An oddity is that an NBA licensed game appears in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Chronicle section.

This needs some investigation.

Hidden Cheat#

A fairly elaborate cheat that would enable debug info in game can be accessed with the below inputs. It only appears to enable a basic crash handler seen below. Before the game boots up, press and hold the following buttons:

  • On controller 2, press and hold C-Up + B + C-Left + L.
  • On controller 3, press and hold R + C-Down + C-Right.

If you don't have enough hands to input the cheat, apply the below code for the same effect.
