A friendly "hey guys, you forgot the penalty box fix" would have sufficed. I'm sure it will be taken care of in the next release. Sorry it ruined your game. The null players are there by design since this is a living rom and has been continuously updated all summer as players sign or are traded. Since @von Ozbourne creates an individual color photo for each player this leaves a little flexibility to add players without having to reconfigure everything anytime there is a transaction. None of the null players are part of any lines, so unless you took the time to open this up in NOSE and changed Anaheim's lines to add a null player he wouldn't appear in game. Not sure why you would have done that.

I noticed that too about players no longer seen in the penalty box. Maybe somebody could look into that? I'll add that what I'd like to see alot more is this so called Fixed Rom be mostly as it already is but with a extra separate download with the 2 line pass rule removed? That particular issue was actually fixed by someone in a Mod somewhere on this site. But the rest of that mod was the same otherwise and not fixed. Be even better to have this fixed version by the same guy that made it but with the 2 line pass rule removed? Could be also in a optional separate download. Think that's ever possible for someone to work on? I have zero idea how to make any modified Roms myself. Anyway I don't own a PC anymore and don't plan to buy one either. I play the Sega Genesis versions on Android Tablet Emulators these past many years and only play Genesis versions because they are much easier for me than SNES version (like for example Nhl94). Another thing that I would like and it would be cool is if future roster update projects using mostly primarily NHL97 and NHL98 even if it requires some missing teams and for the upcoming season and for the last several past seasons,etc?

NHL '98 Sega Genesis (USA) - No 2-Line Rule EDIT - This is an updated post from the original that had some bugs. The code seems to be working now So I asked my friend who is a Wizard at reverse engineering software to look at NHL '98 to see if he could remove the 'Two Line Pass' rule, and lo and behold, here it is I can't guarantee it will work on other ROMS as the addresses may be different, but users could look for the strings and see if they are present in other ROMs to test them out. Easiest way to know if this patch will work is to search for the strings below and if you find them you should be good to go. I haven't tested this out extensively, so there is a possibility for bugs. If you find any, please let me know! Some notes from the Master: "What I was trying to do before was just null the 'if' statements, but that didn't work because I discovered that there's a lot of 'if' statements that determine this rule violation. So instead, I went into the 2-line rule violation code itself and made it simply jump to the branch that occurs if no violation is detected". Please feel free to test this out. I played one 30 min game, and two 15 min games with not one double line pass infraction. Keep an eye out for the computer making a two line pass. If you see one, and there is no infraction (or if there is an infraction), please post here and we can take another look at it. I have checked for the values shown above in some other ROMs but not many. The Widescreen version does have this string, so users of the Widescreen NHL '98 ROM should be able to patch their ROM should they wish to remove the 2 Line rule. Code to Activate Mod Disables the 2-Line pass rule, allow you to pass more than 2 lines across the rink. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 26 78 DE CA 30 3C 00 3A 4E B9 00 02 13 Change To: 60 0C DE CA 30 3C 00 3A 4E B9 00 02 13 NHL 98 (USA) (No 2 Line Pass) v3.md
