Hack description

An all "New" Double Z Mod in all its 32-bit glory is here!

Leveraging assets from recently released arcade source, as well as with some customized heads, portraits and/or sounds from ponlork and resurrecta, plus additional assets and guidance from Mattrizzle, the PlayStation version of the NBA Jam T.E. – Double Z Mod brings players the following features:

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 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.

Ready for the next generation of the Double Z Mod? Step up and Razzle Dazzle!

PROTIP: Given the size of the file, download it via retrohoops.net.

(Just want to play with Jordan in your game? No other bells or whistles? Check out the Air Jordan Patch instead!)

May 30, 2021 Update: Added three more secret players, the marquee one being 80s/90s action movie legend Jean-Claude Van Damme!

June 5, 2021 Update: Monty Williams portrait correction.

June 6, 2021 Update: Correction to Bill Laimbeer's sound clip, plus Jimmy Butler sound clip improvement.

July 10, 2021 Update: Sped up inbounding, as well as unlocked certain play-by-play sounds. Tossed in a "Hadoken!" for fun!

July 16, 2021 Update: Added Shaq to the Magic roster, plus a couple other minor revisions.

Thank you	drk16	2021-10-21	Version 1.35
Yo thank you for this (and your other) NBA Jam mods and tutorials. They have provided countless hours of fun for me and my buddies. Highly recommended!

This mod can break the CPU AI. Just played my first game with it and there were multiple points where the CPU refuses to move at all.

No questions. DOWNLOAD NOW!!	mogulluxe	2021-05-28	Version 1.30
WHAT AN EXCELLENT MOD! This and NBA JAM '21 are absolutely legit. I got it to work on my PSIO. I can see myself and the homies playing this all summer using the PlayStation multitap for multiplayer action. In my opinion this is up there with the arcade version. In some instances it surpasses the arcade due to the dunks being crazier on this port. One tidbit, if possible, PLEASE FIX THE SPEED OF THE INBOUND PASS AFTER A TEAM SCORES. It really slows the pace of the game. Keep up the GREAT work! Highly recommended. 10/10!!! KILLER SOUNDTRACK TOO!

Well this is rather exciting	InAnotherCastle	2021-05-26	Version 1.30
Being a big fan of all the NBA Jam games up to and including Hangtime this has me rather excited. The SNES version of NBA Jam TE was what I played the most, and somehow I can't quite get into any mods of that version. Of the other versions I've tried over the years - Saturn, Genesis, PSX - the PSX one seemed to have the most unrealised potential. This hack and the 2021 mod referenced which I've yet to try are both very exciting developments that I'll be keeping an eye on. This hack plays well in its current version. Played on a PSX via PSIO. PS: Love the new soundtrack... Rick Astley is somehow very fitting :-)
