Skip EA + Flying Pucks Intro Screens

---

Problem:
It takes forever [24 Seconds] before you get to the "Game Setup" screen on the SNES version of 94. We would like to speed this up similar to the GENS version [4 Seconds].

Solution:

Simply skip the code that loads the EA Sports Screen, and the Flying Pucks Screen. This now takes less than 4 seconds to get to the "Game Setup" Screen

Technical Details:

The code below is executed when the ROM starts up.

 

Code:

1. Change the JSL (Jump Sub-Routine) to NOP (No Operation) to skip the EA Intro
2. Change the JSL (Jump Sub-Routine) to NOP (No Operation) to skip the Flying Pucks Intro

New Code:

Download the patch tool to create your own ROM or patch an existing ROM.

Hex Version:

1) Replace old hex value with new hex value.
