Finally. I really wanted that patch to come out so I can do combos online that I couldn't do before. Well I guess it's time to start playing again.

Online play works like a charm now, and the stretch screen option is great.
Will play again for the 200 points.^^

You know what'd be nice, though? You guys know how Shang Tsung could turn into Kano, yet it almost never works if you try to? It'd be nice if they'd try to make that work out correctly. Also, it'd be nice if they'd add Noob Saibot and Rain to the cast of playable characters, even though that would make the emulation no longer "arcade-perfect." But, I digress. This patch really does help, though.

I do not think that they have changed things in the ROMS themselves. My guess would be that they just wrapped their implementations around the original game. Adding Noob Saibot wouldn't make the game arcade imperfect. Noob Saibot was playable in the WaveNet Edition of UMK3. However Rain is another story.

Still, Gambid, wouldn't that be kind of cool?
And by the way, Rain is in the ROM in some form cause he's in the attract mode opening screen. Although, his name on the health bar is not italicized like every one else's, and I don't think that if he were accessed, he'd be entirely playable. Something weird would probably happen. Or he'd lack special moves or something. Not at all unlikely, though, that he'd have everything but finishers, seeing as how he and Noob on home versions have a full movelist, but no finishers. Again, though, it'd be nice in my opinion. But that's just me, I suppose.

Yes, it would have been cool, that's for sure. Unfortunately even MAME does not have the WaveNet Edition and the game is currently lost to all of us.

Test your might.

I don't think the tracks were made available online. Don't think that they ever will be. Have you tried YouTube.

Which track do you need exactly.

Have you guys already tried the patched version. What do you think.

Yep. Nothing there.

Changed original MK1-3 music in the menus.

Kan't believe nobody ripped it.

Here's a list of issues I've found with the 1.02 patch (issues that all existed in previous version but obviously have not got fixed)

1. MK1 Uppercut has no SFX other than a weak little sound nothing like the arcade
2. MK1 clapping SFX is not from arcade (not a big issue but sounds odd nonetheless)
3. MK1 Goro's lair BGM cuts off whenever fighting against Endurance 3 or Goro
4. MK1 credits/ending music is not like the arcade, it keeps looping right from the beginning of the track, when it should be looping somewhere halfway
5. MK2 Intro/character select/BGM Music has skips and small audio gaps
6. MK2 Credits/Ending music sounds completely wrong, loops from wrong place as well
7. MK2 SFX for random select sometimes keeps repeating over and over
8. MK2 bizarre SFX used when player lands from a jump
9. MK2 Sub Zero's ice ball special move sounds glitched with a gap in audio
10. UMK3 BGM is not loud enough compared to SFX
11. UMK3 Galaga Kombat Kode does not work
12. Arcade filter looks good on stretch, but on standard and cabinet mode looks really messed up

Oh my Shao Kahn, thank you so much, dada! Merry Khristmas to ya!

Hello there,i got a problem: my PS3 always freeze after ive beaten Shao Khan with Scorpion in UMK3. Have someone else this problem too??

I have no money to buy it. Me sad, I only have a trial version and I'm annoyed by messages, like "buy the full game and you can play without any restrictions, bla-bla-bla". Bawww. Also, I want to find the working GOD-version of game. Every single version, which was found by me requires the Windows Live ID password

@dada these are only sound problems. It would have been nice if they were not there but they do not really break the game like gameplay issues do.
