The Ultimate Guide to PES 2010 Scoreboards: How to Install, Customize, and Relive the Golden Era
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (PES 2010) holds a special place in the hearts of football gaming veterans. Released in the fall of 2009, it bridged the gap between the classic “old-gen” gameplay of the PlayStation 2 era and the more complex mechanics of modern titles. However, for the dedicated PC modding community, one of the most visually impactful elements of the game wasn’t the player faces or stadiums—it was the PES 2010 scoreboard.
In the world of sports gaming mods, the scoreboard (or HUD) is the element you look at most. It tells you the time, the score, and the match status. For PES 2010, changing the default Konami scoreboard to a realistic, TV-style broadcast package is considered the gold standard of cosmetic modding.
This article will dive deep into everything you need to know about the PES 2010 scoreboard: why it matters, where to find the best ones, how to install them manually, and how to troubleshoot common issues.
Part 9: Creating Your Own PES 2010 Scoreboard
Feeling creative? You can make your own PES 2010 scoreboard from scratch.
You’ll need:
- Photoshop or GIMP
- GGS (Game Graphic Studio)
- A hex editor (HxD)
Steps:
- Extract the default
unnamed_35.bin using GGS.
- Open the embedded texture (usually a 512x128 or 1024x256 PNG). You’ll see Konami’s design.
- Design your own layout over it. Keep the transparency channels (alpha layers) for the glass effects.
- Re-import your new texture into the
.bin file.
- Test in-game. Adjust positions using hex editing (look for coordinates like
00 00 80 3F which represent floating-point screen positions).
It sounds daunting, but many beginners started exactly this way. The PES 2010 scoreboard community was one of the most welcoming in modding history.
Part 8: Where to Find PES 2010 Scoreboards in 2024?
The original PES modding forums (like Evo-Web, PES-Patch, and GamingAccess) have mostly gone silent. However, the archives are still alive. Here are the best places to find legacy PES 2010 scoreboard files:
- PES-Patch.com (Search for "PES 2010 scoreboard" – many downloads still work via MediaFire or FileFront archives).
- Evo-Web.co.uk (Check the "PES 2010 Editing" subforum. Old threads from 2010-2012 contain direct links).
- YouTube – Many modders posted "PES 2010 scoreboard download" videos with links in the description. Search for "PES 2010 Sky Sports HD scoreboard download".
- Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) – If a link is dead, paste it into archive.org. Years of modding history are preserved there.
For non-PC players (PS3, Xbox 360), modifying the scoreboard requires a JTAG/RGH console and replacing files inside the game’s ISO. It’s much riskier, but the same .bin files work in principle.
