Upgrade Your Double Z Mod Experience with the Japanese Version! The American version of NBA Jam T.E. being one of the first PSX release discs in the States, some AI fixes were implemented in the Japanese rom that was issued close to a year later. This Double Z Mod takes advantage of those AI edits and moves over eskayelle / Double Z’s previous mods to the Japanese game. Given the above, you’ll still have the following features present in the American Double Z Mod... Battle from worst to first in campaign mode, with standings loosely based on the 1992-93 NBA season. Players like Shaq, Jordan, Magic and Barkley have been restored! Secret players like Sub-Zero, Reptile, Scorpion, and Bart Simpson, are all accessible. Even Smoke and Noob Saibot are in this game!!! Wanna play as Chris Webber? Hakeem Olajuwon? Scottie Pippen? Just like the arcade version, several 90s superstars are available both on teams and as secret players. Detroit Bad Boys Laimbeer, Thomas, and Rodman are all available as secret players. The 72-10 Chicago Bulls are here! Jam with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc and… Longley… Think the AI still plays a bit too rough? Why not fight back with a super cheat. Use the code Right, Right, Left, Right, X, X, Right at the Tonight’s Match-Up screen to achieve true Maximum Offense and Defense. Fight back with everything but fire! The Rookies have been rebalanced with more Eddie Jones and Tony Dumas. Plus, Brooks Thompson has been restored. What other Superstars do you need when you have the Dream Team??? Beat the game in campaign mode to access the 1992 Olympic gold medalists. Not a fan of the watered down house rock? Enjoy some ‘80s and ‘90s jams as well as some classic 16-bit Jam tunes instead. A quick palette fix adjusts the attribute colors on the player select screen. Also, beyond the original programming setting apart the American and Japanese roms, this mod boasts two different 90s tracks for the in-game music, plus a few different Dream Team roster combos, as well as an Astroblast-style stats font. Interested in this version of the Double Z Mod, exclusively for the Japanese rom? Download the patch today, and apply it to the Japanese PSX NBA Jam T.E. game!

Based on the NBA Live '96 video game for Sega Genesis, this updated version contains the latest NBA teams and rosters for the 2022-2023 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 2022 NBA All-Stars (Team LeBron vs. 2022 Team Durant). Check out the 2022 Rising Star Rookies vs. 2022 Rising Star Sophomores, or perhaps give the 2021 USA FIBA team a go! Additionally, I've included some other (hacked) features and/or fixes in this season: fixed season stats - finally worth reviewing and playing in Season Mode (close enough to '96 quality)!!! fixed hidden/missing legends to complete the NBA 75th Anniversary Team by adding several to end of some rosters (see below) will backport lessons learned starting with NBA Live 23 HWC (Rev B) 💡 TIP: Although you only need the Game MD file (or ROM) above to play the game, I suggest you also download and use the "Save" memory file above if possible in your gaming environment because it will already have the New Orleans Pelicans (NOP) configured, as well as the custom Rookies, Sophomores, 2021 USA FIBA team, and the NBA 75th Anniversary Team legends categorized as Extra.

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.
