| Hello, so I've been looking into Sega Genesis ROMs for some time, for personal reasons. I've got a dumper machine and I've been trying it out for a bit, among other ideas that I have. So growing up I've been playing Sega's Football Italia '90 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and been chasing up what the story and history of the game, which I was surprised to find. Anyways, I've been rom hacking for a bit and for the Sega Genesis, trying to understand what's going on, I've got used too. So I wouldn't have to ask around how Sega Genesis handle their data and etc. So, I've with Sega Genesis games, there's a chuck of data that doesn't get tapped or is tough to open or modify. These aren't part of the tile set like games found for NES. Sega labels them as patterns. These however can be opened in the Gens emulator, to view the data which are used as character sprites and etc, all presentable and in their color palette. So I had taken a look at Football Italia 90/World Championship Soccer, just to have a look and I found tiles that I never seen before. ![]() So I was taking a good look and apparently, I've discovered that the game still holds data that never made it into the game. During the actual FIFA World Cup 90, they had billboards and Sega decided to model and add billboards onto the football pitch in the game but it seems that many of the billboard decorations went unused but somehow they are still in the game data. ![]() You notice the side billboards made it into the game: ![]() So I've pieced together some of the boards to find out what was said. It is clear they parody actual companies like Coca Cola (spelled Coco Cola), Camon for Canon prints. Fuji Film getting parodied. The current billboards that made it into the game, "Gillett" and "Bridgetone" you notice how they render them bit by bit, to give an idea how they have been spilt up and placed into the game memory. ![]() No idea if they made it into the game and Sega decided to just crop the tops and bottoms off because I believe this is where the billboards/banner boards were meant to go and maybe they were cut from the game. ![]() The adverts were clearly taken from the adverts seen at major football events, as seen here in a World Cup 90s even England vs Belguim. I was able (and lucky enough) to get a DVD with England football events during the 90s, as they had two features matches from the World Cup 90 which are hard to get and even lucky because other DVDs featureing the events cost a lot. ![]() You could barely see the Fuji Film sign on the left. You notice the Gillette sign in the match that made it into the game as Gillett. There was also a Coca Cola sign in the match, not in that screen shot but in the match. I noticed it not on the wiki page, so maybe there's room to add that in? https://tcrf.net/World_Championship_Soccer_(Genesis) "GOAH!!!", hehe, I love it. I'll try to get all the boards together and maybe construct how it may look like and also pair the boards together wtih the boards found in the actual event as I have material for that. Loads of other boards to put together and pair. Phillps and the others. Should have seven or eight in total. I hope this help and I'm not jumping into anything. ![]() |
