Okay so it's been a few days. I thought this one was done, but encountered a series of major bugs when doing the final pass, but here goes nothing. Hot on the heals of Midway's NBA Jam - Tournament Edition, EA and the IIHF come to an agreement that results in: Features that differentiate this game from the original IIHF 94 include: More teams! Welcome Spain and South Korea as the total number of teams is expanded from 30 to 32! Some graphical enhancements to emphasize highlight the involvement with the World Championships in Italy this year! So long Ron. Hello Ron! As our partnership with Mr. Barr comes to a close, we are happy to announce that Mr. MacLean has agreed to become our new presenter! [also happy that I found out how to apply the original colour back to the photo] Realistic branding and sponsorships. Feels like being at a real game! [sadly, the zamboni uses some weird sorting and i was not able to reliably modify the colours] Center ice now features some international federation logos including Canada, Finland, Russia, U.S.A, and more! Win the IIHF World Championship trophy! See scores from around the league! Brought to you by! Back of the box sales pitch aside, it should also be noted that this game is based on skip and slapshot67's original 32-team ROM. Thanks guys! Unfortunately that also means that like 32 team roms, this game includes the Winnipeg Freeze bug. [or in this case the Ukraine Freeze bug. ...Ukrainian from Winnipeg, always getting crapped on] I originally tried the player card breaking "fix" to alleviate the freezing, but I noticed that it also breaks the ability to play a full playoff run. And given the emphasis on World Championships, I felt it the lesser evil to just leave it as is. So just know that when playing in Soviet game, "U" breaks game! [this only affects Ukraine and U.S.A.] Anyways, adoing no further. IIHF 94 Champ Ed.bin

Hey guys I have a mod request that if actually done, would be kinda mind blowing. I've been working on various hardware mods on the genesis and have come across tons of info from various sites on the graphical output of the system and the games. Even though the system outputs 240p, it can also out put 480i. This is demonstrated in sonic and knuckles for split screen. BUT the image is squished into 4/3 even though if displayed correctly would be sorta a 16/9 but vertically. I was thinking it may actually be possible to display NHL94 or any of them in 480i and also edit the resolution output of the rom to correlate. Theoretically this could display 2/3rds of the arena, as the full length of the live rendered game is about 3 full screens. So you would still get some scrolling near the net. This would open the game up considerably, allowing to see way beyond the blue line. Also it would frankly look better as the sprites look so blocky when they are blown up on a 40+ inch HDTV. This would make for a better looking/playing game. The reason I think its worth trying is that the full game is rendered when playing, and there is a ton of vertical scroll / display options in addition the the 480i configuration when you get into the different register settings. This could open up so many other vintage games if possible. Mick
