I have been selected as the Nevada Teacher who will fly with the Blue Angels! Next Wednesday October 10!

@kingraph Here is what is really behind the redacted info in @kingraph appointment book. Tuesday 9-25-2018 Register as a Rando Sega Bud while telling everyone there is no way you can attend the King of 94 in Vancouver. Saturday 10-27-2018 Midnight Fly on a private MSG Networks Jet to Vancouver with Arda Ocal. Sunday 10-28-2018 Destroy everyone in the preliminary rounds of the King of 94 Tourney. Sunday Night Play an Epic Final against @angryjay93 Sunday Midnight begin Epic all-night 2v2 Session in the LaQuinta Lobby. Monday 10-29-2018 Return to NY. Tuesday 10-30-2018 Back at the office in time to brainstorm his Chipotle order!

I was playing against AJ and Brutus about a month ago in Chicago and we were talking about how we were hoping you would be there. Anything we can do to persuade you to make the trip? I'm telling you from my experience, hanging out with the guys you've played with online for years is priceless. After the first Ko94 in Toronto, I couldn't imagine myself missing another one. The double bonus is @halifax runs a mean tourney! I know work is tough right now but I can remember the 2015 Toronto tourney vividly to this day and everyone I finally got to meet in person... since then, I've worked a lot of 80 hour weeks and you know, I don't remember any of those. Whatever happens, I think you're one that everyone would love to see at one of these events!

Hi Everyone! The new hockey season is officially here!!! With it, comes a bunch of new ROMs. As I did a "pre-season" version, I am now excited to present my official 2019 season ROM!!! Here’s what you need to know: *Link for the ROM is below the in-game images. *There are over 100 new players in this ROM vs my 2018 ROM. Many of them are rookies. *I created a new structure for all teams. Each team has 3 goalies, 14 forwards and 8 defensemen for you to choose from prior to a game. *This ROM is a “healthy/best case scenario” ROM. That means, most injured players (Shea Weber, Ryan Kesler, Seth Jones, Corey Perry, Mike Green, Torey Krug, Corey Crawford, Alex Galchenyuk, Cory Schneider, Dustin Brown, JG Pageau, etc.) are in the line-ups. I prefer it that way as it is more fun to play. Also, RFA “hold outs” like William Nylander and Nick Ritchie are in the line-ups. Kinda figure that they will stop being greedy and sitting at home before long. *Suspended players (Tom Wilson, Nate Schmidt, Austin Watson and Robert Bortuzzo) are in the line-ups. *LTIR players like Henrik Zetterberg (who has essentially retired) and Marian Gaborik (who may retire due to back surgery) are not in this ROM. I was going to include Patrick Eaves but left him out for now as his return is unknown and I needed his spot for a rookie. *Almost all opening night players made this ROM with the exception of approximately 10 players. I just couldn’t fit them given the 3/14/8 structure in bullet 3 (above). That said, I tried to include the guys that I felt most folks would want included. Unfortunately, as I would have liked to include them, I had to leave out Barrett Hayton and Isac Lundstrom but both are rumored to not stay on the rosters for long (as they are up due to injuries). *Many of the line combinations and D pairings come from preseason and will be used on opening night. In some cases, they are what was/is projected when a healthy player returns. Feel free to change them if you want something different. *Jersey number have been updated for all players as of 10/2. This, of course, is subject to change. *31 NHL Teams. The “WPG freeze bug” still exists. *32nd team is a 2019 Prospects team (featuring Jack Hughes). *Kenny Albert has replaced Mike “Doc” Emrick as the new “Ron Barr”. Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated! If you catch any mistakes/errors, please let me know. Cheers! -The Sauce NHL94 2019 ROM v1.zip

Some super cool news we got today!

Good point, disrespecting @smozoma is a bad idea. @angryjay93 1-1 unless he gets his thumbs caught in a meat grinder or agrees to play all games as Anaheim. @corbettkb 20-1 @smozoma 25-1 @IAmFleury'sHipCheck 25-1 @CoachMac 100-1 Everyone else 100-1 Thanks for bringing up my greatest 94 moment (beating @kingraph in GB) though he came back to totally dominate me in the Playoffs with 2 straight decisive victories and my win was one of those one in a million games where everything went right for me and wrong for him and I still barely won 5-4. Still it was my 1980 USA vs USSR moment. For 20 minutes I was the greatest NHL '94 player in the world. [Addressing the team before the US-USSR game] Great moments...are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them...and we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time! Now go out there and take it!

I'll come in?

This one really makes me think about my life choices. I could of learned an instrument or a language but I chose retro video game roster knowledge....

So, @kingraph you were correct (via the player cards tutorial) in that the issue I was experiencing was related to fixing the team player card pointers. Thank you for re-posting the link to the wboy tutorial. It didn't fully translate to my 32 team rom, as the hex pointer locations are different, but it was still helpful for insight. Luckily, I did get guidance on how to fix the issue that I was experiencing. Shout out to the architect of the 32 rom, @slapshot67 as he created and sent me an awesome tutorial. It taught me how to fix the pointers in my rom. Got it fixed in about an hour (once I got into a rhythm). Thanks @chaos for the original post in this thread as it, too, was very helpful!

I made a post about how player cards work and how you can adjust which roster spots get shown in the start screen: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/216-how-to-player-card-tutorial-nhl94-nhl95/&do=findComment&comment=169968 Hope that helps, happy to answer any questions you have.

You’re too kind bud. Im much farther down. As as an aside there’s one guy who’s from van and played Jamil in some exhis and did really well. His cousin used to play online. And will be there too. Dethrox was his name. Really good player. Snes will be a bloodbath.

Raph, I really hope that behind those crossouts are not things like "brainstorm Chipotle order" "Bathroom trip for #1" "Bathroom trip for #2 (REMINDER: make sure to flush this time; don't want call from HR... again)" "leave troll message on forums as Plabax" --> b/c we all know Plabax does not exist IRL and is simply an entity that was created by Raph so he could let the evil out once in awhile (b/c no one can really that nice all the time!) OK, on second thought, I do hope that's what's behind the red there. lol

it's been 25 years for me but who's counting!

Next tourney will be out east. We'll do whatever we can to get clockwise there. Laws may be broken.

This one went for over 190+ shares since yesterday

Hello everybody, I'm uploading a rom made thanks to a collaboration between Stelex software, @Jkline3 and myself. It's based on the actual Swiss championship. Jkline made the logos, I did the player cards and the rosters. Stelex software made the rest. Swiss National League 2018-2019.bin

Check it out!

Hi Everyone! So August, to many NHL fans, is the most boring month of the year. Not much, if anything happens for the sport. The NHL world is still waiting for OTT to finally trade Erik Karlsson as rumored for months and months. Who knows when that will finally happen. That said, in honor of a boring month of low activity, I am releasing an NHL19 “Way Too Early Edition” ROM. Much of the details of my 2018 ROM carries over to this version (see "Another NHL 2018 ROM" for additional details of that ROM). The rosters, as far as big trades and signings, over the last couple of months, are up to date as of today. Tavares on TOR, Kovalchuk on LA, O’Reilly (STL), etc. If I missed any notable ones, feel free to let me know. Many promising prospects, projected as having a legit chance of making their team’s opening night roster, are in the game. They include guys like Rasmus Dahlin (BUF), Casey Mittelstadt (BUF), Andrei Svechnikov (CAR), Filip Zadina (DET), Michael Rasmusson (DET), Kailer Yamamoto (EDM), Evan Bouchard (EDM), Dylan Sikura (CHI), Miro Heiskanen (DAL), Robert Thomas (STL), Ander Bjork (BOS), Gabriel Vilardi (LA), Filip Chytil (NYR), Lias Andersson (NYR), Elias Pettersson (VAN) and many more. I have also added several recent European signings (Par Lindholm-TOR, Jan Kovar-NYI & Bogdan Kiselevich-FLA to name a few). I did get some insight on them via scouting reports. The different lines and D pairings, playable per team, are early projections. In some cases, like Toronto, it is what the coach (Babcock) stated he’d like to try at the beginning. In other cases, it is a best guess subject to changes. The NLC lines and related pics are those I felt fit best. Some player portraits have been updated. A lot of the new jersey numbers are confirmed. Teams like ARZ, BUF, CGY, CAR, DAL, MIN, PHL, PIT, STL and TOR have confirmed them on their websites. In other cases, if a new number has not been confirmed, I used a number the player wore on another team or in the AHL/JRs./College. Just as long as it was not retired by their new team. Jack Eichel and Jack Roslovic have confirmed they are switching to new numbers this year so they are updated. Some teams, this year, are trying forwards at new positions in camp. Perfect example, CAR has confirmed they will try Sebastian Aho at center on the top line. He played some, at that position, at the end of the last season. Lastly, I have created a new Prospects Team (as the 32nd team). These are the early projected stars of next year’s draft. It’s forgone that Jack Hughes is going number one overall. The kid is awesome! It will be a draft filled with promising centers/wings like Alex Turcotte, Alex Newhook, Kappo Kakko, Dylan Cozens and Peyton Krebs to name a few. I did my best to get them correct (or close to) in attributes by using several scouting reports as I did for the 2018 Prospects. Some could be slightly off as I am still learning more about them. If so, I'll update them at a later time (as well as the prospects listed if some rise or fall in value). As always, feedback is welcome. Think of it as a pre-season edition as I will release a final start-of-the-season version in October (much like Skip/Slapshot & Naples39 do). I’ll likely, in October, do another 3v3 version to accompany it. For now, enjoy! NHL94 2019 Way Too Early Edition.zip Posted 8/1/18 NHL94 2019 Preseason Edition.zip Posted 9/14/18

Can't say I actually found the code in the ROM, I can just see what the problem is because it's a common thing to need to deal with in old-school programming . Might even be a fixable bug.

That's funny. The cause is that a "signed byte" can store numbers from -128 to 127. If you try to add to a number greater than 127, it'll wrap around to -128, -127 etc. If the game displayed 0, I guess they had some code to protect against displaying negative numbers. I don't know why they didn't use an unsigned byte (0-255)!

If you can make it to Vancouver, I guarantee you make top 3

A place for all champions of nhl 94' Tournaments!
