Patrick Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 What about bytes? What topic would be best? Im in the market to get more of them... Quote
mack Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Open in NOSE - Select Rom from the headings at top - apply hack - free bytes - then try both available options. I know they work for 92 if that's what you're looking for. Quote
clockwise Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Hot hex-sex. What a great lexicon of editing knowledge. I'll create tutorials for all the 30 team rom stuff, eventually. Quote
sublime Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Noticed how the roster updated roms have different fonts as well. Anyone like to volunteer to throw a quick tutorial together on that? Much appreciated Quote
smozoma Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Posted October 4, 2009 Noticed how the roster updated roms have different fonts as well. Anyone like to volunteer to throw a quick tutorial together on that? Much appreciated I think the fonts are just graphics, so if you can find the font graphics in the ROM in tilemolester, you can just edit them there. I don't know where they are, though. Quote
NHL94user Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Is there any way to increase the amount of selecatable teams? if so, how Quote
PixelDragon Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 30 is the limit. I have an interest for a Rom with more than 30 team, why is 30 the limit ? Can someone explain me please Quote
smozoma Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 added links to Kaneda's site and his forum. He's the guy who did the goalie button hack Quote
smozoma Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 I have an interest for a Rom with more than 30 team, why is 30 the limit ? Can someone explain me please That's how wboy made it. It's a complicated process moving all the data around to enable extra teams, and linking up the additional graphics and palettes. Only wboy knows how to do it, and he may have settled on 30 teams (actually I think there are 32 teams with the all star teams) due to some limitation. Similarly, when I made the SNES NHLPA'93 64-team ROM, it would have been easier to just do 32 due to a graphical limitation (the video memory can only hold 32 full team banners at once), but I did some wacky stuff to get around the limitation (broke the banners up and made it re-use parts of the banners multiple times).

trudatman Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 still planning a SNES NHL '94 30-team ROM? Quote
smozoma Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 still planning a SNES NHL '94 30-team ROM? I would like to, but it's time-/motivation-dependent. Quote
trudatman Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 within reason, how do I motivate you? I'd be willing to help with the tedious parts. Quote
smozoma Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 I don't think anyone can provide the motivation. My motivation is for the community in general, that we'd have a SNES ROM that could be edited to get current rosters and logos. This could bring more people into the SNES community, which would start up leagues, and whatnot... Quote
smozoma Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 so... do it. yeah, doesn't help the motivation Quote
trudatman Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 well, does it hurt? I'm serious in offering my limited skillset for assistance. the league isn't likely to go back to less than thirty teams any time soon. Quote
JayLighter420 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Posted October 30, 2011 is it possible to make a version of 94 with no goalie limits? no time restrictions & no crease restrictions? i wanna drive down ice with my goalie while running people over Quote
smozoma Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Posted October 31, 2011 is it possible to make a version of 94 with no goalie limits? no time restrictions & no crease restrictions? i wanna drive down ice with my goalie while running people over refer to the links above and follow these ones: Disable or lengthen the Goalie play stoppage whistle - (Feb 6 2010) - clockwise, smozoma -- use the disable method Let the goalie roam farther with and without the puck - (Feb 7 2010) - smozoma -- I added another case in the post showing how to let the goalies go anywhere Quote
da94wookiee Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Does the wandering goalie ROM already exist somewhere? Quote
smozoma Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Posted October 31, 2011 Does the wandering goalie ROM already exist somewhere? nope I should make a 'how to use these hacks' guide, showing how to use a hex editor... although it's pretty simple if you give it a try (open the file, go to the location, change the value, save!) Quote
JayLighter420 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 i tried useing the hex editor last night, i failed. rom wouldnt start after i saved. def did something wrong, probably wasnt changing what i was supposed to be changing. maybe i'll mess with it more tn. Quote

If you use the original NHL94, it won't work because there is some code that detects if you modify the ROM (using a 'checksum'). But if you use any other ROM, it'll be fine because they'll have Or, you can manually kill the checksum in the original ROM using this technique: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/109-rom-hacking-ea-genesis-games/page__view__findpost__p__89392 OFFSET: 0300 OLD VALUE: 4EB9 000F FAC0 NEW VALUE: 4E71 4E71 4E71 Quote
JayLighter420 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) holy s**t i did it! thx smozoma!!!!! its waaayyyyy more fun than i thought it'd be! i'll post it later fur sure couple notes: goalies can take each other out but they BOTH fall down and they look like regular laid out skaters till they get back up, its pretty funny. i can only take the goalie out of the crease if the goalie is in view any way to change that? i need moar goalie!

Haha, that's awesome. I never thought of what might happen if they ran into each other... I've noticed that, you can't really do anything with the goalie control if he's not on screen.. I have a rough idea of how disabling that would be done, but I don't know if I'll ever do any more hacks to be honest.. time/motivation just isn't there. Quote
