Hi, can you tell us what you downloaded? 

Normally we recommend the package from here: https://nhl94online.com/html/getting-started.php

Which includes the original versions of the Sega and SNES NHL'94 games, which include the Blackhawks.

If you downloaded a customized ROM from a thread on the forums, it depends on what the creator of that ROM wanted.

Another possible issue... Maybe your controller is double-mapped so every time you press right or left the teams change by 2 teams instead of 1, so it always skips every other team, including the Blackhawks... does it look like all the other teams are there?

Hm so if you got the main retroarch package, the original ROMs are actually in the package, too.

You should load RetroArch.exe, then Load Core (pick the Sega one), then Load Content.

In Load Content, click "Start Directory" or something like that.. it's the first option.

Then click ROMs, Genesis, nhl94.

If you pick "CDL" or something like that, that is not the original game, that's a custom league game.

So at this point the game runs...

And you are saying the Hawks are missing? Can you go team-by-team and see what other teams are missing?

Hi Jeff, were you able to sort this out? Is there a particular problem you're running into?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me... no.  since was useing  openemu on my. Macbook pro. ... ime having a hard time getting set up and trying to understand  Retroarch.. JEFF

Is there a particular bit you're stuck on that we can help with?

Although, if you're happy with openemu, it's fine to keep using that instead! We distribute RetroArch because it's what we use to play against each other online, but if you don't intend to play online then there's no reason to switch.

As for your original problem, the blackhawks being missing... Can you tell me which version of the game you downloaded? Not all versions on here have the Hawks (for example, if there is a draft league that doesn't have the hawks but has other teams like the Colorado Rockies instead...)
