SNES - World Cup '96 ROM

[kidswasted]

Hey Everyone,

I decided to make a World Cup '96 ROM containing the 8 teams who played(CAN, CZE, FIN, GER, RUS, SLO, SWE, and USA). These teams replace STL through ASW but the jerseys and banner colors are updated. The attributes for NHL players come straight from NHL 97. All others I used my best judgement based on WC statistics. I didn't bother to check for non-NHL player weights, #'s, or handedness. Those guys are mostly bench players anyways. I included Pavel Bure on RUS who was injured for the real-life tournament. Even though goalies don't matter in SNES I included Hasek on CZE who declined to play.

I implemented @McMarkis goalie pull hack(press L+R buttons to pull goalie during live play) as well as 1-minute penalties hack. I also enabled D-control to be on as default. Every team is neutralized, as far as home/away/pp/pk, just like SDL.

In order to fit the number of players on each team I had to trim first names to a first initial. Therefore, the player cards could not match up. I still ran the player card updater so at least everyone is one of the stock images instead of an incorrect NHL player. Center ice logos were also updated to the all-star team NHL logo.

I've attached the attributes as well as the ROM. Please let me know if you run into any issues while playing the ROM. Enjoy!

Wow, this sounds like an incredibly detailed and thoughtful customization of the World Cup '96 ROM! I appreciate the effort you've put into updating the teams, attributes, and implementing various hacks to enhance gameplay.
