Elsewhere on the forums there is talk that slapshot67 and smozoma have a working 32-team ROM. If I can work with that, Vegas will be in 2018 ROM. If not, I might take out Arizona for Vegas in 2018 ROM. Blasphemer!!! Edited August 1, 2017 by MeatAndPotatoes Stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I've tried this ROM for a day now, it's great. Have you began working on the NHL 18 ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naples39 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Yep, I already have a test version of 2018. 31 teams is a bit of a problem. I still haven't seen the 32-team rom, so I don't know if I'll be able to work with it if/when it's available. If I CAN'T use it, I will release multiple versions of the 2018 rom with and without Vegas. Sorry, someone has to go unless the 32-team rom works!

Thus far I've only added a few I think--Patrick, Hischier, Chabot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1981 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Nice to see the beginning of the 2018 version. I just wanted to mention 1 very minor graphic detail. The Penguins "Pittsburgh" banner color on the main screen is still the 2000s color (beige), but on the pause screen during the game it is the correct (gold) color. Can this be changed to be the gold/black on the main screen? (Instead of beige/black). The logo is good, it's just the banner on the setup screen.

bbb777 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Messed around with the 2018 file last night. Seems to be a bug in the edit lines section for each team, where the game completely freezes up on me. Anyone else experience that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the current WIP the lines are incomplete with null values. If you play with line changes the game will crash. Lines for no-line-change games are set, and can be changed in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 As great as this rom is, the fact that the music is off drives me crazy. So I fixed it. Hope you don't mind Naples. nhl2017deadlinemusic.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you don't mind Naples. nhl2017deadlinemusic.bin YES!!! This is awesome. As I played through all of Naples's deadline ROMs, (yes, I'm a nerd and have played through an entire 7-game playoff run in all of them, current and throwback) this was the ONLY minor thing that bugged me just a little bit. Admittedly, I just saw this and haven't tried it...but if the songs are synced up with the right teams (as much as possible 23 years later) this will be a huge addition, IMO. Hopefully it's possible to have the correct music moving forward? And is there any way you can go back and correct it for his throwback ROMs? Edited August 27, 2017 by brianski71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New teams since 1994 just got the generic music. Yes the music can be corrected in any rom. My Historic roms have correct music.  I will not be correcting it in Naples Roms. I like him, but not that much. Glad you are enjoying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love naples' roms because gameplay is slightly slower which I think makes better and less arcadey. Though I have everyone else's roms too, I just play naples' much more. "When the saints go marching in" for Penguins goals just didn't seem right and now I will always associate that song with Penguins goals....for the near future at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoz, Wboy, and many others have already done all the heavy lifting. Here are 2 links, the first one takes you through everything. The second is for music specifically.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naples39 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Well extra work to fix the organ music is definitely welcome! I try to be pretty completionist in my roms, although the music stuff is about the only thing I notably skip.

It's mostly done, other than getting opening day rosters and lines/numbers when known. Some player rating tweaking and updates as well. DON'T use line changes. They are not completely filled out, and the game will probably crash. DON'T look at player cards for Team 31 (Winnipeg). The game will crash (known bug with 32-team ROM). nhl2018 naples.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seiza616 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have been a long time fan of NHL 94; however, I have yet to try one of these modified roms.  How well do the work in general in comparison with the original NHL 94 rom?  I have downloaded a few modified roms for Techno Super Bowl and they have been tremendous.  Does anyone know how this particular rom compares in terms of quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamWoodrow Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) If all you ever wished for was EA to continue making NHL games in the '94 format, then you won't be disappointed with these roms. There are no major visual differences between the original game and the roms except for updated teams, colors, and on-ice enhancements (coaches behind the bench, center ice logo, trapezoid net lines, etc.). Some people have mentioned that goal songs don't always match the teams from the original, but that doesn't bother me. From a gameplay perspective, the AI seems to be better defensively, but I could be misremembering how the original cartridge played. The original game had a "weight/checking bug" where smaller players (Theoren Fleury) could truck everyone, but players with 100 check rating couldn't actually check. Some of the roms fixed that bug so that it plays more accurately. You can read about that bug on this site somewhere. Other than that, the overall quality is outstanding. Naples39 and the rest of the people making the roms do a tremendous job and deserve a shrine in the Hall of Fame. Or at least eternal gratitude from this community. Edited September 20, 2017 by redkarpet Added "etc." to list of on-ice enhancements as a catch-all for other visuals I missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
