Fifa 19 Hacks

[Alysa Guillama]

Istarted the last year a hack of FIFA Soccer 95, that I'm calling FIFA Soccer 2020 because I am updating to 2019-2020 season.

The first idea was just an update of players, teams, first and second kits, etc. After long time working and analyzing the rom I had more interest in doing something more serious, so I went further, such as insert new audios to the game, music, add new graphics, design banners, add a new intro or header to the game. I can say I am in an intermediate level.

After this introduction I am going to explain what I would like to correct.

I did a new intro for the game. Instead of showing the classical EA Sports screen, an audio saying "TA Sports - FIFA Soccer 2020" sounds, and after that, the following instruction is a screen of "TA Sports."

Well, the problem is just there: What I want is the logo with the correspondent colors, but no showing the graphics of the colors.

What I did for the intro (in Hex):

I know that there is an error in the instructions given in the last part, after the third part logo.

Anybody who has notions of Assembly (Motorola 68000), what would the correct instructions be in order to get an intro like the first pic?

Thank you so much in advance.

PS: I got some info in this forum (specially from Wboy to start with hacking EA Sports videogames -how to eliminate the checksum routine-), so I credited this forum in this game that is on the point to finish.

Im part of the project too. We're doing a hard work on this one, as we did on Super Monaco GP before. T.A. Marcos first knew me here when I'd discovered the exclamation+3 letter codes for all shirt colors on Fifa 95 -hacks-of-non-nhl-games/&do=findComment&comment=173449 , so my Fifa World Cup Russia 18 evolved into this much larger project , I need to thank T.A. Marcos to be so compromised with this, different from some guys on A GC Janco Tianno that never did anything to help the older one.

Additionally to T.A. Marcos request, to delete those annoying color interference on the logo, we need to ask you, if there's some way to put my voice in the start merged with the Logo graphics (on the video, the old graphic, starting at 0:01)

And, if not so much...lol... there is any way to add a portion (copy the section) of another game into other (insert)? Let me explain, there is a Fifa International Soccer (94) hacked to Fifa South Africa 2010 with an awesome intro with graphics and sounds....

Also, what modifications were made to Super Monaco GP? I loved that game, but once you've learned how to win, it's too easy (I remember purposely losing to get the worst car, then challenging the top team on Australia, winning, and getting promoted straight to like the 3rd car).

I don't want to be misunderstood. I said I had added/inserted new music, but no modifying the music of the menus.

Analyzing the ROM what I got were just the samples (drums, effects, riffs) of the music. What I think is every single song is not inserted as a *.wav file or any other format. It is sequenced with instructions given using the appropriate samples in its right time and on its right channel.

So, knowing the YM2612 is going to play a worse quality that I inserted the idea was as follows:

Insert a better quality audio, 16600hz or 22050hz. The inconvenience here is you will need more space in the hex.

Insert the same quality 11025hz but modifying the tempo to a faster tempo and high notes. No worries here because the Sega Genesis sound driver play it deeper and slower. So here you can play with the tempos and the pitch.

Then, save your audio as a wav or bin file. Go to hex, open that file and start copying from the first 00 after the word "data". That's the real information, what you get before data is the header of the audio file and it is not needed.

For the title screen - my guess is that you didn't change the header information of the picture to the new size. So what is happening is, I think, it's grabbing the color palette tile as your final repeatable tile.

Hi kingraph,

Thanks for you reply.

Definitely yes, it is grabbing the color palette also. That's the point.

I moved the title screen to a new empty part starting from 00 1F EC 00, and I chosed the original colors address for EA Sports (00 10 61 7C)

All these instructions I made them just above of 00 06 00 00, where there is a big empty area.

I am gonna share what I have done until now with you in a PM.

Thanks for your help

As T.A. Marcos said, Super Monaco GP I'd started with color changes and simple texts , with a huge search over internet, Id find how to mess with the yellow letters, but the goal I wanted to do was to change Driver's pics with real ones, Id all the tools for that and all the process, but was doing an error when on Tile Editor, not respecting tile position.... So T.A. Marcos with the tools I gave him, could realize how to.... and... voil ....

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know, I solved the issue, rewriting it again and keeping an eye on some values that I didn't check before.

Now the intro is as I wish.

Thanks for the cooperation.

Hello FIFA legends, thank you so much for the amazing work you're doing. I had no idea these audio files were so big, Is there a way to get around it, like take a sound and code for that sound to repeat until the desired song is made? some of the songs you have like ohohohohohoh, could you repeat that string to make a smaller code size in hex?

That repeating sounds like crowd chants are programmed. It is possible to insert a sound to be repeatead as much as you can, but what is the point of that? There is no need to enlarge a rom for it, that's why that is programmed.

Gretzky was correct. It is that one. Hack was "officially" released the 30th of June, one month ago.

That's just the patch.

You are going to need Lunar IPS tool and the original FIFA Soccer 95 rom to convert into a binary ROM file.

Best,

Hi good day. Please I would like to know how the location of the tile maps is in a ROM and thus change them for others since I am trying to recover a game that was sold in my country Argentina that when the ROM is dumped, it runs correctly but with the graphics changed. This is a JLeague Hack but with the national teams. I'm from making hack games and I upload them to my sharing site but I only edited the unzipped sprites and I use an exagesimal editor to make them but I never had the need to locate the sprites and place them in another part of the rom. Another thing that I would like to know is how the roms are expanded since one of my theories is that the game is not reading the compressed graphics and only loads those added by the author of the rom and in that case I will have to add them but without compressing. Cordial greetings and I hope you can guide me. thanks.

TA_Marcos_Translations ol, gostaria de colocar os nomes reais dos jogadores no FIFA 95 mas com o editor hexadecimal sempre da erro, como vc fez para alterar os nomes dos jogadores e dos times?

I just had the similar reply (see below). They're obviously aware of the issue and have decided this is how they deal with it for now. I feel that this issue is bigger than "it's just a thing you can't stop and doesn't matter - get Google to disavow them..."

Thank you for reaching out to us. My name is XXXX and I am here to assist you today.

I understand there are some unauthorised activity initiated in your store and I would be more then happy to resolve this issue for you.

This search term is usually distinct from typical searches on the site (such as being in Korean on an American shop, and including a domain) and may span up to thousands of these kinds of backlinks. It can be a bit scary for the merchant but there are no real security concerns here.

The technical term of what has happened is called Spam Backlinks. I get that this is not exactly the most pleasant thing to have so I have attached a link here on how you can potentially stop it from happening.

Option 2: "Code" it away

Using your SEO reporting software (Which in your case is Google Search Console) you can collect all the bad backlinks into a .txt file and report them via Google's Disavow Tool. Information on the structure can be found in their help doc here. Note that the backlinks to list will be the referral site address rather than their search term URL.

This is an advanced feature and should only be used with caution. If used incorrectly, this feature can potentially harm your site's performance in Google's search results. We recommend that you only disavow backlinks if you believe that there are a considerable number of spammy, artificial, or low-quality links pointing to your site, and if you are confident that the links are causing issues for you.

Have you had someone do some work on your store in the past? With that said, based on the URL it looks like that link was created in part by using the 'Vendor' field to create a URL based on Fifa coins.
