Original Update 

NBA Live '21.bin

v1.1 Toronto Raptors Red & Black unis.

NBA Live '21 (98) (1.1).bin

Just in time for the 2021 NBA playoffs!

We've got updated rosters, more new logos (that OKC and MIN, ooowee!), and other playable teams like New Orleans Pelicans, USA FIBA 2019, Top NBA Rookie Draft Picks and All-NBA Sophomores.

Head on over to its Downloads page for more info...

PS - A big shoutout to @UltraMagnus for those updated logos. He be doin' it!

Based on the NBA Live '96 video game for Sega Genesis, this updated version contains the latest NBA teams and rosters for the 2021-2022 season (including a workaround to play with the New Orleans Pelicans). So enjoy your retro gaming hoops, but with the next generation players. Run a full season and win your way to the Finals, or lineup against the latest All-Stars (2021 Team LeBron vs. 2021 Team Durant). Check out the Rookies vs. the Sophomores, or perhaps give the 2020 USA FIBA team a go!

This is a roster update for the 2021-2022 NBA season. It is a fully functional game, but I consider it a beta/prototype because:

• missing 3 teams--Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, and Toronto Raptors
• missing 2 divisions--Southeast and Northwest ('22 Southwest is roughly equivalent to '92 Midwest)
• player facial features and skin tones are often incorrect

📝 NOTE: Started learning how to hack this ROM, so at least the season dates are correct (2021-2022) throughout the game. It looks more official that way, and will be back ported to my previous season ROMs.

Our friendly neighborhood @eskayelle has graced us NBA Jam 50 for PSX!

From his post...

One more Double Z Mod in all its 32-bit glory is here!

Get ready to razzle some dazzle with many of the greatest (and some questionable…) players from 1975 through 2025! Celebrating the last 50 years of basketball (and – in NBA Jam style – pop culture), NBA Jam 50 for PlayStation is a full art assets (portraits, heads, sound clips, etc.) update from the minds of Double Z and Wake that overlays the wackiness of those previous Double Z Mods on top of ponlork’s NBA Jam 2K22 engine. Get ready for some crazy mashups and matchups with the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Bronny James, Steph Curry, Larry Bird, Vince Carter, Magic Johnson, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups, Victor Wembanyama, and many more!

Do you BELIEVE in NBA Jam 50? You can’t see it till you play it, brother!

From the article...

It's been awhile, so let's get this going again with a functioning and playable POC version. Here are some quick notes:

*rosters updated for 2025-2026 season (as of 10/21/2025)

*players mainly overwritten in bulk by teams via preseason rankings (so, OKC will be #1)

*player attributes updated only--stats and player similarity overrides not added yet
