WHy is every RBI 3 rom "blacked out" ??

[Bundy]

I am new to the forums and need help. I cannot find any playable RBI 3 roms for my RockNES emulator on my PC. Every single RBI 3 rom that I download has no video, the screen is just black.  Help??? !!!!!!           

[TempoGL]

just a guess, but is it one of those ROMs that are really tough to emulate?

awesome user name, btw.

[Bundy]

thanks, Its my knickname.  and i dont know about the rom, all that i know is that I cannot play RBI 3 and I am starting to tweak-out over it....My only other option is to hunt down an old NES and buy the dam game

[Gantry]

I have a feeling there was a bad RBI3 ROM and every other ROM site stole a copy of the same ROM and never tested.  Obviously this doesn't help you, but an explanation nonetheless...

[Gantry]

And welcome Bundy!

[Bundy]

oh ok thanks.. also thanks for the warm welcome.  I am a HUGE RBI baseball fan. RBI 2&3 mostly...I just wish I could find a good RBI 3 rom

[Turd]

Wow, rare to find people who prefer 2 & 3. Search bit torrent for a legit copy of the ROM, or try nestopia, which is really the best emulator out there. Mybe RockNES has trouble with it.

[Bundy]

ok will do...and by the way, go Brewers!! I am from WI myself

[Bundy]

I have problems downloading Nestopia without gettting spammed....I have windows Vista, is that the problem?    Anyone know where to find a playable RBI 3 copy??

[Turd]

You can find a legitimate copy on my site here:

Also, what part of WI are you from?

[Bundy]

I actually figured out the problem...RockNES wasnt strong enough to handle the RBI3 rom or something...I just used JNES and it worked fine...thanks for all of your help guys!!! I am glad that I have found you all   lol       ANd I live about an hour north of Milwaukee and an hour south of Greeen Bay, right in the middle in a town called Fond du Lac

I feel like I've had a pretty good beer from Fond du Lac...but I may just be confusing it with La Fin Du Monde.

[Turd]

Yeah, La Fin Do Monde (one of my all-time faves) is brewed in Canda...

I know of Fondy...they were in our division back when I played high school football (I did not score 4 TD in a single game).  I pass through there on my way up north to visit my family (I grew up in Kimberly).

What do you like about RBI 3 vs. the original?

I don't think Reds understood the question

[BeefMaster]

What do you like about RBI 3 vs. the original?

My answers to this:

- All 26 teams, plus all those division winners (even though some of them had some missing players)
- Full 24-man rosters
- DH support
- 7-game series with changing home teams (I think)
- Jumping/diving (I'll acknowledge this isn't a plus in everyone's eyes)
- An "end boss" team
- Home run distances
- Configurable hard mode (which was slightly harder, although still not a tremendous challenge) and mercy rule

Not all of them are hugely important, but they're all reasons why I prefer RBI 3 to the original.  Some of those have been added to the original with hacks, but they weren't native to the game, and they obviously weren't around when I was forming my opinion on the games as a kid.

Random observation - In addition to the DH, RBI 2/3 have positions for players (just IF/OF/C, nothing more specific).  I've always assumed that having too few of a position causes an increase in team error rate, but I haven't really noticed it in practice.

[Turd]

Thos are all very nice, but to me the graphics on the later versions sucked.  Perhaps for nothing more than nostalgia, I prefer the simple, fat pudgy player models from the original.

Combine all that with the added features, and yeah, I could see it being a great game...

[The Greeter]

I've got a copy of RBI3 that works.  Just tried it in NEStopia, runs fine.  Send me message with your email and I will send it to you, free of charge <grin>.

[Bundy]

I agree with Beef Master 100% on why I prefer RBI 3 (and RBI2) over the first one. Now for the million $ question....Has anyone ever faced an invisible team at the end of RBI 2 or 3?   I have defetead this invisible team as a kid and never really thought much of it.. Now, when I look it up on the internet, there is no mention of such a team in any of the cheat codes or whatever...I cant remember if it was at the end of RBI3 or RBI 3...and now whenever I play and defeat the RBI 3 rom, there is no invisible team, just a TENGEN TEAM..anyone???
