Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition
A downloadable MOD
Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition is the definitive improvement MOD / ROM Hack for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat!!!
Main Features:
-A LOT of hacking to add new conditions, sound samples, music, movements, new features... all by myself with the help from Billytime!Games.
-I remade every bio and ending screen using the arcade gfx as base. Added the 2 absent screens from the Kano ending
-Every graphic made by PROBE software was changed or improved by Master Linkuei, Chev Chelios and Danilo Dias to look more accurate to the Arcade.
-A lot of new details for the stages
-New animation to courtyard (monks and tsung claps), Palace Gates (Flame), Warriors Shrine (Flame during Ermac fight), Throne Room (Shang Tsung head+Shang Tsung clap).
-Added +80 sound samples from the Arcade!
-BillyTime!Games added a SRAM feature to save the Winning Streak list.
-Improved gameplay removing delays and improving the timing.
-Option to change between original Music order or a more accurate one.
-And MUCH more...
New Commands:
RESET:
3B Controller = A+B+C+START during the fight.
6B Controller = A+B+C+X+Y+Z+MODE during the fight.
TRAINING MODE:
Press A+B+C+START in the menu.
PLAY AS REPTILE:
Choose Scorpion and during the battle plan screen or the VS Screen, press and hold A+START.
To change the fight style (Scorpion / Sub-Zero moves) press MODE button or UP+START (for the 3B lovers).
Common questions:
How to find Ermac?
-You need to fight with every fighter from the battle plan without losing any continue. He is even stronger than CPU Reptile!
How to play as Noob Saibot?
-Choose Sub-Zero and during the battle plan screen or the VS Screen, press and hold LEFT+A+B+C+START.
To change the fight style (Scorpion / Sub-Zero moves) press MODE button or UP+START (for the 3B lovers).
There's more secrets?
-SURE!
Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition v1.0c Update:
- Adds compatibility for third party six button controllers. Tested with Hyperkin and 8BitDo controllers.
Special Thanks to IEqualShane for his help!
GENESIS STILL DOES!

One of my favorite romhacks of all time. This is THE hack I show casuals when trying to explain what I do as a romhacker rather than try to explain a bunch of technical stuff because everyone played the hell out of the Genesis/Megadrive port of MK back in the day and everyone remembers how much the original Probe developed game fell short of the arcade. This is the hack that got me back into romhacking after years as a hobbyist making small changes to games for my own enjoyment and discovering there is a whole scene full of talented romhackers these days.
But hey, Paulo, I've been trying to contact you for some time about this hack (you don't seem to use any of the same forums or outlets that I do) because Billytime Games and I tried to improve the blood system a while back but got stymied on it due to the fact that I'm better versed in 6502 language and not so much in 68k and Billytime was busy with real life and other hacks he had in the pipeline... I'm still interested in improving the blood physics system and graphics to better match the arcade original. I know it can be done (and probably fairly easily) with the right person coding and who better than the guy who created the hack to begin with? Billy and I already learned how the rom loads and unloads the graphics for the blood. We just need to program it to emulate the arcade in terms of physics and implement that in game during matches. I already have an idea of where in the Megadrive ROM we can look at code that better matches the way the blood behaves in the arcade original. Please reply if you are interested in updating this epic hack to be even better and we can set something up from there. I know you are a busy guy with many projects on your plate, but I believe your original hack was almost perfect except for in this one area... I already have the graphic assets ready to go from when Billytime and I attempted this. Let me know. I'm gonna make this a thing one way or the other! Lol. Cheers
6 button detection doesn't seem to work when played via emulator Libretro/RetroArch 'Genesis Plus GX' core :(Never mind, I'm a dummy...the emulator's 3/6-button option was moved to 'Controls' from the actual 'Core Options', and I thought it had been REmoved.
I patched with 1.0c but the version info still shows 1.0, 2021/12/24
Since the 1.0c is just a small control fix, i dont changed it, but for a future update it will be changed for sure!
Do you think you can create a version that is able to be applied to the US release version of the game instead of the Beta?
Yeah i can, but its really that necessary? Use the Mortal Kombat (W) REV A (beta) ROM
I suppose I can explain why I asked. I've a Genesis Mortal Kombat cartridge and was planning to just bring my own cartridge over trying to track down a beta build if that's an option. Of course, since it comes from the cartridge, it will need to apply to a version without a header.
Does this hack need REV A (Beta) to work? Because sadly, from my testing, it doesn't work with REV 00 of the game.
Yes, you can see this info on the DOWNLOAD screen.
Does this hack fix the bug where the C button on 3rd party controllers does nothing when played on a Model 1?
YES
Download the latest "Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition v1.0c" patch
Please can you convert in bin file for us ?
Unfortunatelly, it's not legal, but the patch proccess is pretty easy:
Download LunarIPS, select the mkae.ips patch then select the "Mortal Kombat (USA, Europe) (Rev A) (Beta)" ROM and voila
Thanks Master Linkuei ! and congrats for the game.
Sensacional
Thank you Hayato San!!!
