    Holy crap. That combination was BRUTAL to pull off 3 times!!!
    I looked it up and it seems the last combination is P2 block x 3, though no problem in doing x 4.
    Also, I did a different order and it still worked:
    - adjusted audio volume
    - unblocked hidden characters
    - did cpu test
    - changed difficulty
    - saved initials
    It sucks that we need to enter this menu 3 times! Argh...it was BRUTAL!

    • @KillerArcadeGames
      @KillerArcadeGames  5 лет назад +2

      Its pretty tough. There is an alternative way (Not that you need it now lol) It was discovered after I made this video. Theres a much easier code to enter, but it won't save until you enter your initials. You also won't be in the EJB menu. However, it's the only way to change MK1's difficulty, MK1 does save the settings too! ruclips.net/video/lq9FO8qhSKQ/видео.html

      Replacing the buttons with Happ should work fine but you'll need to get some new wiring. I don't think Happ makes a joystick that will work with the board inside the A1U. I plan to just remove all of the original A1U boards and controls and put in a PC with USB encoder boards to wire all of the new controls. I'm hoping the marquee stuff will arrive soon so I can get to installing them! I'll hopefully have a video on it in a week or two.

    Does the arcade1up Mortal Kombat joystick itself have the square or octagonal gate?
    Been debating on getting an arcade1up cabinet, emulation is spray a turn off, but these are pretty neat. Do you honestly think the Mortal Kombat one is worth it, and the closest way to play and experience the original Mortal Kombat arcades back in the day?

    • @KillerArcadeGames
      @KillerArcadeGames  5 лет назад +1

      They come with square gates stock. Its not very difficult to replace them with octagonal gates. I HATED the SF2 cabinet's controls. The sticks were awful. I only bought it to mod it so it wasn't a big deal. Mortal Kombat's stock controls were better. The joystick is the weakest point. Its very loose feeling but I was still able to pull off moves. I ultimately modded that cabinet into a MAME cabinet and replaced the controls with Happ sticks/buttons. Its so much better that way. If you're okay with the controls not feeling exactly like the original arcade and the fact that the emulation looks more pixelated than MAME, you'll enjoy this cabinet. If that’s a deal breaker, you could mod the cabinet but that increases your cost and effort quite a bit.

    • @KillerArcadeGames
      @KillerArcadeGames  5 лет назад +1

      You can get both on Amazon fairly cheap Gates: amzn.to/2jJd6Wn Bat tops: amzn.to/2Y9ECyE
      I can't answer the HORI question, I've never used those and don't know much about them.
      The original MK arcades game with Happ controls, as far as I know there isn't a "gate" on those. They are 8 way joysticks that move smoothly in a circle. That's what I installed in my cabinets, it feels exactly like the original cabinets because it's the same. I buy button/joystick kits that are replacement packs for the real cabinets. I get them from Tornado Terry on eBay. Killer Instinct Set: goo.gl/E5dHJD
      Mortal Kombat Set: ebay.to/2VxLWDH
      I must warn you, if you decide to go that route, you must cut some of the joystick mount off. Since they’re made for the real arcades, they’re a little too large and will over lap either the buttons (on the SF2 cabinet) or the left side of the cabinet wall (the MK cabinet). Its not very difficult but you’ll need a dremel or something similar to cut it off. I show how to install those controls here: ruclips.net/video/fJ1CNyCF5gY/видео.html

    To my knowledge, All Arcade Cabinets have this Diagnostic Setting. not just 1Up. All done the same way. The funny thing is too. All Arcade owners know this Diagnostic Code. Mainly for that reason, adjusting sounds, color, or switching out monitors. Or even filters like making it HQ, progressive, Interlaced, esg. Depending on your moniter you use. I have this cabinet that I made and a program called Mame Acade on my PC. And I can adjust everything on every game I have. In the setting like this one.

    The difficulty adjust apparently does nothing on both 2 and 3. The original console versions most people actually remember had easier AI, but the PC / console trilogy re-releases used the original arcade code and are thus impossible without using repetitive AI exploit strategies. I’ve read that the only other way is to simply lose approximately 20 times and then the AI handicaps itself to finally let you win the round. Apparently MKII’s AI also responds differently depending on whether you’re Player 1 or 2. But yeah, in both 2 and 3 the computer can spam special moves with no cooldown, deals more damage, gets hit priority over you, has better reach, immediately reads and reacts to your button input instead of the animation, etc. It basically makes having those two on the 1up completely pointless unless you’re playing against friends. MK1’s AI is still really cheap, but it’s beatable without resorting to extreme exploit strategies up until the boss fights. UMKIII even has the “difficulty ladders” but selecting novice is pretty meaningless because the game reverts to the highest difficulty after a couple rounds. MK1 also throws a couple easy rounds your way, but the arcade version gets pretty punishing about two characters before the doubles matches.

    • @KillerArcadeGames
      @KillerArcadeGames  5 лет назад

      I do notice the first few characters are easier when you lower the difficulty but I definitely agree it ramps up drastically to an unbeatable level. Its almost like the game is forcing you to pay to beat certain characters. Or like you said, after you've died and pumped in $10 in money you can progress and it backs down again for the next few characters. The console versions weren't interested in making you continue repeatedly since they already got your money in one bulk purchase. But that arcade cabinet wanted to get record "collections" for arcade owners. If you watch the promos for the arcade games they would send out to operators, you'll hear them talk about how the game will bring in huge amounts of money. They can't do that if its too easy and someone can beat the whole game for just a credit or two. I now know why my local arcade would often have 2-3 cabinets of the newest Mortal Kombat. They must have made crazy amounts of money. The AI is so insanely frustrating at times in MK2. If you jump they instantly do too and kick you in the face lol. I'm sure the developers had zero idea that these could one day be repackaged in a free play only set up and sold to consumers. It would have been smart to change the difficulty to a reasonable level when its set to free play. I'm arguably much better at Killer Instinct than Mortal Kombat but I can fairly easily beat Killer Instinct on the hardest setting and more than easily beat the game with zero continues. It does not seem to have that same cheap AI.

    The ejb menu code is ridiculously hard to do consistently. If you want to just unlock the characters and you can get the code in at least once, enable the hidden characters and just beat the other player 10 times to save your initials. That will save the hidden characters. Then if you want to change the volume just use the test menu code and repeat to save. Win 10 times and put in initials. All settings saved. Trying to do that code 3 times lol 🙄. I was lucky I got once

    is there a code to make the 1up arcade larger? right now it is Hobbit-sized.

      The only code I can think of is to just buy the real thing lol. They're heavy, hard to find and typically expensive but I honestly believe there worth it if you can fit them inside. I just finished a building in my back yard to house them.

    How do I do this with the one player countercade version

      You can't unfortunately. You'll need a two player set up.

      @@lokoXmage You can try, that old way was removed from a lot of 1Up releases. They put it in so removing it was easy. But they can't remove the EJB menu since its in the original game's code.

    Is this something you can do on a emulation of the arcade version?

    • @KillerArcadeGames
      @KillerArcadeGames  3 года назад +1

      Yes, it works on Arcade1Up, MAME, real MK arcade cabinets...basically anything that's running the arcade game's code. Emulation or the real thing!
