Mortal Kombat 1+2+3

Besides being a real pain to get to control properly (with a controller), it looks meh and sounds imperfect. You'd be better off getting a different version in one of the many different places you can. I'd probably even pick last year's mini Genesis emulation over this. Or spend 20 minutes getting MAME to work. I love that GOG puts efforts into getting the DOS wrapper to work with this, but it's just not a good port.

I have these in full screen working in Steam via bottles!! First create a bottle it should be using soda experimental 8. Name your Bottle DosBox_Full_Screen. Now if you're like me and got MK1 - MK3, you need to install them into the bottle in reverse order. Open: "/home/username/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Mortal-Kombat/drive_c/users/username/AppData/Local/DOSBox/". If you don't have that DOSBox folder create it. Then create "dosbox-0.74.conf" file. (Usually this gets created by installing MK1 but not if you install all 3 games.) So another alternative is to create an mk1 bottle and install then copy that file and paste it into your DosBox_Full_Screen bottle. Edit the file under "[sdl]" : fullscreen=true fulldouble=true fullresolution=original windowresolution=2560x1440 output=opengl Next navigate into the folder with all 3 games into the "DOSBOX" folder and create a file named "DOSBox.conf". (in all 3 game folders) Edit it in all 3 folders [ipx] # ipx: Enable ipx over UDP/IP emulation. ipx=false [sdl] fullscreen=true fulldouble=true fullresolution=original windowresolution=2560x1440 output=opengl autolock=true [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. # You can put your MOUNT lines here. @echo off mount C ".." c: cd mk1 MK1.EXE -fs ****For mk2**** cd mk2 mk2.exe -fs ****For mk3**** cd mk3 MK3.EXE -fs SAVE THE FILES!! Per game edit these files dosboxMortalKombat.conf dosboxMortalKombat2.conf dosboxMortalKomba3t.conf fullscreen=true fulldouble=true fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768 output=opengl Now add shortcuts for DOSBOX.EXE name it according to the game DOXBOX(MK1) DOXBOX(MK2) DOXBOX(MK3) Right click each and add to steam. You can sgdboop the non steam game files and give them full cover art etc. Love ya GOG!! These were among my favorite games and not available on steam. Joystick config does need work!!

Controller doesn't work

I can set the controls but not start a game no matter what i press, at least i only wasted $2 on it

The entire trilogy of games do not work properly at all. I'm very surprised that this has not been patched or fixed due to the number of people that have brought this same issue up. The keyboard is useless, it does not respond to any command and the games don't play. F10 does not active the setup for the games, it's only brings you back to your computer menu. DOS BOX does not acknowledge the keyboard commands in any way. Forget trying a controller because that does not work either. It's three ports that just don't work, no matter what is tried. I have now uninstalled them and given up. Very disappointed. GOG, please look into this and fix this trilogy.
