SNES Development
NBA Jam Tournament Edition

Players

$11/F995-$11/FAE8 Lower word of each portrait pointer (2 bytes per player; ordered by player value).
$11/FAE9-$11/FC3C Upper word (bank byte) of each portrait pointer (2 bytes per player; A bank byte in RAM ($7F) means the portrait is compressed).

Notes: Each player portrait is 0x6D0 bytes long. The first 0x690 bytes are the graphics data, which are in a unusual 5BPP planar composite format. The last 0x40 bytes are for the portrait’s 32-color palette (in the SNES’ standard 15-bit BGR format).

$44/8121-$44/83C8 Player name sprite pointers (4 bytes per player; ordered by player value).

Teams

$29/A231-$29/A26A Relative offsets for $29/A26B (in order by team value)

$29/A26B-$29/A2A4 Relative pointers to each team’s roster data (added to $16/98CF; in alphabetical order by team name, except All-Stars and Rookies are the last two).
$16/98CF-$16/A1DE Roster data (0x50 (80) bytes reserved for each team; 29 teams).

Notes: #$FFFE designates the end of a team’s combo data if the team has less than 20 pairings.
#$8000, when added to the second byte of the first player value in a combination, designates the first pair in the expanded roster of the team.
(e.g.: 1A 80 53 00 is the first hidden combo of the Boston Celtics: Dominique Wilkins/Xavier McDaniel. Changing the 80 to 00 would allow you to access all of Boston’s hidden players without beating the 27 NBA teams.)

$3F/B8CF-$3F/C9F8 Player definition data (0x1A bytes per player).
