  1. Thanks man, and congrats!

    Was definitely pretty hilarious in some of those games, even my gooning it up couldn't save me. :(

    And yeah, I really switched off this season after a ) I wasn't able to get hold of all my opponents for the rest of my regular season games and b ) one of my playoff series ended up being an FF after trying to get it organized for a couple of weeks. Can't remember the last time I played a game before yesterday, and I'm kinda doubting that I will sign up for next season too.

  2. If he doesn't respond to the PM i sent yesterday, he will be replaced by the end of today. If he does, CHI will be replaced.

    Any news on Quebec? Have 6 games to play against him. I also have 3 vs Dragon to play to round out the season, but we are having difficulty organizing something due to the time difference & work hours right now.

  3. If EA aren't interested I'm sure if you contacted an indie developer, some kind of remake could be conjured up. Look what BomberGames did with the Streets of Rage remake - a game that's utterly true to the look and feel of the old SoR games, but with some great extras thrown in. For NHL94, the plan would be obvious - online game lobbies, teams from multiple eras, bugfixes - but, fundamentally, nothing that is going to majorly change the way that the game plays.

    I would be pretty ecstatic with a remake which just added these things, gave optimisation for modern PCs (resolutions, etc.) and nothing else.

  4. Apart from netplay support, I really dislike the way Gens handles a lot of things, although I'll grin and bear most of it. One thing that really bugs me, however, is the (apparent?) inability to set Gens to a default window size above the piffling 640x480 in the options. Resizing with the mouse every time I start Gens is tedious and distorts the image ratio. Using a maximized window or fullscreen just looks annoying on a 22" TFT.

    So, are there any tricks to assigning other default window sizes/resolutions to Gens? (I couldn't see any .ini commands) Otherwise, are there any other emulators that support netplay, give better video options (a la Fusion) and are league-approved?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  5. Alright, kpuck19 was kind enough to help me out tonight, but unfortunately we were in a whole world of desyncs - every game either on a public server or P2P through Hamachi desynced, regardless of who was hosting! Gonna try a reinstall of a few things but if anyone has experience/ideas on this one then I'd be glad to hear about it.

    Edit: Just ran a local test through P2P/Hamachi and things look fine. I'm currently thinking the problem was that I didn't close the ROM before starting netplay - would that cause desyncing?

    Edit2: Just been trying some games out with mav and it seems to be sorted. I basically just need to stop loading and clicking things I shouldn't be by the looks of things. ;)

  6. Hey all! I haven't been around here for a very, very long time but I actually just moved to the US within the last couple of months, so think it'd be cool to finally be able to join the leagues on here.

    If anyone's in for a test game, my AIM is SureshotNHL94. I'm doing slightly crazy OT hours at the moment so I'm avail most days from about 11PM PST, 7PM Saturday and all day Sunday unless something else is on.

    In case it jogs any memories, I made this video about 4 years ago:

    . I also played in one of the NHLGamer.com leagues around the same time and got destroyed by people like Tickenest!
  7. Been playing a little more and still liking it. However, I do have one quibble with your hack, Mack, which is the stamina bars on line changes. I find it offputting having the multicoloured bars there, particularly when the non-filled part is grey rather than black. A simple solid colour on black would do here :blink:

    Edit: I realise now that the bars appear to be part of the template. In that case, I'm poking you instead, wboy!
