Hi everyone, this is my first post.

I have a problem with Mortal Kombat 1 which hangs when I use Sound Blaster. During speech, when the announcer shouts "fight!" or "finish him!" that's when the game hangs and I have to power down my system (don't even have a reset key). Does this happen to anyone else?

Here's my setup:
-ICL Ergo e450/75 (OPTI Viper chipset)
-ATI Mach64CT 2MB integrated video
-Intel Pentium 75 MHz
-SB16 Value ISA (CT2770)
-Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22

I've the same problem with other PC's too (same soundcard tho). Choosing Adlib in the settings, MK works fine but no speech obviously. I've tried everything, the drivers, irq-settings, clean boot etc...

Thanks, that patch worked. Found it from Patches Scrolls (search for "kombat").

Its kinda funny, such a simple solution and I've had the game from like 1994 on various pc's and never was able to play it correctly...

I need you guys help; MK1 (floppy) won't install onto my harddrive and says that there isn't enough harddrive space although I have 2 640 GB harddrives on my Computer. All the other requirements are met. This is the only one that isn't. do you guys know what to do? 😕

You likely need to mount a virtual HD inside of DOSBox...
mount C C:\dosgames\mk

The default size should have more than enough space to install MK1.
