GlennFoleyTrue#4 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I know its probably impossible to do this but does anyone know if its possible to hack in more then 32 teams? I would really love to be able to somehow do this so I can get a fuller NCAA football tecmo game together. I think getting 100+ teams would just be absurd but maybe 40 or 50 teams? Is it even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxrom Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 There is room to add more teams, but season mode wouldn't work. There's not enough sram to track all the stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it might be worth doing. You could just use a stat extractor to track seasons. What is the most teams you could pack in, if you take out all the code that is only for tracking season stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeekLTK Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 You can't have more than 32 in the SAME ROM, but you can use multiple ROMS to accomplish this. I'm doing a 'franchise' mode on my own ROM(s) and I currently have up to 40 teams for Season 2. How I'm doing it is: I have one "Master ROM" where all of the teams are stored using the JAVA editor gmtsb-standalone-0.9.jar (which I found somewhere on here I believe). On this ROM (and .tsbsup) I have all the teams stored, 28 in the "normal" spots and then the rest on the sidebar under "Other Teams": Then for playing a season, I make copies of the Master ROM (and .tsbsup file) and rename them, then edit those to set up the teams specifically how I want them. My league is set up as follows: Northeast: Buffalo Bills Cleveland Browns New England Patriots New York Giants New York Jets New York Nighthawks Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers Toronto Titans Washington Redskins Midwest: Bismarck Bandits Chicago Bears Cincinnati Bengals Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Indianapolis Colts Lansing Sparrows Minnesota Vikings Sault Ste. Marie Saulteaux Traverse City Lakers South: Atlanta Falcons Dallas Cowboys Houston Oilers Kansas City Chiefs Kilgore Rangers Louisville Ocelots Miami Dolphins New Orleans Saints San Antonio Texans Tampa Bay Buccaneers West: Anaheim Spartans Denver Broncos Las Vegas Aces Los Angeles Raiders Los Angeles Rams Phoenix Cardinals San Diego Chargers San Francisco 49ers San Jose Apaches Seattle Seahawks So with this setup I need to make 2 copy ROMS to play the season: I name one NortheastMidwest.nes and put all teams from those two leagues into "playable slots" and then edit the schedule for them. I name the second SouthWest.nes and put all the teams from those two leagues into "playable slots" and the edit the schedule for them. Because all teams are contained inside the Master ROM I can easily mix and match by making more copies, so to have a playoff between all of these teams at the end of the season I simply create a third copy, put all of the playoff teams in it, sim to the playoffs, edit the spots so that the teams are where I want them to be on the bracket, and then play through the playoffs. Also, because all the teams are contained inside the same Master ROM, I can move players between teams even if they play in different ROMs during the season. With my current setup of 40 teams I have 8 "dead" teams in each of my season ROMs (aka teams who are in a league that is playing in the other ROM), but I simply set the schedule up so these teams only play each other and I just ignore their stats and whatnot. It is a bit complicated, but it makes it possible to play a season with more than 28-32 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
