Looks like the team names are stored in the rom starting at 000132c0.
Take California (Calif.) It is 48406c6054d4.
The alphabet starts at A (40) and jumps by four for each letter till Z (a4) with a period (d4) and space (a8). This is because the letters are big and take 4 tiles each.
So you can see the names in order: Calif. , Boston, Detroit, etc. if you have a table with the letters matched with the Tengen News tiles.
I'm not sure about the spaces, so you can mess with that yourself. Anyway, this is the same format as changing any other text in the game, you have a limited amount of space for each word.
Now, with some changes, we can all read about Tampa Bay's last win in the Tengen Sports Section. Oh joy!
Nice!
Nightwulf
Excellent! You should definitely add that to rbi-edit nightwulf. I can give it a whirl if you're busy...
You guys are getting me excited, I think the RBI Tech page may be coming soon...
I've been doing a little work on the paper today, and he're a little more info based on what Beanball found out:
The banner name for each time stars in the following location:
Team 1 - 132c4
Team 2 - 132cc
Team 3 - 132d4
Team 4 - 132dc
Team 5 - 132e4
Team 6 - 132ec
Team 7 - 132f4
Team 8 - 132fc
Team 9 - 13204
Team 10 - 1320c
Every team has 8 characters for their ending paper given the system Beanball gave. The 3 special characters I found are space (A8), period (D4) and dash (F0). All the names seem to include a space in the original ROM but you don't have to have one, giving you 8 characters.
The second part of the headline (which said "WINS" or "LOSES") is stored at 13374 hex. For some reason, the first character is "60" which I'm not sure what it does yet. Still playing with that part, but the WIN data is directly followed by the LOSES data.
Here's a breakdown of the ending newspaper:
(http://dee-nee.com/rbi/pics/endscreen.png)
Headine:
11456 - 1st word (TENGEN), 6 characters
1145D - 2nd word (Sports), 6 characters
11464 - 3rd word (News), 4 characters
Big Text:
Explained above, uses large alphabet instead of standard text like everything else.
11555 - CURRENT, 8 characters
1155D - RECORD, 7 characters
11726 - NEXTGAME, 8 characters
The "blahblahblah" part is made up of two tiles - one for "bl" and one for "ah" - and the only thing you can do is hand-edit those tiles (though a program like Tile Edit Pro) so say a different word.
I belive you can edit the stat headings (HR RBI etc) but I didn't get all the details since there is little reason to do so. Likewise with the W or L for wons/losses...
Those offsets from licensed or unlicensed ROM?
Nightwulf
All offsets are from the unlicensed ROM... I'm pretty sure the licensed ROM uses the first set of data that the unlicensed does not touch. So I think you subsract 10000 hex to get licensed offsets. Could be wrong on that though...
PS - When opening up the unlicensed ROM in Tile Edit Pro, there is a whole bunch of tiles for Super Sprint. I wonder if that means skunky ROM or that data is actually embedded in the unlicensed game itself...
