[nbajamt1] [nbajamt2] “Fatalities Enabled” cheat

Post by editing101 »

Hello everyone, being a fan of NBA Jam TE, I’ve come across a cheat that let’s you perform ‘fatalities’ in [nbajamt1] and [nbajamt2]. While it is possible to enable this cheat with button presses, I think it would be much easier if it was adapted into a ‘cheat option’ in the mame cheats menu. NOTE: This only works of revisions 1 and 2 of TE.

Normally, on the team select menu, if you hold PASS, then hold UP, and then quickly press PASS 9 times, a box drops down indicating ‘fatalities’ are enabled!

Here’s a few screengrabs to confirm it’s existence:

I haven’t discovered all of the effects yet, but one of them I found was that when you are ‘on fire’ and shove the other players, they start to burn up like MK’s Scorpion fatality (see above)!

I have save states before and after if anyone needs them. Thanks in advance :D !

Sounds interesting, just did a quick check and I think 10f10d0 is the address...
Add to nbajamte1.xml and probably nbajamte2.xml

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Fatalities Enabled!">
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pb@010F10D0=01</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.pb@010F10D0=00</action>
    </script>    
  </cheat>

Any chance of a video for this?

This is kind of amazing. I just found a newsgroup post from the 90s where a guy is claiming to have seen the "Fatalities enabled" cheat in action, but no one believes him.

It's crazy how there are still undiscovered secrets like this and the Mortal Kombat menus that are just being discovered.
