New RBI Rom

[jggames]

Hey gang, just registered here.  I love the nes RBI baseball game much like most people here. I wish there was a way to play a league and keep stats and other stuff on there. That being said I downloaded all the family stadium roms and checked them all out to see which one was the best since they all pretty much play like RBI. I was looking at family stadium'90 and found some pretty cool stuff in there so I started hacking it.  I translated most of it to English(except for the rosters but I know where they are at). Anyway I could use some help. I can't locate a few things in the game and I'm getting tired of looking for them. Take a look at what this game has.

-Plays just like RBI(which most of you already know)
-6 different stadiums to choose from(even a green monster)
-League play(keeps track of standings/team stats)
-I've added logos for the top teams of last year
-6 pitchers on each team, not just

As I said the rosters still need to be done but that can be done last. There is still alot to be done but I need somebody who knows how to find things in the rom by debugging it. I can upload it somewhere if anybody would like to help. I've attached some screenshots here.

If I can do the graphics hacking and pass this off to others to do the rosters that would be ideal. I don't have a lot of time to rom hack anymore.

let me know if anybody wants to help. Sorry for the lengthy posting.

impressive!  Check the "online rbi" forums...there are leagues out there...

[TempoGL]

that is awesome, i have long dreamed of RBI with stat tracking...but why bother to include all-star teams?  it would be better to include another team from each league (like the white sox, hint hint)

Wheres the rom?

[Gantry]

Great work jggames, we would be very interested in working on this ROM.  Go ahead and attach it to a post, make sure you zip it up first...

Awesome job on the rom. 


I'm looking forward to this one.

[Ryno23]

oh man, the options with this would be endless.

We could get a league similar to the tecmo super bowl leagues going.

We need an editor for this game. So us dumb folk can do editing and such.

[TempoGL]

this rom is giving me a serious boner...especially if there is an editor made availible

Awesome job on the ROM - I especially like the work with the team logos; they're really well-done.

If you're looking for some info about how player data or other values are stored, search nightwulf's posts in the RBI Baseball board for posts containing "Family Stadium" - he's gone through some of the ROMs and found a decent amount of info.

I don't think I touched '90. I parsed stats out of '86-'88, but I think that's as far as I went. Couldn't be too difficult to look at '90; let me know what information you're looking for.

ok, cool. Sounds like we got some people interested. I've looked at the player data and it seems pretty idenical to the RBI rom so it won't be hard to update rosters. However it is difficult changing teams because of editing logos and translating the rom. There were some areas where I didn't have enough room for the whole alphabet when I substituted from japanese characters so I had to just use the letters from the teams in the game.

Another thing in the rom is that when a pitcher throws, his pitch is clocked in km/h and homeruns are measured in meters. Not sure how we'll get around that. I can change it to say m/h but I don't think anybody wants to see a 140m/h pitch.

It may help to find somebody that knows japanese. There are couple things in the game I can't guess/translate.

I posted this last night and today I'm at work so I can't upload the rom until about 5:30cst today. I'll upload it then and everybody can have there way with it.

This is something I looked at when I was digging around in FS'88. Internally, the numeric pitch speed has nothing to do with mph or kph. "American-izing" the game in this aspect is a matter of getting rid of the routine that converts internal pitch speed to kph and replacing it with mph. It wouldn't be difficult to do, unless the mph routine is larger and there's nowhere convenient to store the rest of it.

Cool, I assume the same goes for home run distance, It measures them in meters not feet. The homerun wall distance on the stadiums are in meters but I can graphically change those.

Wheres the rom?

Wheres the rom?

It appears from the rest of the posts that it is not quite ready yet.

In one of the earlier posts I mentioned that I'll upload it around 5:30cst. I don't have it on me now(I'm at work).
