Madden 09: 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition

[clockwise]

Don't keep up with Madden games at all.. Last one I bought was for the PC in 2000 or 2001 I think..
I was looking to see if there's any other forums dedicated to classic Madden (not a one, that I could find) and found out that Madden 09: The 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition HAS an exclusive version of Madden '93.

Google'n lead me to the Wikipage for NFL 09. The page says there are updated rosters and teams!

The game must be emulated with Gens or Kega, if not specifically then it's played with another emulator... I'd bet money on it because in NHL '06 there was a version of NHL'94 with redacted player names and logos.. They were all Joe-Bob generic dudes.. EA contacted the developer of Gens so they could use his emulator..

Incidentally, Swos (NHL94 forum member) ripped the iso from NHL 06, extracted the nhl94.bin and it worked in Gens.

This makes me wonder if I should try to nab it on ebay for the forum here and try to extract the .bin from the iso. I'd love to play it with updated rosters (outdated now).

So has anyone here played it? I'll look around and see if I can get it on the cheap.

That sounds interesting. What I can tell you about the previous "madden93" versions included on previous versions of Madden PSX x2 and once on N64, is that the "updated madden93" versions were all just teams with updated uniforms basically.

I started porting them over to Madden93 by cutting and pasting, and then I noticed the ratings were just random or thrown in there. Like a team with a super fast WR, would have all their WR's at 9 speeds, and so on, just a waste of time to even bother with.

However, maybe this time the players have somewhat decent ratings that someone actually spent a little bit of time to do. Even if it is outdated, it would still be interesting. Every new NHL and Madden is going to be outdated in a year anyway

Wasn't aware of those previous Madden 93 updates.. It would be disappointing if they used the same method for a 20th anniversary edition, but I wouldn't put anything past EA.

Going to try and find some Madden heads and see if they can tell me anything about it.. But I'm probably still going to pick it up. I'll report back when I get it.

I have the file from the anniversary collection, if anybody wants to try and make it run in an emulator, let me know and i will email it to you.

If you are able to hack roms Chuck, you all you have to do is look for the team data and cut and paste into a Madden 93 rom (or Madden92).

team data I am able to do, but trying to extract the full game with updated banners and teams to work in an emulator is beyond my capabilities I think.
