  1. I'll offer a place holder if / when AJ chimes in... I had the Jet's in the last classic season for Genesis and SNES and I did phenomenally well - don't bother to check the standings - I swear. As such, I am qualified.

    Analysis:

    • Davydov is better than Zhamnov. Davydohas double 'v's. Zhamnov. Has one 'v'. V's are for very good. Hence, Davydov is very, very good and has a better shot and takes some pressure off of Teemu.
    • You can let off some Steen, and I sure do. As in, "let's leave Steen off the top line," again for Davydov; he's in every way better than Steen. If I had to vote in an election and Steen was on the ballot, I would write in DaVydoV.
    • Luciano Borsato has ties. What kind you ask? IDK exactly but you should buy a pint of Borsato's Gelato so nobody get's hurt. In SEGA, he is a fierce weight bug threat and is the resident hit-man for the Jets. No, 'v's but three 'o's. As in 'o' s**t here he come with a weight-bug-body-check to you, through the boards.
    • Phil Housekey unlocks offense from the blue line. He is a one-trick pony and is meant for fanciful dipsy doodles so that Teemu and Davydov can get open. He's a 4th forward out there. Phil doesn't play defense; nobody got time for that, if you're Phil, that is.
    • Teppo, or as Jerry Seinfeld says, "Numminen," is an all around solid, serviceable rear-guard. He is a Finnish legend, like Teemu, and before you body check someone head-first into the boards, it's appropriate to yell, "Finnish him!". Also, I remember Chaos saying something about countrymen get a happy bonus if they're on the ice together. Or it could'a be someone else, I don't know. Fact is, Teemu just feels better with Teppo out there since they're both Finnish, and as we know, we gotta keep Teemu happy. As Teemu goes, so do the Jets.

    Have this persistent issue with RetroArch where every time I play a different version I have to update my controls. 

    If I play with Genesis and save a remap file, I just load that when playing Genesis? If I'm playing SNES, I just load that? Isn't this supposed to work or am I missing something?

    I swear I'm not crazy - for this reason - but every time I switch playing one version over the other I have to redo all the binds again and it's maddening. 

    Having to replug / unplug one every time isn't civilized.

    Instructions: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/14217-nose-12b-download/

    (sorry for the confusion of there being multiple pages)

    If it's installed correctly and the error is coming up.. sorry, not sure how to get around it :(

    Ran into this using Windows on a partition, SSD (iMac). Will report back if I have any thing helpful for this issue.

    Gents, maybe I can help point in the right direction.   A while back @clockwise worked with Kaneda to make a hack to have the "Y" button be a dedicated goalie change button for Sega.  

     

    While I haven't gotten into it myself, I imagine you could find/use the information to enable the extra button.  I would guess there is a command to jump to a routine when the button is pressed, in this case switch to goalie, or more accurately the goalie control button with zero delay. 

    Could this then be switched to "initiate line changes", assuming you can locate that function?   I think that'd be a good start.  Simultaneously disable holding A.  

    It's probably more difficult than I am making it out to be, but I am hoping it helps.  Ideally you could improve and make the X or Z button be dedicated for the line change.  

    Kinda expected the goalie control button to be used in more leagues, and had plans to have the 'X' button be dedicated to line changes, but lost interest since I figured it would probably be used even less than the goalie control button is in online games.

    Have a few big '94 projects going right now, some known, others Superunknown (great album), but when those are over and done with I think this is worth revisiting.

    I have no opinion on the jerseys really... BUT regarding this: 

    I was struggling to understand what you were saying exactly, but I think I got it now. However, I thought of a third option during that struggle that I thought would be kind of cool. You can make a Canadian vs. USA ROM with the REAL names of players from the community. Nerfs and boosts can be given to further equalize play a bit more. Then a best of 13 tournament where it's 2v2, but 5 on 5, where the coaches need to play with themselves in the lineup, but the other 3 spots can be chosen by the away team first, and then the home team gets to choose players to try to best negate. 

    I imagine this being HIGHLY competitive, thought-provoking, and entertaining to witness. Therefore, it will never happen ... unless ... by some *miracle* ... Wait, is that ... Jesus?! @clockwise you're the only person that could pull this off.

    Yeah, I was kinda being cute about it, sorry if I was confusing... I thought equal ratings on the ROM kept it more skill centric but apparently some guys won't play because they like when skaters have different ratings. I get that. 

    I think that idea is great. Seems like more guys get up for the USA & Canada battles more than anything else, since you're gonna be a King in the spring we should try to figure something out 2on2 there.

    and I'm #4, LH, LD! that's where I've played 99% of my thousands of real life hockey games, so in any ROM, that's where I hope I'll find me.

    Got it.

    Gentlemen. My name is Bobby Paffile. I’ve been playing NHL since I got it as a 13 year old and discovered Brass Bonanza and the mighty Hartford Whalers. Anywho. I’m banging my head against the wall trying to get this motherf**** to work and I’m at a loggerheads. At this point I’d be willing to mail my Genesis cartridge to a sympathetic member if one of y’all can get this to work. Willing to give you any sort of fair remuneration. Anyway, have a great day and go Whalers.

    Welcome!

    You should join us on Discord. It's easier to help walk you though getting setup if you want to play online, and it's how pretty much everyone communicates and plays league games and stuff like that.

    Just download the app for desktop or mobile, here: https://discord.gg/kvYSWWC 

  7. It's pretty well known that everyone isn't a huge fan of equalized ratings for the older 2on2 ROMS ,which were really designed for leagues and tournaments.
    As such, all skaters and goalies will have ratings to reflect their career-highs, in terms of ratings and stats. 

    Coaches for team USA and team Canada will have equalized ratings for public tournaments to keep things on the level.

    Weight and agility affect your acceleration, speed is just the players top speed. a lighter player with 4 Agl will get to top speed quicker that a heavier player with 4 Agl.

    Right.

    What I was really driving at is agility isn't as important for players who are lighter.

  9. Non-technical comment here, but weight (in Genesis) offsets agility. To exactly what degree / equivalent, I don't know. 

    EX: A 180 Lb skater with 3 (47-62) agility, roughly feel likes / behaves likes like, a 230 Lb skater with with 5 agility (81-98). Or something like that. 

    Don't know if this is factored into the current draft leagues spread sheets or not.

    The warp on that passhot at 1:59!

    2:09 noice

    1:59 is none other than Icestorm. Don't know anyone else who can do pass shots like he can.

    Kidswasted said that Icestorm also did that suicide pass to him for the goal at 2:09, but I swear that was me that delivered the pass and lined up for the goal. Not sure who it was, I guess.

    This is for what you'll try to achieve for the on-ice unis?

    the hockey canada (player in maple leaf) logo should be the logo.

    Correct. And the team logo for 2on2, Canadian Legends.

    If we have space you can probably be goalie and forward.

    • Team Canada, please select your uniforms.You can have a of mix home / away eras as well.
      • If you want to select a captain, that's cool, too.
      • If you do see this in time, before the ROM is finished, I would appreciate your handedness and jersey # as well. Otherwise, they will be determined for you.

    @smozoma @halifax @Sebe_The_Legend @Freydey @HABS @danTML7 @jer_33 

    I can't find everyone's user name from memory, but any other Canadian born, 2on2-player is welcome to chime is as well and it would be appreciated.

    Just wondering what I’m doing wrong, I’m trying my hand at creating a custom rom hack and I did the logos in 8x8 fashion. Inserted my bmp file placed it in the correct spots the 6x4 layout. Can’t figure out how to get the logos to lineup as well as once I figure out the placement I get these horizontal lines.

    thankshttps://imgur.com/a/dW450V6

    Can you share a screen shot of the logo loaded properly in TM? It's difficult to make out what the issue is if I can't see the logo & palette in there. 

    If you need help with how to load the palette / offset for ice logos, let us know.

  14. 1st post has been updated. 31 teams are set. 3 are on the bubble with one slot remaining. Leaning toward Vegas as they have a cup. 

    Next up is logos: Use the most iconic ones for each franchise? Could also do the matchup-screen logo different from the center ice logo, it's on the table but I can't think of a good reason why. 

    Also, uniforms: Could use the best kits from each teams era, or combine ones from different eras. EX: Buffalo could have a blue / gold uniform for home but black / red (Buff-a-goat) for away.

    EDIT: unis will be home whites for all teams unless someone has a good reason otherwise.
