Low Volume in MK3

[Aabra]

When loading up Mortal Kombat 3, the volume is always extremely low. I need to raise my speaker volume almost to max to play it and the moment I exit out lower it again.... this is extremely annoying. Does anybody know any solution to this?

Yep Aabra, that's a known issue. And there's a fix in the MAME FAQ,
click here (http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Games#The_volume_in_the_Mortal_Kombat_and_othe r_recent_Williams_games_is_very_low.). :top:

There are lots of nice game-specific tweaks in there, including turning the "blood" on and off in Metal Slug.

the nice thing is, once you fix it it stays fixed :)

I dont think it does stay...the + and - keys also adjust the volume without going into service mode. Its due to issues with the nvram. Also when enabling all charcters in UMK3 the palette gets screwed up.

Sweet, thanks for that link. Lots of useful stuff there. Also - it does stay fixed. The volume is correct now. :)

I didnt notice there but a trick of the trade:
To get simpsons bowling to run you have to enabe -cheat and enable a cheat to get the game to go past POST.. At least you used too.
