We've played a few, too. I don't remember at all who did what, but am really happy you're here and I hope you stick around forever.

Bought a bunch. They're great controllers.

The Retrobit, licensed Saturn ones are awesome, too. I have to figure out how to get them going on a Genesis.

Live 2on2 is the apex of NHL'94 for me.  

Does my heart good to hear the champ say this. I've always felt, in a way, like 2on2 was a my sideshow creation that needed to be kept in the dark. 

The whole, pay-to-play thing will have to be up to Hali, but, as stated above, I'll bring whatever is needed. 

I hope we can get 6 teams for each console. That would be incredible to see.

Is there a thread with a complete guide of how this league works? I'd like to make sure I know everything before we start.

Going through this thread, seeing some of the guys who have come and gone... Time flies. Damn.

Hi everyone. Happy to be joining this year's league. Dantml7 is my brother.

Welcome my good dude.

We've had a few brothers, here; most notably @Carse & @Bo Knows NHL94. 

• Will be creating a custom ROM with equalized ratings, containing all of the attendees for both consoles.
• Plan is to have at least 2 consoles going, so, 8 players being able to play at once, minimum, to help speed up the tournament.
• undecided on the # of games each team should play to qualify for the playoffs, but I feel like the championship should be first-to-4, best-of-7.
• I will be providing the awards for all 4 coaches.
• @corbettkb suggested having the SNES tournament on Genesis day and the Genesis tournament on the SNES day so it doesn't interfere with the KO94 bracket play. Which is a great idea and hopefully we can have more guys stay for both days as a result.

Never to early to start planning. I already have my bags by the door.

Just a heads up for Gens: Razmataz_FlankSteak is actually Segathong. We played 5 or 6 games so he's good to go.

This works with the 32 team versions that are out there correct?

This patch was developed before the 32-team ROM, and I've never tested it myself.

It does work with the original, unedited ROM, and the 30-team ROM.

Weird. I used NOSE to update the NHL11 - 14 ROMS I did. They have the 0-15 rating scale.

Wish I could find the .ini files.

Wow, nice! Thanks so much for sharing this, I'll have  to try it out when I have time. Big fan of 2002.

@smozoma can these be attached to a topic in the NOSE sub-forum somewhere for quick reference? That'd be great. 

Have to defer to @slapshot67 as I'm not familiar with the ROM at all. 

It's right under your NOSE.

 

Reminds me of the time my dad took me to Disney Land in Atlantic City. You never get over these types of things.

Looks like the game kept going for you, or did it crash when the 3rd period started? It crashed as soon as I resumed the game for me. 

Just a heads up for Gens: Razmataz_FlankSteak is actually Segathong. We played 5 or 6 games so he's good to go.

Time to you quit your job.  You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. 

My last name is Modano as well, so, I kinda feel obligated to quit.

The link to download the game is not working. If someone has an archive of this, will be greatly appreciated.

God damn! Man, I hope I can find a way to attend this but I just got a promotion so it's doubtful that I'll be able to take time off work. This looks amazing, though.

Just joined. It's so great to be a part of an amazing community in honour of an iconic game! Thanks to my older cousins who introduced me to the NHL series on Sega and PC!

I'm from Ottawa, Ontario. I see there are others from the area, as well.

Look forward to some great conversations + gaming!

 

Zeuuuuuusss!

Have enjoyed the games I've played thus far online. Being a Philly fan, I generally use them the most. Here is some feedback or opinions I have. 

• Giroux
  • shot power is too high, I'd dial back a little
  • shot accuracy is probably too low
  • agility is fine but I think his speed should be reduced
• JVR
  • I'd reduce his shot power
• Porovrov
  • reduce speed
  • reduce agility
• Gostisbehere
  • reduce agility
  • reduce shot power
• Raffl
  • reduce shot accuracy
  • increase speed and agility
  • increase stick handling
• Vorachek
  • reduce shot power

I know a lot of people would offer advice when I did the updates, so please, don't think that I'm nitpicking; these are just my observations of the players right now. Take it or leave it. 

I'd like to buy a MEGA SG but for the money I can get 2 or 3 SNES / Gennys. But if you really can't tell the difference then I can't see why not. The RetroRGB cables are good enough for me I don't have to bother with scalers or SCART to RGB. I love CRT TV's though and at the rate I'm going I'll probably need to rent storage just for monitors. 

If I can shoehorn in a question: does anyone know if the EA, 4-Way- Play adapter fits properly on the Mega SG?

Edit: @Edge of '94 Midwest

Was curious as to what I could find in the way of reviews and this is promising:

 

Might have gotten two for a dollar there.
