Today is the day I have been waiting for since last Summer. The All-Time Greatest Players ROM is finally being released! Some notes about the ROM: 28-team ROM replacing Campbell and Wales All-Star teams with Original Six and Expansion All-Time All-Star teams. I used the 70s Orange/White/Black All-Star jerseys for the Original Six and the 95-96(Purple/Black and Teal/white) All-Star jerseys for the Expansion jerseys. Used different team/same franchise jerseys including DAL/MIN, QUE/COL, HFD/CAR, WPG/PHX Home jerseys are light jerseys, regardless if it was ever their home or away jersey Included some fan favorites over others(i.e. Terry O'Reilly, Bob Probert, Wendel Clark) but did my best with including HOFs. It was really tough for the Original Six teams for sure. Some players were great but didn't make the cut due to others with more Cups, All-Star votes, stats leaders, and/or HOF. Some players appear on multiple teams but the attributes are different depending on the team(i.e. Gretzky better on EDM than LA). Players in general would need to have played at least 3+ seasons with the team to be included. Most players have Endurance of 3. If anyone uses this ROM for line changes let me know. I'll need to edit the Endurance for everyone and that will change their Overall score. I didn't want everyone to have inflated Overall due to Endurance. I tried to keep some famous lines together which will reflect if line changes are on. Otherwise I just made the best available line based on overall. Players have abbreviated first name with their full last name(i.e W Gretzky). I have not updated player cards yet but might do so in the future. I hope to 'port' this to Gens once I get a handle on NOSE.

Trimmed down ANH and FLA to 18 players so I didn't have to abbreviate any names. This allows me to continue to use statto's ROM editor for future updates.

Thought this would be as good as place as any to comment that the update to the front page of the site looks great. Nicely done. Forum users tend to bypass the frontpage so today might be a good day to check it out again. https://nhl94.com

Hey all, UK hockey fan since my Dad surprised me with NHLPA 93 on Mega Drive when I was a kid. Not sure what came first - that game or seeing the sport at the Winter Olympics. Either way I've been a hockey fan ever since. I first found this place when I played the 2018 mod. Then after hacking my Mega Drive Mini last year I came back to get the latest mod and became overwhelmed by just how many you guys have actually done. I've got a massive folder now filled with almost every season and league. I seriously need to seek out all the individual creators and give thanks, cos the the work that's gone into them all is amazing. I've put it off for ages but figured it was finally time to join the community

Yes, ASM hacking is what I'm doing for expanding the number of teams, and removing the graphics compression (so you can edit the graphics right in the ROM). It's POSSIBLE to add seasons to the game through ASM hacking (as anything is possible with ASM, within the limits of the hardware), but not realistically possible with the ASM hackers we have here (i.e... me) It took me a week solid of work (so.. 80 hours?) to expand NHLPA'93 to 64 teams, but 94 is more complicated (the graphics mainly). And that's just working with the code that's already there, not writing entirely new code and shoehorning it into the game. Plus in the Mario scene they probably have some guys who probably do/did ASM stuff for a living.. while I took 2 classes in it in school
