Today is a great day for all of us and Mortal Kombat Secrets is really very proud to be the first website in the whole Community to inform you about this. Today the authors of ChanKast, the first Sega DreamCast emulator, that runs commercial games released a new version, 0.25. I was really very surprised when I loaded Mortal Kombat Gold and the emulator didn't crash. The game started. With this release of the emulator the game runs good with fps between 30 and 60 in gameplay. It slows down sometimes and there is no sound when you play (the movies has an excelent sound) and there are some graphic glitches, but nothing serious. The game is completely playable. I actually finish it with Kung Lao. Below are 8 screenshots taken from Chankast:

Our forum member Cubanraul has made a patch for Mortal Kombat Trilogy, that will allow the game to run on Windows 2000 and Windows XP without any problems. This is not the first patch for Windows XP, but it is the first with Windows 2000 compatibility. Below is the list with all of the changes:

- Removes popup saying your graphics hardware should be at 16 bit if you have it set higher

The first has been published a few days ago at CNN.com. Below is a part of it:

The next 12 months could see a flurry of new scrutiny of violent games because three controversial franchises are due to release sequels. They include "Doom," notorious as a favorite of the Columbine killers; "Mortal Kombat," with its calls for a player to "finish" opponents in myriad gruesome ways; and "Grand Theft Auto," which exhorted players in its latest iteration to start a Cuban-Haitian race war.

Meanwhile, we're in the midst of a gaming explosion. Deloitte & Touche predicts the worldwide number of "game compliant devices" other than PCs -- mobile phones, consoles, and handheld computers, for example -- will see a six-fold rise by 2010, from 415 million now to 2.6 billion.

The second one has been published at MSNBC. Below is a part of this article:

"Pediatricians and psychologists have been warning us that violent video games are harmful to children," said Mary Lou Dickerson, a Democratic legislator in Washington state who wrote a law now being challenged in federal court - banning the sale of some violent games to kids. "I'm optimistic that the courts will heed their warnings."
