The Dopefish

I’m on my phone so I’m having a hard time looking for it, but has anyone done an NHL ‘94 ROM edit themed around the All Star Game? Maybe each team can be a different year in history, or each game’s winner? It would be fun to see the jerseys, all those bright colors!

Counterpoint: that music is not loud enough!

Hey I might not be the first one to notice this but the filename on the attachment in the OP says "NHL 94...2023" but obviously when the files are extracted it's 2024. Just thought I'd save someone the confusion sometime down the line!

Sold!

What would it take to convince you (as a Leafs fan) to take Jake Guentzel off our hands for William Nylander?

Incredible work as always @AdamCatalyst! I'm looking forward to winning the Cup with the Penguins again this year! (Even if they aren't going to in real life...)

I love this concept! I did basically the same thing with Super Mega Baseball 2 (best players from 1994 to 2019) but my save got corrupted. I'm surprised that the Thrashers didn't get any representation with the Jets...surely Ilya Kovalchuk was good enough to qualify?

Of the items that AndrewB mentioned that I like and are doable (which there are too few of, unfortunately), this is the one that has actually irked me for years. It would take a fair amount of artistry but all of the center-ice logos should be turned 90 degrees.

The only decompile projects I've seen are the ones you've mentioned, and none of them have been Sega games. I would think that if anyone had seriously tried they would have done so first on Sonic 1, as a proof of concept principally but to spearhead the movement on Genesis games. Coincidentally that doesn't mean it couldn't be tried on the SNES version, which seems to be where the majority of the effort is being placed.

It is hilarious to fly up and down the ice and blast 150mph slapshots into the goal from the face-off dots in the neutral zone

I LOVE THIS PATCH Seriously, I hope this could be used in conjunction with all future NHL '94 (and other) mods. Being able to see more of the ice is a game-changer!

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to

That did the trick! Thanks for the tip!

Yay! Looking forward to it!

You know, I loved NHL '94 for the Genesis but I never really got the feel for the SNES version despite the fact that I owned an SNES. And I downloaded this thinking it was for the Genesis but I quickly came to realize that they were SNES ROMs. Nevertheless, I gave the first one (NHL Hockey) a spin and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the effort!

FYI there's a typo in the Pause menu: "Reply" instead of "Replay"

LOL sorry! I didn't mean to offend anyone! I prefer the more arcade-y nature of naples' version. Nevertheless I do play yours and AdamCatalyst's quite often as well, and I appreciate the work all of you do.

Aww, yours was my favorite version

Would probably work well today with some modest skill with a spreadsheet program!

What a tome! Perusing the spreadsheet I found a couple notes so far: Mario Lemieux did play in 2006 as well; Taylor Hall shows up as playing in 1986, then not again until 2011.

Well, in any event I sent you a PM with my thoughts, if you'd indulge me

I agree that the colors in 5.1 look more accurate, and I like them more than 5.0. I think in many cases the colors are legacy holdovers from previous iterations and haven't been updated as the team's have changed their uniforms. I do feel like there could be an effort made to vary the banners a little more. For example, there's a lot of black-top/color-bottom styles; in fact I see none here that are the reverse (color-top/black-bottom) and I feel like Dallas and Chicago both could go that route. To me it would make sense if those banners reflected the sweater (top) and pants (bottom) colors of the "home" (color) jersey, but I see a few teams already in my research where black is the color for both the sweater and pants, so that should be considered as well. I just feel like the banners need a bit more personality and variation. If it were me I would simply go through each team's Wikipedia article and pick the first two colors for each team and try to match both the color and order.

This might be a question that is pretty easy to those who are in the know, but: the Sharks' teal can be made on the jerseys, but not on the banner? What gives?

Thanks as always for the work! As always, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Penguins feel this time around! Couple of things: it's Anthony, not Anthoney Angello, and I'd replace Taylor Fedun with Pierre-Olivier Joseph.

I should say that I particularly like the speedier gameplay of EA Hockey as compared to later entries in the series. I'm playing on OpenEmu on my MacBook so I can't do the NTSC/PAL trick with, say, NHL Hockey, to replicate the experience. It's quite a change of pace!
