Badger's NBA Live 06 Fixes/Renovation - NEW Widescreen Update Released

[Murat]

Hi everyone,

I released plugins for windowed mode and widescreen support for NBA Live series, which includes NBA Live 06 too.

Please check it out and enjoy!

Thanks again for the great work! These are the kind of resources we need to support the retro/classic basketball gaming community.

We have new updates ladies and gentlemen!

I fixed aspect ratio for UI components and provided a custom resolution for the menus. Therefore you don't need to run the game in 640x480 as you can change the resolution. Please re download both windowed mode and widescreen plugin, as their contents are merged into one ini file instead of separate ones.

Here is a video for NBA Live 06 to demonstrate the updates

Excellent!

One of the things I wanted to improve was the quality of 2x crowds. Recently I succeeded at this by some hex editing.

Here are some previews;

1x crowd, default


2x crowd, improved


what I did was upscaling crowd textures by AI tool.

This works for NBA Live 06 too.

Nice enhancement!

Right now we are adapting UI components for widescreen. While doing so, I fiddle with the UI file responsible for changing in-game camera.

I made a small change and now you can play with Press Box camera in NBA Live 06 at practice and 1v1 mods.

That's awesome! We really overlooked making quality of life fixes like this for many years, so it's awesome to see them now that these games are gaining value as retro gaming favourites.
