Fantasy RBI League Season III Schedule, Divisions and ROM

[fightonusc]

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. 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.

[fightonusc]

Bumpst.

The ROM is very close to being done - just awaiting a line-up and team name/colors from Baines.

[fightonusc]

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. 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.

[Gerlost]

What would be the fast-forward command?

[fightonusc]

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.

[Gerlost]

As much as I enjoy having Darrell Evans on my team, he belongs to Ultimate.  I have Dewey Evans.

[fightonusc]

Good catch, lemme switch Evans.

[fightonusc]

Fixed, go ahead and download the corrected version. And if anyone catches any other errors, let me know now.

[ultimate7]

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

[fightonusc]

Done. The ROM is also saved in Nightwulf's editor as "FBL2005Preseason"

[ultimate7]

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

[fightonusc]

Noted.

[fightonusc]

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?

[ultimate7]

I'm fine with mine if you want to start, I also have no problem waiting another week for the season to start

[fightonusc]

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.

[TβG]

[ultimate7]
