[Guide] Modding, Editing, and Porting PSP & PS2 NCAA

Hmm... I would have to simulate a season and look into that. I'm surprised you're having these issues to be honest. That bug, at first glance, doesnt seem like it would correlate to a roster unless I really messed something up. But I'll see if I can look into that tomorrow. I'll start running a season simulation now but I may pass out before it gets to free agency. This is happening during restricted free agency period?

Afterwards, during the player resigning period. I'll check it again in later on. Maybe I have to manually resign players for all of the teams?

I just ran through an entire season, then in offseason owner screen, I changed Ownership to just the Seahawks. Went through restricted free agency, and re-signed my own guys and now at the Draft prep screen. No crashes or issues.

Did you import a draft class that was user made? That could cause issues if it wasnt loaded properly. I've had that happen before on PSP - and this happened when it was determining pre-draft projections.

Yeah I imported a draft class.

Edit: I just did another run, with a backup save without importing a draft class. Still crashes right after it processes the Vikings.

Can you post/send the save, preferably before the period it crashes?

Sure. Here you go.

Here's my conference Realignment trial.

If you are interested, download the zip.

In the zip will be a bunch of csv files, and a spreadsheet. It also includes an already modded save for NCAA PSP 07. It is unencrypted so you'll need to use PPSSPP to play it and/or save it encrypted.

To mod your own NCAA 06 or NCAA 07 save, download Madden DB Editor 3.0.

Open your save file in DB Editor and for import the csvs into the following tables in your save:
BOWL
CONF
DIVI
STTM
SCHD

Then you need to open up the TEAM table in the editor.
Also open up either STTM.csv or the excel spreadsheet and go to the STTM page. Now you have to manually edit the teams database CGID/DGIDs to move teams around. If you look at the Excel version, it's color coded and sorted already to what it should be. So just look for the red numbers to modify.

Unfortunately, we can't import the csv to this particular table - it crashes.

Anyway, let me know what you think!


Update: Schedule file is messed up. Need to fix.

Sure. Here you go.

I just tried it out, and i went through the restricted and re-signing free agents period without a hitch.

Update on the realignment file. The schedule file is wrong. need to fix it.

[Brock]

Re: [Guide] Modding, Editing, and Porting PSP & PS2 NCAA

Not sure why I'm having this issue, if you can do it perfectly, but I'm going to test another roster/franchise.

Also, can the realignment be applied to an already established dynasty?

Yea I'm not sure what's going on with your game. Bad disc image or settings are wrong?

The realignment can be applied a dynasty sure. I imagine you'd want to do it during the off-season though. The schedule file is messed up in the zip i attached earlier. I am going to see if I can fix it. It was suppose to be a game generated schedule but for some reason it loaded with the first year schedule and all game scores loaded in it already. Not sure how that happened... you can also just play the first year with the regular schedule and the game will correct schedule the following year.

Re: [Guide] Modding, Editing, and Porting PSP & PS2 NCAA

New file attached. This time no schedule file for now. I'll see if I can create a schedule that takes into account the re-alignment. If not, the game will generate a schedule before the start of the following season. Also updated the PAC-12 Championship to the Rose Bowl. The Big Ten one still remains at Ford Field, thats closed to correct (there's no RCA Dome or whatever it's called now in Indy in the game).

Nice I see you were able to make an separate national title game.

I hope so. I havent tested it on PS2 yet, and NCAA 06, i didnt realize until just now that it didnt have a game scheduled for that. I'll have to test it out later.

Ok I downloaded a roster from gamefaqs and played though a season, and everything went perfect, I even imported my draft class. So, it's possibly my settings, with your franchise file?

I had put all of the management to cpu for all coaches, including Jon Rivera, before I went to the owner mode. I also changed ownership during that time.

Ok so this could be a firmware issue. I get crashes/frozen game when I use my PS2 Slim 75001 model (actual console). I was using 70012 and just tried 77001 firmwares on emulator and they work fine.
