- Short: HD Installer for Mortal Kombat V1.7

- Install-Script & HD-loader © 1996/2000 Jean-François FABRE
-
- Mortal Kombat is ©1993 Akklaim.
-
-
- This installer requires the ORIGINAL disks from Mortal Kombat (there are 2).
- The HD-Patched game will need about 2Mb of memory.
-
- Sorry but this game does not like 32bit fastmem AT ALL.
- You'll need at least 1MB of chipmem to run this game.
-
- When the disks are copied during installation, the pointer freezes. That's
- normal cause the game uses a custom trackload routine (copy-protection), and
- it does not easily multitask. No checks are done to see if you swapped the disks
- or not (the disk structure is very similar between the 2 disks).
-
- HISTORY:
-
- V1.0: This version did not take advantage of the allowed cpu caches
- properly and did not disable specific '060 caches. Besides, it sometimes exited
- with no reason, without doing anything, or loaded and locked up.
- There were graphics corruption for one of the players.
-
- V1.1: Bugs were corrected except for the gfx corruption
-
- V1.2: The gfx bug was finally removed. Works (almost) perfectly :-)
- I added a small guide for special moves and fatalities.
-
- V1.3: Startup code improvement. Crashes less often.
-
- V1.4: New memory management. F10 quits the game at any time. Needs 1MB of chipmem.
- I think (thought) it's (was) the final version.
-
- V1.4a: I was wrong when I thought it was the final version. It simply did not work.
- I re-linked it with my new startup code, and made a few modifications, and now it
- works perfectly. Sorry for V1.4 users.
- I also changed the installation system. Now it uses a command I wrote (rob2file) and
- an installer script. Much more flexible and user-friendly.
-
- V1.4b: Bug in Rob2File. I upload this again with the correction.
-
- V1.5: Adapted for JST, now requires only 512K of chipmem and 512K of other 24bit mem.
- Improved installer script.
-
- V1.5a: 2 button mode bug fixed.
-
- V1.5b: Removed access fault, works OK with JST 2.0b with MMU on
-
- V1.6: For some reason, V1.5b did not work at all with newer JSTs. Fixed
-
- V1.7: Access fault removed
-
- CHEATMODE:
-
- Type CATHULU in the menu to get a cheat mode menu.
-
-
- Enjoy this great game from HD (too bad there is no AGA version :-( )
