You can also adjust which keys map to which actual keys in MKTRIL.MAP. The key on the left is what key the game thinks you are pressing. The data on the right is the keys being mapped to it. It is a little tricky.

After some trial and error, here's the mapping for anyone who is using the default IPAC keys. I dont think a 'select' button is defined here but I could be wrong.

Thank you so much for this! Very useful~

Say, will it be possible in the future for this patch to contemplate the following changes:

- Re-add the MK1 music to it's respective stages;
- Stop the music between rounds with the song's unique jingle like in the original game;
- Play the loop in the time the character is dizzy before the finisher;
- Play the second part of the finisher jingle as the announcer is speaking the winner's name;
- Add the finisher jingle from MK1 for it's stages like the game does for MK2 and 3;
- Make the difficulty actually change with the different settings as opposed to just making the CPU cheat less often;

This is the change I'd like to do the most.

I have a question about the patch. I recently got MKT. Will this help update the GOG.version? I see in the posts this installs the DOS and Windows version of MKT.

Yep, it will detect the required files from the GOG version. It will leave the GOG release untouched when it makes a second install of the game.

For some reason Malwarebytes won't let me on the forum page the patch is on and apparently I have to log into it anyway. Do you have an alternate download link?

Thank you for making the patch and make it available online! I actually have the old retail version and couldn't play for years after the 16 bits support was gone from Windows.

The patch installed perfectly well. However, whenever I try to reconfigure the controls on the Windows version, it keeps crashing. I tried running admin mode, but no luck. This is what I get in the Windwos event log:

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Are you using version 3.39 of the patch? Which controller are you using? If it supports xinput, I would install the patch with xinput support and reconfigure the controls by editing "xidi.ini" instead of the joystick dialog.

Hello CheesusWeptNew. Thank you for the reply. It's version 3.38. I check your website and I dodn't see 3.39. Where can I find it?

Regarding the controls, I should have been more specific: the controls works fine with the gamepads. It's when I try to reconfigure the keyboard keys. That's when it crashes and give me the error. Sorry.

Uhh, where is this installing things? I think I got a prompt on my initial install of the patch and now I can't find anything.

Hi! Does this patch allow use of 2 gamepads for local play? Can't make the game to recognize 2 gamepads at the same time. Any tips?

Same question here.

You may need to run "joy.cpl" in Windows and pick a default pad.

New version is now available.
