EARE - EA ROM Editor

EARE is a program for editing some aspects of the classic Sega Genesis console hockey video game, NHL '94.

Though there is already a very good NHL '94 editor called NOSE, it hasn't been updated in several years. EARE picks up where NOSE left off, implementing some of the hacks that NOSE doesn't have, so ROM designers can easily do the following:

• Change Team Ratings
• Change the Offense/Defense/PP/PK/Home/Away strengths of the teams.
• Change the number of teams selectable in the main window.
• Set the player pictures if you have switched the teams players are on (an incredibly tedious task without EARE).
• View, but not edit, team rosters and lines (They can be edited with NOSE. I needed to read this information for the other features, so displayed it).

A list of future features follows this screen shot...
