donnybrook Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) ok so i know nhl94 is the hockey game, and i might be speaking blasphemy here but, i thought it would be a fun change of pace to host a tournment for ice hockey on the nintendo entertainment system. Depending on the amount of people intrested i will either do a best of 3 series set up or double elimination set up. there are 6 teams to choose from in the game. USA Sweeden Poland Canada USSR Czech Republic Rules: Speed will be on setting 3, and time 7 so the first 6 to sign up get in the tourny. unless we can get 12 people in on this, witch i doubt, then we would do 2 different 6 team double elimination brackets and the champ of each bracket would face each other. as far as emulators go, i think the simplest nintendo emulator for online play would probaly be Jnes, but if the 2 parties playing agree to a use a different emulator, all the power to you. and for the rom, when we get everything set up i will post a rom for us to all use. you can download Jnes at this link http://jabosoft.com/?categoryid=3 so if your intrested post your AIM screenname and the team you want, you can only double pick a team if every team has been picked once. hopefully we can get this going by the weekend. If anybody has any suggestions/comments they are welcomed. BRACKET: Edited April 15, 2009 by donnybrook Quote

donnybrook Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) ok so we got 6 so far. shaftman looks like you'll get czech republic (not that it matters),and that will decide bracket 'a'. we'll see how many more people say there intrested, if we can get 6 more we'll lump them into a 'b' bracket and get this thing started. if we cant get 6 more, we'll either just play everyone in one bracket and figure it out as we go. hows this sound? any suggestions?

donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 no need to be 6 - 6 if we got 8 its allright yea i figured that, but i thought id be nice if you could stay your team through out the playoffs, if we have 8 players and 6 teams, what are we gonna do about duplicate teams? could just pick a different team for the time being, but, it just seems... i donno.. wrong.

And what if 2 teams Poland face each other in gold medal final heh Quote
donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 dont think to much dude, its 8 bit! And what if 2 teams Poland face each other in gold medal final heh in ice hockey the same team cant play its self. so this would make choosing teams pointless Quote
clockwise Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 in ice hockey the same team cant play its self. so this would make choosing teams pointless Even if you could it would be impossible to tell the teams apart. Quote
donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) ok so we got 8 and thats where its gonna have to stay. i jumbled all of us in the same randomizer jesus used for his league to determine seeding. it turned out like this 1 Houlanov 2 shaftman 3 habs 4 donnybrook 5 vocally caged 6 jesus 7 Freydey 8 RWD iceguy heres the bracket: it is double elimination, that means, you lose twice and your out. pretty simple. **bracket moved to first post** as far as teams go, it doesnt matter, just pick who ever you want for that game. i wanted to keep teams but that doesnt seem possiable at this point. so thats pretty much it, play the games, post the scores here and ill update the bracket every night. have fun!

RedWingDevil Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Can I propose that we use Nestopia instead? It also has Kaliera like Gens and we could find servers that can come in handy for the games. Quote
donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 i use nestopia from time to time, it does look better than jnes but nestopia has a tendency to crash in netplay. but it really doesnt matter, there both easy to use and download. it just depends on what emulator you and your opponent deicide on.

donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Houli recomemed i post a single emulator and rom so here they are. Nestopia139bin.zip Ice_Hockey.zip Quote
shaftman Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Alright now lets hope this doesnt go off and die like other things do around here... maybe we can hax the nes rom and squeeze 2 more teams in there? Quote
shaftman Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 actually it should of been first come first serve... Quote
donnybrook Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 bracket updated! Alright now lets hope this doesnt go off and die like other things do around here... i wont let it. actually it should of been first come first serve... it is what it is Quote
