Dude. All of the thanks. I had all of the other ones changed, but it appeared that offset 00013BAC only took care of the Playoff teams and 00014492 and 00014498 didn't actually do anything. My notes were missing this one and that was exactly what I needed for exhibition games. To add to what @Sedge said, this is using the 32-team mod of NHLPA'93. And on a side note, if anyone is interested in removing icing calls, that one appears to be at 0000CC9E. Just change 08F8 to 6002.

So I messed around with this a bit further and figured out a few things. I managed to edit together 2 midi tracks to make a custom HNIC theme from the 90s. I used MixPad and altered notes etc to sound similar to the track, then I went to work changing the notes to a single instrument. From there, I exported a midi track and ran it using smoz' python script. Because there were multiple notes playing at the same time throughout the track (like chords), THAT is how you can cheat and have multiple instruments at once. The thing is, trying to separate them according to tone is super difficult. The EASY way to do it is to simply assign an instrument to a pitch range. It's not 100% foolproof but it's pretty good. As you can see in the image above, any note played in the '40' range from column D was assigned channel 0 (90/80). Every pitch with values in the 50s got channel 1 (91/81) and so on and so forth. I ended up with 6 channels and used 3 instruments. Channel 0 = 0B Channel 1 = 08 Channel 2 = 04 Channel 3 = 0B Channel 6 = 08 Channel 7 = 0B I wanted more of a brassy sound because of the horns in the actual track and the 0B chorus synth worked fairly well, with 08 having some decent single sound reverb. HNIC-2.mp4 If you notice, I figured out how to get the song to loop. At the end of the original NHL94 theme is a 10 byte footer(?) that I pasted at the end of the midi information I put in from smoz' script. It looks like this: If you copy the highlighted part and slap it at the end of your track, it should loop, regardless of what comes after it. We're getting there... the sound barrier has been breached LOL

NES Ice Hockey lovers, I was bored and made a quick Original 6 hack. This game is amazing and would like to start a league for it if enough people are up for it. If you are interested please let me know! Changes to the ROM include: New intro screen/team selection screen colours (Orange and black) instead of pink and blue. New jersey looks for all 6 teams Team Logos updated as best I could to represent the original 6 Updated Ice graphic to show NHL original 6 Updated faceoff circles and dot graphics to be more realistic Boards are yellow Also the Ref is the correct colours now. No longer Blue and Red Ice Hockey_INDIO Orig6_v1.nes
