    great work! just a suggestion that Vegas home helmets are grey and not black... but everything else is perfect going to try the game at some point tonight.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Fixed and re-upped in first post.

    Can you give me the details on this @naples39

    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.

    Is there any way possible to patch or alter this so that it could work on a SNES Classic system? Can I convert .bin into a .md? file? I think that's what it uses.

    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.

    How do I find the "address" in the ROM?  I have the ROM in the hex editor, and I see on the posting listed above that the "Hex offset" is 00BB88.  One problem: I do not know what a Hex offset is. :)

    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.

    I'm thinking about rolling out weekly updates every Sunday for this ROM for everyone.

    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.

    Great to play this today.  I noticed I had an issue going through the portraits of Washington in the main menu and the advantages screen and the game froze.  Does anyone else have that issue?

    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!

    Found a player error. You have Paul Postma (Bruins) wearing #1, he's supposed to be #14.

    Also have Kevin Lablanc (Sharks) spelled as Labanc. You also have forward Barclay Goodrow (Sharks) on the 3rd D pairing.

    Jake Dotchin (Lightning) spelled Joke, poor guy. . .

    You have Derrick Pouliot (Canucks) wearing #51 instead of #5.

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    I have been a long time fan of NHL 94; however, I have yet to try one of these modified roms.  How well do the work in general in comparison with the original NHL 94 rom?  I have downloaded a few modified roms for Techno Super Bowl and they have been tremendous.  Does anyone know how this particular rom compares in terms of quality? 

    Example:

    Got a beta ?

    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).

    I just discovered this already exist :blink:

    http://www.ssega.com/play/nhl-hockey-94/1181

    You can play a multiplayer online, use a joypad, and download your saves too  

    http://www.ssega.com/page/help

    We need to contact an admin from this site

    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.

  13. 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...
