Made a couple quick changes tonight.
New: The "2-player pausing" hack is now selectable on the "Hacks" page. This hack allows either controller to call "time" during the game. While this isn't anything terribly groundbreaking, it's a major help in online games.
Fixed: The "strikes don't count" and "balls don't count" hacks were not detected correctly when uploading a ROM. This has been corrected.
As always, please let me know of any questions / comments / complaints you may have.

Well done nightwulf!
With the anticipated jump on online RBI happening shortly, do you think we should possibly make the 2-player pause a default option when creating a new ROM? I take it the raw amount of code edited is small and there is basically no chance for side effects. So I see it as a feature with no drawbacks?
What does everyone else think, 2-player pause by default?

Well, I'm wary of making any assembler change a default, but I'm just anal like that. The code edited is very small (12 bytes overwrite existing code, 19 additional bytes), and I'm confident that there's no "chance for side effects." A disassembly of the hack is attached.

before i got my little rbicentral roms site, i've been away from the rbi editing scene for a while. the new version of your editor is great, good job with all the enhancements. the only bad thing is every time you come up with an editing breakthrough i feel compelled to go through all my roms (what am i up to now, 18 i think?) and update all of them- ha ha ha.
thanks again nightwulf

Another quick update tonight. Gantry's "play the same teams" hack is now selectable from the "hacks" page.
