I advice you to do the same.
Be as specific as possible.......

on how do you run the game. Information about your system etc etc etc

I have a problem with MK3 dos version. First, after installing it, the controls don't seem to work well. It always move in one direction. Second, there is no background music. Not one single stage has music. Can anyone help?

I install it on dosbox 0.74 from a dos cd-rom version but, the controls don't work at all. They do not respond. Even the keyboard doesn't respond. So I can't setup the DIP switches or choose characters to play with. It does however have sound and it shows story mode. Please help me! I have met all the system requirements. I have a powerful Pc. So it's not the Computer! I have a 4GB memory, 2.1 GHZ cpu, 2 640 GB harddrives, 2 lightscribe dvd burners and a AMD 8400 Phenom triple core processor. It's a 32 bit system. So it's not the computer. Can you help?

Well, Are you refering to MK2 or MK3?

The music in the CD versions comes from the CD, so you need to have the CD mounted while you play...as for the controls...no idea.

MK2 has no control respond at all and MK3's controls moves in one direction. I'll go through the manual again to figure out how to solve the problem with MK2. As for MK3, I'll try to mount the cd while playing the game like you said. Thanks for your'll help!

Try disabling joystick

Unfortunately, the DOS MK3 can't store the edited keyboard controls properly. So - delete mk3.cfg and setup the controls EVERY TIME.

Ok! Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes.

1) File name is mk3keys.dat, not mk3.cfg.
2) DOS version included with MK3 Win95 don't have this glitch.

Ok! Thank you! I will let you know if it works.
