  6. Buying Original Genesis Hardware

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    I have amassed way too much Sega Genesis Hardware over the years.  And as the price has gone up here is some knowledge if you are thinking about owning sega hardware.

    I'll post more as they come to me and others feel free to put tips here as well.

    Use coupon code CAG16 for 16% offand get them from Gamestop in bulk.  On occasion they will send an order containing some generics.  If you call and b***h about it, they will just resend the whole order and don't ask for the old ones back.

    Thanks!  They are only limiting me to 2.  Must be a run on these guys.

    Would love to go to tourney but using up all my kitchen passed for Tecmo

    That is the MK-1653 6 button controller, my personal favorite as well.  That's what I use (and bring my own to tournies).  You can definitely find them on eBay normally for $15-$20, but if you have patience you can snag some for $10.  Assuming USA, I know it's harder to get this delivered to Canada.

    Also helpful is this post from @jer_33, where you can buy replacement rubber pads.  Buy any used controller, open it up (5 screws), wipe the circuit board with an alcohol pad, replace the rubber contacts and that badboy will be good as new, will last another 20 years!

    Updated link for replacement parts: https://www.mortoffgames.com/sega-genesis-1/repair-and-replacement-parts123/controller-repair-parts213

    I've done this on about 4-5 controllers, recommended for sure.  It might feel a tad "tight" at first, but quickly breaks in nicely. 

     

    Thanks! much better deal than what I saw on Ebay.

    NHL95 Looks fine, it was also probably more popular overall in Finland than 94 was, actually overall it was the first one to be a huge hit in sells of hockey games.

    I have one problem with the Genesis version of 95 though. The skating seems much more hectic and less precise than compared to 94. If that was not the case I think you could do pass shots in 95 effectively as well, but now it seems just so much more random and almost impossible to line up properly for the diagonal ones. Am I wrong here and is it just a lack of experience on the game or can you use skating skill to line up for great effectiviness for pass shots?

    The hectic style skating also looks like it's going to be real bad for high latency. It feels like the point for your weight is very high instead of down low. Looks fun for live events and low 1-3 frame latency games though.

    Yeah have some buds that do a big NHL 95 tourney in Finland every year and found another group in Finland that posted a Tourney online.  Check out 

     

    I'd agree with you on the hectic Skating with SNES 95 vs Sega 94 as the SNES feels a bit floaty to me but Sega 95 to me feel like an F1 Race Car with quick and precise moves, Sega 94 feels like I am driving a large semi trailer and everything seems slow.  94 has much better passing and a broader radius to score from which opens the game up a bit.

    You are 100% correct on the high latency, I'd say 75% of the online games I have played in NHL 95 result in a desync.  Have not found a fix to get 95 to work online yet on GENS.

    Great stuff fellas!  We have a small group of guys playing 95 and we don't really understand all the hate.  It's a blast, and I grew up playing 94 way more.  

    Anyways, something has come up with us recently and this seems to be the perfect place to float it out to see what others know.  We outlawed the 'B shot' because it goes in way too often (especially in the south end) and there seems to be no way to defend it with any consistency.  Recently on a breakaway going south, I tapped C and tried a VERY slow shot in hopes of putting home a rebound.  My opponent on manual goalie hit C and it went through him clean at like 2 mph.  The same thing happened several times with very few saves until he stopped pressing C and just let it hit the goalie.  Have you guys had this happen?  Not that it should matter, but all of this took place in 2 on 2 practice mode, which we play a lot. We might outlaw this move too, but it does seem that you can stop it if you don't hit C as the goalie.  Crazy that after 20+ years you can still run into new things. We have messed around with it and it happens a lot more often with bad goalies and only seems to work going south.  Thoughts? Has anybody tried/seen this?

    Thanks!

    Love the screen name.

    It is amazing what people find out later in these games.  The whole weight bug thing they found in 94 is a game changer.  I don't feel that is a weight bug in 95.

    Yeah Pass shot can be deadly, but I still have not been able to use it consistently.  Maybe you guys are a lot better at it, but just being able to be lined up straight and getting the pass shot off quick enough before a defender gets to you is tougher than a cross crease shot. You are right on the south end most of the time when going north the puck gets lifted.

    You'll have to do a quick vid of that shot.  I tried it quick and could not replicate.  That's very interesting.  

    All the guys that do goalie control I play against just let it hit the goalie without pressing C.  The save motion must let it in.  We do press A sometimes for a kamikaze dive.

    You guys will have to join us for next segathon!
