    They released Nintendo games yesterday which included ice hockey and Tecmo bowl and it was for online play. 

    Snes games can’t be to far behind And sega games will be there as well

    No nhl94 however  but I  suppose a glimmer of me had hope that maybe we could get it since Tecmo bowl made it in

     

     

     

    I doubt nhl94 will ever be rereleased due to licensing issues and EA. Tecmo bowl does not use the real players names on the rerelease, only their numbers.

    ..for someone to make a version of NOSE for Mac? I tried using Wine to run NOSE, but the application won't load due to a missing step- the extraction of the nose.exe.manifest file.

    Install Virtual Box, download (illegally) a copy of Win 2000 or Win XP, install Win 2k or XP in Virtual Box, and run NOSE in there. It works for me. (Virtual Box is free).

     

    Then you can create a shared folder between the Win install and Mac, and transfer files that way.

    this is excellent work, although I cant get it working on my windows 7 home 64bit, I get the "NHL94 Stat extractor v0.1has stopped working"

    will this support 30-32 team roms?

    Interesting, it works on mine. Let me check.

    Yes, I'm using the pointer table to get the home and away teams, so as long as that is correct it will work.

    Is it an issue with the installer or the program?

  4. TOOL: NHL '94 Offline Stat Extractor

     

    Current Version :  0.1.1 (08/15/2018)

     

     

    This tool, given a ROM and a save state (made at the appropriate time), will extract the data to an Excel-style (.xls) Spreadsheet similar to the box score on nhl94online.com

    How it works: 

    Main Screen.png

     

    Very simple. Choose the ROM that you used to play the game. Enter the period length of the game that was played (default is 5 min, in increments of 1 min). Choose the save state to extract the stats from. Click on "Extract to XLS..." and a pop-up window will ask you where you would like to save the file to, and what you would like to name it. The program will extract the data to the spreadsheet. The .xls file can be opened with any spreadsheet program (MS Excel, OpenOffice Calc, Mac Numbers, etc). 

     

    When making the save state, the save should be made when the "Three Stars" screen pops up, or the Final Game Summary Screen ("where you have the Exit Game option").

     

    System Requirements:

    - Windows XP or later (32 or 64-bit)

    - Currently supports only Gens emulator saves (see below)

     

    Future Additions:

    Add batch save state uploading, appending to one workbook (next version ~ 1 week from now)

    - Add ZSNES and RetroArch save state compatibility (next version ~ 1 week from now)

    - Add formula fields instead of all text fields (so if changes are made, they will update the appropriate stats (ex. GAA for goalies))

    - Mac version (once I figure out how to make an installer)

     

    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I will try to accommodate them.

     

    Version History:

    v0.1 - Initial

    v0.1.1 - Fixed divide by zero bug

     

    Download installer (v0.1.1):

    #1 Anyone have info on locations/how to remove positions from showing up on the ice?  I would like to just have the players number.

    #2 Why will NHLPA 93 30 team hacks not play on my Everdrive?

    #3 Anyone know of a trustworthy place to have NES Toploader modded for AV hook ups?

     

    #2 - Check that the ROM has a header. Compare the first 500 bytes of the custom rom to the original ROM

    #3 - Send it to me, I'll do it for free. I've done my own before, parts are real cheap, I have them laying around.

    Quick update, 90% of the stuff is done, just need to set it up to export it to a CSV file. Prob an hour of work left, all the hard stuff is done. I'll have it up tomorrow

    So Excel thinks some of the data is in Date format. Gonna need another day, so close. I found another way to do it, instead of CSV file I will make an XLS file.

  7. When you are using NOSE to edit rosters, please make sure you update the number of F and D on the team. This can be done by hitting the "Apply" button on the menubar. If you do not do this, the game will think there are 15 defensemen (F in hex) available. I'm not sure how this will affect gameplay (it probably won't), but please do this step, especially if you want to use the offline stat extractor program (to be released soon!)

    @chaos any update for extractor? :)

     

    I apologize. I have a rough draft of what needs to be done but got carried away with another project (RetroArch). I will work on it this week (I already started some, just didn't finish it up).

    What emulator are you using?

    I plan on making it available to extract stats from RetroArch, ZSNES, Gens, but if there is a specific one you use I'll do the work for that one first, then add the rest later.

    But why would I not want a button that instantly closes the emulator even if I'm in the middle of a game?

    No, by mistake, I had it assigned to a controller button by accident, and left that in the config. I must have changed it back after I uploaded it. You can assign it yourself if you'd like in Input Hot Key Binds. It was causing conflicts depending on what else you assigned that button to. I think it was button 6 on the controller (all controllers are different). Just so happened on Ice's controller, his button 6 was Start, so whenever he hit Start, it would exit the program, even though he assigned the Start button to the Start input. 

  10. Bump, made some updates. Download Genesis Plus GX and PicoDrive from the Sega section in "Download Cores...". Also, please use the "retroarch.cfg" file I posted in one of the top two posts. This will have everything pretty much set up for you when it comes to program settings.

  11. Hi Guys,

    So I would like to start using Picodrive as the preferred Genesis core in RetroArch for netplay.

    There are a few advantages and disadvantages between using Genesis Plus GX and Picodrive:

        PicoDrive:										Genesis Plus GX:
    
    - Cross-platform play compatible						- Only PC vs PC, Mac vs Mac
    	(Macs and PCs can play each other)
        
    - Smaller save states (~148kb), which means					- Large save states (1mb) 
    	better Netplay reliability
    
    - Emulation similar to Gens							- Emulation similar to real hardware
    
    - No 4-way play (no 2vs2)							- 4-way play and Team Player compatible
    
    
    Both are able to load a save state during netplay, and also allow reconnection during any point of the game (no need to reset if you desync).
     

     

    What's nice is you can have both downloaded, and use whichever one you want without having to close RetroArch. 

    Download the cores from the Main Menu->Load Core->Download Core... and go down to the Sega section. Download both (or whichever one you don't have already), load the core, then load the ROM. Once you do this action once, you can use the "Load Recent" in the Main Menu, and it will have 2 listings of the ROM, one with each core. Try it out!
