AdamCatalyst Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 Gotcha. So are you asking for assistance in getting in on a Retroid device? You may need to unzip the distribution (as it has some other files in it), but otherwise should be compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaf Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Thank you for the hard work. I played a few games this weekend, and it’s a pretty great experience! I grew up on the SNES, but the genesis version is really awesome, especially with bug fixes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with NHLPA '93 on the SNES myself, but '94 on the SNES was my favourite to rent. I didn't "discover" '94 for Sega until a few years ago, a beautiful blend of the SNES versions I loved.

AdamCatalyst Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Re: Player Photos. As I plot out my roadmap for the season, it doesn't look like I will have time to update *all* the player photos, as I would like to. If you find that your favourite (or any other) team's photos look outdated, just drop a comment below, and I'll put that on the list of team photos to update.

LaTormenta Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Great work, @AdamCatalyst. I have not been active on the forum for ages (life has gotten in the way) and I am looking forward to loading this onto my Retroid Pocket 2+ in a couple of minutes and wiling away the time during my flight tomorrow morning. Cheers! @Drewbdoo71 - I use a RetroArch front end with my RP2+ and use the Genesis Plus GX core for Mega Drive / Genesis games. It works perfectly, although you might need to reconfigure / remap the control buttons. If you get stuck, have a look at this site, as it includes really easy-to-follow workthroughs and videos that focus on maximising the potential of most RP builds / models (including the morer recent ones): https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/01/16/retroid-pocket-2-starter-guide. I hope that this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamCatalyst Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 Hey folks, Roster update for the Drysdale trade is incoming. Just need time to do QA before I post it. Hopefully by end of day. -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamCatalyst Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Update v2.2 on the main page. Includes the Drysdale trade and other roster updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamCatalyst Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) Update v2.3 on the main page. There were a litany of small errors as to how I rate defence man in the previous release (2.2). While I doubt anyone would notice, I pulled it regardless. Aside from the ratings fix, I also fixed a long-standing error I just found out about yesterday. In other news, v3.0 is well in progress. I will be re-rating every single player from scratch, again, for the umpteenth time, as I've updated my gameplay model. Skating will be a bit slower. Overall slightly more realistic. If there is any interest, I may also bring back the "arcade mode" patch for those who want a less realistic more classic experience. Leave me a note if any variation patches interest you.

nastynacho Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) i appreciate your honesty 👍 thank you 🙏i prefer an arcade feel but that's just my opinion. i like big hits , fast shots and passing. As well as boosted ratings for superstars ex. Gretzky 99 Hull 99 etc... but for new players. Connor McDavid 99 or whatever is the equivalent of 99 on nhl 94 thank you 🙏☕ Edited January 16 by nastynacho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I mean players skate pretty fast. How long does it take for the average player to skate length of the rink? Is it similar in '94 2024? I also like big hits, I kind of miss them. But at the same time, the game now is kinda light on hits. Edited January 18 by George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, the game now is kinda light on hits. I try to do things like clock McDavid's real-life blue-line to blue-line speed and replicate it in the ROM. Then I work on the slowest speed in the ROM that feels plausible playing against McD's speed. All of this has to be considered against certain constants, like the passing speed, which can't be changed. Will be including an "Arcade" style patch, that will increase speed and hits, for those who want more!

Ronnie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Just downloaded your 2.3 NHL 94 Version Update! Great Work @AdamCatalyst!!!! I'm excited for your arcade style patch too! Keep up the good work my friend. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamCatalyst Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 I’ve been sick, so no updates lately. I’m feeling better now, and getting back into this. Will put out an update sooner than later, aiming for the end of the all star break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDJ Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Hello Adam. We, the Russian NHL94 community, respect your work and even held our tournaments on your rom. But during the game, one interesting point emerged - if the goalkeeper turns on the manual, then the probability of not hitting the target increases sharply. Sometimes it even becomes funny. The puck can fly above the goal, past the goal, although the distance is minimal. This can't just be an accident - it happens too often. Tell me, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your kind words! To tell you the truth I have never noticed such a thing. I will look out for it as soon as I get back to test playing. In any case, I have *no* idea what causes this. Is this something that only happens in my ROM hack, or is it in others? Is it in the original? I have very limited understanding of the gameplay engine, and have only changed a couple of variables that should affect that. That being said, there can always be unintended consequences to even the most minor of changes. If it is only my ROM hack that has the problem, there are a few things I could try stripping out, to see if it makes a difference. If you would have the time / interest to test this for me, send me a PM and I can output a few different variations for you to day. But if the issue is in all the ROMs, it is *way* beyond my technical expertise. I'm most a guy who takes the hard work of others, and refines it into a cohesive package. I don't really have the knowledge for the more technical aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDJ Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 In the original, this problem also exists, but to a much lesser extent, of course. We here, at our tournaments, monitor this moment, and it definitely takes place. It even spawned a few local memes, if you understand) We'll start playing on version 2.3 now, and when that happens we'll be recording its.

I don’t believe any 2.x release will be any better. I will try to look at this in the future, but I suspect this might be one that is too much for me. If I get a potential solution, I will PM you with it! Best wishes to you and all our Russian friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
