Dear SNES Buds, For quite some time, the GENS folks have been playing a 2v2 version of '94 in which 4 players join and play a modified ROM that has 2 players on each team plus the goalie. It's incredibly fun, and addictive as DRUGS. Anyway, the time has come for SNES folks to do the same. I don't know if the 2v2 game will merit the same addictiveness and fun as the GENS version, but it's time we try! You need to use the SNES9k emulator and this modified ROM: NHL94_2v2.smc SNES 2v2 ROM:
2 players on ice and goalie.
All players attributes set to 85.
All players weight set to 196.
Teams strengths (home/away, pp/pk, and offense/defense) all set to moderate.
ROM header title changed to {{{NHL'94 2v2}}}
The SNES9k Emulator: Download here: http://www.remz.ca/main/retro-games/snes-netplay-tutorial/ Once you download and set up the emulator, make sure to enable Multitap 5. Not having this set by ALL players resulted in a crash when starting the game.
Next, go to File --> Play Kaillera Game
Set:
Change Mode: 2.Client
Connection Setting: Excellent (30packets/s)
Nick: Your forum name (or whatever)
Then click the "Master Server List" to find a server close to you (lowest ping), or equal distances from all 4 players.
Once you find a room, let the other 3 buds know the IP. They can click "Custom IP" and type the IP in to join.
In the server room, right click on the bottom and you'll be able to start a game. This will be called {{{NHL'94 2v2}}}.
The other 3 guys should join and then you click start game.
Many thanks to Northway Native and Clockwise for helping to figure this out last night!
I encourage you all to try this and report back and issues, bugs, revelry, chaos, etc.
