Hey Gewal,


I made a editor for arcade gold, but not 100% if it works or would work. I've never gotten someone to test it. Pretty much it requires you to edit the raw bin (decompressed chd). The assumption is that the arcade version uses text and renders the players names in game. However if it works like the PC version and renders it from a sprite it wouldn't work as intended. I'm more then willing to help walk you through testing the editor with the arcade version so we can figure it out.

I have both of these arcade versions with the chd's loaded on CF Flash drives.

I have seen a couple posts about a potential roster update or mod for arcade?  Was it ever completed?

If so I would love to test it out....

Thanks!

Hey RedBalckGuys,


Soooo I've got a fix in the app locally, I'll try publishing the fix today or tomorrow. Just want to do a few more tests.

Other good news is I've tested your ROM hack on real hardware and for the most part it works! which is awesome since I've never seen a rom hack with this many teams added and this many inserted graphics. The only thing I've noticed is there seems to be some issues with the Toronto team. I'll see if i can figure that one out also.

Also thanks for using the tools! It's hard to advance them without feedback from others. On that note if you see anything that could use an improvement or if there is something I could do to make it easier to use let me know!

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know I got your email. Was in my spam folder :|. I took a look and the file table is at the end of the rom, I've manually extended the file and it seems top allow me to insert more files. I'll see what i can do to make the file editor automatically do this.

Hi everybody,

Newbie here, just signed up after tinkering with a Blitz mod for a little while. I have run into a wall and hopefully someone might have had a similar issue or knows a workaround.

First off, I just want to say how cool it is that there is a community dedicated to Blitz. The new football games are so boring now. Blitz is so simple and intense probably never see a game like it again. So I was super excited to have found out that there are others who go back to this game and even update it. And the tools available here are incredible. With no prior experience, I can create my own blitz mod with paint by numbers-like ease.

So, I am a big time Canadian football fan. But being that a new and full-fledged, fully-licensed CFL game would ever turn a profit or worth anyone's time to create... there won't be ever be a CFL Madden 20XX. While there are great CFL mods available for Madden, NCAA etc., Blitz is really the perfect mould for a CFL game. So I figured I'd try my hand at it.

Now I have made some good progress. I have been able to replace 10 NFL teams with the current CFL teams without much of an issue. My problem arises when I try to replace more. It seems I have hit a wall, now any time I try to add a new image file or replace another through the editor, the files corrupt. Now, me being a complete noob, I don't know what exactly is causing this. Is there a memory limit on the ROM? Maybe a limit of image files that can be injected into ROM before it explodes? I have also used the clone tool to add another team, perhaps that has caused issue?

My idea is to replace all the NFL teams with historic CFL teams, 90's expansion teams, fantasy teams etc. Is it possible that all 30+ teams can be replaced on a ROM or is it too much?

I have attached an image of what happens when I try to add/replace a new file.

Also, is there a way to post a link to the hack I've created thus far?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
