    Hahahaha.

     

    Those who downloaded the previous one, use this new one I just updated (7/6/19 - ends in fix2). I fixed the checksum (previous worked for me, rexershow said it didn't work for him). This should work for everyone.

    *noob alert* so how does the actual connection work, is someone hosting via dc? if so don't you need to set up port forwarding and all that?

    Yeah, this is covered in another thread - 

     

     

    The host is the only one who needs to have set up port forwarding. Anyone can connect to the host.

  3. This includes all teams and rosters up to the end of Round 13 of draft.

    Note: Graphics are not done, but team names are correct.

    Please check your team's rosters (remember, they will only include players you drafted up to and including Round 13).

    Also, before playing, set your lines.

    Here is the full thread on goal records. Do we suck or something?

    No penalties means they can't even B check.

    Bro, they even knew checks after the whistle counted before we did! - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rec.games.video.sega/v8sjLlD-JIk/discussion

    I bet the guy who holds the body check record is actually Carse

    I couldn't get the links to work. 71 goals with the leafs vs Hawks is impossible.  Maybe in SNES? 

    I spent my trip home reading through some and I definitely want to highlight some of these in a new forum thread.

    Lots of complaints on crease cut, and I saw someone post about pass shots.  They've been around since '94! 

    I fixed the links. No clue what I did

    The usenet threads are an amazing treasure trove of information.  I was just reading through some of them and it's great.  

    Here is a link to the release date one that you mentioned: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.video.sega/geicW6XI1ts/V4wtLHV_XIIJ

    Here is the first realization of the weight bug, where a guy notices that Gretzky can really hit: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rec.games.video.sega/Ir--lOfmwqQ/fnSSjUWD0QQJ

    I love it all...will scan through and make a separate post to archive what was being said when this came out, which is undoubtedly Sep 24.  As mentioned previously, the ROM header has JUL'93.  Assume that is when the game was finished and it took 1-2 months of production to get the game ready for release.  

     

    This guy had 71 goals playing the Leafs against the Hawks - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.video.sega/7DYXsG-tSVw/FGUwUsdKKY8J

     

    Some good advanced strategy here - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rec.games.video.sega/DWTEcMAMLDM/discussion

     

    This guy picked it up the night of 9/22 - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.video.sega/Zh35ZFAxXG4/s-Sg-t8ogrcJ

     

    This guy got it 9/23 - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.video.sega/_qN5O4EyA4M/6BgjeHTb7LMJ

     

    Looks like the day it came out depended on where you lived.

    There's A LOT of good stuff in the usenet.

  7. EDIT 11/14/2020 - This has changed much since the original write-up was done. I updated it to RetroArch version 1.8.8. 

     

    This is a guide to setting up 4-way play on RetroArch. Useful for the 2on2 ROM.

    The 2on2 ROM for both Genesis and SNES are included with the RetroArch package that you can find on nhl94online.com.

    Please make sure you have loaded the ROM at least once before (Load Core->Genesis Plus GX or Snes9x, then Load Content->Start Directory->Genesis or Super Nintendo->2on2 ROM).

    The person hosting should have direct connect set up. This will give the smoothest connection for everyone. This also allows you to swap teammates and reset the game if there is a crash while keeping everyone connected.

    Both Genesis and SNES will be covered in this guide.

     

    Step 1: Set Controls

    Load the 2on2 ROM. Once it is running, access the Quick Menu (by going to Command->Menu Toggle on the Menu Bar or pressing F1 key), and go down to "Controls", then select "Port 1 Controls".

     

    Controls.png

    In the Controls window, change "Device Type", using the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard, to "MD Joypad 3 Button + 4-WayPlay" for Genesis, and leave it as "SNES Joypad" for SNES. Hit backspace, and choose "Port 2 Controls". Set "Device Type" to "MD Joypad 3 Button + 4-WayPlay" for Genesis, and set it to"Multitap" for SNES.

    Step 2: Check 4 Player Setting

    Once done with Step 2, you will need to "Restart" the game (Quick Menu->Restart). For Genesis, goto the Game Setup screen and see if you can set the "Players" to "Four" :

    For SNES, choose your teams and settings, hit Start, and make sure there are 5 stars shown on the "Player Select" screen:

    If you are successful, move to Step 4. If not, recheck the Port Control settings.

    Step 4: Save Game Remap File

    Once you are successful, you can save the Game Remap File, which will save the User Device Types specific to this game. This way you don't need to set it up every time, and you don't need to worry about changing it back when playing normal netplay.

    With the game still loaded (don't quit the game, or else the settings above will go back to default!), go to Quick Menu->Controls->Save Game Remap File". A message will pop up that the file has been saved.

    Now, when you load the 2on2 ROM, it will automatically load the Game Remap File (and your 4-WayPlay/Multitap setup)! This way, you will not have to redo this and undo it every time you decide to play. So, you only need to go through this setup once.

     

    Step 5: Start Netplay and Play

    Start Netplay as you usually would (Main Menu->Netplay->Host->Start Netplay Host). This can be done before loading the ROM, or after (go to Quick Menu, go back a few times to the Main Menu). Then, once you hosting and the ROM is loaded, have the other players connect to you.

    In Genesis, Players 1 and 3 are the Home team, 2 and 4 are the Away team. To switch players, press the "i" key to "leave the game". Then the "i" key should be pressed in the order of players. (Example: If player 2 and 3 "leave the game", and Player 2 wants to be Player 3, Player 3 wants to be Player 2, Player 3 presses "i" key first, then Player 2 presses the "i" key. Now they are swapped.)

  8. SNES Playoffs

    Eastern Conference

    #1 - 1st Round Bye - LA (annatar)

    #2 - 1st Round Bye - BOS (BobKudelski26)

    #3 - NYR (Kingraph) vs #6 - QUE (BlackDevil19)

    #4 - VAN (koke45) vs #5 - STL (dethrox)

     

    Western Conference

    #1 - 1st Round Bye - TOR (MikeGartner22)

    #2 - 1st Round Bye - CHI (schwartz)

    #3 - PIT (jer_33) vs #6 - MTL (combustiblecam)

    #4 - DET (Bad Moon Rison) vs #5 - CGY (Acadius)

     

    Seeding based on Win Pct%. Points got you into the playoffs.

    I did not apply NPs this season due to the trouble some people are having with RetroArch. But, even with NPs applied, the same guys would be in. Instead, I took dethrox (32 GP) and schwartz (27 GP) and knocked them down a seed.  The 2 conferences work as a "SNES-A and SNES-B" kinda deal.

    1 week deadline for the 1st round matchups. Good luck!!!

  9. Due to the fact that the site was down for a week or so, I've decided to extend the season another week. So, the regular season will now end Monday, January 28th.

    I apologize for the problems this season, hasn't been the smoothest running (RetroArch, site down, etc). I appreciate everyone sticking with it and try and get those games in!

  10. Hi Guys,

    For the past few days there has been an issue with uploading games. It has to do with the server denying permission to save the game. @Evan is looking into it for us.

    For now, keep your saves. You can change the filenames so you don't lose track of them (i.e. MTLvsBOS), but keep the file extension as is.
