awesome job all around!

Yes built on SNES NHL 94 but using the player attributes based on NHL 97 which came out Fall of 1996 and when the 96 World Cup took place.

Version 2 has been added to the original post. The only differences here are some attributes changing for about 20 skaters over various teams where they were previously either too high or too low.

No it’s just a headerless ROM. It should work with any emulator.

Try the attached. I got it to work on my Delta emulator on an iPhone. NHL26v1.sfc

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be releasing version 2 hopefully this week. I noticed after the release some attributes were too high or too low for some guys.

I released NHL 26 yesterday

After working on it the past few weeks I'm finally releasing an NHL 26 ROM (which is an updated version of my previous NHL 25 ROM). Some notes about the ROM: 28-team ROM replacing Campbell and Wales All Star teams with Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights Quebec becomes Colorado while Hartford becomes Carolina Columbus, Nashville, and Seattle, and Utah are all excluded as they were further down the standings. I hope to rotate the two All Star teams with the best of this bunch(including MIN/VGK) Jerseys have been updated to match their current home/away colors Rosters are current through 10/30/25. I may have missed some add/drops but will look again as the season goes on Advantages for Home/Away/PP/PK/Offense/Defense have been set up based on each team's 24-25 performance Player portrait tool was run so everyone should have stock images Line 1/Best were set as close to real life top lines as I could get. Other lines are next best based on overall. @McMarkis hacks applied: No intro hack applied to skip the long intro screens 1-minute penalties Defense Control is enabled by default Pull goalie with L + R New hacks for this ROM: Enabled Body Checks for/against. They will show in the Player Stats page Custom splash screen applied by McMarkis Show real attribute values in Edit Lines (instead of seeing who's hot/cold based on 'feel') I've attached a CSV containing the rosters (I will add the lines and team rankings next week) 99min OT version also attached Thanks to McMarkis for his various ROM hacks(1min penalties, no intro hack, etc.) as always. I may create a Hot/Cold Bug Fix ROM in the near future. NHL26v2.smc SNES NHL 26 IMPORT.csv NHL26v2_99minOT.smc

If they do better than the other expansion teams this year, they'll make the cut next year.

@Stefan You've convinced me to do an NHL 26 ROM. I started working on it yesterday. It will take some time. Hopefully I can finish and release it within the next few weeks. Based on last year's standings I'm removing NSH (ASE) and adding MIN for this year's ROM. CBJ, SEA, and UTA also miss the cut again.

Not sure yet. I've been really busy with work and home life lately. If I do one it'll probably another November release or something when life slows down a bit. It's a lot of work each year.

Right on. It was more so to provide some insight into other features that could be added to your tool if they weren't already in there.

I tried using the tool shortly after my above post 2 years ago and couldn't remember what happened. Just tried it again and I'm getting a run-time error '9' subscript out of range when selecting a save state of the original ROM (tried headered and headerless with the same result). Has anyone had any success in the last 10-15 years using this tool?

This is pretty cool! Something like this was done in the past for SNES but the tool has been broken awhile. The OP has been AWOL for the last 10+ years too. Here's the link in case you wanted to check it out. I've also included screenshots of each page within the tool. We're able to download it but can't import any ROMs as you'll get a runtime error.

Thanks for the kind words and the heads-up. I've added version 2 to the original post. You should also be able to change one of them to Auston Matthews in the Edit Lines screen manually if you didn't want to download the new version. The Trade Deadline ROM (post right above yours) has this fixed as well.
