The Bases Loaded: NPB 2007 hack is finally done!
It's not perfect, but it's just about ready for release, so download it and have some fun. Screenshots: 
There are a few known flaws: it looked like there was more space for jersey numbers than there actually was, and in the end I lost two tiles and had to make adjustments. Watanabe of Chiba is wearing #33 instead of #31, and Esteban Yan of the Hanshin Tigers is #29 instead of #92. The other flaw is that sometimes the initial letters of the team names on the screen are incorrect. If the team's name started with B, S, or O, I couldn't figure out how to change the displayed letter without messing up the ball/strike/out indicator. I'm sure this can be fixed, though. The lineups are correct as of Opening Day; some teams have already made adjustments and switched around their rotations, but I left things as they were going into the season. Also, pitch speeds are given in MPH rather than km/h; had no idea how to change this back to metric. Japanese fans can use this game to familiarize themselves with miles. I paid very little attention to skin color, so a lot of these Japanese guys will have darker skin than they do in reality. But the displayed stats (which match up reasonably well with their actual abilities), the team colors, the player names, and the jersey numbers are just about perfect. This should be a good introduction to Japanese baseball. IPS file is here: http://www.geocities.com/heiankyo794/basesloadednpb2007.zip |

1) The game is for NES?
2) Is this a translation hack? ____________________ |

No; it's a hack of the NES game Bases Loaded which substitutes the teams and players of 2007 Nippon Pro Baseball (the Japanese major leagues) in for the existing players (which were based on the NPB in 1987).
Sorry for not being clearer; I thought everyone knew that Bases Loaded was for the NES! The IPS patch is based on the North American cartridge "Bases Loaded (U)", though I could make one that's based on the Japanese original "Moero! Pro Yakyu" if people wanted it. It's been a while since i released a hack; if there's other essential information I'm forgetting, just let me know. |

Posted by NightKevBy that I meant the Game (and subsequently, of course, the hack) was made for the NES. Not that you created an NES game from scratch or whatever. Edit: Also, your hack is added to the resident "Hack List" thread  .____________________ |

Posted by NightKevPosted by NightKevBy that I meant the Game (and subsequently, of course, the hack) was made for the NES. Not that you created an NES game from scratch or whatever. No problem; BTW, my "no" is in response to your second question. It's not a translation; it's a hack. Some more features that might be worth mentioning: * The number font has been tweaked so that the digits are all thinner; this way the single digits and double digits look good together, and are set off from the alphabet, making the scoreboard and its "9FURUTA, 8YUICHI..." look better. The inning numbers are in Japanese now. * Some of the teams have slightly unusual uniform colors so that no two teams look alike (as happened with New York and Utah in the original). The Yomiuri Giants actually wear orange shirts only in practice; same for the Hawks (pale yellow) and Eagles (gold). * The stats are actual totals from 2006; rookies either have last year's minor league stats, or for guys straight out of school, made-up-but-realistic stats. ^^; * There are more, uh, "short-tempered" players than there were in the original. These are the 12 team names in full: Chunichi Dragons Hanshin Tigers Yakult Swallows Yomiuri Giants Hiroshima Carp Yokohama Bay Stars Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Seibu Lions Fukuoka Softbank Hawks Chiba Lotte Marines Orix Buffaloes Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles Since the original game, the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes have merged with the Orix Blue Wave, the Eagles have been created as an expansion team, the Hawks have moved to Fukuoka and changed owners twice, and the Fighters have moved up to Sapporo. (I hope their ownership never changes! Go Ham!) |

Now you Heian I love Baseball, no there's no reason why I can't try this hack out. You were working on this for a while if I can remember. You make great Baseball hacks, I'll try this out when I get home later on tonight, I gotta head out the door now. Awsome work though.  ____________________ My Linktree |

Nicely done, Heian. Glad to see you're still working on hacks for sports games (considering they're few and far between.  ) ____________________  |

Duffjr, YES, Norkus is absolutely real; he's Akinobu Okada, who has now retired and is managing the Tigers. Just who the players are is worthy of a long FAQ. I'll post more on this later, but for now -- since I'm sure you're wondering -- Paste of NJ is Bob Horner, who was indeed hammering the ball at a 50-homer pace when he joined the Swallows in mid-season as this game was released.
One thing I forgot to mention! My game lists the teams in order of the previous year's standings. So the Dragons and Fighters won it last year, with the Yokohama Bay Stars and Rakuten Eagles finishing last. There isn't so much of a gap in this game, though, and you could certainly lead one of those tail-enders to the pennant if you tried. I was trying to decode the password system -- nobody wants to play a full season with a hack so I was trying to crib together some passwords that were about 33 games from the pennant: a mini-season, but long enough to play a series with every opponent. Unfortunately I couldn't solve it. One thing I did manage to figure out is that often if you reverse the 5th and 6th characters in a password, you still get a valid one. For example, EHABAEA puts you at 41-0 to start the season (Boston in the original; Yakult in this one; earned those 41 wins myself!), and EHABEAA is also OK, but you're Jersey/Nippon Ham this time. If you've ever wondered what happens when you play an entire season and lose the pennant race, try one of these two hacked passwords: CHXAACC (Giants: 162nd game, 26 wins; season ends in defeat after this game) CHXACAC (same here, 28/142) If you want to finish the season undefeated but still have the luxury of dropping a game or two (huh!?), try EBDBAAJ. Chunichi Dragons, two wins in the books already, but it's the "zeroth" game of the season. And Dr. Death, are you working on any other baseball games? I liked your Baseball Stars hack; that was a lot of fun. |

Actually, I've been messing with Baseball Stars 2 quite a bit. Beyond the really sad way they butchered the Create-a-team feature, it's not a bad sequel, especially for creating a MLB-style hack of the 12 available teams. The only thing getting in the way is some of the ways the game handles the View League screen, especially with team names and initials reverting. Basically, once I get some more time on my hands I might release a hack and some ROM mapping as well. ____________________ |

Dr. Death, I'd love to see a hack of Baseball Stars II; that game had a lot of potential, but since you couldn't name your own players, the primary reason to play it sort of disappeared.
I think my next sports hack will be for Bases Loaded II. The biorhythm system means that you have to shake up your lineup from time to time. I wish I knew more assembly -- getting some of those hidden stats to display on the screen would make the game even better. I also discovered a flaw in my hack. The Yomiuri Giants have no backup catcher -- if you try to pinch hit for Shinnosuke Abe, the game will tell you that you don't have another catcher. This problem occurred in the original game as well; I think Utah had only one catcher. In my casem I selected the rosters based on who had the most at-bats last season, and since the Giants former backup, Murata, isn't on the team anymore, I didn't notice that none of the 10 guys on the Giants' bench were catchers. I'll have to fix that. More "real player" trivia from the original: Utah pitcher #50 Quinta is Brad 'The Animal' Lesely; Philadelphia pitcher #20 Car (who gives up the homer in the demo screen) is a guy named Sanchez whose first name I forget. That team's clean-up hitter, Oko, is actually Warren Cromartie, who had a long and distinguished career in Japan with the Giants. Boston's Frieda is Randy Bass, who came within one homer of the single-season record in 1985 before the Giants intentionally walked him four times on the last day of the season. The original Japanese game has some outrageous flaws: the foreign power hitters can hit homers almost every time up, and some of them have different animations in which they're fat. They also have a bug that makes the game near-unplayable: the foreign hitters can't bunt, but if you swing halfway (instead of pressing B like a normal bunt), he'll square up like any other bunter. But he still has the power of a real swing! This 'bunt home run' thing ruined this game's reputation in Japan, and they never got the superior 'fixed' version that was sold in the US. |

Posted by luis No, it's the North American cartridge "Bases Loaded (U).nes" (or something similar). If you patch it to the Japanese game ("Moero! Pro Yakyu"), it'll glitch, since the data is in different positions in the Japanese game. |
