As a card carrying Nintendo fanboy, I admittedly argued with the Sega kids about how much they sucked for obvious reasons. [we owned a SNES and could not afford to get a Genesis too, so obviously they sucked] But once my brother bought a used Genesis off a buddy, I had to secretly acknowledge that both consoles had their merits and would bounce back and forth between F-Zero and NHLPA '93. Also, since you mentioned it, you knew this was coming.

Rubio back on the wolves! can't wait to play, make sure he has a beard

LOL its ok bud, it's not a real competition

OK, need to explain what's going on here. The player and team data are each grouped by team. This area is limited due to ROM size constraints. When the ROM was made, obviously the ROM was not meant to be modified, so there is a fixed size for player and team data. Each player/team data group is referenced by a list of pointers. So in this list of pointers, ANH data is at one spot, BOS is at another spot, etc. This table is used by the ROM to grab the data. In Genesis, the NOSE editor gets around the size limitation by moving some of this player/team data to an empty spot in the ROM. For example, we can move the data for ANH and BOS, and change the pointer list to point at the new spots. This frees up the space originally taken by ANH and BOS and that space can be used to expand the other team rosters (Now instead of fitting 28 teams in that spot, we have 26 teams used to fill it). When I originally made this tool, it was able to do this, move the team data out, to allow expansion of the teams. Unfortunately, this broke compatibility with Statto's SNES Editor. For some reason, his editor doesn't look at the pointer list; the data positions are hard coded into it. So, since Statto's SNES Editor is limited, and my plan was to use this as an assistant to it, I had to change it so that it worked with the editor. There is a way to make this work. Though you will have to copy and paste some stuff in a hex editor, and break compatibility with the SNES editor. EDIT: So, my previous response to your original question should have been "It could work, with some caveats..." The best way to work around it would be to just use first initials instead of whole names. This would gain you some space on each team. Don't include a period, just the first initial.

This is great post in that I didn't even know that you do that level of work for the website. I knew that you did certain aspects but this gives more insight to those who read it. You certainly do your fair share to make this site work for the community. So, thanks! But, unfortunately, I didn't vote for you. LOL

I do know HTML! I mean... I think I did about the same as you did. I was pretty well versed in it, and then CSS came out, and I said f**k that s**t. I think if we did some screenshares and had me watch what you do, I could be ready to take over some responsibilities.

It's definitely a bias thing. I recommend/voted JKline because I create/post roms and know how significant it is to do. It is a tremendous amount of work that most will never know about. Hence, why so many folks keep asking for custom roms that they "could" do themselves but are too "whatever" to do so. If it was easy and quick, everyone would do it. But, I also know that he and I (and others) can do it because of the help/guidance we got from smozoma, king raph, coach mac, slapshot67, etc. I also know that Chaos is a good guy and always helps folks out and does a lot of work with retroarch instructions on this site. Extremely valueable! So, it is definitely a bias thing and that's why all four deserve a pat on the back. Now, go take $50 each out of petty cash!

Just give the title to all 4. Each deserves it. I feel a compelling argument can be made for each participant and to be honest, half of the people here wouldn't get those arguments if you don't know the person and/or, don't understand (or care about) the why. For example, what JKline does is extremely time-consuming and generous. Does that mean he deserves it over the others, maybe... maybe not. This site community owes a debt of gratitude to Chaos for a multitude of reasons as we don't always see what he does behind the scenes. Anyone who has ever edited and produced a rom owes a debt of gratitude to smozoma for problem-solving and sharing his wealth of technical knowledge. Dan helps a lot of folks with on-boarding for league play (a popular request) and FB questions. Each, does their part for free. Each doesn't complain and gives of themselves. How does one determine which is most valued? Eye of the beholder. (in an Oprah voice) "You get Bud of the Year...and you get Bud of the Year...and you get Bud of the Year..."

No it does not. The tool will calculate how many players are on the roster.

Ok, gotta keep it real here: 1. Halifax should be Bud of the Year. (But I know he doesn't include himself in the running. Which just goes to show why he should be bud of the year! Never mind that, Bud of the Decade!) That aside, I would have to say: 2. Chaos should be Bud of the Year. If didn't have his finger in every pie here, well, it would be like the NHL94 community here hits an iceberg and the whole thing goes under, quickly! But he has won it 2 years straight. So: 3. I am voting for @danTML7! His Twitch streams and personality are really helping the community in much needed way, at a much needed time, with the influx of new people. @Jkline3 and @smozoma are worthy candidates as well, of course. Now that I think on it, we are lucky to have so many good Buds in this community, at the moment! In fact, the "Good Apple" to "Bad Apple" ratio might be at an all time high right now, heh!

Remaining Items to complete the 2021 version Rosters - 15% completed this morning. Logos - A small change to a few teams + cleanup. Jerseys - Revamped Menus and backgrounds will be colored to gold and purple to honor Kobe.
