UPDATED Release! NBA JAM Tournament Edition SE 5.02

@Asure does this have the ASIC defeat built in to play TE on reg JAM hardware? I tried burning UJ/UG12 and put them in a working reg Jam with scaler version 1.5 installed and it wont boot.
I didnt burn any other roms yet, I thought it should boot with just UJ/UG12 and possibly fail the rest, but wanted to make sure.
answered my own question. YES this will run on standard JAM hardware.
NO it will NOT run using 29F040 (I thought I could use these instead for testing erase WAY faster and program in 15 seconds instead of 2 min), I went back to 27c040 eproms and it booted right up.

Only problem I found on original JAM hardware with 1.5 scaler, is the splash screen doesnt display correctly, it flashes and is trying to do something, but its not displaying anything recognizable.

I will dig up a TE stack tomorrow if I can to see if its a scaler problem or a platform problem.

All Eproms checksums passes aslo, so i dont think its a corrupt rom.

Note, I left 4 original JAM eproms in place, they showed as green on boot, so I can also burn those if needed for testing ??

Thanks so much for this!

I wanted a flyer and marquee to have my frontend display for this edition, so enlisted the help of AI. Not perfect, it struggled with the net in the logo, so had to leave it out altogether. It also summarized points from the whatsnew txt, I might have added some different ones. Still, happy enough with it for my frontend . Attached is compressed, bigger one here:

Edit: Someone helped me find the "Special Players.txt" on an archive link, so I'm mostly good now. Only one left I can't find is Tim Coman. Anyone know if he's in this version? And if so, which dates work on this Special Edition.

Anyone else have any issues getting the MK players? Deleted nvram, but didn't make a difference. Raiden and Elviscious work for me, but not Kongo, Tim, Coman Grim Reaper, Subzero, Reptile, and Scorpion. I think I may be using the wrong dates . Anyone know what dates are used for these that they have tested? For example everything I find says Subzero is SUB DEC 5, but I was able to figure out NOV 5 actually works on this mod.

Also, I hope you guys made a version with yourselves in it, as that is 100% the first thing I would do if I knew how to compile this lol

We had the idea to do that, but for the sake of keeping the roms small and not needing hardware upgrades (so you can use 27C080/801) we didn't do that.
 
@Asure I know the announcer guy, Tim Kitzrow. on the credits his name was misspelled TIM KIZEROW are you able to fix that? I think there may be other typos, I'll have to track them down
