  1. A classic NHL 94 league from back in the day

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted · Edited by messngretz

    Hey boys, not sure if anyone ever came across the Unholy Grail Championships website back in the early 2000's, but it was a group of guys who'd play in tournaments once or twice per year over a weekend up in Canada. They don't do it anymore, but thanks to the Wayback Machine, you can navigate the old site...the commentary was hilarious - great stuff.

     

    Here was their website: https://web.archive.org/web/20050210095102/http://theunholygrail.com/

    For the installer, did you drag everything over? If so, you should see a ROMs folder in your Documents/RetroArch folder

    I can see this time, you dragged the retroarch.cfg file over, since the menu changed. There are 2 other things (cores and ROMs) in the installer you have to drag over.

    EDIT: After dragging the ROMs and cores to the right spots, check that they copied over (in Documents/RetroArch folder you should see a ROMs and cores folder). If not, just right click on the ROMs folder in the installer window, select "Copy", then go to the Documents/RetroArch folder, right click in the Finder window, and choose "Paste Item".

     

    When you go into RetroArch and Load the Core, then go to Load Content, select "Start Directory" and you should see a Genesis and SNES folder in there. Then select the folder to find the ROMs.

    Yeah, I dragged all four files over...and I have also gone into Documents/RetroArch and I see the Core and ROMs folder, see attached for screenshot...

    I've figured out my problem - I wasn't selecting "Start Directory", instead I was thinking the ROM folder/files would be listed on that screen...

    So we're all good now, thanks boys!

    thanks for the reply...I had actually adjusted my security settings to allow download and install.

    I just read on nhl94online.com that "Currently, the Mac Package supports SNES online play only."

    Even still, I should still see the SNES folder in there...
     

    So I uninstalled RetroArch and re-installed the Mac version...this time, it displayed the menus differently from the above screen shots that I posted. I loaded the SNES core, then tried to load content.

    Again, no ROMs listed.

    See attached screenshot.

    thanks for the help...I've installed RetroArch and followed the instructions, everything went well...I load the core (Genesis Plus GX) and then click Load Content>Start Directory....but I don't see anything listed in there. No ROMs folder nor ROMs.

    Any idea why? I've attached images here...

    Thanks again!

  6. NHL Hockey (DOS)

    in Post '98 Titles & Other Hockey Titles

    Posted

    My buddy had the original NHL Hockey for the PC, we used to play it all the time. We'd play with the EA Sports branded Gravis GamePad Pro controllers.I have an original copy of it with floppy disks, see attached.

    I now work on a Mac and use a program called Boxer, which is an MS-DOS game emulation based on DOSBox...so I can just download DOS games and play them on my Mac. I just drag them onto the shelf within the user interface, it's pretty cool. See attached.

    It's easier and more convenient than running the games through Dos Box. I have NHL Hockey and NHL Hockey 95, and play with a Logitech USB controller.

    BTW, there were a few changes made between the original NHL Hockey and NHL Hockey 95, namely:

    1 - the graphic interface changed from animated drawings to real photos of studio & reporter photos, as well as in-arena shots. See attached.
    2 - the overall presentation was improved to give it a much more TV presentation feel to it.
    3 - the in-game sounds and stoppage in play arena music was a bit different
    4 - the "EA Sports...it's in the game" was used at the start of the game
    5 - the original NHL Hockey had the SNES intro screen, while the NHL Hockey 95 had a completely different intro screen, comparable to NHL 94 for the Sega CD
    6 - both games had the same game intro music, but when you'd exit NHL Hockey '95, you'd get the classic NHL 94 music - plus you'd get these awesome screens that would shuffle through hockey cards featuring pictures of all of the game's producers, programmers, artists, testers. etc.
    7 - NHL Hockey '95 was produced for the PC by Pioneer Productions
    8 - the player ratings were provided by John Rosasco (PR Dept) and Neil Smith (GM)

    If you have a chance to play NHL Hockey '95, do it...it's awesome. 

    Let's Go Rangers!

  9. Running NHL '95 on your Hard Drive

    in NHL '95

    Posted

    thanks...I have the game and the files on my MAC, and when I open the game in DOSBox, it looks like it is about to start, only to spit out "Could not open  ALLFILES.TXT file."

    I run the original NHL Hockey for PC via DOSBox without a problem, using the same method.

    Any ideas, by chance?

    I've installed NHL95 on DOSBox and it runs perfectly... then when I go to play again I get an error message "Could not open ALLFILES.txt file" and the app terminated. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

    I too get this error message when I try running NHL '95 with DOS Box on my MAC...anyone know a fix for this? Thanks

  21. Anyone Remember this NHL '94 League?

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    yeah, they were really funny guys, and each guy would take a team and they'd have an all-day tournament at a different place....usually at least one tournament per year, sometimes two or three...for the life of me I cannot remember it and I can't find it when I searched online...I might have to see if I have bookmarks saved from back then, I'm sure I bookmarked it.
