Last night I fixed the Stanley Cup image problem on the playoff tree. The cup doesn't rotate anymore, it's now a static image. Well technically, it's still rotating 5 images, but the 5 images are all the same! So I reduced the size of the cup from 612 tiles to 124, saving a huge amount of space and graphic memory. The graphic memory was the cause of my issue after I expanded the banner image for the extra teams. So this is now my current working ROM. All the graphic hacks are done (I think) and the ROM is expanded to 34 teams that can be used in exhibition play. NOW, my next task is to start tackling the season data, trade players, etc. Current ROM: NHL95_34TM_beta_05c.bin

Amazing stuff man. 15 years since I originally hacked and updated this. Great seeing it get this incredible love shown to it. All the best.

I've been to Portugal twice. I don't think you realize how pale I am.

Here is a ROM designed to play by yourself. It is Coach Mac's '87 ROM as a base. Choose from 4 weak teams (4th or 5th place in their division that year): LA, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, or Quebec. All other teams are loaded with players rated 100-120. No matter which of these 4 teams you choose for playoffs, your 15 opponents will all be the loaded teams. Also, your goalie on these 4 teams has been made very weak for more fun. I am a decent player (in my own mind), and I find this ROM a good challenge for solo play. This ROM could be even better if the extra teams in the 30 team ROM were used to give me more options beyond these 4. I imagine a ROM with 15 loaded teams for playoff opponents and 15 weak teams for playing options, but this adjustment is beyond me. 87 Forever NHL.bin

@CoachMac, those are friggin' amazing. Can't wait to hang out with you all Sat!

These guys (as well as a few other surprises) will be making the trip to Green Bay with me. I have been working on these and a couple other projects since my leagues fell apart.

That's awesome! I didn't find any pointer table length, so I guess as soon as you add teams and change the selectable teams value, it will look for the next pointer? On the version I was working on, the game got messed up when I got to team 29 and 30, so it wasn't as straightforward as adding team data and pointers for me. Unless I messed something up, I'll have to take another look.

I'll come back if you come back. YEEEEEEEEE
