[max222]

Hi folks, i have the same problem with NBA Live 99 everytime i run it, just after the EA Sports intro the application get closed and i've got the error appearing " showmad.c ...." . so any idea ?

[Andrew]

Have you tried reinstalling the game since that started happening?

[max222]

yes !!! a lot of times but still the same error

[Andrew]

What's the full error message that comes up?

[max222]

ok but can you tell me how to make a screen shot ?

[joejam999]

Press Print Screen. Then go into paint and paste it.

[max222]

i don' know how to show the screen shot here
so this is what i got :

Abort Message

showmad - no MAD chunks found

File: showmad.c
Fonction: showmad
Line: 582

I don't remember ever running into that problem...have you installed either of the official updates for NBA Live 99?

[max2222]

yes, i've tried the first update then the second, but it's always the same problem

max2222, listen. The reason the game is giving you that error is because you downloaded it. There is no way to fix it. That's what you get for downloading the game.

no i have it on cd, i was playing all the time, he's old. and some files doesn't work correctly.
