Editing Period Names and Lengths
by Evan

Thanks to some of the editors of NHL94, we are able to edit the period lengths. Below are a few screenshots and tables to help you understand how this is done.

Changing the Purple 0258 will edit the overtime length. Changing the Blue 012C will edit the "5 minute periods" length. Changing the Orange 0258 will edit the "10 minute periods" length. Changing the Green 04B0 will edit the "20 minute periods" length.

Below are some of the period lengths you could try. Just remember to fix the text that goes with the lenghts using the 2nd and 3rd screenshots as reference.

001E = 30 seconds
003C = 60 seconds (1 minute)
00B4 = 180 seconds (3 minutes)
012C = 300 seconds (5 minutes)
01A4 = 420 seconds (7 minutes)
0258 = 600 seconds (10 minutes)
04B0 = 1200 seconds (20 minutes)

Screenshot 1

	» overtime period length (this is 10 minutes by default, to make it 5 minutes change the 0258 to 012C)
	» 1st game length setting (this is 5 minutes by default, which in hex 012C = 5 minutes)
	» 2nd game length setting (this is 10 minutes by default, which in hex 0258 = 10 minutes)
	» 3rd game length setting (this is 20 minutes by default, which in hex 04B0 = 20 minutes)

Here's how to change the names of the period lengths on the startup screen. Simply change the text of these items and that will be what comes up in the startup screen menu.
