NBA Jam with Team Tap

[Fletch]

I broke out NBA Jam & Team Tap last night and tried to get a 4 player game going. Put a single JagPad in port 1 and the team tap in port 2. The Team Tap has JagPads in ports A,B,&C.

 

When I start a game or go into the options screen only players 1 and 3 are usable. Am I missing something, or is it likely my Team Tap is faulty?

 

I don't have any other Team Tap games to test it with.

 

Thanks!

Isn't it supposed to go in Port 1?

Not according to the manual. I tried your suggestion though with no luck. I think my Team Tap might be faulty.

I just tried this and plugged everything in as desribed in the manual, and it works flawless.

 

You say that only players 1 and 3 are usable?

In the options-menu is player 1 (controller in port 1) named "0" , with the TT in port 2 are players 2, 3 and 4 referred to as "1" "2" and "3" .

 

You don't happen to have a pin bent in the controller-plug of the TT?

I took the Team Tap apart and cleaned the PCB with alcohol. I then hooked it back up and everything worked. Not sure for how long, but at least I know it is the Team Tap and not the Jaguar that was or is the problem.

 

Thanks for the advice fellows.

I have feelings about not having 3 friends who would be willing to play Jaguar NBA Jam wth me.

Yeah, I got my team tap with White Men Can't Jump about 15 years ago and I can honestly say I've never used it. NBA Jam is a great game but trying to convince 3 mates to have a multiplayer session is tough

 

Glad you got yours working OP.
