Hacking NBA Jam: Interesting files inside..

[TyRaNtM]

With WiiScrubber, you can see that a lot of files are extremely easy to modify, because the format that the game uses for options are nearly XML style config and some .txt files.
Here is a example:

Spoiler

fgm_index.xml:

















.
.
(BOSS INFO, DELETED BECAUSE IS SPOILER!)
.
.

BUT, i found two interesting files that maybe will have everyone talking about it:
fgm_online_2v2_h2h.xml and fgm_online_2v2_multi.xml, both in gamemode folder.

The thing is, the game could have online, like a DLC unlockable or are dummy files.
But, the files inside aren't dummy, have data like the other ones.

What you posted has spoilers for the bosses in the game. Could you edit out the names of the bosses?

 

[Naydog101]

Question I have for you is this, are you going to upload the game?

 

[TyRaNtM]

Oh, you are right, i will delete that.
PD: Deleted that spoilers.

 

[undercarris]

maybe it is the code that the two programers where making to have online... maybe its the unfinished version or something

Buy it and up-load it into your automobile- and when you get home, down-load it, then upload it to your console!

OT: Interesting finds, though I doubt that an online mode could be unlocked in this manner.

have to know alot about basketball to know who those names are, unless you google them, but yeah. Someone like me that only really know that NBA Jam is cool but not a lot of their names, I don't know some of those. But you did mention Spoiler Alert so if someone doesn't want to know those names shouldn't look anyway right?

Never watched a game of basketball in my life, I've seen parts of the Looney Toons movie (Space Jam) and that's it. I plan on getting NBA Jam because it looks fun, and I don't want to spoil it.

The spoiler tag was used here to hide a block of text, not mark actual spoilers.

 

[TyRaNtM]

Well, also that both files about online aren't in fgm_index.xml, so, if you add the modes in the xml, maybe we can enter to "online".

Yeah I know, but earlier that block of text showcased the names of the bosses before he went back and deleted those lines, but still it was marked spoiler. Think it would be cool though if online got added somehow, sometime

So basically, there possibly was going to be online for this game, but they decided to trash that in favour of an earlier release?

Yes exactly, only ps3 and 360 will get online.

Maybe is a uncomplete online or like i say before, they will DLC a online, because isn't a coincidence that a lot of online code is inside the game.
Also, i found another file that have a text that says online info: data/common/overachiever/BounceProject.xml.
This file is for achievements. Also, the file is too big to post here, but have this info:

The game has also online Achivements.

That is pretty cool

 

[jan777]

I guess they just "ported" things around with the PS360 and wii versions.

 

[geoflcl]

Grr, this burns me up. You can tell they were really going to with an online portion for the Wii version. So close, yet so far.

 

[meohsix]

it would be cool if we could put our own heads into the game. i had a quick look at the files in the disc, but didn't see anything related to player images? i guess its named something weird and or packed inside some other file.
i was hoping it would be laid out easy like player/body/heads

oh well...

 

[djbubba2002]

I was playing it on the wii its ok , I like the PS3 ver better.. it has online
