I'm working on this now and hope to find this fix soon. Change these 4 values and you can select all 34 teams in playoffs: @85F92 - change from 001A to 0022 @85FE2 - change from 001A to 0022 @85FF0 - change from 001A to 0022 @87A14 - change from 0019 to 0021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smozoma Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Raph's gone full larval stage http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/L/larval-stage.html Quote larval stage: n. Describes a period of monomaniacal concentration on coding apparently passed through by all fledgling hackers. Common symptoms include the perpetration of more than one 36-hour hacking run in a given week; neglect of all other activities including usual basics like food, sleep, and personal hygiene; and a chronic case of advanced bleary-eye. Can last from 6 months to 2 years, the apparent median being around 18 months. A few so afflicted never resume a more ‘normal’ life, but the ordeal seems to be necessary to produce really wizardly (as opposed to merely competent) programmers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segathon Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 just tested out and was blown away. Great friggen job! Love the graphics on start up screen and all the logos. Could not stop grinning Played a couple games and simulated all the way to the cup (florida won and Kyle Turris got MVP). Only stuff I saw and it might be my emulator but the screen would flicker time to time when playing and rosters sometimes would have checkmarks by guys names when subbing Again great job! let me know what else i can test. Also FYI @mack did some graphic hacks like waterbottle on goalie net. Can they be added as well? just a thought.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using Windows 10 and NOT full screen on your emulator, I've had that flicker problem. If not, it'd be good to see if others are getting that same problem. I will try to see if I can replicate the checkmarks issue on the names to see if it's something specific to a team, player, length of name, etc. If you happen to have the ROM with any of @mack's hacks, then yeah, post 'em. I don't foresee any issue adding that in, I didn't realize any other work had been done on '95. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingraph Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Music I'm back on this project and thanks to the work on music for '94 from @smozoma here: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/11307-how-to-change-and-view-nhl-94-sound-effects-and-music/&page=3&tab=comments#comment-167211 it was MUCH easier to understand and find the same table in '95. I haven't fully tested this out, but I'm 98% sure it works the same way. A few tests with the first team confirms the find. Team music offset table is found @067A20 and follows the same structure as the linked thread for '94. I will test this some more with other teams and expand it to all 34 teams in a new location. Thanks Smoz! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to be tricky but it sounds like you found it pretty easily It was easy only because I started with the assumption that this table existed in the same way as '94! This saved me HOURS of sleuthing. First I ran a trace at the start of a game when the music starts. I knew if a table existed, there must be a "MOVE" function that loads the explicit offset into an address register, so I isolated all of those. I grabbed the offsets and removed duplicates. Initially there were 45 unique offsets. Roughly half were already previously identified (graphics, team data, etc.) so it was easy to remove them. Then, it was sort of easy to quickly eyeball the hex data on the remaining offsets for anything that resembled the music table. Once I found it, it kind of stood out because it looked exactly like the '94 table! I then compared the '95 trace on that offset to one I ran for '94 and the instructions were identical! After that, I changed the song for the first team 2-3 times and it seemed to work! I posted my find and went to bed. This whole thing took about an hour. This method only worked because '95 had the same music structure setup as '94, so I was lucky my assumption was true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was specifically making an NHL'18 ROM then yes, I'd limit the selectable teams to the current 31 teams for playoffs and season. In general though, my goal is to create a 34 team base ROM that works with all teams in playoffs/season/trades. If I can get that to work, then I should be able to provide instructions on how to limit the teams back down for any future hackers that want to make an updated roster ROM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the note, I appreciate the feedback! And since it's been a few days -- quick update on where I stand on this project. Been sidetracked with the recent tourney at the RetroExpo in Hartford, and my actual paying job is crazy busy from Oct-Dec. I was in the middle of fixing the graphics bug on the playoffs screen by shortening down the spinning Stanley Cup graphic. I found out how the tile layout works for that graphic, it's different than the non-animated ones. I'll make a more detailed post when I can, but once I fix that, the next step would be the season data update. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
