Based off the NBA Basketball 2018 game hack, so it's primarily a roster update only (as of 01/31/2021)--with COVID-19 still hindering the situation. This is a fully functional game, but I consider it a beta/prototype because: missing 3 teams--including the Toronto Raptors! (sorry, I'm not currently fluent in ROM hacking enough to extend this game from 27 teams to 30 teams) missing 2 conferences (same; don't know how to hack this yet) updated player stats, but don't fully understand the player editor at the moment (though I have a good feel for it)

This is a revised (or updated) version of NBA Live '96 for Sega Genesis, using the Season Start date of 11/03/1995. This was done to better understand the internals of data usage (player name, attributes, rankings, etc.) and game mechanisms. Additionally, I've included some additional (hacked) features: add custom team & logo for 1996 USA Basketball Team (a.k.a. Dream Team II) add (hidden) missing legends to complete the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History as of 10/29/1996 add custom Rookies Team, with default players from 1995 All-Rookie Teams add custom Sophomores Team, with default players from 1994 All-Rookie Teams That being said, this is how the game should have been released! 1996 USA Basketball (Dream Team II) Hack: One of the "custom" teams in the game was hacked and given the 1996 USA Basketball logo and Dream Team roster via the "New Orleans Pelicans" hack: David Robinson Charles Barkley Scottie Pippen Reggie Miller Anfernee Hardaway Hakeem Olajuwon Karl Malone Grant Hill Rich Mitchmond John Stockton Shaquille O'Neal Gary Payton Please see "Instructions to play with 1996 Dream Team" below for details. Full List of Hidden 50 Greatest NBA Legends: In addition to the 27 Hidden NBA Legends included in the original game, I have added the remaining players to officially complete the list of 50 Greatest NBA Legends, as of 1996. Keep in mind some of those players were active in 1996, so they were not hidden and already listed on an existing roster.

When prompted about how to handle the Expansion Draft, select Draft Both Teams. Press Start to forfeit the draft (and select Yes to verify), but make note of the correct Toronto roster. Shortly after that, you'll receive a message about Vancouver, and then a black screen internal error message similar to this: Sega Library Internal Error allocvram failed! memo tot totd=-13120anteal u Power it off, restart the game, and begin to setup Dream Team via Roster Setup >> Trade Players. NOTE: Toronto and Memphis should already have their correct rosters, and if you're playing with the older Rev A or B, you're done--no more steps! Next, select the *last player* at the end of each bench--from ATL to LAL (but *skip* CLE)--and trade them to the Free Agents list. NOTE: You should end up with 13 players ready to use for the 1996 Dream Team roster e.g. Move "David Robinson" from ATL roster to FA list Then, setup an Exhibition game, and select the custom team Dream Team (previously known as "Stealers"). Finally, when prompted, start selecting the recently added players from the Free Agents list to the Dream Team roster.

This is basketball at the professional level. Full of international competition from the first jump ball to the last jump shot. Whether it's four on three or three on two - the action is fast and furious. And there are no favorites in this demanding play. You'll be called for double dribbling, cheered for every slam-dunk and carried off the court for making the winning free throw. But so will your opponent. So go for it. Your tough offense can put a "fast break" in the opposing team's stride while your defense remains solid as a rock. But think fast - because two can play at this game - and only one can win!

Because now you can power home a rim-rockin' slam! So pull up your shorts and take a deep breath. It's crunch time. Time to show your stuff!
