Now, with fully functioning backglasses! No longer relies on the Pinmame LCD display or Freezy's Alphanumeric displays (although they are still beautiful and superior!)
Modification of Armyaviation's Ice Fever that allows selecting home and away teams from all 32 NHL franchises. Hold down left magnasave to change away team with left/right flippers, and hold down the right magnasave to change home team. Holding down either or both magnasaves and pressing the launch button advances team selection by an entire division. The program might freeze for a few seconds to change teams. You can hold down both magnasaves to change both teams at once. Teams are arranged by division and then alphabetical by city.
Thanks to Armyaviation for allowing to modify his table. I never could have done it from scratch!. Also thanks to Wildman for letting me use his backglass as a starting point. His original backglass still works with this table. The included backglasses all show the team uniform changes and the scores and other backglass stuff. There is a "Classic" Version, mostly like Wildman's Backglass, a "City LED" version which simulates an alphanumeric display showing team names/cities, and a Widescreen version, specifically formatted for 16:9 screens that includes team logos.
I included setup instructions to help anyone with the alphanumeric displays and a new wheel image. Do you wish to use a retired uniform or college team? I also included the photoshop template I made to create the playfield and backglass images.

What's New in Version 2.2 (See full changelog)
- Finally, proper, fully functioning backglasses that show team changes, scores, and all other backglass stuff with no need for Pinmame LCD or Freezy DMDExt windows to be dragged onto it!
- Minor fix to shooting puck animation. Minor tweaks to script to remove duplicate backglass commands.
- Changed b2s and table to fix disappearing flyers and rangers on backglass. Must update both table and b2s to work.
- Created b2s files that also change team colors.
- Updated all team playfield graphics, fixing errors.
- Combined two tables into one with 32 teams plus original graphics.
- Decreased time to load team changes by about half.
- Added option to skip teams by division using magnasaves + launch button.
Screenshots
Awesome job on the table mod. One question --- The team names display correctly on the b2s. However, the scores won't display in their b2s spots. The only way I can get the scores to display is using vanilla DMDEXT (which puts them in the single DMDEXT box), but I want to be able to have the scores displayed in the b2s slots like the backglass screenshots. What am I missing?
EDIT -- I have this working now. I read the setup.txt included which was excellent. The only thing that differed on my setup is that I needed to edit DmdDevice.ini instead of Dmdext.ini
What was the difference w/editing Dmddevice.ini vs Dmdext.ini? What ended up working for you? Did the score appear on the BG? I was unable to get the score on the BG so I had to turn on external DMD (F1).
My cabinet only had the DmdDevice.ini and did not even have DmdExt.ini. If you are editing one of those files, you need to have external DMD turned on. When you have that file successfully edited and the table loads, you'll see 6 seperate DMD displays over the table (4 individual scores, a credit counter, and a ball counter). You then drag those one by one to the backglass. When you exit the table, the positions of those will be auto-saved to the ini file you updated earlier.

I see the score on my DMD but not 6 displays so not sure how you got that ..hmmmm...
Read the setup file and be sure to install dmdext. It is awesome! My apologies to rangers and flyers fans. When the top bumper is hit, the backglass loses the home team image. I'm stumped! It's almost as if the rom is getting shadow messages through somehow! Just like I couldn't use b2s id's 50 and 51, it seems like 105and 106 are troublesome too! I'll figure a workaround!

I love the first two division tables released and having them combined is fantastic. The new backglass looks great as well. I typically do not have issues but this one has me stumped. Everything is OK except for the scores being behind the backglass and having to alt-tab to each one to get them to display each time I start the table. I have checked everything including "bring to top" option (which I tried both unchecked and checked). Not a big deal if on desktop but not ideal for cabinet. Any tips? I am sure it is simply me overlooking something.
I have the same problem. I know I changed the video preferences to not run in exclusive fullscreen mode and that seemed to work, but then I still have to alt-tab my way through sometimes.
Also, I just fixed my error with the disappearing home teams and re-uploaded. You need to update both table and B2s to work properly.
Great work on the backglass!
This is really a labor of love with all the teams! Of the many older style tables, this really ranks high. It has three fun shots; the hat trick, and the two lanes leading to ICE to try to get the extra ball. Thank you for your work on this. These kinds of tables are the reason I have spent money and a lot of time building my own cabinet.
If you have any tips as to why my table loads a ball when it starts the first time I would appreciate it. When I close out VPX and load the table again it does not happen.
Looks great. Thanks!
This is awesome.. If I had photoshop I would add my men's league teams to this table, how fun would that be when I have one of my teammate or rival teammate over
