About

OpenJam is a native PC port of NBA JAM: On Fire Edition (Xbox 360, XBLA, 2011) built with ReXGlue, which statically recompiles the original PowerPC code to C++ for x86-64 rather than emulating it. It boots to gameplay and runs as the full version, with graphics, audio, input and the achievement store initializing. The repository contains no game content.

How it differs from the original

Includes a Mod Manager that installs mods published as PlayStation 3 packages, converts their artwork, and lists installed mods on the game's own main menu.

Getting started

You need your own copy of the game, the single signed container file from an Xbox Live Arcade purchase. Download the release, unzip it next to that container file and run the NBA JAM Mod Manager, which unpacks the game and sets up the folder. In the main menu, holding the left trigger and pressing Y opens the mod chooser.

Known issues & limitations

The Xenos backend logs repeated invalid texture-fetch-constant warnings during play.
`memmap:\clips\` is unmapped.

What you need to run it

You need your own copy of the game, stored on the console as a signed container file.

Features
