Ok. Here's the scoop. With the help of the original code modder, "core333," I was able to hack rev 5.0's UJ12 rom and edit the code to modify the game. The game now has...

-) Fast Uppercut Recovery

-) Extreme Blood (Sub and JC Fatality Only)

-) After you beat the first opponent in the Endurance match, he comes back to life and BOTH opponents fight you simultaneously.

Here's the video.


*EDIT* Video removed due to game crashing when you perform Scorpion's spear move. Enabling the Fast Uppercut Recovery causes it to happen, so I have abandoned using 5.0 for these mods. I am using Turbo Ninja instead. See new posts below for the video*


What do you think? I have not burned the rom and done this on actual hardware yet as I am still in Afghanistan. I'll do just that when I get home.


Also did one that's NOT playable called "Identity Crisis." Here's that one. You'll see why it's not playable...

Very interesting hack! I wonder how it's going to react on the real hardware. What would be really awesome would be that the blood fountain effect would instead appear on the defeated fighter's throat on the ground. It would spurt a huge amount of blood for a couple of moments then it would slow down and stop.

The endurance stuff is neat.

My wishlist for a hack would be this

1) Longer Battle Plan with an additional endurance round where you fought 3 characters
2) Reptile being selectable. He would randomly have scorp'S or sub's moveset at the start of the round
3) having the pit's bottom come up as a regular background
4) Faster gameplay found in the turbo ninja hack

That's the first thing I thought too, but I don't know the line of code that can change it from being suspended in the air to coming out of their neck on the ground.
 
It also appears that enabling the fast uppercut recovery and picking Scorpion and doing his spear move causes the game to crash :( If I turn the fast uppercut recovery off and just keep the extra blood mod and the return of the dead mod, the are no other real glitches to speak of.
 
This is cool. I would love to play this. I hope it translates well. I'm still hoping for a UMK3 hack to include Rain one day.

The blood is probably being created by a particle system that appears at the X/Y coordinate of the opponents neck. It would probably depend on if after the fatality is performed if that X/Y neck info is available to attach the particle system to.

Just a shot in the dark. Either way, what you did is pretty damn awesome! Congrats man, keep it up!
 
Ok, so because it appears that modding the game's code to enable the "fast uppercut recovery", picking Scorpion and doing his spear move in 5.0 causes the game to crash, I decided to do the "Extra Blood" mod and "Return Of The Living Dead" mod in the Turbo Ninja version since it already has fast uppercut recovery. I played the game through a few times with most of the characters and could find no real problems. :D

So, it looks like I'll have to use the Turbo Ninja version to be able to play with these mods and not have glitches/problems. Here it is in action (the last round is full of hilarious win...)





What should I call it? "Turbo Zombie," "Turbo Endurance?"


Here is the modified .zip if anyone wants to play this new version of Turbo Ninja. Simply overwrite your existing mktturbo.zip and you're all set! (you can save your original if you so choose) Have fun..!

:D
 
I changed the code regarding the projectiles. They are now completely insane! Especially Kano....


 
Wow! I actually loved the fact that Sonya's fireball knocks them down! It makes her attack feel super powerful haha

edit: the ending is hilarious

Also you are getting to something..

Here is the "Projectile Insanity" hack listed above if anyone wants to have fun with it. Check it out and report back. I'm not sure if this counts as rom distribution per the rules so if it does, the mods can remove it, but for now here it is...

For those who don't know, save your original "mktturbo.rar/zip" and use the one in the link above to overwrite your original. Or you can remove your original from your "roms" folder and put this one in there instead. Up to you. If you have any problems getting it to work, let me know.
 
I threw it in MAME before and played through a bunch of games. Sub Zero with Lighting Ice,I can get used to this.
