OK, here is this season's schedule. As I mentioned earlier, we're splitting into two Divisions: The Gantry Division and The Doverbi Division. The top two teams in each Division will play each other for their Division Championship, with those winners meeting in the World Series.
Team rosters are located at http://fantasyrbi.rbicentral.com/FantasyRBI/FantasyRBITeams.html (http://fantasyrbi.rbicentral.com/FantasyRBI/FantasyRBITeams.html). I will update later in the day with accurate line-ups. I've split the teams up according to their draft order: the teams that drafted 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are the Gantry Division, and teams that drafted 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 are the Doverbi Division. You will play twice against your Division opponents, and once each against opponents outside of your Division.
So, the Divisions are:
THE GANTRY DIVISION
The OC
The Nimrods
The Creamy Pirates
The South Arkansas Penis
Baines
THE DOVERBI DIVISION
The Unholy Legions of Doom
The Poopydicks
The Fighting Tony Danzas
The Frank Tanana All-Stars
The Hip Young Popes

I will post the ROM, as well as the emulator we will be using, later today or tomorrow.
Bumpst.
The ROM is very close to being done - just awaiting a line-up and team name/colors from Baines.
OK, here's the ROM to date - I'm still awaiting Baines' team name and starting line-up.
Also, I'm using the VirtuaNES emulator to play and record all of the games. You can download the emulator by clicking on this link. (http://www.angel.ne.jp/~kisaraka/virtuanes/bin/virtuanes092e.zip) VirtuaNES works very well, because I can save a very small movie file (a .vmw) that is a recording of the game.
Anyone with VirtuaNES and a copy of that week's ROM can load the .vmw file and watch the movie in their VirtuaNES emulator, saving me the hassle of having to convert the game into a large AVI and chop that up into multiple bits.
Steps for watching a game video using VirtuaNES:
- Load the same ROM into VirtuaNES as was used to make the video
- Go to "Movie" and open "Replay"
- Open the video
- Watch and enjoy
Play around with VirtuaNES and let me know what you think.
What would be the fast-forward command?
The TAB button toggles the throttle off or on - this allows you to watch games on fast forward. If you go to the Option menu and select Emulator, there's a slider in the Frame Rate Control section for Throttle Use (make sure that check box is selected). You can control how fast you want the fast-forward to be when you toggle on the throttle, up to 600 FPS.
As much as I enjoy having Darrell Evans on my team, he belongs to Ultimate. I have Dewey Evans.
Good catch, lemme switch Evans.
Fixed, go ahead and download the corrected version. And if anyone catches any other errors, let me know now.
Can you easily post the ROM text file, that's the easiest way for me to proof it, other wise, I'll move the ROM to nightwulf's page and view the teams tomorrow
Done. The ROM is also saved in Nightwulf's editor as "FBL2005Preseason"

And now the schedule:
WEEK 13
The South Arkansas Penis @ The OC
Baines @ The Creamy Pirates
The Frank Tanana All-Stars @ The Unholy Legions of Doom
The Hip Young Popes @ The Fighting Tony Danzas
Note that week 13 of the schedule is missing the big Nimrods/Poopydicks match up
Noted.
OK, I'm leaving tomorrow for a weekend in Salt Lake City, and then on Monday I fly out to NY for a week. So, I'll probably just start the league up now, but with the understanding that the first "Week" of games might take a while to get completed.
Ult and Teddy, are you happy with your line-ups and rosters?
I'm fine with mine if you want to start, I also have no problem waiting another week for the season to start
The problem with waiting another week is that the week after THAT is Thanksgiving week, so it's already a short week.
As soon as I hear from Teddy, I'm going to get going with it.
Everyone else - if you want to make any changes to your rosters/line-ups for Week 1, get them to me by tomorrow.
sorry to ask for changes, but i appreciate the opportunity to fix our lineup after a few preseason watch season. here is what the oc would like as our opening day starting lineup (thanks bdawk):
1. herndz
2. burks
3. dawson
4. maldonado
5. pendleton
6. buckner
8. wilfong
9. lake
everything else the same. thanks.
Got it.

Cool, thanks
The fast-forward option would be awesome for Baseball Simulator 1.000, with its horrifically slow simulations.
i checked checked it out too, so that that will be fun to use this season. i had it up to about 220. super crack mode.
I think this long delay will be very confusing for all the players, perhaps we should start the season over.
no, no, i insist we play an international baseball tournament right in the middle of our season.
The good news is that my team is still undefeated.
The South Arkansas Penis/Creamy Pirates game was completed today. I still have to post the box for the Poopydicks/Beefmaster game. My wife is in town (NY) with me now, so I don't have a lot of Dee-Nee time (I haven't even told the GDavis Punk Rock Karaoke story yet). Expect a big assed update on Monday.
god damnit, you have an RBI league to run and you take a trip to NY?
Jesus, you're pathetic.
Now I guess you're going to tell me that the Penis was 10 run ruled by the Creamy Pirates.
Did the league go on strike?

Man Freddy went to New York. He should be back this week to resume the season and tell everyone how my highly-touted team got whomped in its first game.
One more virtual NES question:
Has anyone found a property that will allow the game to keep running even when the window doesn't have focus? I like to run watch games on a small screen while I do other stuff, I could with FCEU but with Virtual it automatically pauses when it loses focus.

Option -> Emulator, check the box for "Background movement"

OK something is wrong with week 13 of the schedule, I can't be sceduled to play the PDs because I'm playing them this week.
Shit, lemme look at it and see.
OK, I had fixed that earlier. Check the schedule again at http://fantasyrbi.rbicentral.com/FantasyRBI/Schedule.html (http://fantasyrbi.rbicentral.com/FantasyRBI/Schedule.html) - the last couple of weeks are not quite balanced, but we'll make it work...
