Is there any form of online/internet play

Post by Tekfreak »

So i know all those midway treasures arent online playable, so that throws that out the window.

What about emulators? Do any of the MAME emulators have internet play options for MOrtal Kombat?

Just wondering because I would love to be able to stomp people like I used to at the arcade back in the day. I was able to use the little known UMK3 wavenet machine in Chicago as well B)

Maybe xbox live will come out with something soon?

Thanks

yeah my main concern was mk2 or mk3/umk3/mkT. I read something somewhere about.

I reads this on wikipedia...

"Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Wave Net was a rare network version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It was only tested in the Chicago and San Francisco areas and many people do not know about it. No one seems to have the ROMs. One outlet that stocked it still had the jack for. There was extra stuff in the game that you could use even in local play. It ran over a T1 line that was directly connected back to Midway HQ in Chicago.

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>You would be better off playing vanilla MK3 via a MAME networking kit like Kaillera.</span> The T1 line was one of the reasons WAVENet didn't really take off. This was long before the age of cablemodems and DSL. T1 was the only guaranteed way to get broadband into an arcade.

Times have changed, but it still is kind of hard to get net service in a lot of places. The internet jukeboxes are starting to drive the adoptance of broadband, which is a good sign.

theres a link to the MAME32 with kailerra(and a buncha marvel vs capcom games with it). its real easy all u do is start mameK(the normal one), and do file network play or something liek that and then a list of servers pops up.

Im gonna buy a joystick tommorrow.

I have no CLUE why it is double posting. I am not clicking.

The only reason i dont want to use my keyboard is cuz its impossible as heck to play quality games. i always forget which button is which, and its hard to do combos on a friggin keyboard. If i had a joystick/controller to attach to the pc, would be much better, ya know?

Yes i love Mk games but I dunno why in Mk trilogy there's no even Fatality music or fighting in a stage :( and i think PC is the stupidest platform of Mortal Kombat see there's no even Mortal Kombat Armageddon for PC :angry: :(
