UMK3 - Extended Edition
A big SNES hack that brings Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 closer to the arcade, with every fighter unlocked on an arcade-style select screen and a pile of extra characters, fatalities and modes.
What it is
UMK3 - Extended Edition (once called UMK3 Arcade Edition) is Repliroid do Futuro's ongoing hack of the Super Nintendo Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It starts from Lucas Dext5r's UMK3 Deluxe, whose MK3 stages, Sheeva, Chameleon and stage fatalities are included with his permission, and uses Nemesis_C's Genesis "UMK3 Arcade" hack as a reference.
What's new
- An arcade-style select screen where everyone is available, including Sheeva, Chameleon, Human Smoke, Motaro and Shao Kahn, plus a random slot.
- New fighters such as Khameleon, and hidden ones fought in Shao Kahn's Lost Treasures after beating him in single player, as in the arcade.
- Arcade intro story, new main menu and mode select, the Choose Your Destiny towers, a training mode and a stage select, with many sound, graphics and slowdown fixes.
- Recent betas keep adding moves from Mortal Kombat Trilogy, such as new friendships and fatalities for Rain and Classic Sub-Zero, and hidden extras like MK3's Noob Saibot and a secret stage.
The hack is still in beta and updated often; the repository README lists each change.
Playing it
Apply the IPS patch to your own copy of the US Super Nintendo game, following the instructions in the README. The patched game is 8 MB, so it needs a patcher that can expand the file and an emulator or flashcart that supports 64 Mbit ExHiROM games (it runs in Snes9x and bsnes, not on 32 Mbit flashcarts). Everything is on the GitHub repository.
