FFPW - 2016 - 1.0 release

Download here!

It's only been a few months since my last past but I've been slowly chipping away at an update for a while. For a full detailed release history, check out my previous posts.

FFPW - 2016 - 1.0
- Translated all previous text in a clean ROM
- Transferred translated images
- Costume updates for some wrestlers
- Couple of graphical fixes (Darkside Hayabusa head loads correctly now)

Pre-2016
- MOR Translated
- Menus and interfaces translated for various modes
- Original colours given to all costumes
- New costumes added for almost every wrestler

Future Updates
- Fix images - I did them in Paint years ago with the plan to do a decent job at some point.
- Costumes and updating - New costumes and rearranging the costume order for the defaults
- Improve MOR translations - There was a bit of poetic licence used with parts of the translation that I would like to smarten up
- I'm adding the finishing touches to the 1989 - 1996 save file. Hopefully news soon!
- Training mode translation - It's been on the list for years. I'll do it eventually

Any feedback, advice, suggested fixes/translations, new costumes or absolutely anything would be very much appreciated!

Thank you

I'm currently finishing off a tidy up of edit mode for the patch and spent some time on the music section. Here's what I have (Please feel free to message if you think I have something wrong).

1. No Fear theme
2. Steve Austin 'Glass Shatters' theme
3. Fort Battle from the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack (Rickson Gracie) but it could just as easily be Goldberg's theme.
4. Hiroshi Tanahashi's 'Strange' theme
5. Akira Taue's 'Eclipse' theme.
6. Inoki 'Bom-Ba-Ye' theme
7. Hiroyoshi Tenzan's theme
8. Genichiro Tenryu's 'Thunder Storm' theme
9. Masahiro Chono's 'Hard Crush' or 'Main Eventer' theme

As an added bonus, the Rolling Up match music is also Dory Funk's 'Spinning Toe Hold' theme. Don't worry, I've edited Dory so this plays as his theme now!

FFPW - ECW Returns

I've been a roll tonight so I'm going to keep going.

This scenario is aptly named ECW Returns. It does the following:

• Replaces FMW with ECW
• Puts FMW roster into the Japanese freelance pool
• Add Terry Funk, Sabu, RVD, Mike Awesome, Masato Tanaka, Chris Benoit and the Dudley Boys to the ECW roster (Dudley Boys must be unlocked by scouting or cheat code)
• Terry Funk is the heavyweight champion
• Dudley Boys are tag champions
• New logo and start location for ECW and changed a few popularity parameters to fit

FFPW - Death of Misawa

I started work on this in December last year and have finally finished it. Granted I have done nothing with this between December and today, but I think it's pretty complete. MOR is updated with a new scenario that follows from the death of Mitsuharu Misawa and how the Fire Pro-verse has gone from there. NJPW, WWE and UFC are the only promotions doing well, the rest are declining with small rosters. I've not included a save for this scenario. There are more details on FPWArena  and you can download the IPS here.

Final Fire Pro Complete - Mixed Martial Arts

Final Fire Pro Complete - Change of direction

I've spent the last few days thinking about this project. I make a save for every game/group of games and I have Super Tiger crop up in most of them I've put together. Why? So I'm consistent? So I have every wrestler from that group on one save? 


Well my change in direction is having a save per style or promotion. The reasons:

• Fewer save packs if I stick multiple style/promotions together
• No repetitiveness in saves e.g. Super Tiger, Enson Inoue cropping up in every save
• More freedom for extras.

Today I've been reorgnaising the MMA/Worked MMA save. I've completed most of them from the PCe games right through to 6MS and G. I've also thrown in a few extras from various places:

1. Super Tiger
2. Dick Vrij
3. Chris Dolman
4. Yuko Miyato
5. Masaaki Satake
6. Andy Hug
7. Maurice Smith
8. Manabu Yamada
9. Randy Couture
10. Valentijn Overeem
11. Akira Shoji
12. Caol Uno
13. Katsumi Usuda
14. Dan Severn
15. Enson Inoue
16. Rumina Sato
17. Brian Johnston
18. Hans Nymnas
19. Guy Mezger
20. Kenichi Yamamoto
21. Tony Halme
22. Mike Bernardo
23. Takeshi Ono
24. Brock Lesnar (MMA)
25. Wataru Sakata
26. Hidehiko Yoshida
27. Bob Sapp
28. Ryushi Yanagisawa*
29. Katsuyori Shibata*
30. Matt Ghaffari
31. Dan Bobbish*
32. Fedor Emelienen*
33. Kevin Randleman*
34. Quinton Jackson*
35. Musashi*
36. Katsuhiko Ogasawara*
37. Willie Williams
38. Tatsuo Nakano
39. Rocky Balboa
40. Batman
41. Robin
42. Terrible Ted

* To Complete

So that is MMA-style fighters from PCe, SNES, FPG, 6MS, FPD, Official Edit, FPZ and FPR, plus some of the default wrestlers from SFPWS&X giving a total of 42. I've also added in Brock Lesnar from a previous save I created. I'm off work for the next few weeks now, so I'm hoping to have this save finished soon and some others up ASAP.


Thank you too for the congratulatory comment last post :)

FFP Complete: Fire Pro G and 6 Man Scramble

I've spent a little time over this weekend completing the FPG and 6MS save. So far I've completed:

These do include logic and move sets on their most recent appearance in the Fire Proverse. I'm still working on Funaki, MEN'S Teioh, Kenichi Yamamoto, Tony Halme, Psicosis, Konnan, Animal Hamaguchi, Big Titan, Headhunter A, Headhunter B, Mike Bernado and Takeshi Ono as well as copying others from the SNES, Portable and Official Edits packs.

Another thought that jumped in to my head the other day was "Why are there so many edit slot empty at the end?". My plan with creating these saves was that it would be impossible to fit every edit in to one save, but now I have lots of saves with 20+ edits. So I've also decided I will add extra edits from each collection of games through the presets. It may add a little time on to creating each pack but I think it'll make the whole project more worthwhile. 

In other news, I'm still playing Heroes of Ruin on 3DS. I've finally got around to maxing my main characters level so I'm just grinding away on the daily and weekly challenges. If anyone wants to join me, now the game is out in the states, my 3DS friend code is 0087-2886-9002 and my name is "Sam". Just send me your friend code and name via a PM, e-mail or comment so I can add you.

I can't remember announcing it but I've also completed my PGCE (Professional Graduates Certificate in Education) so after graduation I will be a fully qualified lecturer.

New Logos and Additional Name Fixes

Happy Spring Bank Holiday!

A couple of updates on both patches

Download everything here!

Translation - 04.06.2012

A few minor name changes and fixes for the Fire Pro names. Nothing exciting but should tidy the whole lot up a bit more.

Full Patch - 04.06.2012

I've replaced the logos for WPA and AWG with their counterparts from Fire Pro Wrestling A (WFW and WWC). Have a look!

I've also included a "WFW & WWC" patch that will just change the logos in case you want to use it with the translation patch. If you're doing this just remember to apply the translation patch and then the logo one.

Coming Soon...

Currently I have a few costumes and recolours to work on. I should have more stuff up soon!

Re-Upped Patch and Small Update

Evening all. 
It's been a few months so I thought I'd update (Plus I had a comment so...).


Anyway, most importantly a link to the patch for non-FPC'ers. I've only included the complete patch (Translation, Costumes, other updates etc.) and it's available from:


FFPW - Patch 18 December 2011


I've also included the save containing wrestlers from every portable FPW game. Use it if you fancy!


In terms of updates, I've not got much to report but I do want to organise and update costumes and of course the save so that it reflects 2012.


As always I would love feedback/suggestions. Just leave them in the comments!


I've not really made much progress with the saves that I haven't already shared. I've been stuck to the 3DS (Up for Friend Code exchange if anyone else plays it!).

CRITICAL'd

This weekend I've just completed fixing the "Press Slam" animation glitch. I had to start with a clean ROM, replace all of the wrestler, MOR, translation data and any images, making sure to update the pointers. The file size has returned to it's full 16Mb so you may need a clear ROM to run the newest patch when I release it.
I'm still doing a bit of play testing. I'm hoping to find the last Japanese-text screens and translate those. Screenshots to come!
