Hi Everyone!
I took my NHL94 2021 rom (the Slapshot67 template) and converted it to 3v3 play (file posted below the notes). Some notable changes/fixes/updates:
*The game no longer freezes during the Ron Barr/Tonight's Match message screen. Special thanks to Seamor and Smozoma for their findings and post on how to limit player cards on this screen. That was the cause of the freeze in past versions.
*Like the above, I limit the player cards in the Team Selection pages. You now see one Dman, a winger, a center and a goalie.
*Powerplays are 4 on 3. Penalties are 1 min in length.
*You can now edit/update PP units in the game. In the past, because I would only show one Dman, if I had a second on the PP point, you couldn't see them in the Line Editor. You would have to download NOSE to see them and edit accordingly. To remedy it, I simply show 1 D and 3 wingers. This way, you can edit one of the 4 within the game.
*Periods are 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes.
*Each team has 6 forwards, 3 Dmen and 2 goalies to chose from when editing lines.
*32 NHL Teams. The Seattle Kraken are included in this rom. I retired the Mystery, Alaska team (from prior 3v3 roms).
*The Seattle Kraken contains players from the Seattle Metropolitans circa 1917-1919. Known bugs: *WSH/WPG Freeze Bug if you cycle player cards, on the Team Selection page, for both Washington and Winnipeg. If you use Kega Fusion, as an emulator, it will not freeze.
*If your team has two players penalized, the powerplay becomes 4 on 2. However, since penalties are only 1 min in length, it shouldn't be a big deal. It adds to the excitement. LOL
*Due to how the game must be edited in Hex Code, the checking line, when you play with "line changes on", becomes the top line ("Scoring Line 1). So, I renamed the checking line to say Sc.1 when editing in-game. The original Scoring 1 becomes Sc.2 and Scoring Line 2 becomes Sc.3 (with line changes on). I use the same PP and PK lines, for each instance, so I renamed them to PP and PK instead of PP1/PP2 and PK1/PK2.
*The in-game line editor and team roster view, when line changes are on, sorts as Sc2., Sc3. and Sc1. for the 3 lines. Just keep that in mind when you do in-game changes.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
