The reason why the following hidden characters were removed: Lorraine Olivia was removed because she appeared nude in Playboy magazine. The NBA thought it would've been inappropriate to have her in this kid-friendly game. Kerri Hoskins (the same reason why Lorraine Olivia was removed) Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden and Reptile were removed, because the NBA did not want NBA Jam associated with such a violent game series like Mortal Kombat. Kongo was removed, because it was looked upon as a racial stereotype (think about it) Elvislicious was taken out, because all things Elvis were copyrighted, which the developers of the game, didn't have the rights for. Grim Reaper was removed, because it was deemed too disturbing for younger players of the game.
Creating players in NBA Hangtime was so much fun. My cousin and I would create big, fat guys who had no stats whatsoever and it was the funniest thing ever. So many hours spent laughing hysterically. Great memories!
NBA Jam Switch should get: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Daisy, Donkey Kong, Bowser Jr. Petey Piranha, Koopa Troopa, Rosalina... Like so: Bowser, shoots for three! Donkey Kong, get that outta here!
I remember reading in Gamepro about the Beastie Boys, or at least MCA, being in Tournament Edition at one point. I also remember back in the day when my now former church would meet at a community center in town before it got its own building. One weekend an event was held where an NBA Jam Tournament Edition cabinet had been placed at the center and was still there that Sunday, so several of us went over and played it after church. I put in the code to play as John Tobias and was part of the winning team. That Sunday was a blast.
They're actually still in the game (fortunately) I no longer have 2.0 version unfortunately, but to my surprise, THE CODES STILL WORKED!!!! But not the MK characters and others unfortunately.
Man I knew they had to take out Mortal Kombat characters in NBA Jam TE after the first couple of versions, but didn't know they also removed a bunch of other characters, even Kerri Hoskins (later Sonya in MK3)
I didn't know T.E. had secret characters...I always hated T.E. because of that but here I am getting my mind blown. My childhood is now ruined cause I missed out
FWIW the Arcade1Up NBA JAM version is based on 3.01 ROM -- modded to remove any characters they couldn't get license for. Hoskins and Olivia work on the TE version! Rev 4.0 for TE.
1:02 Matt Booty. Haha legendary photo. Is that the same Matt Booty that is now President over at Microsoft Gaming / Xbox? If I worked with him, he'd likely get a birthday cake with that photo on it. It looks like they had a lot of fun there.
Jason Skiles name on the source code is JASON but his PIN is ZER,SEV,TWO,SPC. I tried 0729 and it worked. He's actually in the game. There probably is a PIN for MDOC that I asked you about but it would take time to find it. I'm pretty sure the first two numbers are 20 but the last two could be any combination of 0 to 9 and SPC. If you find it let me know.
@@rustyshobbies8430 That code doesn't work. They made M-DOC unplayable. Source code has it as 2,0 null, null. He's in the arcade1up cab but you can't play as him. Even codemystics verified that.
the first version of tournament edition I wish didn't get all those silly characters like the goofy Halloween monsters and mortal Kombat fighters, they were funny additions
Hey man, great video. At 6:57, it doesn't appear that this code works. I've played against people who have unlocked this character, but the code listed does not unlock them. Any chance there was a typo?
@@Restalgia I confirmed that it works. It's only on Maximum Hangtime and not the original (which is why there is an * next to it). I used revision 1.03. Make sure you put a space between K and Day. He has no record but he still comes up.
@@DarthMarino hmm. I know he is unlockable in regular hangtime too as I was playing against someone online using him on the arcade1up hang time version. Any suggestions?
I am having trouble unlocking Sal Divita in the SNES and Sega Saturn versions. The SNES code is different on every website, and I tried all the input methods I saw and it didn't work. On the Saturn, you are supposed to hold down L+R while entering the initials DIV, and the birth date Jul 03. I even tried it in slightly different ways and it didn't work in this version either! What the hell am I doing wrong?! Can anyone help???!
@@tuxysmagicaljukebox5431 Worked for me. Gamefaqs has it listed the same way. What specific version of the game are you playing? Original? Who is on the Suns in the version you are trying?
Midway lost the rights to the name to Acclaim so they had to continue the series under different names which is why Hangtime and Showtime are also included in addition to the three NBA Jam games.
@@jillianmuse7919 I don't have the Arcade 1up but they altered the ROMs to remove some players so it wouldn't surprise me if they also removed some of the hidden characters. For Tournament Edition, they may be using the later version of the ROM which removed a bunch of hidden characters. I have these marked with an asterisk.
@@DarthMarino Okay thanks bro :) And something else. I saw the files but I don't understand what I'm seeing and some of them won't open. Question where do I go to find the hidden characters and how they programmed the drones?
Just bought a ps1 2 controllers a memory card and nba jam extreme! The game my brother and i grew up playing! Rather play this any day then fortnite lmao if your not a 90s baby you just don't understand! Amd who here has ever been almost beat the game and your memory card ends up screwing up and deleting everything?? Lol it was one of the most mentally devastating days of my brother amd i young lives lmao
I don't believe anyone really knows them. People have gone through the arcade ROMs of all but Showtime to make sure there are no players we don't know about but I don't think they have been able to fish the stats out at this point. I do believe I read they are unique to each player and aren't just the same as the person you are replacing.
@@Nickkkk838 I don't want to give out the link since the legality of the content is questionable though you can find it pretty easily with a google search. I will go through it and put the stats up on gamefaqs when I get some time.
I'm looking through and I might not be able to get all the stats. They have the MK characters and the cheerleaders but that's all I've found so far: Speed, 3 ptrs, Dunks, Passing ;Power, Steals, Block, Clutch ;27 MORTAL KOMBAT .word 07,07,09,05 .word 08,04,05,04 ;SCORPION .word 08,06,09,03 .word 08,01,09,05 ;RAIDEN .word 07,08,09,05 .word 02,07,04,08 ;REPTILE .word 08,08,09,05 .word 05,07,04,02 ;SUB ZERO .word 08,09,03,05 .word 02,03,01,08 ;HOSKINS .word 09,08,09,07 .word 03,08,02,08 ;OLIVIA
Hey everyone I saw Marc Williams MDOC on Arcade1up NBA Hangtime when I played today. I thought he was just on Maximum Hangtime. Does anyone know his name & pin cause 2099 and 2000 do no work.
I checked the source code for you and it's weird. He's listed as MDOC as expected but the PIN is odd. It's listed as TWO,ZER,NUL,NUL . He's the only player with "NUL" in his PIN. I tried 20__ and it still didn't work. Very strange. He's set up as a secret player but looks like he has a non working PIN.
@@DarthMarino Hey thanks for replying. Question, the source code you're referring to. Is it Arcade1up's cabinet or the actual arcade cabinet's source code? I wanted to know because I have the Arcade1up cabinet and would really like to modify the software if possible.
@@teddyy80 For the actual arcade ROM. I tested in MAME. You can play as him in MAME but its listed as "invalid code". The source code was released a few months ago so this just confirms that he's not playable in vanilla Hangtime.
@@DarthMarino Oh okay. He must be playable in this game otherwise he wouldn't have shown up as a secret character to play against. I contacted Codemystics on their message board forum and they haven't hit me back yet. They said a while back the only characters they were forced to take out were PERRY (Matthew Perry), MEDNIK (Cary Mednik), MILLER (Reggie Miller), and GLENNR (Glenn Robinson). It was strange about Mednik because he's the referee and also worked for Midway. Oh well.
@@DarthMarino I know all that stuff. I'm fresh off a vid where Mark Turmel said some stuff about Michael being in early ROMs and special cabinets of the game... And it's got me on a goose chase for beta version.
@@pappagetti A few years back he said he had the ROMs in his closet and he would look for them. I was quite excited but at this point, I don't think it's happening.
@@DarthMarino have you gotten maximum hangtime to work? I can only get the original hangtime and the jam games to work. Keeps saying files are missing.
@@DarthMarino which mame version are you using? Also does it require a chd file? I want to play maximum but it wont start and there is no help from mame makers.
