NHLView NG First Release

  • After several long years of development, NHLView NG is finally available for download. Please grab it in the newly created NHLView NG section of the website. I would like to thank everybody for all the patience you exhibited in the past month as I prepared this release. I received a lot of positive feedback and great comments from a lot of people. I’m also extremely grateful to all the people who helped me test the program. Without you, this release would not have been possible.
  • While I may reply to email questions, I encourage you to post bug reports and questions in the NHLView NG forum. Not only you might have a chance at a faster response from another user, but it also keeps a better history of bugs and allows me to properly assemble the tasks when times comes to fix them.

NHLView NG Imminent Release

As I’m readying the initial release of NHLView NG, I invite those who plan on downloading and using the program to register or recover the password for your forum account. As was the case previously with NHLView PC, I’m planning to mostly use the forums for receiving bug reports and offering support for problems you may be experiencing and questions you may have. Due to problems with spam, I’m forced to manually approve all registrations. There is a field in the registration form that is designed to distinguish real users from bots. Please make sure to fill it in such a way that I’m able to know you are not a bot. Also, please be patient with account activation, it may take me a few hours to activate it. If you do not receive an activation within a day, please contact me by email. Thanks.

TDBView for PS3/XBox 360

Several people contacted me with a request for an updated TDBView which supports NG databases. You can grab the updated version from TDB Viewer section. It supports native opening of PS3 save games. For Xbox 360, you need to use third-party tools to extract the TDB database from the savegame. As before, this tool is completely unsupported; it is my internal utility when programming NHLView. It digs into low-level details and doesn’t have a great user interface.

Progress Update 2013/09

NHL 14 came out not that long ago, so it’s time for my yearly NHLView update. Over that last few months I’ve been actually able to put significant time into advancing NHLView NG so that it’s ready for this NHL season. And I’m happy to say that it has almost all the basic functions I wanted for the initial release. Keep checking this page in the upcoming weeks for the release information; in the meantime, here are some new screenshots from NHL 14 database:

Happy New Year 2013

  • Happy New Year everyone, especially to those who still visit this page. One day it will happen – new NHLView will see the light of day. Today is not that day, but some exciting news does come for PS3 owners. Recent developments in PS3 reverse engineering made it finally possible to decrypt and re-encrypt roster save files for NHL 11, 12 and 13 (previous save games were not encrypted). Now the only real obstacle left is time.
  • In the meantime, I created a poll in the forum to help me evaluate how many people play the game on various platforms. Please cast your vote, you do not even need to be registered (although I would appreciate if you do, or at least log-in if you have an account). Thank you.
