  2. 2020 Summer Salary Cap League

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This is such a cool idea and it’s been a lot of fun despite getting smoked by a lot of you guys. I hope someday this can be done on SNES as I mostly play on that. The players would need to be shuffled around a bit on the spreadsheet due to not having the weight bug. @Mike Gartner how did you determine the rating adjustments? I’d like to work on this myself someday as a rough draft before possibly setting up a league for it but I know almost nothing about ROM customization and it’s tough finding time to tinker with a toddler around 24/7 lol.

    There's a lot of great stuff on the boards in the inactive league sub-forums. Lots of old drama that is fun to revisit and there's a lot of great memories from the last 15 years. It's quite the rabbit hole. 

    I haven’t even thought about looking at this section. New rabbit hole for me!

    I downloaded some CD games yesterday and almost all of them are god awful. I was looking to buy a Sega CD model 2 but after playing those games it’s just not with the $150 investment. It would be cool if someone brought one to a live event to play a few games. 
     

    It would be cool to have custom MP3’s in the game like Kernkraft 400 when the Bruins score at home.  When I tried to assemble the game using the files(including audio files) from this site and with using sega cue maker I just couldn’t get the music to work in the game. I tried several forums on various sites but ended up saying F it and just downloaded a complete cue/bin from another site and the music finally worked. My time to tinker has been shortened after having a kid last year lol.

    We could always run a classic once a year or something. Not sure how difficult it would be to upload states for league stats versus genesis. I’m still very new to everything and trying to gobble up as much info from these forums as I can. 
     

    I will say the shot sound is a little weird for sure. I do like the crowd noise when they’re not booing or cheering. It reminds me of a real crowd at a game.

    OP is a little confusing. Kinda-thought this was what you were looking for?

    I'd check around their website some more. They have manuals for retrofitting OEM controllers, too.

    It’s almost what I’m looking for but I’m looking for one that works with PC, not the original or mini snes. That’s what I’m having trouble with. Thanks though!

  9. SNES Wireless Controller

    Missing reason for going wireless

    I'm looking for a recommendation on a SNES style 2.4ghz wireless controller. I want to steer clear of Bluetooth because of noticeable lag. I've been searching for the last two weeks and I haven't found anything worthwhile. I know there is a nice Retrobit Gens controller(https://amzn.to/325TAHw) that I ordered and is on the way. I'd like to use this solely for playing Gens. However I'm looking to see if there's something similar for SNES. 8BitDo has a couple of 2.4 wireless controllers but one is for the original SNES hardware while the other is for the SNES mini. Neither have a USB dongle for PC use. Worst case scenario I just use my iBuffalo wired SNES controller, my wired Xbox one controller, or this new Retrobit Gens controller since it has L and R buttons.

     

    Edit: The reason I'm looking to go wireless is because my PC is connected to my living room TV and my couch is ~15ft away. I'm currently using an Xbox one wired controller with a USB extender but my kid has been pulling the cord  or tripping over it and it's a pain taking it out and putting it away.

    Yeah. Was pretty disappointed to learn that I couldn't play Super Mario Kart. Not that big of a deal since there aren't that many games that use the DSP and Super FX chips.

    I think they have a beefed up snes ever drive that allows fx games to be played. Didn’t even think about Mario Kart. Probably my favorite MK of all time. 

  12. Original Hardware

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    I bought a Raspberry Pi a few years ago so I moved all of my original hardware into storage in the basement. Today I was checking to see what I have left for Sega and SNES. I came across my model 2 as well as a model 3 I totally forgot I snagged from my in-laws basement a few years ago. I don't think I've ever used a model 3. Is there really a big difference? The model 3 does feel cheaper but seems more mobile to travel with. I wanted to see if I had a 6-button controller while I wait for my wireless Retrobit one to arrive. I ended up finding a weird third-party 6-button controller(far right in image below) that also has an L and R button. I don't remember the MK-1653 having those buttons but then again I never did own one growing up. I hated hitting the Start button on the 3-button controller to switch between kicks and punches in Street Fighter. Grrr!!

    Anyways this is my 8 and 16-bit hockey collection. One of the NHL 94 copies contains the instruction booklet while the 95 copy contains a booklet with the rosters and overall attributes. I thought I had 96 for SNES but I guess not. The weird controller is on the far right as well as the EA 4-way play. I've always wanted a copy of Mutant League Hockey but haven't been able to grab it for under $50. Plus, I've played it recently and the frame rate is awful. It's not what I remember growing up lol.

    For tournaments do people usually play on original hardware or modded original hardware(HD, Retrobit wireless controllers, etc).?

    I'm curious about getting an Everdrive for Sega and SNES but I have the Pi so I don't know if it's worth it for me. Thoughts anyone?

    I'd be down to organize this, I am not too experienced with doing it here, but usually I'm the guy in charge of keeping standings/brackets when my friends and I play.

    @-ing everyone who expressed interest just to keep everyone on same page so we can try to figure out how to go about this.

    @clockwise, @BigValboski, @kidswasted, @lego

    I'm still interested in this. Hoping to play the ROM this weekend and explore the teams.

  23. Player Retention Ideas - how to attract and keep new players?

    in Welcome Rookies

    Also, just leave registration open all the time. Nice simple "Register for next season" button. On the registration page "Next season starts Feb 1st, 2017. You will receive an email 2 weeks earlier as a reminder (and to verify you're still interested."

    Also, back in early blitz days, the Farm league was actulay pretty popular, but I was just too busy/lazy to keep it going. So a "join at any time C league" could be a good idea, which I think someone brought up above already.

    I wanted to give my feedback as I've really just started getting into this site after lurking for a few years thanks to the SoChel tourney. I know this thread is a few years old so I apologize if some of this stuff has already been implemented.

    As @smozoma mentioned, a weekly/monthly newsletter of upcoming leagues registering or ROM hacks being released would be beneficial.

    Having a dedicated registration button for each league would be great too in case you don't proactively check on it often. Once the league is officially registering maybe you get an email notification letting you know. If you decide to register then you can do so. If you decide not to maybe there's a way to notify the league admin. Otherwise if you do not respond after X  number of days you will be removed from the league's list of pending coaches. I happened to see a league registering a few weeks ago through Discord for Gens even though I mainly play SNES. I just wanted to get my foot in the door and join a league. Coming back to the newsletter it would be nice to get notified of any leagues registering. An even better option would be to opt in/out for Gens vs. SNES or both!

    I think the Retroarch installation package was really easy to configure and setup a USB controller.

    Having a dedicated game night is key, especially being married and having kids. I already have one with my online poker buddies so it seems to work well. This keeps a dedicated time to always meet up and play league or exhibition games.

    I'm not sure how many regular season games are typically played in a given league but I would think any more than 30-40 could deter rookies from investing consistently. For larger leagues (20+ teams) maybe play each team twice or only teams in your conference 3 times so each matchup is essentially a best of 3. Smaller leagues(under 20 teams) could play more games and try to keep it under 30-40 games.

    With leagues there could be a rookie conference vs a veteran conference so the rookies can beat each other up while the vets still have fun beating each other up all season. The only issue with this is whoever wins the vet bracket will almost be guaranteed the cup. Otherwise there could be leagues for A/B or C/D similar to pickup ice hockey. I know I've seen some of these on this site and I think it's a great idea.

    Another thing with rookies is the learning curve with tips and tricks such as D control(SNES), manual goalie, pass shots, hitting Y to get your guy up from being knocked down(SNES). I know someone started the nhl94strategy.com site which is great but is incomplete. Obviously we all have lives and not a lot of time to focus on such things like updating. I'd love to help anyway I can but I'm still learning a lot about the game myself. I never used D control or manual growing up lol.

    Anyways let me know what you think and if any of this has already been implemented. I love this site and I'm just cruising through threads all day at work. Just don't tell my boss!

    An be kind to @Chaos asking him to set up another League.

    I can only imagine how many of these guys are swamped with managing leagues and trying to push people to play their games on a deadline. The last thing I want to do is make demands as a n00b. I'm hoping to join some leagues to see how it all works and then run a few myself in the future. If I knew what I was doing I'd run a league now but I'm too scared. LOL

  25. Mutant League Hockey VS NHL94

    in Mutant League Hockey

    Posted

    For some reason this was always rented out at the local Blockbuster growing up while they almost always had a copy of Mutant League Football on the shelf. I remember playing this years ago as a kid and loving it. I played it again about 10-15 years ago using an emulator and it wasn't as good as I remembered it. However I would probably still buy both cartridges today for a reasonable price.

    If anyone starts a MLH league I would totally be down even though I haven't played in years.
