This is a batch file that will launch the NBA Live 98 executable with the 3DFX flag, in case you encounter any issues while creating a desktop shortcut.
Please note that you must have the nGlide wrapper from Zeus Software for the 3DFX flag to work.
Installation
First, download nGlide from Zeus Software: https://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide
Once installed, extract nbawin.bat to your NBA Live 98 folder. You can then create a shortcut to this batch file on the desktop, or run the batch file from your NBA Live 98 folder to launch the game. This assumes that you have followed the rest of the directions to get NBA Live 98 working in Windows 7/8.1/10.
