Finishing what Tengen started...

[Turd]

Nice. Let us know the results and how it played.

This thread looks great.  I have been away for too long.  I will look forward to reading more.  Please keep us updated.

Yeah I been playing the rom a bit and the stats seem pretty good. Nothing stands out as a 'WTF HOW IS THAT GUY SUCH A MONSTER?' type situation. Where we are with the dev? I know you were working on something tecmo, but what else did you need from us?

[Turd]

I'm not working on Tecmo...what dev stuff are you talking about? The ROM is done, save for removing those two teams. That's it...and I left that as an exercise to teach myself stuff. Other than that, just awaiting Gantry's results with Lips on Tuesday...

[Clambutt]

Gantry's results with Lips on Tuesday...

sounds sexy...

[Turd]

Haha, I wondered if someone would pick up on that.

[kahouty]

Ah ok. Sweet. Working on something, Tecmoturd. My writing has gone to shit. Sweet so its a wrap.

[Gantry]

Well Lips never made it to my house but I was able to snag a controller.  Played a game against the CPU with CLE and somehow lost to LAD.  Notes:

* Joe Carter is good
* On a popup to short the CPU caught it yet I was able to tag up to 3rd base and he didn't throw it despite being 15 feet away.  Never seen that before, but I don't play the CPU a ton.  Soon as a tried to go home he threw it.
* Still don't like the CLE colors, but if it's the only thing that fits so be it. 

All in all played fine.  Not much power but the CPU was LA and I couldn't hit for shit.  Will play a few more with various teams to keep testing

That happens a lot.

[Gantry]

OK then I guess I need more experience against the CPU - I recall them throwing immediately after trying to advance the base after a flyout. 

[TβG]

not all the time.  just like on an overthrow to third, sometimes the fielder will allow you to advance to third and then if you try to go home, then he'll throw.

[Gantry]

Pimped this thread and tecmoturd's site on the front page.  Dee-Nee.com, almost updated yearly!

[Turd]

Sweet! Looking forward to more ROM feedback.

[Turd]

Since you put it on the front, I felt obliged to update the site with news about the tourney and some info on the 2010 ROM.  I should also mention the 1987 ROM...

[Turd]

Also, Gantry, you did pick two teams that are lacking in power...CLE has 4 guys under 785, and then a few 800+ and a Joe Carter at 900+ so they aren't gonna crush everything, but they should be ok...the Dodgers have a similar story...

Still not a fan of the Indians color? I thought you said "approved." Since you were a large contributor, if you really have a preference for their colors and feel it would be realistic that they change, I'm all ears, brother.  I just couldn't find any pics with what you previous mentioned, everything was grey/blue.  Show me some pics or something, or rationalize with me and I'll change it.  I'm anal about that stuff too, so I get it.  Hit me with your idea...

In case I didn't post this, I'll put this (as well as a link to the download for the ROM) in the top thread as well as this one...

The roster file for this ROM can be found here: http://rbi30.sweethoss.com/roster.php?romid=2

[Gantry]

Nah, I just like to bitch - the colors are easy enough to get used to. 

Going to play a game or two every day to see if there are any kinks, but things are looking good

[Stock]

Looks good.
Can't wait until I have time to play.
Assuming I cannot play with FCEUltra??

not sure how you compute your formula, but how can dawson be ranked below jackson?  every single programmed ability is better for dawson.  do you give a lefty advantage of some sort?

Yes, I give a big advantage to being a lefty.

Hrbek should make the list over mattingly then, imo.
