...better recovery rate for P2   
    This hack makes recovering an onsides much more possible for player 2. This hack gives the ball a 20% chance of bouncing back towards the side that kicked it. I could make a better one but this fits without having to jump anywhere. 

     

    SET (0x2D9EA,0xA53CC933B006A98065AA85AA)

     

     

    Change the 33 to change how frequently the ball bounces back towards the side that kicked it

     

    FF = everytime

    00 = never

     

    This hack doesn't apply if the player catches the ball right when it hits.

    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.

    2E84B is the location that sets the limit for the team name to 20 characters. 
     
    Its default value is 14h . In would go in even amounts since it is trying to center it. Max value should be 20h.

    Not sure if FF is never come back or just extremely unlikely… 1/256. 
     
    Examples 
    1. 0x40 = 1- (64/256) = 75% chance
    2. 0x80= 1 - (128/256) = 50% chance

    This is my TSB2020 super hack version. This is based on my 2008 rom with custom plays. This is intended for a man vs man setting as some plays will cause the game to freeze in man vs com. 
     
    MAJOR HACKS
    1. 2pt conversion
    2. Custom defenses (you choose a defense instead of trying to pick a play)
    goaline run D 4-4 run d 4-3 run d 3-4 run D blitz pass D 4-3 pass D (best for spying QB) 3-4 pass D (ilb plays deep) dime ( double cover wr's)  3. Over 40 new plays like RB screen, WR screen, useable flea flickers 
    4. Switch sides at the end of each quarter
    5. Moving grapples
     
    USER MOVES (if turned on) 
    1. Spin move- press" B" to attempt a spin move.  You can fall, spin thru the defender or spin into the defender) 
    2. Attempt user popcorn (hold "A"  to attempt a man popcorn works better with high hp players
    3. Jump for pass. PRess "A" button to attempt to jump and block a pass
     
    NEW MOVES (can use always) 
    1.  Press "B" to move QB into shotgun
    2.  Press "SELECT" to down the ball
    3.  Press "START"  to attempt to throw the ball away OOB
    4. Tap B to throw a lob pass 
    5. hold B to throw a pass at the QB's normal passing speed
     
    MISC HACKS
    1. Angled punts
    2. Possible to block punt
    3. possible to shank puint
    4. Fast int returns (easy to take to the house)
    5. Speedy QB feet on dropbacks
    6. Crowd is home team color 
     
    Probably others I'm forgetting.

    So I got 95% of the hack done but there is another hack related to the schedule display right after where the extra schedule stuff needs to go.  It's a pain to fix the last 5 % without the enitre rom being rebuildable since i need to move that around to make room for an additional week of games in the rom. And then a bunch of stuff has to be shifted
