Portrait patches for NBA Live 95?

[gamez]

I downloaded all the patches for NBA Live 95 (yes, I decided to go back to the good old days) and I was wondering if there are portrait patches for missing players (like Jordan, barkley...). I am wondering too if there are even more patches, or tools, or tutorials (maybe editing in-game sprites) for modifing this game.

[Andrew]

Most definitely. All the tools that Tim, Lutz and Brien made back in the day are available in our Downloads section.

Are Madman's portrait patches and Picture Patch V1.20 anywhere to be found?

[Andrew]

I'm surprised they're not in the database, perhaps they've been lost. I'll have to check my archives, if I can find them I'll post them.

[gamez]

OK, thanks Andrew. Hope you can find something.

[Andrew]

No luck so far but I'll keep looking. I have a feeling at least one of those updates was for NBA Live 97 though.

[gamez]

I guess Picture Patch V1.20 was created for NBA Live 97, but could work with older lives, and surely Madman has done portrait patches for nba live 97 too.

[Andrew]

The portraits were a little different in 97 from memory. Anyway, I'm still looking; if I can dig up anything I'll post about it but in case I forget keep checking out the main page as I post any file additions there as news bulletins.

[gamez]

Yes, as far as I have seen they are different in size, but they use the same file format ( .RSH and .HED) so, maybe resizing the pictures and them importing them could work (and don't forgeting that in 97 the large portrait were cards instead of faceshots). Anyway I have live 97 too, so I don't care if those patches only work for that game I am in a vintage live patching frenzy

[Andrew]

True, the tools still work so some manipulation and conversion is certainly feasible.
