TSB Stat Extractor
By jstoutWHAT THE TSB STAT EXTRACTOR DOES
The TSB Stat Extractor is an application that is designed to extract statistical
data from a saved state file (.st?) from Nesticle, Nestopia, or VirtuaNES for 2 teams
that just played a game on Tecmo Super Bowl. Saved State Files must be taken at the
blue colored “Tecmo Sports News” screen that pops up after each game and lists the
passing, rushing, and receiving leaders for the game. The statistical output from
this program includes data for every player (passing, rushing, receiving, sacks,
interceptions, place kicking, and punting) along with Team Data (Points for, Points
Against, Rushing Yards For, Rushing Yards Against, Passing Yards For, Passing Yards
Against) for the two teams that just played. This data is output into 2 text files,
one containing player data and the other containing team data. The data in these
files is designed to be read into a database for leagues with automated stats
systems and is not very easily read by human eyes.INSTALLATION

TSBStatExtractor.exe to a directory on your machine. This is all that is
required for installation.DEINSTALLATION
To remove the program, just delete the file named TSBStatExtractor.exe from
your machine.USAGE NOTES
