Mortal Kombat II Revision 1.1 Released

Who knew I'd have something actually worth posting in here afterall

The other day a friend pointed out an auction that listed a bunch of MKII arcade eproms. One of the sets in the auction was said to be version 1.1. Sure enough, after getting them this morning and dumping them, they are infact Mortal Kombat II version 1.1.

How to verify them:

Backup your mk2 romset (mk2.zip). Extract the contents of the zip file to an empty folder called, "mk2". Then extract the contents of version 1.1 to another folder, say "mk2r11". Open the mk2r11 folder, and rename the two roms inside as such:

uj12.l11 -> uj12.l31
ug12.l11 -> ug12.l31

Copy the newly renamed files to the mk2 folder, and overwrite the originals. Select them all, and send them to a compressed zip folder (Windows method). Click on the new zip file, and rename it, "mk2.zip". Place the new mk2.zip in your rom directory, and you're done.

Certain emulators require specific command line functions in order to operate properly, such as MAME for instance. Create a new shortcut to MAME, then edit the shortcut and add "mk2" to the end of mame.exe (or your variation). Newer versions will not allow you to start the game from the game selection menu.

it."

Enjoy!

If this is against the rules please feel free to remove the links. It's only the two program roms, not the entire game. The main reason I'm posting these here is for the people who are entitled to them so they can help us find the differences between 1.4 and 3.1/3.2 (Final). Differences found will be added to the list and I'll edit this post as necessary provided the forum permits me to do so.

 

That is perfect. Not sure if that will help us from that new american bill that may be passed.
But good upload even though i can't use it. I am sure someone will find it helpful.

 

same here, unfortunately. thank you for uploading!

 

Thanks for the share. It might be worth having a mod move this to downloads, where it'll have more of a chance of being seen for longer
