    keithisgood got a reaction from TheRaj in Scoreboard Editing Map   
    I searched the forums and didn't find any info (apologies if this is posted elsewhere), so I mapped out the Scoreboard screen that plays between quarters. The data begins at $155D7 and runs to $1574E. The screen is chopped into palette sized blocks (4 tiles by 4 tiles). Each block of data begins with the palette designation then each tile in order going left to right and then top to bottom. I've attached a map which overlays each specific area with its location in the rom.

     

    Where the sky and the actual score is drawn from, I haven't yet found out. The scores are drawn as sprites, I believe.

    I did a column on this awhile back for tecmobowlers.com. I think it was called Tecmo Wimps; the article included a rom where one team was made of the worst players by position.

    Its a reddit thread, guy claims to have 4 tecmo prototype carts. One of them is TSB. In the accompanying imgur album, it looks like the CHR chip has a later date (8/29) than the version of the prototype that was already dumped (8/17).
     
    Wonder what CHR changes Tecmo made between 8/17 and 8/29?

    keithisgood got a reaction from MvG Sports in Was Steve Grogan the first man out of Tecmo Super Bowl   
    Hot damn, you're right. I was looking through 1990 season logs, hadn't even thought to check 1989. Well now I wonder if there wasn't someone else who went out earlier?

     

    Did a little digging on Wayne Walker and it looks like, even though he last played NFL ball in 1989, he was still in the league in 1990. He didn't make San Diego's roster (and therefore lacks 1990 stats at pro-football-reference and nfl.com) because he tore up his knee in training camp prior to the 1990 season. He was, however, placed on injured reserve by the Chargers. So although he didn't roster or play, he was still technically in the Chargers organization, and therefore, still in the NFL. He went to Minnesota's training camp in 1991, but was waived on August 27th, 1991. Same thing with Buffalo in 1992.

     

    Incidentally, he went on to have a hell of a good run in the CFL.

     

    So for the moment, it's still Jessie Clark. I might dig through 1989 rosters, though, to see if maybe there wasn't someone who played in 1989 but got cut at the end of Training camp after Tecmo set its rosters.

    This is an update to the 32-team Tecmo Bowl rom, updating the title, opening crawl, and team select screen graphics. I've also inserted various other graphics in the rom file in case an enterprising hacker would like to further change the rom.

    Wow. Your logo game is on point. My only critique--and maybe this has more to do with the limitations of the nes--is you're using an old Xavier logo: http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/919/Xavier_Musketeers/

    Just hopping in to let you know about another LoZ hack called Legend of Link. It is perhaps the most technically impressive game ever made for NES. Tons of fun. Light /Dark work mechanics like Link to the Past, all built from the original NES Legend of Zelda. Check it out.

    If you haven't already, you should browse www.romhacking.net. There's a lot of really good nes rom hacks there. There's also a lot of really bad nes rom hacks, but some good ones as well.

    Tiffani, to answer your questions:

     

    Most of the games above can be played on most any NES emulator. From looking quickly at the nesDS documentation, it looks like you should be okay with most everything, excepting maybe some of the Chinese-made NES games (as many used custom hardware not found on the NES). 

     

    Downloading the above hacks falls in a legal grey area. If you were to download plain NES game files (such as Super Mario Bros. 3 or Legend of Zelda), you can only legally do so if you own the physical cartridge of the game you're downloading. As the above are either hacks (modifications of the original games) or homebrews (all new NES games built from the ground up), legally, you should (should) be okay. I should also say I've never heard of an ISP restricting/prosecuting/cutting off/etc. users for downloading .nes files. I hope that covers it.

     

    THAT SAID, i have another hack to add to the mix. It's a hack of the Legend of Zelda called The Legend of Link. I don't use the term lightly in saying it's epic. Like a Mix of Link's Awakening and Link to the Past on an NES. VERY cool. The downside here is that it's not compatible with all emulators. The author wrote a ton of original code for this one and some emus can't handle it. Full documentation can be found here: http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?id=7308

    keithisgood got a reaction from Donnie Dohnson in Was Steve Grogan the first man out of Tecmo Super Bowl   
    Man, this is another weird one. He was cut before the 89 season but put on Denver's practice squad. Due to injury, Denver only activated him for one game - Super Bowl XXIV. He didn't get into the game and Denver cut him again prior to the 1990 season.

    http://articles.latimes.com/1990-01-26/sports/sp-858_1_denver-broncos

    It seems Tecmo set their rosters sometime in August of 1990, before teams made final cuts on Sep 4.

    aaaand now I've got it. 

    Jessie Clark last played for the Minnesota Vikings in week 5 of 1990, Grogan in week 8 and Laufenberg in week 16. Jessie Clark is our man, the first TSB player out of the league.

     

    There are a few others, incidentally, who went out before Grogan.

    After some long hours, the 2015 ROM is ready for its first release.  We'll go through about a week or so of tweaking and updates based on any bugs people find and then release a final one after that.  Enjoy!
