Take your time adam. On another note, I just noticed the genesis wide mode patch for the NHL games. You know what I'm gonna ask It would be sweeter than sweet.

ROR is a leaf!

I had an idea. It's kind of ridiculous but as an added feature maybe add support for CD audio, whatever the equivalent is on genesis for MSU-1 support (MSU-MD?) so the CD audio tracks from NHL 94 on Sega CD can be used.

Amazing to see that you're back! Your rom hack is the new Gold standard! Incredible stuff.

Are you serious? Sure it sucks that people are doing it but that doesn't mean you should stop posting. It's not like you get paid to do it. Let it go. People in the community will generally know who the ripoffs are. A lot of people enjoy your rom every year and look forward to it. You're gonna take that away because of 1 person? That's ridiculous.

Sorry but that box cover looks horrible. The image is too thin. It's common sense to preserve aspect ratio of image.

Why are you calling it NHL '23? It should be called NHL 95 2023. It's still NHL 95 just updated.

Re: the regular version. I like that it's harder to score. At the same time it's very difficult to score off a deke now. 95% of my goals are from "across the crease". The AI can still be cheesed that way albiet to a lesser extent. I don't know if it's possible to do anything about that but if not, no worries. Never mind. I just played some more, it was just me. I got the hang of it now. All good.

Just tried the regular version and I think you got it. The penalties are much better now I think. It feels like the AI is improved vs 5.4, maybe it's just me. All in all it feels pretty good. Nice. Trying to patch the arcade and rookie modes don't work. checksum mismatch.

I didn't even notice it was harder to score compared to the original when I tested it the other day. I just thought I was bad at the game, but in the original it's so much easier to score. Having said that I can still own the Ai 15+ to 0. lol but it's a great improvement.

I was always playing as the Leafs. I think it didn't matter what team I was against. Still a lot of penalties but I'll keep testing. I was playing for a while with Canadiens and it was a bit better. What I meant originally was ealistically the # of penalties, but maybe it's the same as the original now that I compare them side by side so whatever. Crap I was just about to test the 5.5 beta again, but realized I deleted it some days ago..

It would be nice if the game pace was a bit faster than the original without increasing penalty rate, if that's possible. The original game is pretty slow compared with 95 and up. Maybe not to 95 speed but a slight increase would be nice.

On another note, is it possible to increase the speed at which this is emulated or something? It seems to run slower than I remember it or maybe it's just me. But it would be nice to speed up the game a bit.

ok fair enough

sure I can beta test it. Is the ripple effect such a problem? Player stats should remain relatively constant I would think. Maybe sometimes a player went to sleep late or ate too much steak the day before but like you know a players stats are a players stats lol
