NHL 2004 GAME

  • Download NHL 2004_CD1.iso and NHL 2004_CD2.iso
  • Add to virtual disk, you can use Daemon Tools Lite
  • When prompted, choose the →Advanced User, →Select performance settings and directory option, choose →Full, →All files copied to system. (1337.36 MB) → and then change the install directory. DO NOT INSTALL TO C:\PROGRAM FILES. The recommended location is to make the install folder in such as C:\NHL04
  • NHL04 Rebuilt 2021-2022

  • Download all files in folder
  • After downloading, right-click for each file, go to properties and click the „unblock“ button if it is there, otherwise you may get errors when trying to run the game. I recommend do this for all files in this section.
  • Run the interface.exe and extract to your C:\NHL04 directory. Overwrite all existing files.
  • Extract the rest of the files to your root C:\NHL04 directory. Overwrite all existing files.
  • ROSTER

  • Download roster.rar and unpack files
  • NHL 2004 Exh.exh, NHL 2004 Exh.exha.tdb and NHL 2004 OLExh.exh copy into C:\My Documents\NHL 2004\db
  • db.viv and tuning.viv copy into C:\NHL04\db
  • Launcher 1.45

  • Download Launcher 1.45.zip and unpack files to C:\NHL04
  • Start the game using launcher.exe
  • If Windows 10 users are having issues with the game starting, they may need to disable antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, or open up the launcher.ini file the program creates and add the line Windowed = 1 Additionally, try setting the compatibility mode for „nhl2004.exe“ and/or launcher.exe to run for Windows 8, and check the box to Run as Administrator.
  • As old and new launchers are incompatible and lot of tech issues appeared, we all will play this season on Launcher 1.45
