Snes tool

So, I made a tool. Current Version - 0. Uninstall previous versions before installing a new version You can uninstall the Tool from the "Uninstall Programs" page in Windows Settings. Bug Fixes in 0. Features :. If someone has issues, please let me know, I can change it to bit based.

The program itself is not that large, but since this is written in Python, the program also contains a Python interpreter to remove the need for Python to be installed on your computer. Disk Space on modern computers should not be a problem. It's quite possible you might have this installed already. If not, it is a free download from Microsoft. You may or may not need this anymore.

Q: Why would I want to use this tool? With the ability to export and import rosters into a ROM, these changes can be made fairly quickly, since you can change all the teams at once. For example : I want to make a ROM for a draft league with the rosters based on the '94 version. Each team will have 12 players. A total of 15 min of work, maybe less. Q: I want to create a new ROM. What should be my work flow?

A: Not a problem! The only teams that will have changes applied to them are the ones that are in the CSV file you plan on importing. You still will have to go and update the Team Lines for any teams that are changed. All other teams will be untouched. Future Additions :.

I will release it probably tomorrow once I get it working. How so? The SNES editor needs this installed too an older version. You can use it to look at every player's attributes at the same time if you'd like.

Or if you were to make your own ROM, and people ask you who's on what team and what are their ratings for each attribute, you can send them the results. It should work in wine, I can also give the source code out. It was made with Python 3. I'm trying to understand what you do with a. Chaos is probably using it for the website database? Will future versions allow you to edit the spreadsheet and then import it back into the ROM? The Genesis roster tool does that with the limitation that it doesn't let you change the number of players on teams or their names or positions -- only their attributes and sweater number.

I think because SNES has lacked this is one of the reasons SNES rarely runs any draft style leagues and overall knowledge of each guy's specific ratings is very limited, but it is a tool you'd want to use if looking through the rosters as a whole. As a result, I ended up with a stacked team in last year's auction and this year's. So, to summarize, it helps you look at all the rosters in ONE sheet to then sort out by individual skills you can sort say, Fastest players, then by weight, then by agility, etc.

I guess it requires a very new PC and an idea of how to use a spreadsheet program for sorting players by ratings. I think I get it. This might work on Windows XP, from what I read. Please try it out and let me know what errors you get.

I had tested it on Windows 7, and since it is almost 6 years old, most people running a PC would have adopted it by now. I might have to make some changes, but it would be pretty easy.

Think of it this way: Someone downloads your ROM and wants to know what players are rated 6 speed. The person can use this program to output all the teams' rosters to an acceptable format that Excel can open. Then they can sort the spreadsheet in Excel to find out all the players in your ROM that are 6 speed. Yes, the next version will allow you to import it back into the ROM.

I plan on going the extra step that the Gens tool does not do, and allow all changes name, positions, etc. I'm working on this for the next few weeks. The toughest part of this was creating the executable, the coding is simple.

To me, the SNES editor is a little cumbersome when used to make widespread changes. Once the import portion is done, the tool will be much more useful. Instead of using the SNES editor, you can do all the rosters in one fell swoop, using Excel, saving it as a.

It adds support for the Super Accelerator 1 SA1 processor that was located in the cartridges themselves. This would allow developers more CPU power for their games at the cost of a higher price to manufacture the game cartridges. So it was clearly widely used by game developers, just not sure if it was more or less common than the Intelligent Systems model. Not much is known about the first version of the Ricoh SF Box, aside from a few screenshots from an old auction listing.

It looks like a standard PC tower but has all the standard ports for Super Nintendo 9. From the outside it looks like a tower version of the SF-Box-II but it is unclear what has changed on the inside. Although Nintendo sold a very good development kit, many game studios still created their own hardware for development. They did this for various reasons such as cost and flexibility, the main in-house and commercial development kits that we know about will be described in this section.

Burn a floppy disc with a ROM binary of their code and run on the retail system. It was also widely used for backing up cartridges and piracy, many of the ROMS available online were created using the Super Magicom.

You could download code to the SNES Magicom via a parallel cable, allowing developers to send their code directly without needing to write a floppy. The system was features in the UK Magazine N-Force issue 02 as a backup device and had the usual disclaimer about owning the games you are going to backup Plenty of developers such as Mike Dailly used the Magicom as a cheap development kit for the Super Nintendo:.

Gave me a cheap ass devkit back in the early 90s with my Amiga! Accolade built their own development kit for Super Nintendo development which consisted of a retail SNES with a custom cartridge. The custom cartridge shown on the left used static RAM for the game that was being executed and an EPROM chip with development software that could monitor and debug the game. We recommend using only clean dumps of games you own. So you will need to use a program like UCON64 to remove the copy protection from the affected games if they use SRAM detection as a copy-protection feature.

Otherwise most games should work normally, whether the SRAM is enabled or not. Then select your games, and once you've done that click "Build ROM". This will prompt you to name your new multi-cart file, then save it. Use this file with the RetroBlaster programmer requires software version 2.

For example, you want to put 2x 1MByte games onto one cartridge. The software will pad both games to 2MByte, and then spit out a 4MByte multi-cart file.
