How the mod works

NBA Street Vol. 2 - Legendary Edition
Rosters & Ratings by agent_michael_scarn
Graphics by agent_michael_scarn, and using modified or original files from Mazzocchi


I created a mod based off the amazing 2016 Remix made by johnz1 and Mazzochi.
This is a near complete update for the GameCube version of NBA Street Vol. 2.
Special thanks to Johnz1 and Mazzochi for creating the original mod of this game.



Here are the things that have been changed from the original 2003 game:
- Updated rosters (up to and including the 2020-2021 season and legendary players)
- Updated player ratings (same overall ratings distribution as the original game)
- Updated jerseys including classic and/or alternative or player era specific jerseys
- Updated team logos (from original mod)
- Updated team apparel (shirts, shorts, headbands)
- Added The Dream Team
- Replaced Charlotte with Philadelphia
- Replaced cyberfaces for a handful of players (from original mod)
- Updated the ISO banner and info file (opening.bnr) (from original mod)
- Replaced the GameCube controller graphics with Xbox 360 controller graphics (from original mod)



=== INSTALLATION ===
This update requires that you own NBA Street Vol. 2 for GameCube and have an ISO file of the game. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR THE GAME OR THE ISO.

To play this game with the updated graphics, you must use the Dolphin emulator:
https://dolphin-emu.org/

I recommend using the latest development version because, at the time this was written, the latest stable release is over two years old.

To update the rosters and ratings, you must follow this process to extract all the game files, replace a few files, and recreate the ISO. This process requires the GCRebuilder utility:
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/619/

1. Open GCRebuilder.
2. Click on the "Image" menu at the top and select "Open".
3. Select the NBA Street Vol. 2 ISO file.
4. In the file browser on the right, right-click "root" and select "Export".
5. Choose a location to save the game files. This will only be a temporary location for these files.
6. In Windows, go to the "ISO Files" folder included in this package.
7. Copy everything in the "ISO Files" folder ("opening.bnr" and the "database" folder) and paste it into the folder where you previously exported the game files in step 5. If you did this correctly, you should be asked whether you want to overwrite the existing files. Choose yes.
8. In GCRebuilder, click on the "Image" menu at the top and select "Close". Alternatively, you can simply close and re-open GCRebuilder.
9. Click on the "Root" menu at the top and select "Open".
10. Select the folder that contains the game files that you exported in step 5 and modified in step 7.
11. Click on the "Root" menu at the top and select "Save".
12. Choose a location to save the new ISO and type in a name for the new file (something like "NBA Street Vol. 2 - 2016 Remix.iso").
13. Click on the "Root" menu at the top and select "Rebuild".

At this point, you have a patched ISO but the graphics and the save game file need to be placed into the appropriate Dolphin directory in order to be loaded:

1. Locate Dolphin's "User" directory. If you have a regular Dolphin installation, the Dolphin directory should be in your Documents folder, and the "User" will be inside that. If you have a portable installlation of Dolphin, the "User" directory is created in the Dolphin directory when you first launch the application.
2. For the "Dolphin Files" folder that is included in this package, copy the "User" folder into your Dolphin folder. If you have opened Dolphin before, it should overwrite the existing "User" folder. WARNING: THIS WILL OVERWRITE YOUR EXISTING DOLPHIN SAVE FILE.

For the textures to appear, copy the Textures folder and paste it in the Dolphin Emulator Load folder, which is wherever you installed the Dolphin Emulator
This will typically be under Documents/Dolphin Emulator/User/Load/

Note: DO NOT CHANGE THE GNZE69 subfolder name!

By default, Dolphin does not enable custom textures. This option must be changed in the graphics settings:
1. Click the "Graphics" button on the top bar in Dolphin
2. Go to the "Advanced" tab
3. Check the box for "Load Custom Textures"

Importing the included graphics updates is covered in this video - http://youtu.be/Se4jfbIZb4A

I also recommend the following graphics options:
- Aspect Ratio: Stretch to Window
- Widescreen Hack: Enabled
- Use Fullscreen: Enabled
- V-Sync: Enabled
- Hide Mouse Cursor: Enabled
- Internal Resolution: At least 2x (set higher if your system can handle it)
