Where can I get an imaged hard drive for an 'NBA Jam on NBC'?
 
So I just format a HD and copy that file onto it and thats it?
 
What does it cost to convert to thumb drive use for the game? Does someone sell a kit?
 
Can any NBA Showtime be converted to the 'Blitz 2000 Gold / NBA Showtime Sportstation 3.0'?
 
With the correct security/boot roms and hard drive it should be possible since they both use the Midway Vegas hardware. The only question would be whether the video card's security chip (that is not socketed) for your game is the same or compatible with the NBA/Blitz combo.
 
Ok.. so verify the security chips first. That will determine if I buy the kit or just go with a standard HD.

You don't need to do that if you are just wanting to get a compact flash version of your NBA Showtime. I meant it would be a good idea to find out if you were thinking of going the route of converting the game to the Showtime/Blitz combo.
 
There is no difference between the video cards. Any NBA on NBC can be converted to NFL Blitz/NBA Showtime, just need the new boot rom, security chip and harddrive that you found on my website.
 
ok.. so I finally figured out the issue with this game.. the +5 volts line on the jamma connector seems to be burning the edge connector and once it gets enough resistance from slowly building up carbon ..it quits working. I may still get that kit to make the game more marketable. At least for now its up and running.
