Welcome to the Battle for Bikini Bottom Beta Mod wiki page! This is a recreation mod of the early build of BfBB showcased at E3 2003, and it aims to replicate the beta footage and early-on development trailers.
 
 
=Description=
This mod is created by TLL.
Welcome to the Battle for Bikini Bottom Beta Mod! This is a recreation mod of the early build of BfBB seen in various clips taken by IGN, VideoDetective, and many commercial variants. In the production of this mod, I've watched every Beta video and took note of all the materials found within the files and '''re-added''' them back into the game! If you've ever wanted to play a replicated '''Beta Mod''' of Battle for Bikini Bottom, then you've come to the right place!

=Known Issues=
'''If you play this mod with autosave, Patrick's Dream will give you an autosave error. If you want to save the game, YOU NEED to warp to another level, save there, and you're good to go!'''
 
*'''If you receive any autosave errors, re-save the game and it should fix it. If the issue persists, quit the game through the menu, (don’t stop the emulation) and reload your save.'''

# Firstly, you need a '''stock/unmodified''' ISO of Battle for Bikini Bottom '''(NTSC)'''
=Special Thanks=
# You need to install the Dolphin Emulator to play and build the mod. (preferably the beta versions, '''DO NOT USE THE STABLE VERSIONS''') [https://dolphin-emu.org/download/?ref=btn Download Dolphin Emulator]

# Set up and open Dolphin Emulator.
# In the Dolphin Main Menu, select 'Config'
▲# Click Rooton Paths, and then select Open'Add...'
# Add a directory that leads to your '''STOCK/UNMODIFIED ISO''' of Battle for Bikini Bottom. '''(NOT THE BETA MOD FOLDER)''' Afterward, the ISO should appear in Dolphin.
# On your desktop, make a folder. (name it whatever you'd like!)
# Right-click on the unmodified ISO in Dolphin, and select 'Properties'.
# Move the arrows in the top right over to 'Filesystem'
# Right-click on 'Disc - GQPE78' and press 'Extract Entire Disc'. Select the folder that you created on your desktop earlier. BfBB's files will begin extracting. Wait patiently for it to finish.

# Confirm it, and you're done! (The mod should show as 0.00B, while another ISO is 1.36GB in Dolphin if done successfully.) (You are free to delete the stock ISO if you wish.)

Something not working right? Drop me a '''DM''' '''@tll#2019.'''
