Can I ask if this is the only Rom project you plan to do? If Yes, that's okay as it's totally up to you. I seem to had mentioned some rather ambitious suggestions and ideas for this Rom to be progressed to a further level. I made another thread about it I think just yesterday. If you read it, its Probably not likely to ever happen but I assume if you can't do it for me or whoever is interested in what I proposed then maybe someone could help you abit with that or have someone with your permission to maybe do the work on my shared suggestions? What I suggested probably is not overly too hard to do, but would take some time to complete though. I seem to be more interested in a more strictly NHL only based Rom off this Crown Royal Edition. In my other post I just detailed in detail what I would personally myself would like to see for this particular Rom in the future going forward. It's just a idea and suggestion that's all. I seem to be a user on here that just really enjoys the Roms. That's mostly why I'm here and visit this site and this forum.

Not directly. I would have to Check to see if Madden uses the .ANIM format, but I want to say I have been checking various things from sound formats to graphics formats and haven’t found any matches across various EA Genesis games. Don’t remember if I checked Madden 93.

Sounds Good!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be releasing version 2 hopefully this week. I noticed after the release some attributes were too high or too low for some guys.

This kind of project i made up will probably never even make it to First Base, but I thought of another idea! How about having everything I mentioned above and the specific extra players added on the particular teams, but have the 2 Crowns Teams substituted into "4 variants" which would all keep and still include the 1994 Eastern and 1994 Western teams with the differences of, 1) all the fixes mentioned above but with still the Crown Teams retained. 2) all fixes from earlier but with Crown Teams removed and have the 1993 Wales and 1993 Campbell teams in its place. 3) all fixes from above but with Crown Teams replaced with the 2025 4Nations teams of Team Canada and Team USA. 4) all fixes from above but with Crown Teams replaced with "2025 and more current Era AllStar level NHL players" seperated like in the past by both a Western and Eastern AllStar team. You could call the First One maybe "Nhl94 NHL Crown Royal "Buffed" Edition!". And then the Trio of the other 3 variants too could have some fitting name. So that could be 4 brand new extra variations off the recent Crown Royal Edition! Any Thoughts or find that at all interesting?

I liked this Rom (as I do many various ones on this site) despite always preferring the Sega Genesis versions of all the NHL games. Lately I found a Good or abit better and more stable SNES Emulator compared to what I had in the past. Hope to see more updates for this ROM this year, and will also welcome from the more Sega Genesis oriented creators too pretty much any ROM project and including if they are also new Nhl2026 based season ROMs. But willl likely though still play the SNES ROMs on occasion.

Would be nice since unlikely NHL94 will ever be cracked to the point where within the Rom a way to do Trades, and also Create players is unlikely at this rate. So my Dream is maybe someday someone can make a "Android version" for me and others of the NOSE editor or a totally brand new editor that could allow for simple trades, edits, and created players for any NHL94 Rom! One also suitable and compatible with non PC based Android devices!

I have just made a request to someone on this site to edit for me the two NHL FANTASY Roms (including also V2) for 7min, 10min, and 20min periods versus that original 30min option! I and others will have to just wait and see if I can get those edits for the two NHL FANTASY Roms as well besides only the Nhl91-98 ones above.

What does anyone think about my fairly simple Concept above? For the creator does any fellow workers for Crown (and for anyone else on this forum) that you said you made the Crown Edition for be maybe also up for a strictly mostly a NHL based player alternate and secondary Rom as well with just only a few specific added current and Legend player additions i mentioned included on teams beyond just only having the Crown Edition? Seems like what I envisioned could be put together pretty quickly using the NOSE editor?

If this version could ever be created it could maybe be even called the "Nhl94 NHL Hybrid Edition" or something sort of clever. Sounds like my concept is more mainly just a Roster and player update/ touchup more than anything and based right off the Crown Edition. Sounds like this version would not be likely too hard to create if it was.

BRCbruce has recently released a great New Rom called the Nhl94 Crown Royal Edition. I will conceptualize the following for it. Unlikely to happen but would Love to see this. Its just a idea and suggestion from me because I'd be interested. As in Interested in a suggested alternate seperate version Rom He could make (BRCbruce) which could be exactly as it is or what it may become except I'd like to see these hypothetically changes in a alternative somewhat different version? Things it could Include.... 1) correct handedness of all players. 2) Be completely a "Seperate and Extra version" based right off the Crown Edition Version except with the Crown Teams removed and the 1993 Wales and Campbell teams returned. The HartFord Whalers retained. And Dino Ciccarelli retained on Detroit and Charlie Conway with so-called "Jagr Stats" retained! 3) Almost all the other current NHL and current new fictional players retained as is on just the NHL teams. This version could just have Crown Teams and players removed however. And the 2 Crown Teams could become the 1993 Wales and Campbell Allstars. 4) And finally with the biggest bonus is also with a inclusion of one to up to two or three or so actual lowest rated players per team to be instead totally replaced by mostly a current Era NHL Superstar level player(s))! Or for some one classic star (or maybe sometimes two or more) on a team like say Bobby Clarke on Philadelphia! More specifically for all the Teams the following added additional new real life current and or past players i would like to see on all the teams could be like this.... 1)Anaheim (Paul Kariya, and also either added Adam Banks (Mighty Ducks Movie)or even a duplicate of Teemu Selanne?) 2)Boston, (D Pastrnak and McAvoy) 3)Buffalo, (maybe Vanek and Gilbert Perreault?) 4)Calgary, (J Iginla) 5)Chicago, (Bobby Hull) 6)Dallas, (M Rantanen, maybe Jamie Benn and Seguin, and maybe a duplicate of Brett Hull?) 7)Detroit, (Datsyuk and G Howe?) 8)Edmonton, (McDavid and also L Draisaitl) 9)Florida, ( perhaps all of Barkov, Tkachuk,Sam Reinhart, and Marchand?) 10)LA Kings (Kopitar and Dionne?) 11)Montreal, (M Richard and also J Beliveau) 12)New Jersey, (Kovalchuk and Jack Hughes) 13)NY Islanders, (Bossy) 14) NY Rangers, (maybe Adam Fox, Panarin, and a duplicate of Gretzky?) 15)Ottawa, (Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and Daniel Alfreadson ) 16) Quebec, (Nathan Mackinnon and Cale Makar) 17)Flyers, (Bobby Clarke) 18)Pittsburgh, (Sidney Crosby) 19)San Jose, ( Perhaps just a Duplicate of Mike Ricci? But #18) 20)St Louis, (maybe both Kyrou and Bernie Federko) 21)Toronto, ( Matthew's, M Marner and maybe also as well, Knies?) 22) Tampa Bay, (Stamkos, Hedman, and St Louis) 19)Vancouver, (both of the Sedin Brothers) 20)Washington, (Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson) 21)Winnipeg (Im not sure! But maybe both Blake Wheeler and Patrik Laine?) I think that's pretty much it unless I missed a main team in Nhl94. Oh, Hartford I think it was! (and Hartford could maybe get Carolinas AHO?) Well this of course is just my hypothetical concept and a suggestion Id like to see for BRCbruce! As in being a "alternate extra version" based off the Crown Royal Edition Base! For now, just a Dream version! 😀 That's alot to be asking for Eh? 😀 I think that's more than enough suggestions from me for a new version Rom. LOL! Note: I think my point is I just want a few extra more higher skilled players, up to only 3 or 4 new players max on some teams, for some extra players with more added skill or "firepower" for scoring,etc! Perhaps the new specific players I want listed above for each team could just be available for the teams if not all as "the default lineups" within Edit lines?

I think Brian Bellows on Montreal to me seems too lowly rated. I think he could use a ratings boost. Also it appeared he was named Brian Bellow not Bellows. Aside from correcting some players handedness the only other suggestion for this Rom is maybe for some teams that lack a fictional player maybe one or two could be added to those teams. And better if at least one or two of the fictional players on each team could be rated at least a 80 or better overall? Other than that I don't have any more suggestions at the moment.

Thanks! I seem to really like this Rom. Thanks also for making changes to it last night (like Dino Ciccarrelli and making Charlie Conway higher rated for example) and for even accepting such suggestions. I assume you are from Canada? In the 80s and 90s I've been to Canada. Only Canadian city their I've been to though is Toronto on a vacation with my parents as a kid. I visited the CN tower their too. Canada often reminds me of Europe actually, partly because for one they use the metric system for example as I'm from the USA. Actually the only country outside the USA I've been to is Canada in fact. I also do listen to just some music groups out of Canada but not too many. Its Funny Ive noticed about myself the last several years I both think more and talk about Canada more fondly today than in the past! Perhaps it's partly or maybe has abit to do with more recent years of the political changes in America. Funny that one past Canadian Hockey player I do remember very well was actually Mike Ricci! Note: I Edited and removed some things I had said. Because I was initially mentioning too much or something about politics. I have decided to edit some of that out.

Love the graphical changes! I wonder where NHL 98 stores them.

No, because it has been privated.

@RT1977 I appreciate the engagement with my ROM. I'll for sure have a look at those guys and swap their hands. Real easy to do in NOSE. Back in 94 I was only 8 and only cared about the Leafs and the .ain superstars of that era, my dad was a huge wings fan.

Only other current suggestion for correction is Players I noticed who need corrected handedness to my knowledge in this Rom....(correct handedness check?) Rob Blake (on both LA Kings and Western All Stars team), Zdeno Cigar?, Kelly Buchberger, Jesse Belanger?, Brian Bellows, Marty McSorley, Jason Smith?, Tom Chorske?, Keith Jones?, Esa Tikkamen, Steve Larmer?, Ed Olczyk, Claude Lapointe, Dimitri Mironov?, Wendell Clark, Jimmy Carson,Don Sweeney (Boston), and Charlie Conway (Ducks, I think in the movie he was a righty). These players to my own knowledge (? on some im not sure) have wrong handedness in the game. Quick Edit:players Jesse Belanger, Steve Larmer, Zdeno Cigar, and Tom Chorske have actually the correct handedness in your Rom. For the other players mentioned I think I'm mostly correct but not a expert! Just a suggestion to fix these above players to the correct stick handedness? I will ease back abit because I've been writing you abit too much tonight!

If curious for the Emulator I tend to mostly use for Sega Genesis games it's called EmuMD XL by Pentawire. Because for years I just only play and use Android Tablets to play my Genesis Roms or Android games. I actiually no longer even own a PC actually but I used to own a Windows PC many years ago. Because now I just have a Smart Phone, some Android Tablets, and also own a few now discontinued Playstation 4 consoles as "my latest" gaming console. Still have not yet upgraded to the Playstation 5, etc. If curious to what my actual favorite Playstation 4 game is its called War Thunder! I only play and like the flight simulation portion of that game that includes both aircraft (Props, Jets) and also helicopters. Lately I've been flying the Helicopters on it moreso than the planes over the last few months.

Ok Good as that should help everyone downloading the ROM. Thankyou also for making this Rom. There is many years of many peoples great work and their efforts on this whole site for mods of the NHL game Roms. I think it's great! For watching current real hockey it's unfortunate my cable TV package isn't good enough to access many season games. On my cable package it looks like the only next upcoming game I can watch is not till Tuesday night! I do not have ESPN plus or NHL network for example.

@RT1977 weird I've had no problems with file extensions. They work great on Kega Fusion and GenPlusDroid. Thanks for the heads up though. Added ROM with added .bin Extension to main post

Thats Awesome and Thanks! 👍 Working good so far except I just had to add/ rename a extension (such as .bin) to these download files on my device after I downloaded because they were not added to the file names in the download. My emulator I like to use accepts .bin files for example so I just added that extension to the file after downloading.

@RT1977 Here you go, gave Conway Jagr stats and threw Dino back onto Detroit. Thanks for the suggestions! CRNHL94Master

I'll throw him on top of Sheldon Kennedy since I've never heard of him 😁

Cool! Only changes I would like to see in this is Dino Ciccarelli added to Detroit (maybe remove Martin Lapointe to fit him?) and for Anaheim Mighty Ducks maybe change Charlie Conway to a higher rating so he's then the best rated player on the team! LOL!

Finally put the finishing touches into my ROM that i made for the guys at work. This ROM was built on top of @Sauce NHL 94 Trade Deadline Rom. I started it long ago and was a long on again off again project. I would edit some and then come across another topic on here to change or add something else so I would keep going back for more. I originally made the Crown Royal team on top of Hartford for whatever reason but then shifted when I wanted to make a second team and put them overtop of Wales/Campbell all stars. A big thanks to @von Ozbourne for rearranging and cleaning up stray tiles for me. Im sure I've patched this ROM with a tonne of things that i cant recall. There are some hidden characters on a bunch of teams and cousins and uncles spread out through Toronto and Detroit. Updated the intro screen with my favorite goalie ever Felix The Cat and changed it to CR Hockey for Crown Royal obviously My absolute favorite part is the selection screen, it took me a while to get it as close to right as I could. I had some trouble with this and finding the right offset for the pallette following the tutorial set out by @Drezz but that was due to my own lacking. Finally figured it out and was really the last step for me to truly finish this ROM. Two Crown teams the Crown Royals and the Crown Apples, to match different flavours of the whiskey. Matchup screen updated with Michael Buffer on the call to get the players hyped. Updated Islanders and Rangers on scoreboard instead of New York I and R, for my own preference. TSN branding on the scoreboard and Diageo on the Zamboni. I'm liking the white rink for now so that's what it is. Added our union for the advertising to seal the deal. Thanks for having a look.
