@BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ******************************************* MORTAL KOMBAT ]i[ NaPaLM--Cheats: Nightfall ******************************************* Info on SuperPopc0rn's Cheats! Described one by one! Please Read! Also compatible with TWK's NTSC Loop! Full DETAILED Explanations of EACH Cheat Inside! All those obscure Menus explained!! ******************************************* Written by Sober [NaPaLM WHQ] 13-9-1995 PM. ******************************************* @END_FILE_ID.DIZ ==================== This is a must read! ====================== We now have an AWESOME patch by Nightfall which opens up some 25 hidden cheats in Mortal Kombat III for SNES which I'd like to talk about! First, the question of compatibility with TWK [ATX]'s NTSC slowdown patch. IT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH TWK'S GREAT SLOWDOWN PATCH - I TESTED IT AS SUCH (Considering you want both the cheats and the NTSC slowdown) 1. Take NPM-MK3 and extract it 2. JOIN all the files into a single 32mbit file 3. Take the ATX slowdown patch and PATCH IT FIRST onto the single 32m file -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This accomplishes the NTSC slowdown. Now to patch the cheats by Nightfall 4. Take the result of the ATX patching (a single 32mbit file) and patch the Nightfall cheat enabler over it. Don't worry, I've tested it, it works perfectly. Everything is slowed down by about 12-14 percent (maybe a little more), and the good thing is that all frames are still displayed, yet a bit slower to make the game just a little closer to what the NTSC final will be like. The PAL version is admittedly just a little too fast for the average gamer (like me) or even a die hard Kombater. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for the NIGHTFALL cheats explanation!!! This awesomely interesting patch. It opens up some 25+ cheats and a *NEW* intro screen (more on that later) which are IN the original game, and are very deserving of a closer look! Once you start the game, the INTRO: THE INTRO is modified! SMOKE, with his burning blue metallic suit walks onto the MK3 logo, smokes for a while and raises one of his hands! (So you immediately know you've got something special here!). Also the "Midway" blue/white screen contains some text about the cheats, and of course TWK's sig is still there, bold as ever. Now you hit START. Instead of seeing the normal two (or three) options, you will see the following 4 additional menus!! Lets go through them one by one: SOUND TEST ========== "Mortal Kombat Sound Menu" - Lets you listen to all 38 songs (including 0, numbered from 0 through 37) and lets you listen to all the AWESOME 160 sound effects (numbered 0-159)! Somewhere in the midst you will hear stuff like "YOU SUCK!", "TERRIBLE", and other interesting insults which normally do NOT come up during the game! (BTW the "YOU SUCK" thing is from one of the mini-games which we'll get to later!). Of course there are tons of screams (some as long as 3-4 seconds!) which are rare to hear in the game, and all the speech, etc! The muzak, all 38 pieces of it is cool! Nice menu, but ONLY the beginning my friends! KOOL STUFF ========== The next menu, labeled "CHEATS R US" The options here are: Timer: ON by default (OFF will make it stay at 99 forever or until one of you pummels the other player to death! Max Fatality Time: OFF By Default (ON makes you get more time to do your fatality move when you have to FINISH HIM (or her!) PLAY MINI GAME: OFF by default (MY FUCKING FAVORITE! Turning this ON and hitting START immediately throws you into a "Galaga" type game (MIDWAY!) which is not exactly Galaga, it's done with MK2 symbols, but is fast as hell, very entertaining, and when you finally die, you will hear the "YOU SUCK" deep throated sound effect!! I guess the rumors were true! :) Try it! Its nice the first time! KOMBAT ZONE: OFF by default (Another favorite: Turning this ON and then starting a game lets you choose the BG zone you're fighting in. It works *AFTER* you select your player. You will see a prompt "Kombat Zone: xxxxxx" and by using left/right directional you can change it and select any zone you like. ENABLE PAUSE: OFF by default (Good feature, turning it ON will let you pause (freeze) the game with the START button during a fight!!!! VIEW GAME CREDITS: OFF by default (Turning it on and hitting start will scroll through tons of credits to give you an idea how many people put time into this project right after you hit START) NEXT MENU: KOOLER STUFF ============ "Cheats R Us #2!" This is the serious baby for the players!! Check these cheats out: 2X Health: Off default [Turn it on and absorb twice the damage!] 2X Damage: Off default [Turn it on and INFLICT twice the damage!] Quick Finish: Off default [**** ONE BUTTON FATALITIES!!!!! ****] "Finish him" - Do any move and its a fatality!! Enable Smoke: Off default [Turn it on and you can select Smoke, the dewd in the middle of the player selection screen, to select him, make sure to move your cursor onto his thingie when he morphs out of his metallic cover, and you can use this awesome warrior to fight with!!! Enable Motaro: Off by default, I really have no idea what this does! :) (I'm not a die hart Mortal Kombat player, but Im sure this will mean something to a lot of people, probably something good!) Enable Power Kode: Off default [On Enables the Arcade Power Kodes!] Health Recovery: Off default [ON: This gives you UNLIMITED ENERGY! Great you say! The only drawback is that it also appears to give YOUR OPPONENT UNLIMITED ENERGY! So it's like a nightmare match! You fight FOREVER, until you just poor beer into your copier and say FUCK IT!) Weird! 30 Credits: (notice they spelled it "Credits"! What happened to the K!) Off by default of course, 5 by default, turn it on and u get 30 The NEXT (and LAST) Cheat menu is: SCOTT'S STUFF ============= This is a real game "environment" and strategy control screen. The options here are: THROWS: ON default [OFF will disable all throws of the opponent and also disables some throws of "stuff" like energy balls, etc altough that really falls under another category in this menu. BLOCKS: ON by default [OFF will disable all blocking by players, thereby rendering damage where normally a player can block a move and receive only minor damage] SWEEPS: ON by default [OFF will disable sweep moves] COMBOS: ON by default [OFF will disable ALL combos, including fatalities, special moves, babalities, etc etc etc, so this is good for a good clean brawl without any magic crap] DARK FIGHTING: *WEIRD!* - Off by default of course, ON makes the game HIGHLY fucking unplayable! It blanks out the screen every few seconds for oh, a long time! I mean long enough for your oponent to seriously fuck you up! (And he can see, if he's a computer oponent). This is good for a two player game where you both stumble around in the dark trying to find each other! Sorta like two blind bastards fighting! Heheh SWITCHEROO: This is weird as well. "RANDPER COMBAT" is the option display when you start the game. Basically, every time you get hit, or your oponent, you MORPH into a different character automatically! So you can choose, say Cyrax, and end up as playing as Jax, Subzero, Smoke (if you have him enabled), Sheeba, or anyone else. It's strange, but interesting to watch! Btw "RANDPER" = Random Personality. Infact you sometimes morph so fast that the voice sometimes says things like "SHANG SHEEBA", or "LIU SONYA" etc. Strange indeed, SCOTT! UNLIMITED RUN: Off by default - Doesnt allow you to run out of steam about 3/4ths of the way across the arena when you're fighting. Good for fast runners like Cyrix, etc where you can blitzkrieg your opponent and cause damage. QUICK UPPERCUT RECOVERY: One of my favorite - OFF by default - You know, usually when you get blasted with one of Jax's uppercuts and get knocked up to another arena, it takes you a while to recover, which causes you to get more damage inflicted. Turning this ON will give you instant uppercut recovery, even though you will still get knocked through the time portal into a different dimensional arena and suffer the damage, you can immediately respond! HYPER FIGHTING: Sorta like the game was without TWK's Slowdown NTSC fix, but faster, MUCH faster. SUPER TURBO PAL MK3. Totally freakish, beyond human reflexes. If you can play this mode on the original NaPaLM unmodified version, you've got a fucking Intel inside. ENABLE SHAO KAHN: Just what it says! Lets you fight as and morph into the big guy! (off by default of course) and finally , another interesting (and weird option) PLAY SLOTS: This is actually funny. Check this out. It's off by default. Turn it ON and hit START, you will see: "WELCOME TO SCOTT's SECRET SLOT ROOM" "EACH PLAYER CAN HAVE UP TO 10 PULLS SO GIVE IT A TRY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST =========================================================================== You have three player pics on one side and three on the other side: SHAO CYRIX JAX SUBZERO SMOKE SONYA (characters always vary from game to game) You pull the handle (imagine there's a handle) with either A,B,X or Y. START immediately lets you exit out of the slots. I guess if you get three of a kind, something wonderful happens, but I tried about 5 times (10 tries each time, 50 tries) and never saw it happen. Maybe you will, but the idea is interesting in itself and Im sure it probably transports you to the "Galaga-type" game or something of the sort. Dunno, but its in there, as they say! ========================================================================== Well, we now have reached the end of this little text! I hope you all find it entertaining and informative to explain those more obscure options and I want to thank a GROUP and TWO individuals: ---- NAPALM, my buds Daviolator, Danzig and especially Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB YEAH!) for being loyal soldiers and bringing the TOY! ---- SuperPopc0rn of NIGHTFALL for discovering these awesome cheats!!!!!!!! One of the best trainer makers alive today and hopefully back from his summer vacation to bring us MORE of these kinds of things! ---- And last, but not least, one of the most talented coders, if not THE most talented coder, THE WHITE KNIGHT of ATX, MY CONNECTION! for the loop! Danzig, Pan, TWK, Wildfire, Midfit and SUPERPOPC0RN (and maybe Antitrack) should get together and write a best selling PSX game, oh what a game that would be! Maybe we'd all go out and pirate a copy! :) Nah, they;d probably give away cd's of it themselves! Heh! Enjoy the game! The scene is NOT dead. U64 is comming and copiers are being designed! ---- Sober [X-Factor, NaPaLM WHQ] ---- Sober [Sometimes Stoned!] X-Factor Console Staff & Co! === Call the following boards: ==== __ ___ ____ _______ _______/\ /\_______ _______ ____ ___ __ \ \\ \\ \\ \ \ \ X-FACTOR / / / // // // / \_\\__\\___\\______\ \__ \ / __/ /______//___//__//_/ \ \ / / NAPALM WHQ - TYRANNY WHQ \ \ / / -10 NODES- 28.8 DUALS MORTALITY WHQ - RISC CHQ \ \ / / \ \/ / IBM/PC - AMIGA - CONSOLES _ ______________ \______________/_____________ _ ______ /(/ _______ \/ _______ _ _______ \/(/ \ /. __) / // / / // / / ./ / _/ // / // // /____ / ./ / / // \ _/ /_/. / /. /_/ / / / //. / / \_____/ \____/\___/\______ / \___ /\ \________/\____/\_ / / \/ /\ \/ \ \/ GET THE # FROM A / / \ \ FAST TRADER NEAR U! / / \ \ iTs-PRi-VATE!-RINGDOWN! __ ___ ____ _______ __/ / 6+ \ \__ _______ ____ ___ __ / // // // / / / GIGS \ \ \ \\ \\ \\ \ /_//__//___//______/ /_______ / ONLINE!! \ _______\ \______\\___\\__\\_\ \/ \/ ^^^ My hangout - Leave me mail in the Console Conference.
