Could be an sdl+keyboard issue

To bad that the Fatalities cant be activated...

For Kano i have to hold LowPunch and press Forward,down,down,forward, then release LowPunch.

But this did not work

They work with the PS2 keyboard right ?
So it is probably the keyboard/driver of the wireless USB one

With ps2 keyboard i got some moves activated but not all.

Moves where you have to hold a key , and during that press 4 other keys, then release the key you hold... such moves did not work

that may be a dosbox bug.
in 0.74, there is an issue with holding a key and pressing other keys

Interesting, is it setting-dependent?

I just tried DOSBOX 0.74 and could successfully perform Kano's fatality (Hold LP - F-D-D-F - Release LP) 3 times in a row without any issues. I wasn't pressing the keys particularly slow either. It's a standard USB keyboard, not wireless.

SB16 music works as well.

f is for forward ?

So when i am on the left side i press and hold LP (numpad1), then pressing right, down, down, right on the cursor-keys and then releasing Numpad1?

how fast did you press the keys, i try to press it as fast as i can ?

And how far you away from your enemy?
When i am to close i finish him with my "low punch"

tried it with keyboard and gamepad (has analog stick)

and how many cycles you set? i set cycles to 20.000 or 30.000

My setting is cycles=max.

You need to be close to the enemy to perform this finish. Which means you have to start holding LP while away from the enemy, move closer, then press F-D-D-F, and release.

I input the sequence pretty fast, but not blazing fast. One thing I can think of is that if you press the keys too fast, then at some point you are essentially holding three keys at the same time (LP, F and D). Many keyboards are known to have problems registering certain combinations of 3+ keys. It may be that you are hitting one of those. Try slowing down a bit.

However you say that your gamepad has the same issue, so I don't know.

When i stay close... and press and hold LP.

Kano makes a low punch and if the enemy gets hit, he is finished.

Did kano make a LP when you press the key (and hold) or when you release the key?

BTW: with cycles=max the game runs too fast.. at selection screen, when i press right for the next Fighter, it jumps not to the next icon.
It jumps to to 2nd or 3rd Icon.

As I said:

okay i am in the middle of the screen, opponent on the right side, i hold LP.
Distance is so far (near) that i don't hit him with LP.

Then pressing F D D F. During "F" pressed i move closer to opponent.

then release LP , but nothing happens.

Were you standing directly next to the opponent ("touching" him) when you released LP?

WtF?
Stay close.
Press Block, press LP, release Block.
Press F D D F.
Release LP.
Block must seals all 4 hit buttons. If it isn't - change keyboard bindings. I use [ - ] = LShift BSpace for LP HP LK HK Block Run.

tried it , but it doesn't work... (i think i am to dumb, or have to slow reaction to press the keys fast enough)

why to press block before press LP?

i play kano vs liu kane

i've set up my old pentium 75 system where i played mk3 in the 90s...

fatality of sindel (death scream) work every time, tried it 5 times, did work always.

Tried fatality of kano hold LP, right, down, down, right, release LP.. did not work... tried it 15 times or more.

Is the a cheat to disable fatality timer, so that i can test it longer?

I've searched the adress for the Fatality Time Timer and Freezed it.

then i tried Hold BL, Hold LP, Release BL, Press Right, Press Down, Press Down, Press Right, Release LP

and Hold LP, right, down, down, right, release LP

and different distances... and over 5 minutes of testing , i activated the fatality... but i didn't know if it was the one with or without block key.

It was around the 50 try...

I think i will ever win the lotterie , as i can reproduce that fatality.

other combos are easy... got it on the first time, but kano's drive me crazy.

But i've done it, mission accomplished... 😀

Well, have tried MK3 + Dosbox myself.
The vanilla 0.74 - ctd (dosbox.exe, different offsets, 127f32 as the example).
Dosbox SVN works ok.
And yes, can't execute the Kano fatality. Looks like my key pressing speed is too low.
Shang Tsung fatality (LP (D F F D)) works so - keyboard bindings are ok.

P.S. Did the Kano Fatality once...
P.S.S. It looks like the distance is matter. You must be not-so-close to do this skeleton separation.

You must be in a ''Sweep distance'' as in the Mortal Kombat vocabulary. This mean that you must at the distance you can hit your opponent with a sweep (B + LK).
