Back in March, johnz1 released the initial version of the NBA Jam: Legends On Fire Edition mod for the PlayStation 3 version of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition. As you may recall, the mod includes 67 squads based on the best NBA teams from the 1980s through to the 2020s, and a revamped Road Trip mode. Today, johnz1 has released v1.1 of the project!
The new version of NBA Jam: Legends On Fire Edition contains several ratings updates for better player performance, and corrects the colours of the press row tables for a number of teams. It also utilises a new installation method, and should now work properly on jailbroken PS3s as well as the RPCS3 emulator. A couple of other minor fixes such as changes to player order are also included. Full release notes from johnz1 can be found below.
Download v1.1 of NBA Jam: Legends On Fire Edition here! For more information and support, check out the release topic here in our Forum. Don’t forget that johnz1 has also released a 2023 update for NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, and joined us on the NLSC Podcast to talk about modding the game.

NBA Jam: Legends On Fire Edition V1.1 Release Notes
WARNING: This version is not fully backwards compatible with v1.0 game saves. For the best experience, delete your save game files before playing v1.1. I don’t think the v1.0 save files will break the game in any way, but you at least won’t get any of the ratings changes that were made in v1.1.
- PKG installation method
- PKG’s are installation packages that the PlayStation 3 uses to install games, updates, and other software. As far as I know, the PlayStation Store uses PKG files for everything.
