Version 6 of the UHC and Yeti ROMs are now posted. For more details on the ROMs, please see the original post. Make sure, if you are interested in downloading the ROM(s), to download one noted as "Latest Version." As with previous versions, lines/pairings are not 100% accurate so feel free to change them, as you see fit, while you play. Lastly, if you notice a mistake (handedness, jersey number, etc.), please feel free to reach out and let me know.

Hi @Justintinov Thanks for downloading it! I made mention of this in the OP (with a screenshot of the brackets). Below is that mention... New playoff scheme. I didn’t include last year’s playoff bracket – afterall, it’s not the same lineups so, it's not the same experience. Instead, I did something similar to how the NHL does preseason scheduling and broke it into different regions. It's not identical but close enough. It's not the same 16 team bracket each time so you can have a different journey with whichever team you use. If I do a playoff edition of this ROM (which is the plan for now), it will have the actual brackets for this year's upcoming playoffs (along with updated rosters). Can it/they be switched... rather easily if you download the ROM file and then download the NOSE program (for editing ROM rosters) and change/swap the teams. You can find that program at: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/forum/18-nose/ If you have any other questions or feedback, please feel free to share. Thanks!

Thanks for the additional info! Interesting and strange that it doesn't matter as it impacts Goalie OVR rating. I'm guessing it was just a programming thing that was not removed in 94? Anywho... I look forward to your continued findings!

Hi @chaos - perhaps I misunderstood your response (or the context) but, I thought the Glv/Stk ratings for goalies do matter? I thought (I read) that they determine how effective a goalie is at stopping shots at the blocker/stick side or glove side (in particular, a one-timer or slapper). When you update those attributes, in NOSE, the goalie's OVR goes up between 1-4 points suggesting it has an impact. Are you confirming that it doesn't actually do anything in NHL94?

Yes, I can post one this month. Timing wise, probably in a week or so.

Hi Flame4Life! Thank you for sharing your feedback! I appreciate the kind words! Glad to hear that you and your friend are enjoying the ROM. Thanks for downloading it!

Version 5 of the UHC and Yeti ROMs are now posted. For more details on the ROMs, please see the original post. Make sure, if you are interested in downloading the ROM(s), to download one noted as "Latest Version." Lastly, if you notice a mistake (handedness, jersey number, etc.), please feel free to reach out and let me know. Happy Holidays!

I was gonna do one (an update) in early to mid-January but, I could do one, now, given recent trades. I should have it posted in a day or two.

Nice work @Sean!

LOL! Thanks bud, I appreciate it and you are worthy! I know that this ROM doesn't have the curb appeal of say my NHL94 2025 ROM but, I still very much enjoy playing it. I'm happy to hear that others like it as well.

Done... out of the oven...

Howdy! For folks, like me, who enjoy playing a 3v3, I am posting such a version inspired by my NHL94 2025 rom and EA's "Threes." There is plenty to read below, and I realize that some may just want to get to the file. If anything, please read the “Important Notes” and skip the rest for a rainy day if you’re in a hurry. IMPORTANT NOTES: * There are 4 Period Lengths: 1, 5, 10 and Sudden Death. Credit for 3v3 OT Sudden Death goes to @Sean. He came up with the concept for his NHL Jam series (check it out, under GENS Roms, when you can). NOTE: to make it happen, as each period in this mode is zero seconds, select Sudden Death and then click Start Game > Resume Game > Resume Game > Resume Game and viola! You’ll be in sudden death OT for 5 minutes. * Due to how the game must be edited in the Hex Code, the checking line, when you play with "line changes on", becomes the top line ("Scoring Line 1”) to start each period. So, I renamed the checking line to say Ln.1 (with the Scoring Line 1 forwards and D) when editing in-game. The original Scoring 1 (Ln1) and Scoring Line 2 (Ln2) remain as such/intended. The in-game line editor and team roster view, when line changes are on, sort as Ln1, Ln2 and Ln1 for the 3 lines. Just keep that in mind when you do in-game changes. * I use the same PP and PK lines, for each instance, so I renamed them to PP and PK instead of PP1/PP2 and PK1/PK2. MORE ABOUT THE ROM: (for those curious) * 32 Teams including the Utah Hockey Club. * Each team has 5 forwards, 3 D-men and 2 goalies to choose from when editing lines. I picked those most commonly used in OT. Feel free to change the pairings as you see fit. * The game features the ability to do 4v3 powerplays. If you want to do so, you must play with penalties ON (except offsides) and play with line changes ON. It will stay as 3v3 if you play with NLC. * As with previous versions of 3v3 that I created, all skaters (minus goalies) have the position of D so that you can select whoever you want for your 3v3 combos or when you are on a 4v3 powerplay. You want 3 forwards or 3 D-men, have at it. * Penalties are 1 min in length. * You can now edit/update PP units in the game. In the past, because I would only show one Dman, if I had a second on the PP point, you couldn't see them in the Line Editor. You would have to download NOSE to see them and edit accordingly. To remedy it, I simply show 1 D and 3 wingers. This way, you can edit one of the 4 within the game. * Injuries are disabled using the hack @chaos provided on 8/30/24 (In the Gens How-To & Reference section of this site). * Every player has a hit/checking ranking of 1 and an aggression of 0. While there will still be hits and penalties, there are less than a 5v5 rom. KNOWN BUGS: (in case you notice one) * WSH/WPG Freeze Bug if you cycle player cards, on the Team Selection page, for both Washington and Winnipeg. If you use Kega Fusion, as an emulator, it will not freeze. * Player Cards are broken and will freeze due to how lineups are two missing players, on ice, per team. * If your team has two players penalized, the powerplay becomes 4 on 2. However, since penalties are only 1 min in length, it shouldn't be a big deal. It adds to the excitement. LOL * If you like to watch intermissions of other game highlights, they are also 3v3 format but, there is a "ghost" player who appears at the home team's 1st and 3rd period blue line (bottom right). It does nothing but stand still and players will skate through him. It is likely due to this ROM having 3 skaters (per team) as opposed to 5. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers! -Sauce NHL94 2025 3v3.bin

Thanks bud!

Glad to hear it's going well so far! Thanks for downloading it!

Thanks and no problem. It's a note worthy enough trade seeing as both players are starting goalies and have headshots in the game. I made the update and re-posted each (UHC and Yeti versions). I didn't re-name the files but the latest versions are posted as v4. Thanks for downloading!
