UPDATE: Well I discovered the map I'm stuck on is 175 (code: ALPAPAL), which I believe is impossible. The computer opponent is at max reaction rate and you have no powers. He spams volcano so quickly that you can never catch up, even if you turn the game speed down with SHIFT+S. I watched people …

UPDATE: Added working link 20/06/2023. I present my patch for Shadow Warrior. It turns off that pesky auto-tilt whenever you go up or down a slope. The patch also writes a new SW.CFG and patches SW.GRP with modern WASD/mouse bindings, so that you can see the bindings in the F1-key screen whilst in- …

Well, it's not as if the digitized music present in the home ports is that bad, or is it? Yes, most of it was junk. The arcade original sounds absolutely amazing compared them all. The only thing that could better it, would be CD audio of the original tracks before compressing into the arcade roms. …

That is twisted beyond all reason. Why on earth would they do such a stupid thing? The music in MK2 is some of the best music ever made. Has anyone ever interfaced with the CD player through mscdex? I wonder if it's just a couple of assembly interrupt instructions which could be inserted into the …

Well bugger it then. MK3 is for 2 player only. I might build the debugger version of dosbox and hack MK3 so that you can play as the bosses in single player too. At a later date anyway, too busy for x86 assembly at-the-moment. I've just given MK2 a play, and it seems really really good. The 30fps …

That's unbelievable! It's a game killer for me. Other than that, it's one of the best versions of MK3. CD quality soundtrack, 44KHz sound, zero loading, difficulty setting, playing as the bosses cheat (only available in UMK3 on other systems inc arcade), tournament mode, 50/60fps (usually). In many …

I've just tried with svn archive "EmuCR-Dosbox-r3995". It still does the stuttering, although somehow I managed to kill him this time so I'm feeling better. I'm not sure what version of MK3 it is, but MK3.EXE has a CRC-32 of 5D36570F and an SHA-1 of E99981632F918C63D7405C260FE750AE0B7ABE84 and it's …

Nope, it's a legal version. It was only £3.50. I made a bin/cue image, and that's how it's being mounted in dosbox. I'll have a look in the gog forums and report back if I find something.

Generally the game runs smooth as butter with the right settings (cycles fixed 50000+). When I get to Shao Kahn, I get awful freezing, whereby the image stays still but you can hear your arse being handed to you. It mostly seems to be on Shao Kahn, with it very rarely happening in other fights, but …
