This doesn't work with the .ini file I have in NOSE, would you mind sharing yours?

@seamorJust a quick question...how do you get the default to be only 2 players? Considering for the NHL95 versions of games. If your okay with it.
When editing lines in NOSE, set everyone except the G, LW, and C to HEX 0, leaving the spot empty. If you'd like to send over a ROM via PM, I can try to get the edit lines and player card limit stuff working to make it as crash proof as possible.

OK, that makes sense. I hadn't seen that in so long that I forgot about it.
Would you be open to suggestions for more easter egg players for v1.1? That was half the fun for me, outside of playing it.
PM'ed you, reply to me with any ideas! I'm also making a few more spin-offs since this is actually a project for a PiCade I'm building, so even if they don't go in here, they'll see daylight eventually!

v 1.0 Released 11/3/20, removed 11/4/20, 23 downloads.
Features
- 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.
- 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 comprimises 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.

Cool. Congrats on your rom release!
Thanks!

@seamor
Use this link to resolve the crashing. It's what I used on my 3on3 roms. It works.I just dug up the solution you sent me via PM to fix line change crashing and added it to that thread.

No problem, easy fix!

This is from an old conversation between @Sauce and I figured it belonged here.

That said, I'm curious about the one in Montreal. Or more specifically, how you arrived at putting him in Montreal. Because I totally get why you would put him in here somewhere.
This is why.
37 minutes ago, DeterminedApathy said:Oh, and I should point out that trying to edit lines with line changes on crashes the game but that probably shouldn't have surprised me with the roster setups, hah
Thanks for letting me know, I'll have a 1.1 out soon!

I think the Tuukka Rask photo is my favorite.
That's one of my favorites too!
Glad to hear someone else is enjoying the ROM, it's been an idea I've had for a long time. I love 2 on 2 and 3 on 3, and figured 2 on 2 would be perfect for to try my hand at since I'm currently building an arcade stand for my house.
-
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.

Can you increase past 6?
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.

My Missus has a tendency to play as the sharks or Hartford... When she plays as SA, I'll take Ottawa - worst goal-tending in the game. When she's Hartford, I've always found my Oilers to be a fair match up, but I also have a tendency to go for the nineties vibe with Quebec.
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.

I've crossed the Atlantic and leagues are getting smaller. Winter is coming and I've got nowhere to go. I may make it further than I originally thought...
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.

superb Rom seamor - just some feedback - one bug happened twice playing the CPU (as All Stars 94) (me Tampa) in the "Challenge" Final - an Allstar 94 player sent to the bench for a foul - as he took his place on the bench this happened - but the rom is good and i feel somehow the CPU plays tougher than traditional 94'
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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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.
