Hi Vod -- Do you know if there's a way to get your launcher working with the Vintage 96/97 mod?  It crashes every time I try, but it may just be incompatible.  Really love what you've done.  Thanks!

I haven't tried that mod. Does it use the same nhl2004.exe as the rebuilt mod? That's the only .exe file that I support and should work with all conversion mods.

Not sure, but it seems to say version 1.01. Here's the link to the mod (it's under the "Official Downloads" section of this site):

Yeah the launcher isn't compatible with 1.01. You'll have to use the nhl2004.exe 1.04 that comes with the rebuilt mod.

I prefer the 1.01 exe so i use version 1.31.0.0 of your launcher.

Maybe upload that old version for people who also prefer 1.01?

Why do you prefer 1.01?

Because version 1.04 breaks the season central scoring leaders and that's annoying. Since i'm only interested in Widescreen i don't care i have to use an old version, never have problems.

An experimental workaround for that bug will be included in the next interface update. :)

Hey Vod. New around here. Anyway, I am having an issue using the launcher. I keep getting a memory error which causes it to CTD. You know, one of those application errors (It is for nhl2004.exe, so at least the launcher is launching the game).

The error reads: The instruction at 0x024dbf50 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.

The error causes a black screen in the game. I couldn't find any documentation of this happening to anyone else.

I am using the 1.04 no crack launcher and the game seems to work fine when I don't use the launcher (except the terrible normal resolution).

I am using the base rebuilt mods the only extra thing that I am using is the HDR mod.

I can't really think of any other information. The launcher isn't creating a log even with the creatlog = 1 argument in the .ini

Try without ENB. As noted in bold in the first post, there is compatibility issues with ENB. Also, make sure it's not being blocked by an antivirus program.

No dice. Deleting the ENB files did nothing. Same memory error.

Nevermind. I got it to work. For some reason I when I deleted the ENB, I had to redownload the launcher and restart for it to stop crashing. Thanks for the awesome mod!

Two quick pearls for you.

1. The mod and game work fine in windows 8.1
2. With your launcher the game runs fine in 4k. http://i.imgur.com/LfkJ1xh.jpg (Sorry had to jpeg compress a little to get imgur to host it.)

Listen Vod .I need some explanaiton :)

What is the process of creating such modding tools like biggui or playbyplay studio etc.

How do the coders "decrypt" the files and make them readable and editable without the original algorytm from EA sports?

for example audio files that are in *dat format. What is the process of making a program to be able to play a *.dat file?
