  1. I play on a Mac and I can do it. what does the Mac have to do with it?

    step one: activate the multitap emulator in the options across the top of the emulator menu bar

    step two: set the player one buttons to stuff you don't use, like the keyboard buttons you never hit

    step three: set the player five buttons to use your regular buttons/controller

    step four: play

    I tried that- I think I messed up the keyboard entry system. I was using 5 but the indicator is red; I wanted to use orange. So, I went to player 4, and did the edits, but now every time I go to the log in screen I see players 1,4,5 always wanting to log in. I get stuck on menus, so I deleted the game, and then re DL'ed hoping to just get a re-set and undo the edits that I made in this multi tap. However, deleting the file and re-DLing did not lead to a reset. So, I am trying to find the undeleted files, so I can start over.

    So I deleted everything then tried to start over, but still having problems. All 3 players- 1,4,5 all want to log in, and I am playing with stiffs just standing there on the ice. I cannot figure out how to get the guys I do not want to play with to log out. I assign nonsense keys to the left and right directionals on my D pad for players 1 and 5, but I just cannot get rid of players 1 and 5 wanting to join me.

  2. working on a playoffs update. anything I need to address?

    I have not done a serious critical critique by any means, but seems great from what I can see- player ratings and everything that I have checked all look spot on. My only gripe is how impossible it is for me (since I am on Mac) to get a different color indicator under my player (orange would be nice, but the default blue is a bit too subtle for my liking). I usually know who I am, but I still get lost once or twice per period.

  3. waiting for the rest of the traded players to be assigned numbers and for teams to set new lines. should have a 2014 release by Monday. now is the time to influence it, so have your say and/or offer your help.

    I might be able to help out again. I play inline Friday night and ice Sunday night, but Sat night I think I am free. My nights are your mornings as I am in Asia. Looking forward to having St. Louis and Nash available for my NYR. Lemme know if you need anything.

  4. Cool Videos!

    Where do you play? It looks so different than anything I've seen. Is it in a mall and why are there black and yellow stripes on the boards?

    We are in Jakarta- it is in a mall in a rink made for public skating. It is pretty bad actually- the angles of how the boards curve are all messed up, small rink, soft ice, no boards where the "benches" are. But it's hockey, in a place where it is too hot to work out outside, and the gyms here are not like I am used to, so this it it!! lol

    No reason as to why they chose black and yellow striped board whatevers.

  5. get the updated ROM from the first post.

    It is definitely apparent that BOS has had their checking/ aggression/ D awareness ratings beefed up. I used to be them 7-0 or 7-1 just about every game in the last rendition (with either NYR, CHI or PIT). Just played one game with PIT and beat them 3-0, but Fleury stood on his head and my guys got hit alot harder than in any game I had every played previous. Only one knockout (Martin), but that is not really how I judge the game. I judge by how hard it was for me to knocked down the BOS players on my checks, and how easily my guys went down.

  6. right. there are shadows under the controlled players. player five has a dark red pool of blood that is partially obscured by the skater's existing natural shadow. player four has an orange one that is a bit too similar to the red one for my liking, but altering existing color options isn't currently in my bag of tricks. the third player has a pool of yellow under him, which is great for pissing on the logo of you opponent while your teammate holds the cup aloft. player two has a green indicator that is kind of tough to see between the regular shadow and the ice. player one's icon is very difficult to see, as it is a blue that is similar to the other on-ice colors in use. each one is larger than they were in previous updates, but not by too much. there is still no marquee with flashing lights pointing to the guy you have. short answer: no.

    Any chance of making Player 1's shadow Orange, and making Player 5's shadow that difficult to see Blue? I have no requests for 2,3,4; I usually play by myself against the computer, and think Orange would be ideal. I tried to change the indicator colors but could not figure out how. Thanks.

  7. Do protecting and attacking have any influence on "Speed when carrying the puck"? For instance, Malkin seems really slow and lethargic when he is carrying the puck, despite high Speed/Agility ratings. I am wondering if his low Attack/ Protect ratings slow him down when he is puck carrying.

  8. I think that the NYR defenseman ratings are a bit off. In my opinion, McDonough, Girardi, Staal, and Del Zotto are a huge step above Stralman and Eminger. However, Stralman is a beast in this game. I scored 4 goals with him in one game on my road to the cup, when the entire rest fo the team was getting shut down. In watching, Stralman seems slow, poor with the puck, and his awareness is not stellar. By contract, the 4 guys that I listed always seem quick to and on the puck (not so much Girardi, he is just pure positional defense and lets McDonough do all the puck carrying), and in the right place.

    As I mentioned before, I think that some of the NYR forwards are a bit inflated (Richards and Zuccarello), while on in particular may be underrated (Brassard). Brassard may have just had a fluky run since joining NYR, but he has been the most productive NYR since he came on board.

  9. Just tinkering around with older ROMs from this site, and I gotta say, that I love how you did the #s in TruHockey. Not really feeling the nitro enhanced speed skating style, but I think you did this ROM around 2011, so all well and good, as I think you are pretty well dialed in to the physics of skating in NinetyFlow.

  10. All good; I am using SNES9x with a gamepad. I am thus required to figure out which button goes with what movement, and then map it. Still loving this ROM- the responsiveness of the players is perfect. When I try to play regular NHL94 now, it just feels like the guys are so sluggish. I also love how great the AI are are deking. They are useless on penalty shots, but any space on breakaways or semi breakaways and they will punish you if you don't goalie control.

  11. I'd play, but I am having difficulty here:

    "Testing your installation

    To test if Emulation Enhancer is working, go to the About Box in a supported emulator. (Note that if the emulator is dated before September 27th, 2008 you will need to download an updated version). You should see the words "Emulator Name (with Emulator Enhancer)".

    What does this mean, and how do I do this?

  12. let me introduce Derek Stepan: http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8474613

    this is Mats Zuccarello: http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8475692

    Brad Richards isn't great, but he was a big plus this season.

    the overalls are tied heavily to plus/minus weighted by time on ice. Malkin has great skills if you peep his actual stats, but his overall rating is weak because his +/- divided by time on ice doesn't match his "better" teammates. he'll still score at will, but his line is going to get scored on due his lazy positioning. it works. I bet if you simulated a season the stats would work out better than ROMs that have Ovechkin and Malkin at 100. it may not look right when you are flipping through the overall ratings and it definitely won't look right if you focus on the awareness ratings, but the guys seem to actually play like their (regular season) selves.

    as for the controls, thanks for reminding me to edit this stuff in to an earlier post:

    unless you are a gaming-with-a-keyboard master, you'll want to use a gamepad, or this game will be quite difficult to operate. here are the controls, based on the standard SNES controller:

    control.jpg

    L = left defenseman control

    R = right defenseman control

    u, l, r, d = up, left, right, down directional movement

    X = goaltender control

    Y = dive, stand up, flip toss, hook, hold, vogue

    A = stack pads, skate, check, shoot, kill

    B = pass, player selection, poke check, steal, trip

    s = line change

    S = start, menu

    I'm glad you are enjoying it. thanks for the comments and questions!

    Are you sure about A (shoot)? On my computer, the Shoot/ Check is the right Command button (left Command glitches the game)

  13. Which buttons are:

    a) Instant defense Left

    B) Instant Defense Right

    c) Instant Goaile

    Loving the game BTW. Been doing a bit better at figuring out who my guy is, and as long as line changes are off then I can pretty well figure who is who.

    Some of your ratings seem a bit off. I cannot figure how these bummy players are rated so high (Zuccarello/ Stepan/ Richards), and the superstars are rated as average (Malkin). Still though, the flow of this game is second to none.
