The setup is similar to NBA Live 19 Hardwood Classics, so I have included that information below...
Sega Genesis - Directions:
==========================
when you start the game there are a few things you need to do because there are limitations with the editor i used.
1. go to roster setup
2. draft both teams
3. press start to forfeit draft, you will get an error message
4. restart rom Toronto and Memphis will are drafted correctly this way.
5. you need to set up New Orleans I have set it up so that the 1st team thru the Lakers (minus Cavs) have a
player at the end of their roster that needs traded to the FA list. Once you do that start the game and
select New Orleans from the exhibition menu and everyone will be in the FA list in order for you.
 
NOTE: Updated screenshots coming soon!

Based off the NBA Basketball 2018 game hack, so it's primarily a roster update only (as of 03/11/2020)--season ending due to COVID-19 outbreak. This is a fully functional game, but I consider it a beta/prototype because:
*missing 3 teams--including the Toronto Raptors! (sorry, I'm not currently fluent in ROM hacking enough to extend this game from 27 teams to 30 teams)
*missing 2 conferences (same; don't know how to hack this yet)
*updated player stats, but don't fully understand the player editor at the moment (though I have a good feel for it)

Updated version of Tecmo NBA Basketball with the 2019-2020 rosters, which are updated as of 03/11/2020 (i.e. season ending due to COVID-19 outbreak). This is a fully functional game, but again I consider it a beta/prototype because:
*missing 3 teams--including the Toronto Raptors! (sorry, I'm not currently fluent in ROM hacking enough to extend this game from 27 teams to 30 teams)
*missing 2 conferences (same; don't know how to hack this yet)
*updated player stats, but don't fully understand the player editor at the moment (though I have a good feel for it)

Based off the NBA Basketball 2018 game hack, so it's primarily a roster update only (as of 05/31/2019). This is a fully functional game, but I consider it a beta/prototype because:
*missing 3 teams--including the Toronto Raptors! (sorry, I'm not currently fluent in ROM hacking enough to extend this game from 27 teams to 30 teams)
*missing 2 conferences (same; don't know how to hack this yet)
*updated player stats, but don't fully understand the player editor at the moment (though I have a good feel for it)
 

Similar to the NBA Live 18 Hardwood Classics hack of NBA Live 96, but with the current 2018-2019 rosters. Enjoy!
