  4. NHL94 Remastered

    in Genesis Roms

    Remember the game is actually based on the 1992-93 Season.

    This sounds more like a rom based on the 1993-94 Season.  Which is a cool idea.

    I actually think the ratings from NHL 95 are better than the ratings for 94.  They were done by Neil Smith of the Rangers as opposed to Igor Kuperman.

    They would be a good place to start as 95 has all of the tweaks you mentioned and more.

    I am also glad that at least you, me, and @kingraph care about the player cards.  I watch them every single time.

    One thing about my roms is that I left the ratings and game play untouched so that it plays exactly like the Original , but it looks tons better.

    I can barely look at the Original rom with the improvements made to Logos, player cards, and splash screens.

    Yes! Well, just after the trade deadline, so...

    • Gartner (TOR) <---> Anderson (NYR)
    • Amonte (CHI) <--> Matteau, Noonan (NYR)
    • Iafrate (BOS) <--> Juneau (WSH)
    • Suter, Ranheim (HFD) <--> (CGY) Nylander, Patrick, Zalapski
    • etc

    '95 is interesting considering Smith did the ratings and the Rangers won the cup yet they aren't rated that high. I do agree that 95s' ratings are more reasonable.

    In total agreement with you regarding visual updates. A lot of the logos, and other assets I did for my NHL11-14 ROMS are really good and make the original developers look lazy.

    @CoachMac thanks, Coach. I'll take a look at that ROM later on. How did you do all of those? Amazing!

    @Edge of 94' WI good point and I'm well aware. The original ROM will always be the ROM. Even with all the ROM's I've done, I doubt anyone plays them besides 2on2.

    @kingraph I definitely take full responsibility for the project, but if members can chip in two cents here or there, if I create a topic about a team and am overhauling ratings, that would be appreciated. This is what I was going to do with pixelpuck.com but it became too time consuming. 

    I don't expect or need anyone to have to open my edit in TM or NOSE and make adjustments. And I know that no one really cares about player cards and such, but they are a nice finishing touch. 

    As an example Brodeur isn't even in the game, yet he won the Calder. I believe Hasek won the Veznia as well but is only rated 50-something.

    A team like San Jose would get a big bump in forward depth with the additions of Makarov, Larionov and Whitney. Irbe deserves a better rating as well.

    There are a lot of small adjustments that could shift the tiers to make the game more fun to play. Perhaps it could make for a deeper draft league if anyone had interest in doing something like that.

    I promised myself I'd never do another ROM project, but I have an idea and would like some feedback from the community.

    Many of the purists may be thinking that I'm messing with the Mona Lisa of hockey games, but I think an updated version of the game could be a good thing.

    Before I get started: no I don't think this will replace the original NHL'94 with all it's beautiful flaws. That's not the big idea. This would just be a twist on the original that could freshen up the game and be a lot of fun to play.

    Some of the adjustments / corrections to be considered:

    • Player ratings predicated on member feedback. This would make this ROM edit more of a community project. 
    • Correct, expanded, post-trade-deadline rosters, including players who were not in the original game but should have been.
    • Correct the uniforms with the help of my sprite patch: ECA/WCA, SJS, PHI, MTL, CHI & FLA, just as an example, are way off. This might not bother some people, but I'd like the uniforms to be as accurate as possible. My sprite patch makes this possible.
    • Improved center ice logos
    • Improved team-menu logos
    • Improved splash screens, maybe. I feel it may be best to leave these alone, unless I can find the original splash screen photo and remake it for TM.
    • Player card photo for every forward, defenseman and goalie.
    • Updated net.
    • Weight bug fix(?)
    • Assist bug fix
    • Separate (Y) button for goalie control patch (holding B still works, for those who've never played a ROM with this patch)
    • Swap goal siren and end-of-period horn.
    • I also feel like the banners and font can be improved but shouldn't be messed with.

    That's all for now.

    The reason why I haven't added a poll is because I like some feedback as to whether the brain trust, here, thinks this is a good idea, and if I were to start this, what exactly would everyone like changed.

    Really want to here from the established members of the community as well if it seems like a worthwhile endeavor, because ultimately the community will be playing the game.

  13. Major bugs: SNES vs Genesis

    in Differences Between Genesis / SNES

    I always liked how if your goalie misses his pass in GENS (not sure about NES), you can no longer change players - you are stuck as goalie until you make a save to retrieve the puck - or get scored on.

    Seen this bug many times in 2on2. When the goalie get's locked like that, you lose your team mate, or your opponent loses his. Only thing you can do is hope for a goal or a stoppage if you're the one locked to the goalie, because you can't control him. 

  19. Gary Bettman Malware - I can't check anyone

    in Retroarch

    Posted

    I can't check in SNES but I can shoot. I deleted retroarch and started from scratch, and I still can't check, but I can shoot.

    Is this some kind of rootkit that Gary Bettman paid Russian hackers to design? Anyone else have this experience?

    Here's what I got:

    • 3 prong outlets
    • Ethernet (cable)
    • Saturn USB controller 
    • Chaos Retroarch guide
    • Genesis player who sincerely appreciates SNES version and takes back anything bad I ever said about SNES'94

    I just want to check, please.

     

     

     

  20. 93 One-Timers

    in NHLPA '93

    Posted

    Would have liked to play in the 92 league.

    @deadmeow used to run Classic Genesis Sports and there was a '92 league but there were never enough heads. He had to stop due to illness.

    The first NHL'94 Online Championship was held on his forum before @Evan got things setup over here. @HABS won the first cup against @Tickenest or @kgman

    And yeah, I setup the '93 site back in '07. The site hasn't been updated but the style is what the old '94 site used to look like, except it's red instead of blue.

    Always fun scoring 1-timers in '93. There are a ton in this video that I made over a decade ago:

     

    We had a league back then, '06 or thereabouts - I'd have to search for the thread. I know a lot of people love the fighting in 93 but, to me, it really doesn't add anything. There's no way to strategically setup fights. Also, in hockey video games, I like it when the losing fighters team gets a penalty and the winners' team doesn't.
