  1. 6-button Controller Round-up

    in Hardware

    Posted

    ..came back to look and see if I had reviewed the 8bitdo M30 (I had) as well as to update a couple things.

    I purchased a Retro-bit 8-button arcade pad, which looks/feels like a standard 6-button sega controller but comes with two shoulder buttons. Played great for a time, but then the d-pad snapped. Retro-bit did send me the parts to fix it - but shortly thereafter it started to breakdown in other ways. 

    The M30 2.4 also stopped being recognized by Windows. The weirdest thing, and best I could tell it has something to do with the USB charging cable and/or something on the PCB.

    I bought another M30 recently - opting this time for the bluetooth model. I tore the other one apart and realized that the rubber pads inside were identical to the sega originals.

    Long story long - 8bitdo must make replacement pads, so had a look on their site. They are not listed specifically, but they do sell conductive pads for their SNES controller. Found something even better IMO...

    8bitdo sells mod kits for your original SEGA/SATURN/NES/SNES/PS1 controllers (apparently since 2019) that will make them rechargeable bluetooth controllers. Not only that, but because they will require USB charging - they can also function as USB controllers. For $25 it seems like a pretty small investment.

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. Superstar Hockey (Android/IOS)

    in Post '98 Titles & Other Hockey Titles

    Posted

    This has been a fun little game on my phone. Build your team and play matches to rank up in divisions. 

    Standard coins/gems reward system with and option to watch ads double/triple the reward.

    Gameplay is fast with short periods, and one finger controls for skating/passig/shooting - and it even has a one-timer.

    I even took it a step further and installed an Android emulator in order to play it on my PC with a gamepad.

     

  8. Who have you met from the NHL over the years?

    Posted · Edited by jer_33

    Don't see it mentioned here, and wasn't really documented on the Ko94 site, or in McMikey's Documentary but on the day of the original Ko94 tourney in Toronto (Sept 12, 2015) Mats Sundin had his Legends Row statue revealed right outside the window or RealSports where we were playing.

    I can't find a good picture/video of the seated crowd for his speech, but did find a video of his Legends Row reveal. I do know that Shanahan and Domi were there, and have to think that a few of the others that still live in the area (CuJo, Clarke and Tucker) were probably in attendance. 

    I had obviously been eliminated from the tourney and just happened to notice the crowd outside the window, but the ceremony was private and gated off. I was able to peel the curtain back on the window and watch the whole thing. It was a pretty special moment for a lifelong Leafs fan.

  13. John McIntyre - The Man NHL '94 Forgot

    BORGEN: I produced an intermission feature for a Kings game about hockey video games during the 1991-92 season and arranged to visit EA Sports. I interviewed Michael and shot footage of them working on the next game. I did another feature, where Larry Robinson, Rob Blake, Dave Taylor and John McIntyre played the upcoming game, against each other and the computer. They got into it and had fun.

    JOHN McINTYRE [L.A. Kings center / Special Thanks: NHLPA Hockey ’93]:They brought the game into the dressing room, had some of us play it and wanted our input on it, whether we noticed some things that weren’t very accurate. This was the first video game that I played that wasn’t in an arcade. I seem to remember giving feedback on icing or delayed offside. I know we did chirp a couple of things that weren’t true to life. The hardest part for us was just figuring out how to play it. It took us a while even to do that, let alone for us to figure out what was wrong or abnormal.

  16. Removing weight bug fix question

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    I don't want to assume that you made the mistake, but the Smoz tool is interesting in that you don't actually "open" the program.

    Best option is to put a copy of the rom in the same folder as the tool, and drag it onto the Smoz tool in the same folder. 

    the Smoz tool will then open itself up and start asking you what options to want to add/drop from the rom.

     

    Cheers,

  17. Removing weight bug fix question

    Can you upload it here, or send up a link?

     

    NVM - I think I found it under Coach's "incomplete roms".

    Ran Coach's NHL'87 rom through SMOZROM and double checked that the weight bug was changed in hex.

    Just to note, Coach's rom included the "Blitz" or "Improved Weight-bug fix" which smoz created to give a bonus to guys with a higher checking stat.

    Haven't tested it, but give it a try.

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't know how I would do that. I'm computer illiterate, so it would be a dream to be able to figure out how to play those games. It's taking me a while just to get my brain around the steps to be able to join you guys in some online fun.

    What if I told you , that you could play it from your browser?
