I haven't tried it, but I would fully expect it to work fine.

This is literally the exact NOSE software folder I us e. It doesn't need to be installed, just run from this folder anywhere on your PC. nose1.2b-2012apr.zip

Thanks for the tip! Fixed and re-upped in first post.

Check first post for updated version!

TBH, I hate messing with rink/tile graphics and I haven't done it in a while, so I don't remember the hex sections of the ROM to do so. Basically, the technique is finding the sections in the ROM that designates the tile graphics and layout, and just copy/pasting the whole big block of hex values. You'll have to go back through guides on these forums regarding rink graphics to figure out where those sections are. The best I can do for you now is that once upon a time I made a bunch of ips patches. Just apply the IPS patch with an IPS program like Lunar IPS to a 94 genesis rom and it will apply that set of graphics to the ROM and change nothing else. Patches.zip

It's a Genesis/MD rom. It can only run on Genesis emulators, and cannot be altered to SNES emulators/hardware. If you hack your SNES classic to run Genesis emulators, you could play it that way.

If you're using HxDen like I suggested, control+G to 00BB88. You'll see in the hex table that you are at row 00BB80, and going across the table to column 8.

It's very simple. Personally I use this software, https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ Then it's just a matter of finding the right address in the ROM and typing in a few digits.

Not at the moment, but you can change it yourself by simply changing 4 digits through a hex editor:

Thanks for the corrections. Don't plan on releasing updated version any time soon, but I will correct them for trade deadline update.

You're free to and it could be cool, just watch out for breaking the center ice logos (if you edit uniforms) or breaking player portraits when messing with lineups. Also, please note a version number/date somewhere inside the rom (opening credits?) to prevent confusion.

Re-upped v 1.1 with some minor fixes! See top post.

I haven't noticed that, but it might be a problem with the 32-team rom. I guess the moral of the story is stay away from player portraits in the main menu for the last few teams!

Thanks! I will correct and re-post in a few days.

UPDATE: I'm dropping an updated version of my ROM rosters as of 12/15 (ish). I've been picking at the rom continuously, and this mostly a ratings update for how certain guys are performing this year, with updated starting lineups/ photos as well (some teams like Vegas, STL really needed updates!). So I've hardly any time to test, but the time is now for release. Details: -All 31 NHL teams with up-to-date logos/uniforms/lines/ratings (thank you slapshot!) -player portraits for all no-line-change starters -custom/anniversary center ice logos for teams that use them this year (CAR, DAL, TB, DET, NYR...) -Weight bug fix -speed burst at 75% of original rom -accurate arena music per team (default in slapshot 32-team rom) -ice/bench graphic hacks (default in slapshot 32-team rom) -known bug with 32-team rom -- GAME WILL CRASH IF CYCLING THROUGH WPG (TEAM 31) PORTRAITS ON MAIN MENU Please let me know if you find any bugs or errors. Enjoy! EDIT: Re-upped v 1.1 with minor roster/player tweaks and corrections. Barring any major problems, this is final release.

Nice work!

The roms are definitely Genesis only, but if you've got RetroArch up and running there is Genesis emulation in there.

My ROM will be available sometime this weekend or next week. Gonna take a few days for finishing touches, and I want to see every team play a game or 2 to get rosters/lines right. I suspect skip's plan is similar, but I can't speak for him.

Planned release is shortly after opening day. I want to have opening day rosters/numbers/lines in official release.

Example:

Try this. It's mostly done, other than getting opening day rosters and lines/numbers when known. Some player rating tweaking and updates as well. DON'T use line changes. They are not completely filled out, and the game will probably crash. DON'T look at player cards for Team 31 (Winnipeg). The game will crash (known bug with 32-team ROM). nhl2018 naples.bin

It's coming boys.

This is just a browser-based emulator. It's not much different from what we already have. I agree that the top priority is to faithfully re-create NHL 94 gameplay. However, if that is the only goal, then just use emulators as we're doing now, and end discussion. If a bigger goal is to have a real open-source version of the game that can add gameplay and non-gameplay features, and be more easy to make user mods, this online emulator doesn't help at all.

I would love love love for this to exist, and would be willing to work on it long term, but it's no trivial task and I have no clue where to even begin. While we're in fantasy land though: -unlimited team number, easy to add. Probably you choose team, then roster year. -jersey selection before games -optional enhancements to 94 gameplay; pass speed, turning tightness, lane filling in O-zone for wingers to one-time from slot...etc -HD graphics to see more ice surface (full side to side view) -online play with stat tracking, league support Sigh...

Well extra work to fix the organ music is definitely welcome! I try to be pretty completionist in my roms, although the music stuff is about the only thing I notably skip.
