How to: Wide Display Mode in '94 (Patches) v3.1 (2025 07 26) Above: The Original ROM and WWF Survivor Shoot-Out patched for Wide Display mode. Here are a couple of patches that you can use on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive NHL ’94 ROMs to switch the gameplay view from 256 pixels wide to 320 pixels wide. These are entirely new patches built from the ground up to be the most comprehensive, stable, and minimally intrusive method to convert the game to 320 pixel wide mode. Furthermore, two different versions of the patch are included, one for the original 28-team ROM, and another for the 32-Team ROM hack, as well as uninstaller patches. As an added bonus, two optional patches allow you to limit the amount of horizontal camera movement. Without further ado, here are the patches! cheers, -Adam NHL 94 - Patches - Display Mode - Wide - v3.1.zip Installation Notes If you are using this patch on a ROM that already has ANY previous first of this hack, it is highly recommended that you run the included uninstaller patch first. This will reset all affected areas of code to their default values. Please note, if you have further modified these areas of code, those modification will be lost. These patches writes 110 bytes of data to 0x000FFE20 in the original 28-team ROM, or to 0x001FF320 in a 32-team ROM hack. By default this section is unused, but if your ROM has been modified to have data stored in this location, you should instead use the Manual installation method available at: https://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/35254-how-to-wide-display-mode-in-94-patches-manual-methods/#findComment-208436. Version Notes v3.1 Revised the Instant Replay screen initialization to remove garbage tiles, further optimization and relocation of code to its final resting place. v3.0 Completely re-written from the ground up for optimal use of the game’s native systems. v2.2 Fixed misaligned Arrow Indicators for Off-Screen players, and removed Gameplay overlays from Instant Replay view. v2.1 Fixed Injury & Shoot-Out Overlays. v2.0 Initial Public Release. Known Issues None as of version 3.1. Potential Issues When applying this to existing ROM hacks, there may be compatibility issues, as it is impossible to prepare a patch that will work with every single ROM hack variant. If you are having difficulties, you may wish to manually modify the ROM with my notes below, or to ask that ROM hack creator for help. Just about everything they need to know is included in the next post below.
