  4. NHL 94 Rewind

    There are different things that can happen, and they are not mutually-exclusive.

    1. It creates interest in 94. People google it and find the community. They play in leagues and come to tournaments and make ROMs. Big win!
    2. People leave here to go play on their couch. Boo.
    3. EA's lawyers destroy us for infringing on a property they are now actively using.

     

    And that means they could come after other years' mods as well. (But are there any really for other NHL versions? I haven't looked in along while. Would love mods for the the late 90s NHLs)
    I think people who play now will continue to because we don't do it out of a lack of arcade-y hockey games, we do it because we like the old games. And they're not hard to get running. But I think the people who have a tiny soft spot for old games but only play modern consoles will see that as an easy way of playing "the old NHL" even though the sprite animation and tech is bound to not be the same.

    I'm curious... how do we feel about this?

    Yes, any re-release of classic games is great. But I sort of feel like it's the big studio cashing in on something they long ago abandoned. Plus, it's clearly a desperate attempt to make people buy NHL21. I don't know I feel like I'd rather play the ROM mods. Even without all 31 teams.

  6. NHL updated game with season play?

    I think you know about this already, but thought I'd put a link here anyway for others surfing in. It is not EA, but you can check http://PlayNHL.TK for a current roster (19/20) for NHL2K11, the last console hockey game by 2K. The NHL2K11 game has been improved by DJNEO, he released a mod called 2KHS for it. Those of you that haven't seen it check it out because it is an insane project.

    To be honest, what exactly is needed to run 2KHS is still confusing to me. I have no clue how to run it, what I need and why it takes such a powerful computer. Plus it seems like this interminable project that is never ready. There's a download, there isn't a download, it's a beta, it isn't ready, it is ready.. .you know?

    So you'd want to play the original NHL94 on PC retroarch and verify where it stores the SRM, then replace that SRM with the Android one.

    Yeah, I've done exactly that on both sides.

    Shame, I just figured, it's going well, looks like I'm going to get to the final, and now I'm there and wanted to pick up on the TV via the RetroArch PC program.
    What do you guys recommend for playing on PC? Is Gens still the one?

    This is funny and a good insight into Human Behavior and differences between people.
    But, trust me your tongue will not stick to the pole.

    Well, I ain't Flick. So I'm not doin it.
    ...no that's fine, I'll give it a go. I just didn't try because I was afraid it would break the game or something.

    But then you guys are saying that the Tourney ROM should offer a User Records setting no matter what and that it's actually Retroarch that's somehow not showing it?

    1. When you say it "isn't there" do you mean the line is completely gone, or it is replaced with a line that says "Leave Off"? Or something else?

    It says Leave Off only. I haven't tried to change that because, well, it says Leave Off

    3. Do you mean you played the game on your Android phone, using user records, then tried to play it on your PC and you couldn't recover your game? 

    Sorry, I don't mean to be a smartass but I'll just repost my initial question:
    " The thing is that I've been playing this on Retroarch on my Android phone and having made it to the Stanley Cup, I was hoping to be able to take the save state and switch to Retroarch on my PC so I could finish this properly (if I win of course) on my TV, something I never once did on the cartridge. I'm being told by Retroarch people that an in-game save works across platforms but not save states. "

    I have ONLY been playing until now with Save States not having seen any user records option in the V3 of the "tourney" ROM

    Also, I have that SRM file. Retroarch won't acknowledge it on my PC. Gens on Android would be great, but as far as I can tell that doesn't exist.

    All I can tell you guys is that I'm playing on Retroarch and the option for user records isn't there. Now, it's possible that if i take this particular ROM and load it in Retroarch on my pc, it will set the playoff in progress. I'll try that.

    I just assumed, despite being a Gens user on my pc, that Retroarch had become the most community friendly way to play Genesis ROMs. So i went with that on my phone.

    If I had to guess: The save has a limited size, and perhaps the original game used all the bytes and it was not possible to add extra teams in the save.

    No no, I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. The game, as originally released, permitted you to save your progress through a playoff. You entered in a username and it would track your playoff for you. I'm not talking about adding teams. That way you were able to resume your playoff on another day. What I'm asking is why isn't that in the modded ROMs? Obviously someone from the community at some point took that feature out. Why, is what I'm asking?

    Thanks! Not sure though, we use F5 for savestates on both hamachi/gens and retroarch. That should work just like any other savestate, I think, but I have never tried it between two different machines.

    Right, but what I'm saying is that NHL94 has a save function in it by default doesn't it, that would store to the ROM cart? Where you would enter in your username and it would store your stats? Why is that removed from the modded ROMs?

    Fantastic ROM. I've been playing a playoff and having tons of fun. But, why is the in-game save function not included in the game? Was it removed for a reason?

    The thing is that I've been playing this on Retroarch on my Android phone and having made it to the Stanley Cup, I was hoping to be able to take the save state and switch to Retroarch on my PC so I could finish this properly (if I win of course) on my TV, something I never once did on the cartridge.

  19. Android Genesis emulator app?

    It takes some setup, but I like Retroarch. It gives you the option of adding a couple of Genesis emulators (and several others for NES, SNES, PSX etc..).

    Once set-up, you can add your roms to a folder on your phone (or SD card) and you're off.

    Like the emulators you've used on your phone, you have the option of using onscreen buttons to control, but I think you can also set-up up bluetooth controller for more serious gaming.

    Thanks! I don't know what it is about retroarch I find so difficult to get. I have no problems with it on my PS3 but on Android I find it weird. I'll try again.

  24. Other versions?

    Both ROMs, I think, are weight bug fixed. That means that the heavier guys are harder to knock over, which is opposite of the original ROM. That's why Roenick kills people and is only a 4-weight.

    This totally helps, yeah. I can't stop playing some of these updated ROMs. Amazing.
    So, what's the deal with this weight bug? I read about it here on the site. How did that happen? Do we think that was a mistake by the dev team? Did it have some intentional purpose?
