I plan on doing multiple versions of this, whether it's with historic duos, the World Junior Championship rosters, or just something completely different altogether, so please let me know how I can improve on this base for better gameplay and just general experience.

BOOMSHAKALAKA! NHL Jam 21 v1.4.bin v 1.4 said to never exist 11/20/20, released 11/16/20. v 1.3 released 11/12/20, removed 11/16/20, 30 downloads. v 1.2 released 11/11/20, removed 11/12/20, 17 downloads. v 1.1 Released 11/5/20, removed 11/11/20, 35 downloads. v 1.0 Released 11/4/20, removed 11/5/20, 23 downloads. Features Fast-paced, arcade-stick friendly, 2 on 2 action! 32 playable teams, with the Soviet Union acting as a placeholder for the eventual Seattle Kraken team. They're a pretty tough squad to beat since I just took the 5 best players from the Red Army team's history, so every player is 90+, and if they get hot, it's a tough match-up. Makarov, Kharlamov, and Tretiak make up their main group. Play through an 8 team playoff bracket, and then take on the Soviets at the very end to see if you have what it takes to be a champion! Like in NBA Jam TE, each team has 4 active skaters (and a goalie). The 0:00 Periods that take you straight to OT are in the game as the Sudden Death option in period length. This game is 100% mostly crash proof in normal play, which I think is somewhat nice for a 32 team and 2 on 2 ROM. No need to rush around to choose teams, or skip over the match-up screen anymore, which is nice (especially when it goes on my arcade stand). I tried to make the game feel arcadey, so the even-teams style from the normal 2 on 2 ROMs is out the window, and hot/cold is on. This also allows for handicapping if you're playing against someone worse than you (usually better than for me though ), and also gives each team/player a fun identity. I pumped this baby full of goofs, gags, and easter eggs. Some are just silly player cards, alternate jerseys, or graphics, but others may require a little bit of line editing to find... Required Thank Yous @smozoma was a big help in hunting down a lot of the hex values that needed to be changed, and answered a lot of my questions along the way. SmozROM and EARE also are always a big help on a project like this! @slapshot67 made the 32-team ROM base, which makes this possible in the first place. @Sauce's 2020 Playoff ROM was the working base for this since I had been slowly chipping away at it since summer, so a lot of the graphics were already there for me! Known Bugs The Sudden Death game style doesn't work in the playoffs, because of how the game treats OT compared to the Regular Season mode. There were some compromises to crash proof the game. The Player Cards screen on the in-game menu will crash the game. It has been changed to "DON'T OPEN", just to make sure it's avoided. Names show up twice on the main menu, because of the way that the Winnipeg Freeze Bug had to be stopped. Couldn't get rid of one without getting rid of the other either. Noted hockey expert Lazlow Holmes will not tell you who is hot or cold, since the game would sometimes try to pick player slots that didn't exist, crashing the game. The bonuses are still on, and you see them under the player image, just he won't tell you. Some of the center ice logos (Chicago and Ottawa come to mind) could be better. If you find anything at all, such as a bugged player card, incorrect number, or just want to complain, let me know.

Yes, but the player card is bugged if you only use EARE, so you have to set it manually. Also, I was wrong about positions, EARE will automatically just add the players you put in NLC to the screen, so 3 on 3 and so on will work. Post edited accordingly.

Hi all, With some pretty heavy training wheels from Smozoma, we found the RAM offset that controls how many player cards scroll on the main screen, which I then turned into ammo to tackle the Ron Barr screen and stop 2 on 2 crashes. Menu Screen F8908 is the offset (sometimes it's a little off), and in the base ROM it'll be 06, which gives the ROM time to display an entire normal ROM's starting line-up. For me, I'm working on a 2 on 2 hack, so this wouldn't suffice, so I had to change it to 03, which would only show the left wing, center, and goalie. The value literally is just the amount of players you want to show. 01 is 1 (which will be just the goalie), 02 is 2, and so forth. The way this works is pretty simple, it just counts the players who are assigned player cards in order. It's an upper limit, counting the player cards in order, as opposed to acting as a count itself like the Ron Barr screen. It will pull whatever players are tied to player cards, so if you used EARE, I would cap it at players who had starting line-up slots so you don't get bugged cards. Ron Barr Screen FD4B9 is the offset, and in your original ROM, it should say something like 04 03 05 01 02 00, all of which correspond to positions. 04 is C, 03 is LW, 05 is RW, 01 is LD, 02 is RD, and 00 is G. You can't get rid of values, you just have to replace them. Basically just put these in the order you need, and edit the hex text related to what position the game spits out when the match-up comes up. I went 04 03 00, so I had to edit the right forward to say goalie, and the left defenseman to say center, the right defenseman to say wing, and goalie stayed as is. If you have any questions, let me know.

Mine will only play Mutant League Hockey. She doesn't want to hear me talk about how great Pavel Bure is for an hour.

My friends and I like San Jose VS Anaheim (embracing the suck, and also a nice Cali rivalry), and Hartford VS Quebec for maximum 90s effect.

The amount of detail you squeeze in blows me away every time. And now that all the ROMs are made, you could do it every year with just a few roster and player card changes!

How's the mission to make every league in the world playable in NHL 94 going? Amazing as always.

Should I pull an EA and market a bug as a feature?

Kim Jong-Un VS The NHL All-Stars When did I make it? Summer 2020 What are the rosters? Fictional (Placeholders, NHL Players, Politicians) I based this one on North Korean sports propaganda, but mainly this parody here. I understand if people don't like this one, but I just wanted a ROM to practice with a shitty slow team in, and had just talked about their propaganda machine with a friend, so I thought this was the perfect way to do so. This was the first "micro" hack I did, and I really like the small bite size format, so I'm definitely thinking about more of these in the future. Kim Jong Un vs The NHL All-Stars.bin

NHL 21 Rewind (NHL 21 Update with 94-style graphics) When did I make it? Fall 2020 What are the rosters? 2020-21 NHL Rosters I really love this one, I think it gives infinitely more charm to the game with the 90s logos and graphics. Ratings/rosters/player cards are still WIP. NHL 21 Rewind.bin

NHLPA '93 Roster Update When did I make it? Summer 2020 What are the rosters? 2019-20 NHL Rosters Literally just an NHLPA '93 Roster Update. It's alright at best. NHL Rivals 2020.bin

ROM from my senior year of high school. When did I make it? Winter 2019 What are the rosters? 2019-20 NHIAA Rosters Special place in my heart since last year was likely the last time I will play hockey competitively. There's not much reason to download this unless you know me personally I made myself the title screen/athlete since I started it my junior year when I was a 4th liner, so it was a lot funnier to have the cover athlete be a 30 overall. Sean Moriarty Hockey 20 - Winter Update.bin

My poor attempt at a G.O.A.T. rosters ROM hack. When did I make it? Spring 2020 What are the rosters? "All-Time" NHL Rosters I cut corners on the ratings so everyone is about the same. The rosters are a bit iffy at best. I'd go as far as to say they're bad, actually. This is one I might revisit and try to seek some more public opinions on rosters. Any team that was founded after Maybe use best individual seasons, kind of like how NBA 2k MyTeam does their things (you get a 2015-16 Lebron James instead of just Lebron James, and so on) NHL 94 (Legends) - GENS.bin

I love 3 on 3, and grew up playing it, so I combined it with the core ideas from the EASHL player classes to build a balanced rom. When did I make it? Spring 2018 (?) What are the rosters? Placeholders. Literally all identical teams with different graphics Borrowed from the short-lived WHA reboot. It's pretty fact paced, balanced gameplay, but in all honesty doesn't have a lot of charm. 3on3Final.bin

The next one I could find (I'm sure there was a whole lot of absolute s**t between this one and the first one, just never uploaded it) When did I make it? Spring 2018 What are the rosters? Mighty Ducks Triology Fictional Rosters This one is actually pretty good, it's a full fledged remake of the "big games" from the old Mighty Ducks movies. I'm not quite sure what else is playable, but the playoff mode should let you run through a "story" mode for each movie. This one stands out since some podcasters actually talked about it, and I saw people playing it on Facebook Live at one point. I've thought about going back to this one, probably would kick everything over to the 32-team rom and work at it a bit differently. MightyDucksHockey.bin

The first ROM hack I ever made, NHAHA 13 When did I make it? Summer 2013 What are the rosters? 2012-13 NHAHA Rosters Bare bones ROM hack that I thought about going back and "remastering", which is what led to this thread Rosters "reflect" my U10 league I was playing in. A few generous ratings to friends on my team and others, a few spiteful ones to kids I didn't like. There are no graphical changes other than uniforms. This is the beginning of my ROM hacking "career", and there was nowhere to go but up. NHAHA13.bin

Hi all! I've been thinking of starting a thread like this for a while, mostly to be a self-serving journal of all of my ROMs. I wanted to set up a place to track my progress and see how things improve over time, put all of my project, keep a record of what projects got to what point, and also act as a back-up incase my computer dies, since I haven't uploaded all of my projects here. Attached in each post is a .bin file, and a brief description of the ROM. There's some goodies that never made it onto the site, and some pretty weird stuff, so I figure I My goal is to add something to this once or twice a month, since I want to make some more ROM hacks since I have nothing but time on my hands as a student during a pandemic. edit: "retired" now, but thankful I made this to back up some other stuff I never posted because my last laptop died. forever grateful for the effort that goes into maintaining storage and access for this site/community.

This forum and its members have made more fun games than EA this past year.

And of course I didn't even post the best ROM in a 12-hour span Awesome work as usual!

As soon as I uploaded it, I didn't like it. I'm going to leave it up, by I'm likely going to put out a 1.1 within the next few days with some minor ratings and sound adjustments (my stupid ass tested with sound off, and didn't realize the organ songs were off!)

Hi all, I wasn't really satisfied with the news so far on NHL 94 Rewind, and while I was complaining to a friend, he said "you couldn't do any better". I took it as a challenge, and spent the better part of a week, and anytime I could turn my camera off during Zoom classes on this baby right here. 1.0 Notes 31 NHL teams, all in the style they were in 1993-94, or at the very least, with a bit of retro flair. 1 team of all-stars from NHL 94, with 20 players all representing a different team. Not always the highest overall player, but just someone I thought would be fun. 5 Easter Egg players. To Do: Smozoma gave me some tips a few days to potentially conquer the mighty Winnipeg Freeze Bug...... I'll try my hand at it this week. Update rosters, lines, and player cards once the season begins. Add more challenging content over time, potentially over the All-Star team. Try my best to rip the actual NHL 94 Rewind ROM from the game. End Credits I used @Sauce's playoff ROM as a base, so some ratings overlap since I really like the way he structures things, and it uses @clockwise's sprite patch. @slapshot67 gave us the 32-team ROM, so always need to thank him when the opportunity arises. SportsLogos.net and NHLUniforms.com were very helpful for this project. I hope you enjoy, and have a little bit of 90s themed fun. Any and all feedback is welcome. NHL21Rewind1.0.zip

Awesome! It's not the most efficient, but if it works, it works. If your ROMs can somehow get even more immersive, I am certainly all for it.

Not the most exciting way, but just a loophole I thought might work: Set up first round as A vs A, A vs A, B vs B, B vs B, C vs C, C vs C, D vs D, and D vs D Program the 0-second periods/instant overtime hack in as an option Player plays the OT, even if they lose they'll stay in because the game will recognize their selected team and keep them Real games would start in Round 3, with A vs B and C vs D, where player would then be able to play with real periods I haven't tested it since it was just an idea off the dome, but it seems like it might work.
