Question: What does this do?

0FFAD8:6008 Master Code, required to work

It's working fine for me without that code when modifying the ROM, so I am wondering if that change is really necessary, or at least, what that's all about.

Are you sure? I get a black screen without the master code.

 

What does it do, someone on sega-16 said:

"The master code changes the compare condition to avoid the original command that hangs the program execution."

I guess you can could only use value 28, half the intro time.

Attached are 3 patches for quicker NHL94 intros (ea sports & high score)!

What does it do? It lowers the two intro duration timer values.

To immediate skip, slightly quicker or half the duration.

 

Or as Game Genie codes:

0FFAD8:6008 Master Code, required to work, black screen without
0FEE2C:0050 EA Sports intro screen, 50 is default timer setting
017AAC:0050 High Score developer logo, 50 is default timer setting

Immediate skip (Decrypted):
0FFAD8:6008
017AAC:0000
0FEE2C:0000

Just faster skip (Decrypted):
0FFAD8:6008
017AAC:0008
0FEE2C:0008

Half the intro time (Decrypted):
0FFAD8:6008
017AAC:0028
0FEE2C:0028

Immediate skip (Encrypted):

Can't really screen shot this, but another heads up, I noticed, for 98 at least, that players tend to disappear when they get too close to the edge of the screen. My guess is that while the background is displaying at the wider resolution, the area in which the player sprites load and unload remain the same as the default version. Haven't decided if that is too jarring yet, but I think I'm going to use it anyway...

Try re-downloading, i updated the roms with version 1.1, from the readme:

 

Changes in version 1.1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed NPC sprites disappearing at the very edge of the screen.

Hello, first post! Not sure if everyone saw, but paul_met over at romhacking released wide mode hacks for NHL 94/95/96/97 & 98, these are not widescreen hacks, but wide mode hacks, which change the game resolution from 256x224 to 320x224, still a native Genesis resolution, so it still works in all the usual Genesis emulators.

The attached widemode.7z (updated) below includes the patches themselves and pre-patched roms: 

Patches can be also found on: meduza-team.ucoz.net

* note: the nhl 94 patch doesn't work on expanded 2MB roms yet, needs adaptation
