NO MORE DIFFICULT CODES!
This is a very simple, no more difficult EJB codes! On the Player one side, hold run and block. On the player 2 side, hold low punch, high kick and Up on the joystick right after you start the game! Watch the video for more demonstration! To make these settings save on MK2 and UMK3, change your settings, exit the test menu and play the game on two player mode and rack up at least 10 wins on player 1. Then let the CPU beat you, enter your initials and wait 10 seconds before exiting the game. It SHOULD be saved then!

Dude. Thank you so so much for this video. I was terrified of bricking my cabinet going the EJB route. Got all my volume / difficulty settings the way I want to for all the games and with UMK3, i put in all the "game over" codes to unlock Mileena, Ermac, and Classic Sub-Zero. did the 2-player beat down to prompt the initials. rebooted the system and all is saved.
NOTE: I will NOT do a hard shut down in the middle of an active ROM. Play it safe, hold the P1 button to bring you back to the game selection screen and THEN switch off the cabinet.
I'm glad it helped! It always seemed to be people entering their initials that bricked it. But it could have been that they just shut off the cabinet instead of ending the emulation before powering off. I can say I've seen far less people commenting on my videos complaining that their's bricked.
This doesn’t work on my cabinet. Tried it about 20x

For anyone in the UK who has got one of these (after waiting a year for UK stock!) it seems that the UK stock is the 'Costco bundle', since it comes with a riser. With that in mind, the alternate method linked in the description did work on my machine, whereas the one in this video does not.
Thank you
Goodness! I'm glad you could get in to those menus.
It's ALL about closing the game - First cabinet I closed it right away and my MK2 bricked, second cabinet I adjusted everything EXACTLY like the video and went slow....everything was adjusted and working fine.
Yup. From what ive seen the game seems to brick when people just shut the machine off without holding P1 and going back to the main menu screen first. I have one of these and went into the arcade / EJB menu and entered initials multiple times and havent had any problems
Thank you!! I was able to get mk3 and mk2 to save in the same session. Mk2 did lose sound for a sec but I just went back to the main menu and booted mk3 and everything was fine. Shutting off the cab in game as opposed to the main menu seems to give issues even before I used this method so I would avoid this at all costs.
Does this work with the legacy mk2 cab?
Good question...I really don't know yet. No one has reported if it does or not. I'd assume they changed it for that version.
This is great. The block button combinations had me pulling my hair out
They aren’t fun haha. But you can use the block button method on real arcade cabinets. I’m sure the arcade owner would be pissed.
@@KillerArcadeGames Haha, nice. Next time I visit Funspot (worlds largest arcade) I'll try it
Your a hero bro, I’ve been getting my ass kicked with the set difficulty
I'm glad I could help!
Johnny Dollar7 me too bro lol. Fucking motaro man
@@bdm3056The difficulty setting only affects how many fights in a ladder it takes for the CPU to go up to max difficulty. The bosses are always on Very Hard, as is the fight before the bosses.
It doesn't work when you change the difficulty, every time I change it to easy it keeps going back to medium?
I just tried this on my mortal Kombat and it does not work I tried multiple times
Just curious to know if they have different models mine is an arcade one up from 2019
This really only worked on the earliest releases of this cabinet. Your next best bet is the EJB menu trick.
@@KillerArcadeGames yeah mine I believe is a later model
Unfortunately I tried that several times and I had to take a break I was getting frustrated
Hand and I coronation doesn't work very well for me
doesnt work. i tried this and nothing happened. gen1 MK cab
I can't get it to come up on the mortal kombat counter cade.
How do you get into the counter cade secret menu.
Doesn't work with newer superb cab that they just released
I know I’m super late but I just got my 1st arcade 1up today and it’s the initial release 3 in 1 MK cab. It looks like you have the same one except your screen looks crazy good! It almost has a curved look to it in the video and it just looks extra crisp. Did you mod it or is this the original screen? Thanks for any info😄👍
Can’t get this trick to work for some reason though🤔 is it because I’ve already accessed the EJB menu before with the other method🤷♂️
Still no idea why this won’t work for me🤔
Anyone have an idea?
I cannot get this to work on my legacy cabinet. I can get the EJB menu to work, takes me 43 tries but it works, but this does work. Did they remove this feature in later versions or something. The menus look a lot different in the legacy version.
This won't work on legacy cabinets. This method was something A1U hid in their emulation but EJB can't be removed since its in the game's code.
@@KillerArcadeGames thank you so much for the clarification, I've been trying to find confirmation on this for so long 😅
If this works on the Mame version of MK2 I have installed on my phone it would be very useful because the volume level is way too low on that particular Rom.
I can tell you now it won’t work. This was specific to the emulator for this version of the Arcade1Up
I bought my MK cabinet online as soon it was announced that the cabinets were being released... I bought a set of 8 way restrictor gates to replace the 4 way gates that came with the cabinets... The restrictor gates I bought weren't fitting and I had purchased them from the link of another RUclipsr who used the same ones... I noticed the 4 way gates that came with my cabinet were the black plastic ones and not the clear gates that I've seen on other mk cabinets from other RUclipsrs... Which 8 way restrictor gates do I need to buy to fit my cabinet? If you can try and help me out please, I'd really appreciate it
I'm really not sure. Sorry! Hopefully someone will see this post and answer your question. I never looked in to it since I'll be swapping out all of the controls. If you're not already, join this Facebook group. I've seen guys talking about buying those in there, they could probably help. facebook.com/groups/1450378475106130/
Not working for me, (lp,hk,up on 2p+start game+run and block) not working.
Used arcade, ended up having to smash buttons hard but it ended up working.
Holy shit, the actual arcade DIP switch menus. This is awesome!
to save the ejb settings, you need to do the ejb, go into the game and when it starts again you need to do the code again to enter your initials.
Didn't work for me wonder why
Anyone else notice that the difficulty level doesn’t really change in MK1 and MK2? Especially, MK2. I put it on the easiest mode and the CP was doing more specials and was way more aggressive. I’m no MK slouch either...
MK2 (and UMK3 IMO) are brutal. They're pure quarter eating machines. I'm sure they knew they had a massive hit that would bring in millions of dollars so they designed the difficulty to ramp up the farther in you got. It especially gets harder after you put together a few wins in a row. After a certain number of continues in a row, the game backs down noticeably and lets you win again for a fight or two. I don't remember it being so obvious back in the arcade though. Its funny how its more noticeable when you're not enter coins lol.
@@KillerArcadeGames what about the home console ports they didnt require earing money and the ai cheats way worse you hit them and they hit you theres no way
I have the Costco machine, can I use the EJB menu to save? I only want to adjust volume and make all games easy
You can use the EJB menu method. Or try this Costco method: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html Its basically the same as this video just at a different time. I've been told the Costco cabinet saves the settings automatically too.
I try this more than 50 times is not working and i have the very same machine .
Is anybody else having trouble ?
Please help. It is impossible to beat the game if not in easy mode.
It’s possible you have the newer version where they removed this option. This hidden menu code was made by A1U so once the info got out, they removed it from future manufacturing.
This doesn’t work on Costco versions. While holding the buttons the player one button doesn’t do anything at all
There's a different video for the Costco version: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
In your previous videos, after you entered initials, you went into CPU board diagnostics. Why can’t you just enter initials and exit?
The option to enter your initials were only available in the EJB menu. I made this video primarily for those who couldn't pull off the quick button combination to get into that menu. The EJB menu trick goes: EJB Menu>CPU Board Test (to force the game to enter the regular test menu)>Change difficulty/volume>exit>EJB menu>enter initials and everything is saved. This video is a quicker and easier way into the test menu for those who can't access the EJB menu, but to make it save they have to play the game right after to enter their initials. Hopefully this wasn't a huge confusing mess of a reply lol.
cant you just put your initials in while your in test menu and it will save??
lol I can't even get this to work for me. Just got it for xmas, i am doing the button holds here but it just brings me into the actual game.
If you got yours at Costco or it was recently purchased from Walmart, try this video. It may be newer hardware! ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
I got the legacy edition and the Mk1 controls menu input isn't working.
This method for some reason does not work for me at all . The codes worked but not this 😒 maybe it's model/version specific?
If yours is from Costco you will have to do it slightly different. ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Cannot be done on 30th anniversary cab. Any button pushed on controls menu enters the game
What exactly is "DISAABLE HIDDEN CHARACTERS"? I press a button when it's highlighted and the menu just exits and nothing is changed
It will disable the three hidden characters that are behind the dragon logos on the character select screen. If you’ve never unlocked them, that option essentially does nothing. You can enable them by entering the EJB menu. Here’s instructions on how to enter that menu:
ruclips.net/video/hDkTuocJ8_U/видео.html
Just bought it and this code didn't work. Did it change?
Try this video, ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
What is the best way to unlock the hidden characters and keep them? Is it still through the EJB menu or?... because if so idk if I want to... I don’t wanna break my machine
I think the EJB menu is the fastest way to do it. I don't believe the EJB menu actually causes the game to brick. I purposely tried to brick my game before I chose to mod it. I went through almost everything in the EJB menus and it didn't do a thing to my Arcade1Up hardware. (Video here: ruclips.net/video/pbJo_p0VKf0/видео.html) It seems that entering your initials is what caused most of the brickings. It could just be a timing situation. A lot of people would enter their initials and turn off the machine to reboot and see if it saved. I would wait at least 20-30 seconds and then hold the start button to exit the emulation back to the game select menu. Then go back in to see if it saved. The theory is the game is writing your initials and saving the settings for a period after you enter them, so by turning off the game it interrupts the save process and corrupts a file that causes the game to fail. This is 100% speculation though. If you do it and your's fails, I would tell Arcade1Up what you did. They haven't denied anyone a replacement as far as I know, I'd just rather avoid telling them you were digging around in the settings.
@Killer Arcade Games well the only thing I just want is to have the characters unlocked and saved. And the AI difficulty lowered.
@@xsXRevanXsx I can tell you the difficulty change doesn't make a huge difference, the game is still difficult after you win a few matches in a row. You could enter the codes to unlock the characters and then just be sure to enter your initials by playing two player games over and over to make it save. You just have to do it before rebooting the game. It's a gamble but no matter what I did, my game never bricked. I was in the EJB menus at least 20 times per arcade and never had an issue. I had to go into them so many times while preparing/recording these videos.
@Killer Arcade Games wait how does that work with the 2nd player and unlocking the characters?
You'd have to play the game normally, then enter the unlock codes for each character after the continue timer runs out. (You can see them done here: ruclips.net/video/0LcAw6-HWGI/видео.html) But with Arcade1Up, it won't save until you enter your initials. That's when you need to play two player games, keep beating the second player to rack up wins, once you have 8-10 wins in a row, you can lose and then the game will ask you to enter your initials. That will save those unlocked characters.
Hey ma why won't this work on mine ?
It wont work on mine either :(
Me too 😖
I really wanna tweak the difficulty and volume on MK2 & UMK3. I'm nervous about bricking my machine though. So I didn't mess around with the EJB menus. I wonder if this method is safer ?
Its really hard to say. We don't know exactly what is causing the bricking. The thought is its related to saving information to the ROM. Most people's brick after saving their initials in the EJB menu. I have been told one bricked after entering their initials by just playing the game normally. I can tell you this, I've done everything I can think of to try and break my game. I know it sounds crazy but I am modding it anyway so I'll have no use for the hardware. I've played with tons of settings, I've been into the EJB menus at least 20 times by now on all games. The closest I've come to a problem was on MK1. I entered my initials on the EJB menu and when the game loaded, it showed there were no entries in the winning streaks screen. It was just blank. I went back in and entered my initials again and it started working again. Its very strange. Changing the difficulty doesn't really make the game that much easier. If you're worried, I'd say don't bother with it.
Still think I would like to adjust the volume because UMK3 IS LOUD!!!! I've also heard changing the difficulty doesn't make a huge difference but I was able to beat MK1 on default and I also to my surprise made it to Shao Kahn on UMK3... before I gave up. I'm hoping that lowering the difficulty may make Kahn a little less RUTHLESS. And damn a case were someone's machine bricked just by entering their initials normally ? 😨
@@JPToys97 ive used this new method and i'm fine,have not been able to get ejb mode
but i want too so bad
Okay so I haven't screwed with going into the EJB menus at all. But I finally decided to try this new method in the video and I accessed the test menus for all 3 games. I changed the difficulty on MK1. And I lowered the volume on MK2 & UMK3 and figured since I was already in the menus I'd lower the difficulty for both those games as well. I then went on a little win streak in 2 player in both MK2 & UMK3 then input my initials to save. After inputting my initials I waited for the game over screen and then did a few more matches vs the cpu before quitting out. And knock on wood but nothing bad has happened to my machine as of yet! I don't plan on going back into these menus, i just wanted to tweak what I wanted to change and got out fast. I didn't mess around like some people might have in these menus or in the EJB menu. Thanks !! Because I was finally able to beat SHAO KAHN ON UMK3 !!
From the looks of how many likes this video has gotten I'd like to think this method is safer and has less of a chance of bricking your machine, but like you said who really knows ?? =\
Doesn't work on the newer legscy 12 in one cabinet, is thete a different way?
Didn't they give you the option to change the difficulty on that cabinet? If not, you can always do this: ruclips.net/video/hDkTuocJ8_U/видео.html Its more difficult but should work no matter what Arcade1Up does. I'm not certain how the cabinet will react to that so do it at your own risk.
Have you been able to access menus for the other A1U cabinets? Thanks for the video. :)
No, unfortunately. Although, the only other cabinet I've had was Street Fighter 2 but I quickly modded that into a Killer Instinct so I really didn't get a lot of time with them. I will also say I didn't find this myself, I saw it mentioned with poorly explained instructions so I had to kind of figure out exactly how to do it myself. But I won't take credit for finding this one lol.
@@KillerArcadeGames did you make KI cabinet or can you buy One?
I don't see any difference after changing the difficulty settings.
Yea..the difference is slight. The bottom line is the game was designed to take your money. These cabinets have no idea that they're for home use and they're still making sure you lose at some point. I'm working on a video to show some tips on how to beat the AI but there's no 100% fool proof way to beat this game that I've found. I was able to beat it on Medium difficulty with only 2 continues the other day.
you can also enter initials in the EJB menu to save
Yea, I didn’t mention that since this was more for those who had trouble getting in to the EJB menu. I have two other videos on the EJB menu.
I just got the 1up arcade MK 1,2,3 and it’s pixelated to hell.. anyway to get into the emulator settings and add some bilinear filtering?
Last I've heard, the only way to ever access anything like that is to solder a USB port to the board so you can plug in a keyboard. I ended up just modding mine into a MAME cabinet, it looks so much better.
Modding Arcade1Up there has to be a button combination to get into the menu without having to solder a usb no? I got a raspberry pie and got some more stuff ordered I think I’m going that way too.
I did that, I changed it to very easy, played six or seven wins in a row on two player, put in my initials, let the computer beat me, it still says very easy, but it's not fighting me very easy it still fighting me hard? Why is it still saying very easy? And fighting me at the medium setting still?
I try it on my arcade 1up it doesn't work maybe I'm doing it wrong who knows
You probably have the newer version, try this video: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Considering t hat these things run a modified version of Mame code, I'm surprised Dip setting are such a faff to modify and save. In Mame, they save to a small file in the Nvram folder.
BTW, nothing you're suggesting should break anything.
Yea, I went through and tried to break the game by messing with all of the menus on a video. It never broke. I firmly believe this is related to problems with A1U's OS or some are just defective and would break after someone enters their initials.
So this is what i did to save everything on umk3 not using ejb menu and instead using the test menu shown in this video. I entered code in this video to enter test menu. Change difficulty and adjust volume. Then exit test menu and it starts umk3. Then i entered the 3 ultimate combat codes in game for 3 secret characters. Then i played only 5 matches of 2 player kombat winning all as first player, after timer went down to zero it asked me to enter initials before i chose a single player ladder. Everything is saved now.
stinger45678 What are the 3 codes to unlock the characters? Thanks
I used this video for putting in the 3 codes in game ruclips.net/video/0LcAw6-HWGI/видео.html
Does this work for the Arcade1UP CounterCade version?
It probably won’t. Once they knew this trick was outed, they removed it on further releases. The EJB menu trick should work though.
I just want to turn down the volume for umk3! It’s so loud and distorted I can barely tolerate it and usually just resort to turning off the volume altogether! I don’t want to brick anything though!!!
I get that, its a risk. I did make a video of me trying to brick my cabinet, I went through all the options and nothing happened to mine.
What's the monitor patterns in the test menu. Can I put scale line in the game. I have the cabinet as well I find it a little more pixeled.
They were meant for the real arcade games. I assume to make sure the monitors were properly displaying the colors, adjust the screen size and all that.
Never worked for me. Beware I never got my mk1 back. Just a black screen
Any updates on if it's safe or not?
I've tried this 20 times. Does not work! Anyone know why?!
You probably have a newer version of the cabinet. Try this video: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
@@KillerArcadeGames YES this was it! I didn't buy from Costco but the Costco trick FINALLY WORKED!
Does this work on the Arcade 1 up MK2 Legacy Edition?
No. The Legacy edition doesn’t have this code. You can do the EJB method but it won’t save and resets any changes every time you launch the game again. It’s quite frustrating.
I have the Midway legacy collection with MK 1, 2, and ult 3 will it work for that?
This won't, they changed/removed the code. The Legacy cab also doesn't save any of the settings when you change them so its almost pointless to try unfortunately.
Do anyone here know the name of old ninja game say hopa when do magic as he can become twice the game look such shinobi plz
Sounds like you are talking about Ninja Gaiden if you are still looking for ninja Games
Beware!!!! This totally bricked my machine.... Does anyone know if a fix??
Contact Arcade1Up, they’re more than likely going to send you a new PCB. There is no fix. It must be an error on their part with software that causes this.
Just got my my machine and this doesnt work. Anyone else have this problem?
You probably have either the Costco version or one of the new hardware versions from Walmart, try this video, its the same thing just different timing: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
I already knew how to access the secret menu but I did use your tip on fighting 10 matches in order to put in your initials so that the rom would save the settings. And it worked, after turning the machine off and rebooting, my volume and difficulty settings were saved for both MK2 and UMK3.
I'm glad it helped!
All I want to do is change the difficulty but it resets right when I leave the menu. How do u get it to save? Also I'm doing this on mk2.
It's resetting when you leave the game settings menu? Or when you exit the game?
@@KillerArcadeGames thanks for the response. So after I set it to very easy and exit the settings menu and start to play there is no change the ai is still brutal and when I use the button command to go back to the main screen and enter the settings menu again the difficulty is back on medium. And I'm never actually turning the cabinet off at anytime while doing this.
So doijg these codes can't brick the machine like messing witu the ejb?
You can still get a broken cabinet with this. From what I know, the problem is actually from you entering your initials. It triggers something in the ROM to save and that must cause the problem. Newer MK cabinets don't typically have this problem.
I had to do the way you had the newer cabs you mention above, I didn't save my initials so I think id be happier doijg this and having to do again every time I need it. I'll just make sure I don't win 8 In a row 😂
It works for legacy edition?
It would be nice if we could access the Arcade1Up Galaga and Galaxian menus in order to get rid of the phantom extra credit that prevents either game from ever re-entering attract mode after being played.
Yea that would be great. I'd like to think there's something like this for all of the cabinets but it hasn't been discovered yet.
hello I just discovered your channel today I like the content, I have a used Mortal kombat arcade 1up, I love it but I try to access the menus and it does not work, all the buttons work but I do not know if there is anything else to do, if you could me help I would appreciate it very much
I got it eventually but you just gotta be quick
The only thing is I'm having trouble saving it so I have to do it over each time to play the hidden character
Try this video: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html They updated these cabinets and changed it a bit. If you have the Legacy cabinet, it won't work, they must have removed this option.
It won't save for MK2 and MK3, and even on very easy it's stupid hard. And I've been playing Mk since 92........I don't think the settings actually change.
They do change but you're right, its still very hard at certain points. The game lets you blow through the first couple players, by the 4th/5th battle it gets almost impossibly difficult. After several continues, the opponent magically gets "dumb" and you can beat them again. The bottom line is these games were 100% designed to earn tons of money and they definitely did that. The console versions were easier since they made their money off the initial purchase lol.
I have a walmart model and it just starts the game any help???
Your's may be a new hardware model, try this video. It's basically the same, just different timing: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Will this work with my Marvel Arcade 1up Cab? Difficult settings trick?
It's unlikely. But, there could be similar codes for the other cabinets that haven't been discovered yet.
I just saw in your comment section this won’t work with the midway legacy edition. It’s strange as they have an option to choose the difficulties with a very easy already built into the games. But somehow I still can’t get past fighter four or five in Mortal Kombat 2…they block everything and always know what I’m going to do.
I thought the very easy option already built in would work (it doesn’t seem to) and this would be a workaround for that. I guess not 🙁 Not your fault mind you 😄 great video and I love your channel. 👍🏻
I can explain...MK2 and 3's A.I. is complete BS! haha. It actually ramps up the difficultly so changing the setting doesn't really make a huge difference. But, you can try these tips that exploit holes in the A.I.'s strategy:
MK2 tip: ruclips.net/video/bRV6e40iVjg/видео.html
UMK3 tip: ruclips.net/video/eQL_mmKXeHw/видео.html
@@KillerArcadeGames awesome! Thank you so much! 😃
Does this work on legacy edition ?
Got a question to ask why it doesn't save it once you restart the it only saves only MK
For some reason, MK2 and UMK3 require you to put your initials in before anything saves. I'd suggest booting up the game, set your settings, then play on two player mode for around 10 wins in a row and let the CPU character beat you after that. You can enter your initials then and the settings should save.
So if we have the Costco bundle there's nothing we can do........yet?
I've been told by another commenter that this doesn't work if you bought your MK cabinet at Costco. However, they said it DOES work if you try the button/joystick combo while the game is on the attract mode. I can't confirm it since my Costco never got any of these.
Edit: I was wrong about how to do it. Here's the comment and their instructions on how to do it on the Costco version: "This does work on the Costco Mortal Kombat Bundle. Perform the same button combinations while in game and then use the Player 2 reset feature by holding down the button until the ROM resets. This will then launch you into the test menus. Enjoy!" If it works, please let me know!
This does not work on mine. I bought it from Walmart 4 months ago.
Try this method, it should work. ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
@@KillerArcadeGames it worked! Thank you!
If you want your settings to hold you should go to the enter initials option. Otherwise you have to access the menus every time
Its seems safer to do it every time due to the chance of the games bricking. It only takes 3 minutes or less and no bricking so it's just safer to do it this way and no initials saving
Does anyone know the codes for the Midway Legacy Cab, I can’t get any to work :(
There is no known code for that version of the cabinet. You can do the EJB menu trick but it will not save the settings.
What about for other Gen 1 cabinets? Any secret menus?
I don't think any other secret menus have been found. I'm not sure if they exist or if this one was just special.
How did you get that dope lighted marquis???
I got it from www.thearcadegamefactory.com/store/store.php?crn=548&rn=657&action=show_detail
I’ve watched like 5 different videos on this and it doesn’t work for me please help
You might have the Costco version or a newer model that Walmart is selling. Try this: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Is it a way you could get longer fatalities time
I don’t think that’s possible on the arcade version. They do make hacked versions of these ROMs but You’d have to mod it with a PC and hope that’s an option.
Cool thanks! I actually want mortal kombat 1 artwork and want an mk3 1up cab w art.
I wpuld like to add two speakers to this with bass. Is that difficult?
Changing out the speakers and adding a subwoofer with the stock set up is going to be tough if it’s possible at all. When I modded my SF2 cabinet into a Killer Instinct, I put a Logitech PC speaker/subwoofer set up inside. It sounds a lot better! I didn’t use the stock speaker at all. Again, you’ll have to basically remove all of the A1U hardware to do it. Everything in the A1U runs from a board which controls the game and monitor, then that ribbon cable runs to it to connect the controllers and speaker. It’s pretty limited as far as modding the stock stuff goes. That’s why I just gut out the cabinet and replace the buttons/sticks, audio and put PCs in them. My video will show detailed instructions on how to do this if you’re interested. It’s not coming this week but hopefully by next Friday I’ll have it edited and ready.
Mime is new from walmart and by default it's been set to very hard. I know this cause i get one hit in. How can I fix this
Having the same problem and i cant get in the menu to fix
@@gradytaylor6115 got mine to work. Have to hold up, on player two then hold run and block on player one and hold the player two button down. That is how I got mine to work.
Just can not get the hidden characters unlocked
Lp Lk up and hold in the player two button this is all done on player two side.
Player one side hold run and block
Eternaldarkness24766 None of these steps are working for me. I’m about to rage...
On player two
Hold LP,HK,UP
On player one
Hold RUN,BLOCK
While doing this press the player two start button it will work
Will it work on Walmart brand
If it’s a newer Walmart cabinet, it’s not going to work. This really only worked on the original MK2 cabinets.
This does not work on the new Mortal Kombat version from Costco
I've heard this before. I guess they knew the word was out haha! EJB menu will still work. I wonder if they've fixed the bricking problem with them.
@@KillerArcadeGames I'll have to try it out!! Fingers crossed.
This does work on the Costco Mortal Kombat Bundle. Perform the same button combinations while in game and then use the Player 2 reset feature by holding down the button until the ROM resets. This will then launch you into the test menus. Enjoy!
The MK1 code isn’t working on my machine.
Hmm...maybe try this video ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Killer Arcade Games that one worked!! Thank you. Now I wish the Street Fighter one had a way to change the difficulty setting. I don’t remember having this much trouble beating the arcade game before. I think the crappy joysticks have a lot to do with it. Ordered some Sanwas to replace them so hopefully I’ll be playing better soon.
When playing as human smoke in UMK3 (by selecting cyborg smoke and holding HK, HP, BL, Run and Back) does anyone else experience this: always fighting in the Lost map. Even in the middle of the game and I change my character to human smoke, I'll fight in the Kombat Tomb (for example) for the first round and it changes back to Lost in the second round.
That’s normal behaviour. It happens when using any “secret” character for UMK3 and that includes Human Smoke. It’s how the original arcade game was built.
How do i get the changes to save without the block button code
Entering your initials usually saves it. I am hearing that some people say that doesn't save it on newer versions of the cabinet, but I haven't been able to confirm that.
@@KillerArcadeGames from the menu you go in by doing this there is no option to enter initials i also cant get hiddens enabled
Yeah you can’t enter initials or unlock the hidden characters in this menu. You’d have to use the EJB menu. But you can set your difficulty and volume, exit the menu and then play a two player game repeatedly until you get 10 wins. Then go into the regular mode and die, you’ll be able to enter your initials which typically triggers a saving of all the settings at that point.
Nice man thanks
No problem 👍
This didn’t help me
I kept doing it and doing what the guy is saying but I don’t see it to be working
Do you have the Costco MK cabinet? Or Walmart?
Costco MK cabinet
You have to do it slightly differently in that one. Check this video out Change the difficulty & volume on the Costco Mortal Kombat Arcade1Up Cabinet ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
Does this work on the legacy cabinet
No, I haven't been able to test it but a lot of people have said it won't work. The EJB trick works but it won't save: ruclips.net/video/hDkTuocJ8_U/видео.html
Here's the MK2 EJB video: ruclips.net/video/qgSkzsUjnJU/видео.html
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
Try this video: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html They changed the timing from the original release. If you have the legacy cabinet, its not going to work. They took it away. You have the option of doing the EJB menu trick but I've been told it won't save no matter what you do.
This DOES work on the COSTCO Mortal Kombat Bundle!!! Perform the same button combinations while in game and then use the Player 2 reset feature by holding down the button until the ROM resets. This will then launch you into the test menus. Enjoy!
Thanks for the info! If my Costco ever gets it, I'll probably go there and see if I can do it haha. Maybe I'll make a video from Costco.
Michael Miccio Could you explain this again please?
“Perform same button combos while in game”- does that mean on the same screen as he shows in the video (after game is selected but before it is launched)?
What is the player 2 reset feature? Does that show up after you’ve performed this button combo?
Forgive my lack of understanding. I have the Costco version and having trouble getting this menu to launch.
@@t.n.8111 You'll want to be doing the same button combinations while the game is running. While holding down those buttons you'll then want to reset the ROM by holding down the player two button. As the ROM resets continue holding down the buttons and you'll be launched into the test menus.
I can’t get it to save, I’ve entered my initials and everything
Thats weird. Does it at least save your initials after rebooting the game?
Modding Arcade1Up yeah, but every time I play it’s hard so then I open the menu again and it’s back on Medium
It's too bad that you can't adjust the volume in MK1 like you can in MK2 and 3 i still have to resort to sticking piece cloth between the speaker to damper loud ass sound. Prob do volume knob but it would still be nice. Also why very easy. Mk not hard at all on medium you can literally jump kick your way to Goro.
I just showed very easy as an example. Thats the only MK game I can beat pretty easily on medium lol. My volume on MK seemed okay but these cabinets may not all be the exact same. I'm about to tear it all out anyway and add a new sound system.
@@KillerArcadeGames cant wait to see the new sound system
What's the difficulty on default out of curiosity?
Medium
Gonna be modding my machine anyways so once i get to it im gonna mess with it so much n see if it even corrupts
I did the same thing! I couldn't break mine ruclips.net/video/pbJo_p0VKf0/видео.html
Damn ur amazing bro...great work
Thanks!
How does someone come up with this?
Good question. I assume someone from Arcade1Up must've told someone how to do this and it just spread. I always wonder how anyone found the EJB menu for the arcade games. It sounds like something a kid would have made up back in the arcade days lol. ruclips.net/video/qgSkzsUjnJU/видео.html
Tried the test menu trick with the new MK II Costco bundle and doesn’t seem to work. Menu doesn’t come up for me.
Same here. I bought mine at costco too.
This does work on the Costco Mortal Kombat Bundle. Perform the same button combinations while in game and then use the Player 2 reset feature by holding down the button until the ROM resets. This will then launch you into the test menus. Enjoy!
@@sfgiant2003 thank you! It worked!
@@08stanger You got it dude!
Michael Miccio Awesome thank you! Got it working also. Now I can have a small chance against the cpu.
Bro I can get into the EJB no sweat but cannot even get into test menu
You probably have the new version of the cabinet, try this video: ruclips.net/video/bSzI86TYnR0/видео.html
@@KillerArcadeGames Finally I have MK1 sewed up! Thank you. I had the EJB down pat on mk2 and umk3. Just not 1. Thank you again!
Chris, can you adjust the brightness? It really bothers me how washed out the screen is. I like turning down the brightness and gamma do not looks shadowy and stronger colors.
Mk1 is too easy and mk2 from factory 1up
The only way I know how to change the brightness is to mod the cabinet. Remove the A1U hardware and install a new monitor controller board, they come with buttons to change the monitor settings. But, you’ll have to add a PC or Raspberry Pi to play it. I’m doing that to this cabinet now. I’ll have a couple videos on it very soon. Its the only way to change the monitor settings as far as I know.
This is awesome. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Nice..... thanks
