Jaguar Hockey Legends 2013 (JHL13)

----------------------------------

 

by Fredifredo of Jagware (ROM file analysing, experimenting, roster updating, testing)

and GGN of Reboot (editor programming, minor ROM file analysis)

 

 

 

 

About

-----

 

JHL13 is a hack of the very famous unreleased Jaguar game Brett Hull Hockey. This version features:

 

- Up to 32 players for teams

- new graphs

- Player Stats for 2011-12 season

- Hockey Legends players

- about 800 players with personal stats

- development started in January 2012, NHL Rosters updated up to 13th April 2013

- last player added: Jean-Gabriel Pageau of Ottawa

 

As most people know the game is playable but not 100% (there are some known bugs that can crash the game for example). What we did was maintain the compatibility while stretching the game engine as much as we could.

 

A huge chunk of work was done by Fredifredo alone, with a hex editor: he had to decipher a lot of tables and values, then make some changes to the ROM, uploading it to Skunkboard, testing... This was done a LOT of times until the game's patterns were deciphered.

 

Near the end of 2012, Fredi announced his ROM to Jagware and GGN started making an editor to speed up the process of editing a team. In the process, the team rosters were enhanced (originally it wasn't possible to add more players to one team, and a replaced player's name could not be bigger than the original one), a BPEG injector was developed (so you can replace a lot of the game's assets) and some other bits. The editor, as like with this ROM, is available from http://reboot.atari.org.

 

 

 

In closing, we hope you enjoy this release and stay tuned for more!

qUaKe, the qUICK uTIL aLLOWING kOLOSSAL eXHIBITIONS is a simple picture display viewer that combines 640x480 pictures. They are BPEG packed so lots can fit in a single 2 or 4mb ROM. Full source code and generator program are available, so there's no excuse - you can all create your custom shows now!

rmac and rln is a continuation of Landon Dyer and Alan Pratt's MADMAC assembler/ALN linker and Subqmod's smac/sln suite. On one hand running dosbox to assemble code isn't productive, and on the other hand we found a few bugs in smac/sln and it was a chore working around them. So, with Shamus (of Virtualjaguar fame) leading the attempt and quite a few people chipping in, we're trying to make a fast and reliable Jaguar assembler for modern machines!

Tripper: to quote the Atariage release thread:

Can 3 minutes and 34 seconds of audio and 23 320x240x256 colour pictures be compressed into a 4MB ROM? After a couple of days of fiddling around, the answer is "yes"!

 

We were really deeply touched that a song has been written specifically about the Atari Jaguar (by Tripper Getem here), so we figured that the best we could do was to put it in a ROM and juxtapose some pictures to depict the song's lyrics. We used the ADPCM CODEC for the audio, and we think it's a good compromise for compression vs quality.

 

But wait, it gets better! Not only we want to share the resulting ROM with you (attached in this post), we also went ahead and released the source code for it, so everyone can make a ROM with the song of their liking and pictures of their own!

 

So feel free to grab the ROM and enjoy this unique piece of music!

 

(P.S. the timings are spot-on on real machines. For emulators YMMV!)

For those who are not already familiar with it, the AC is a convention dedicated to gaming on 8/16/32-bit computers, and will take place in France at Congis (near Paris). Events will include software and hardware projects presentations, a gaming tournament, free play and exhibition of all machines from iconic brands. For the 4th year now, the AC has included a game-creation speed-coding contest, and been witness to the birth of ambitious projects. A new challenge for 2012 is approaching.

This year, the theme will be : "a music-based game".

You can of course choose to create a purely musical game such as Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero, but you can as well unleash your imagination as long as your game is based on music. For example, what about a shoot-em-up were you would collect musical scores fragments to build a song?

As usual, to make things interesting, a final element you'll have to take into account will be revealed just before the start of the contest.

For any questions, don't hesitate to contact me (Jeffrey) at

The Retro-Gaming organization website (featuring a forum, info about former conventions, etc.) :

http://www.retro-gc.org/

To conclude, here are the speed-coding contest rules:

• This coding contest's aim is to create a game on your preferred platform, on a given theme.

• The contest will last from 9 AM on Saturday to 3 PM on Sunday.

• There are no technical restrictions, your game can be as small as 4 KB or as large as 16 MB (or more), on whichever platform you like. No categories : all entries will be competing against each other.

• We may ask the author(s) to show and present their entry on stage using the video projector.

• All game elements - code, graphics, sound and music, etc. - must have been created either by the contestant(s), or under a license that allows them to be used legally (public domain, Creative Commons, etc.)

• After the end of the contest, all productions may be featured and redistributed on several media, such as a commemorative video DVD, websites like scene.org and pouet.net, etc.

• Only a single entry per crew (or person) will be accepted.

• The game must be new, i.e. not released before the contest.

Good luck !

The Retro-Gaming Connexion organization is proud to announce that its next RGC convention will take place on November 5th and 6th.

Like hundreds of enthusiasts during the last seven years, participate in one of the greatest retro/alternative-gaming-themed gatherings in France, and enter the Retro-Gaming Connexion Pantheon!

Discover or rediscover great classics which used to be your gaming partners, as well as more recent productions such as Dynamite Dreams on the Sega Dreamcast, or the Atari 2600 port of Halo. A complete range of machines from every era will be available, from the Pong to the PSX, including the SNES, the Neo Geo and plenty of others. But more exotic machines will also be featured, such as the Vectrex, the Gizmondo and a lot more...

As always, our team will welcome you with its permanent enthusiasm and friendliness.

We've relocated to a new arena this year (Meaux, in the Seine-et-Marne) which is easier to find, but also a lot bigger (1,200 m² / approx. 13,000 square feet) to better suit your needs. But our regulars shouldn't worry: "more space" doesn't mean "too many people", as we want to keep the laid-back atmosphere which makes this convention a unforgettable event.

Preview of the festivities:

- Booths: numerous thematic booths where you'll discover rare and exotic consoles, or different ways of playing (e.g. : networked PS1s).

- New games demonstrations: you'll have the opportunity to try out the latest homebrew or semi-pro releases on your favorite machines.

- Contests: join the current-day gladiators and maybe become the retro-gaming champion.

- Quizzes: test your knowledge and compete against the best video game gurus.

- Sales/trading: as always, a large area will be devoted to it.

Fueled by the same dedication that has been defining it for ten years now, the Retro-Gaming Connexion organization will once more be present to fulfill your expectations, and make those two days a moment of sharing and happiness.

We are eager to welcome you into our retro and alternative-gaming arena. Sharpen your gamepads, they'll be your swords during this weekend.

Groups members, designers or mere enthusiasts: do you have a project, game or group you'd like to introduce? We will be happy to let you use the stage to express yourself. Contact us on:
