With the recent flurry of ROM work by the devoted forum members, I decided it was finally time to go ahead and make a page with all downloadable versions of RBI. Well, here it is - The RBI ROMs Page (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/roms). I intend to keep this updated with all RBI ROMs that cross my path. So if you make a ROM or know of one that isn't on this page, email me or post it on the forums. I also made "ROMs" a direct link on the left-hand navigation menu, under RBI. Too many people didn't know where to find my old ROMs page when it was buried at the bottom of the Media Page. To conserve space, I removed the Website Todo link. Download those ROMs and let me know what you think...
I am now on a quest to get every player of RBI into the RBI Hall of Shame (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/hallofshame.shtml), so help me out and track down some embarassing moments. I recently added Billy Hatcher's corked bat, Nolan Ryan's run-in with a coyote, Kent Hrbek's wrestling hi-jinks, Paul Molitor's glove-induced injury and Lou Whitaker's wedding accident. We still have a long way to go people, so hunt down the dirt on your favorite RBIer!
Important - Starting today, I am going to make every webpage update a new thread on the forums. At the bottom of every update, I'll have a direct link to that thread where you can add information, test out errors or any other general comments. I figure most of the regulars check the forums more often than the main page, and this way they can wait for me to notify them of the updates. A win-win situation...
Bah, I was working on a script for a page for downloadable ROMs from my editor. :P

Feel free to pull the info off my ROMs page in a script, though they may be more effort than it's worth...
Did the chmod update work for you?
FYI, Gantry, I actually have tried out your untested 2002 and 2003 ROMs. They were apparently made by someone who found a copy of RBI manager but didn't know what the baselines were for stats from the original game, so the power ratings are all insane (Bonds and several other players are maxed out, and even guys with <10 HR have "C" ratings). It's basically home run derby with current players.
I'm going to a Twins game this weekend, and I'll see if I can come up with any dirt on some of the '87 team for the Hall. I keep thinking Gary Gaetti had some serious closet skeletons, but I can't for the life of me remember what they are. His nickname was "The Rat" because he kind of looks like one, if that qualifies.
Good to know, I'll make the notes on 2002 & 2003 ROMs...
And if we can't find anything else on Gar, The Rat will do just nicely...
