Anyone have any idea if there’s any rosters available for NHL95PC prior to ‘92? Interested in years ‘85-‘91. Seems odd no one would have given respect to these years but it seems that’s the case, at least from what I’ve seen thru searching.

Can you post them or link them if they're floating around?

Awesome! Dido what penguinfan said. If you’re willing to share I’d be most grateful.

Looked at some of your posting and am wondering if you’re thinking sega 95? I’m looking for 95 pc rosters prior to ‘92. Is that what you have?

I think UltraMagnus' 80s and early 90s roms are nhl94 Genesis versions, maybe 95 actually, but still Genesis

Edited January 28Jan 28 by Lomez

Yeah.  That’s what I was seeing. Hoping he’ll clear this up for us. 

The ones I have are 95. But also converted to 94. They are from 1909 to present.

but for SEGA and not the PC, correct?

For a quick answer for you I do know for sure about the SEGA part, so Correct.

I tend to visit this site alot daily more than most. 

Though of course Ultramagnus knows best about all his own ROMs and projects as he makes them. Still not sure about the PC version though, just SEGA. 

I have once bought and played NHL95 for the PC MsDos before back even in the Era when it came out. As well as the former NHL Hockey for PC. I owned a 486 33mhz processor  computer at that time. Over the modern day years I have used the Dosbox Emulator. But I personally  do not play any Hockey oriented  games for the PC anymore for a long time. I don't even own a Real actual PC anymore. But for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Roms I surely do and play them just on  my Android Tablets instead. 

I really very much  look forward to his release of his 1909-present day Sega Roms project. 

Well for PC NHL rosters there was/is definitely some guy on here that has made Roster updates  specifically  for Nhl95 PC version  though, but sorry that i do not recall who exactly he was.

ok cool, thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty sure those UltraMagnus sega roms are already on the site somewhere. I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of them already. 

As for NHL95 for the PC, when I was younger, my dad bought the game on CD-ROM. We had the cool white box and everything, been playing it ever since.

Thanks for the Reply. I just graduated  High School the same year when Nhl95 came out on both the Genesis and PC. For me the Console version is much easier to play. 

But I think one of the better features of the PC version of NHL Hockey and Nhl95 is it has 4 Full Lines of players for line changes, while Genesis  just has 3 Lines because of the limits of the 3 button controller.

Nowadays for the Newer NHL games I do have Nhl24 (and a few earlier iterations) for my PS4 systems,  but haven't yet stepped up to the PS5. I might finally get a PS5 (as it's been out for 5 years now) but got to save my money for several months if i do!  Probably it won't be till the Summer or something by the time I could  get one.  Probably will aim to get the  PS5 Pro version  actually.  200 or more dollars more than the standard system. It's  pricey for a game console so if i go for it i got to save up. I usually liked to mainly play the various  Flight Simulator Airplane oriented ganes when I had a PC for both Dos first, and then Windows.  Funny that most of the time that's the kind of games I would buy or played most on my PCs.  Today Aside from Old Emulated Games (mostly the old Nhl Hockey Roms) and  Android games, I spend the rest of the time otherwise on my PS4 consoles and play my various games on it.

According to your profile on here you like Music and Guitar? I don't play guitar in real life but love music and particularlly guitar music.  I sometimes  play around with  those silly simplified Android Guitar apps and can play okay on them, but I never picked up a real guitar in my life other than a Acoustic. I like Electric guitar best. I like guitar solos alot too. I like the Overdrive sound, Clean Electric, and Acoustic. Not as huge into Distortion and Rythmn guitar though , but I like some of the Metal and Hard Rock groups  however. At least for listening,  Guitar in general is probably my favorite musical  instrument.  I listen to alot of music basically daily, but with just headphones because I live in a Apartment. I like some other instruments too, but used to be only able to play in real life a piano. I gave up piano lessons and recitals in the early  90s  once I got into buying my own  music. Most in my collection  being Rock oriented  music and bands. Mostly I like best both 80s and 90s Era  bands and music with some exceptions.  Some 1970s  music is okay, but it's more before my time and i own only a few records from that Era, but not very many. But yes I was born way back  in  1977!

Sorry for my long reply!

PC can be done, if you have the ability to do so. You can use the database to apply it.

I can add all the players to the rosters using gametocsv/csvtogame but what do I use to adjust the lines since NHL Hockey PC doesn't have a central registry like NHL 95 PC does?

@whiznant

Here's rosters for 1991-92 for NHL95PC. I just whipped them up this weekend. ANAHEIM, FLORIDA, OTTAWA AND TAMPA BAY are just filled with players I moved off the other teams but the 1991-92 teams all have rosters as of end of that season.

Enjoy.

teams.dbatt.dbkey.db

Thanks for your efforts man! Yeah, wish we could get rid of the extra teams and so a more realistic season could be played.

As an aside, there’s a version of the rosters (I have it) that someone went thru and raised the agility and checking to roughly (varies player to player slightly) to 130 and 100 respectively and this made the game speed like 20% faster. It’s really cool and adds a whole new dimension to the game. I’d share it here but for the life of me can’t find the files on my iPad, which is what I play it on using RetroArch. I know I found the files before because I somehow got a 96 roster in there that the adjustments got applied to also. Don’t know how exactly how that happened because I didn’t do it. It’s a real head scratcher. I can’t pinpoint either the zip file or the actual files (uncompressed) that I’m using to play the game. it shows me the name of the files in DOS box but when I go there and add the rosters that I want , it doesn’t affect in the actual game. 
 

anyway, might be fun for you to try that little adjustment to the attributes and see how you like it. I know a lot of people complain that the PC version is too slow and this makes it as fast as the Sega version if not faster.

Totally agree that it is too slow so I did adjust the speed and agility on most players. I find that the players are more aggressive if they're faster for some reason. Also noticed a few things that needed tweaking in those files i posted earlier.. St.Louis and Detroit had roster issues and I added a couple more players to other teams.
Try using these files instead.

att.db key.db teams.db

The version of the rosters/game I’m referring to, not only is the skating faster but the shots and passes are faster and the checking is more frequent and has more powerful impact. When playing with two faster teams the pace can be quite thrilling. The only changes I can see were the agility and checking so I’m not entirely sure that this is what’s causing the speed increase since the speed has apparently not been adjusted. The other thing I’ve considered is that this is a pal version and that’s causing the speed up since it was originally 50 Hz and now it’s running at 60 which I’ve heard can cause the game to run faster. However, the screen refresh rate is actually running at 70Hz as reported by RetroArch.

You mentioned that you thought the rosters of the original NHL 95 PC were based on the 92-93 season but I was under the impression the it was the 93-94 season? This faster version I’ve got is titled 92-93 season however. 

there's a simple program on here that you can use to adjust all the attributes to your liking. Give it a shot.

This is my modified version, customized attributes (wnhlinfo)

Thanks for responding! I’ve been wanting to ask you a question or two about it.

A) So as far as I can tell you’ve only modified the agility and checking attributes. Is this all that was done because the game speed increased noticeably?

B)I’m using an iPad with RetroArch to play this. Now granted, I’ve got a hot mess in regards to how all my files are arranged. They aren’t. So I’ve got many installations and it’s hard to know which installs have which rosters. Problem I’m having is I cannot find a way to insert rosters into the install that you created. I can find the files and insert rosters but when I go into the game, they aren’t there. I know I’ve done this successfully before because there is a 96 roster in there and somehow the attributes got increased like your roster did but I didn’t do that. So I don’t know how that happened. Do you have any clue?

The files I’m finding that seem to correlate with the game are in RetroArch/downloads/saves directory. That’s where I’m trying to insert rosters, but in order to play your game I’m using a zip file to get it going. That’s the only way I can find the executable that gets me into your game. There’s no exe in the saves directory. So when I open the zip file to play the game is it drawing from the RetroArch saves directory? 

Hope this is not too confusing. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. And I realize that this is more a question about RetroArch than your game. I know ultimately I need to erase all of my installs and start over fresh, but I’m reluctant to do that and would just like to get to the bottom of these mysteries. 

Edited February 22Feb 22 by whiznant

I edited the attributes in the wnhlinfo file and saved them in the game. After the game starts, I go to the Central Registry and save, for example, to the NHL 26.dbx. I'm sorry, my English is bad. That's why I'd rather just briefly. I don't know RetroArch, the game itself is simple as far as files and storage are concerned.

@whiznantthese are the files you want to put in your game folder from sparky's game. Find the HOCKEY folder and copy and paste these 3 files in there and it should work.

TEAMS.DB 20.34 kB · 0 downloads ATT.DB 14.08 kB · 0 downloads KEY.DB 37.38 kB · 0 downloads

Which rosters are these? What I’m attempting to do is put rosters into sparky’s game folders and see if the attributes get applied to the rosters I insert (fat chance but I at least wanted to try) since that seems to be what happened to the ‘96 roster I have in there. Apparently I had been successful with this before which is why it’s driving me bonkers. And I can’t figure out how the increased attributes got applied to the 96 roster. I sure don’t recall changing any attributes. I’ve inserted all my rosters into every installation I can find and they don’t appear in the central registry of sparky’s game. On top of all this I’m using a zip file to open his game but the ‘96 rosters are in there somehow. I just need to wipe everything and start over. Id love to have all my rosters with the attributes increased but I don’t want to go thru each and every player and change them. 
 

Thanks for trying to help.

i just grabbed sparkys roster files from his game files. good luck with your project.

Hi penguinFan1985, hoping you can help me out. I’m trying to use the 91-92 rosters you made but when I put the files in the 92 dbx folder I make the emulator locks up when I try to load the rosters. It seems it needs the files carteams db career db and season db. When I add copies of those form my files it works but only as far as loading the rosters. When I try to create a league it plays okay but I can’t merge and update the files without it crashing. Can you supply the proper carrer carteam and season db files or maybe let me know what you think is going on?

Seems to be working! Thanks for taking the time to help me out man. Finally I have a working ‘92 season! Wish I knew how you whipped that roster up so fast. One of these days I’m gonna dig into building rosters and find out what it’s all about. Would it be to much to ask for a 90-91 roster one of these days when you get some free time?

First, I just used the Central Registry in the game and moved everyone over to the teams until there weren't any others to move. Then there are some tools that you can use to change the rest of the names that need changing. I like to refer to https://www.hockeydb.com/ for the rosters and # of player jerseys. It's usually dependable. I might get to that 90-91 roster soon.
