Here's a new discovery I've made in the arcade version of NBA Jam Tournament Edition.
This was found in the U13 ROM at 34F4C-3711D. Unlike the expletive-filled SNES NBA Jam prototype, this version is censored. It may not have always been that way though. The sound is stored in three pieces, the first being "Get that sh," the second being the beep, and the third being "out of here!" This allows the middle part to be swapped out easily. The uncensored middle part hasn't been found yet, if it even exists.
Makes me wonder if Tim Kitzrow was lying about that prototype being fake...
For anyone who wants to rip the audio from T.E. or the original NBA Jam, the U12 and U13 ROMs contain all of the announcer's speech.
You can rip from these files using the following steps in Audacity*:
- In the File menu, go to Import, and select Raw Data...
- Open one of the sound ROM files.
- For NBA Jam, open either nbau12.bin or nbau13.bin.
- For NBA Jam TE, open either te-u12.bin or te-u13.bin.
- In the Import Raw Data dialog box, change the settings to the following:
- Encoding: VOX ADPCM
- Byte Order: Big-Endian
- Channels: 1 Channel (Mono)
- Start Offset: 0 bytes
- Amount to Import: 100%
- Sample Rate: 8000 Hz
- Click Import.
- Click the play button to hear all of the sounds in the file in succession.
* Audacity version 2.0.1 was used in the creation of this tutorial.
