NHL '94: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Both NHL94 and nhl94-disassembly require an original NHL '94 Genesis ROM and are listed as unplayable on their own, but they serve different purposes. NHL94 is working toward a fully compilable, bitwise-perfect source for the game — code disassembly is listed at 0% complete while asset identification is around 90% done — building on an earlier NHL 92 compilable source and a separate NHL 92-94 disassembly. nhl94-disassembly instead offers an already-completed IDA Pro disassembly database, plus a plain-text listing, as a research reference, without aiming to produce a buildable or compilable game.
