Can someone add some information about the compatibility status of PlayStation's Mortal Kombat Trilogy game with PlayStation 2?
Regards, Carioca 05:36, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I believe it works for the most part, but known for freezing, especially when you beat the game. Buzda 05:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
PlayStation 2 Black Slimline SCPH-75001: It stalled (locked up) after losing a fight and the continue timer expired. That required a reset and reload to play again. I didn't do a lot of workaround testing because I already have MK, MK2, and MK3 combined by owning Midway Arcade Treasures 1 and Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for the PlayStation 2. Others may have more information including workarounds, if they exist. 76.122.221.218 ( talk) 09:57, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
I think they should be removed and only featured on the characters individual articles. Buzda 10:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Does Khameleon have a bio or not? Her article states that she only has an ending, no bio, but there's a bio written here. A google search of this bio does bring up some results (Not Wikipedia mirrors, either), but I'd like to know sure. She doesn't appear in the N64 MKT instruction booklet (Where all the bio's, sans Human Smoke, are written), but that's not surprising considering she's a secret character. MarphyBlack 13:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
She has a bio on the N64 game! What I typed is 100% correct. Buzda 15:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
If so, what is it? I can't find it anywhere online. Buzda 15:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, excellent question ! No one knows if there really is one working code. So ??? filouk
I removed it since noone can come up with one :D Buzda 02:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I just read over this part of the article and I don't think it's necessary or enyclopedic to be listing random game-crashing bugs in the game. The only point I see really worthy of mention is that infinite (And otherwise very powerful) combos can be performed through the use of certain bugs, as this actually bears some importance to a specific faction of MK players (those who create combo videos and whatnot). However, this bullet point could easily be moved verbatim to the triva section. The rest seem pointless to me (Why does it matter that morphing into Rain and using a specific special move at a certain point during a match crashes the game? At least, why does it deserve to be mentioned here?). MarphyBlack 01:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
The main reason I started this section is because MKT is notorious for its large amounts of...well...bugs and glitches. I was thinking maybe adding a criticisms section and explaining the games unbalanced characters and maybe some of these programming errors can be added in it. Buzda 04:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I came up with brand new Kombat Kodes, but I was censored. I perfectly know that Wikipedia is not for cheat codes, but my purpose was to mention that some kodes have never been unveiled anywhere although they do exist, and I think this fact can be mentioned in an encyclopedy (the fact that, oddly, some codes remained hidden for such a long time). I have been reproached with starting a sentence by "Another possibility is...". Well, first, that sentence is really of minor importance, and second, up a few lines you can notice that someone wrote : "Another possibiliy is that it was simply intended as a joke and was never intended to unlock any characters to begin with." and no one has ever reproached that person of writing that, so... ?? What seems important to me is to talk about the fact that some kodes were never released : it's a very rare fact, because usually every code of any game is revealed short after the game's release, and this game is at least 10 years old !
Yeah, I did it myself, with a hex editor. I am sorry but I don't see how you could find any "original/official source" apart from the programmers themselves, and those ones didn't even reveal the Ultimate Mortal Kombat Kode. Just try it yourself, and you will see that the codes work. Anyway I put them on GameFaqs, so I don't care. I was just trying to add some info to Wikipedia, but seing how difficult/complicated this is, well I give up.
I still don't understand why Cheats aren't allowed in Wikipedia. There are objective facts, and they are a part of a game. I think cheats are as important as the release date or the programmers' names. Since I was a little boy, I've been writing down cheats about my favourite games, and I have always had the feeling that they took part in your esthetic feeling towards games. I think that whether cheats should be allowed or not is intimately linked to the question :"Are video games an art ?". I would answer yes to both questions, and I understand that not all people share this opinion. The problem is that cheats are usually considered as ways to help players to progress inside the game, just like video games are regarded as simple entertainment tools. Of course it is what they are, originally. But after you have played a game, when you get to develop an esthetic feeling towards a game (I'm not talking about graphics), which happens once you have finished a game and can "contemplate" it, then you understand that cheats are an inner part of the game. Whether a game has good cheats or not, whether a game offers an original way of typing the codes, can have its importance when you get to consider the true value of it (exemple : Kombat Kodes in Mortal Kombat are to my mind a very original way of entering cheats, and this fact contributes to my liking of the game ; another exemple : Donkey Kong Country and Diddy's Kong-Quest cheats, in which the button sequences are in fact english words). Ironically, such trivial things as cooking tricks (in recipes), are allowed in Wikipedia... so I really don't see why there is such a discrimination about video game cheats.

In a review of the game ( http://www.gamespot.com/ps/action/mortalkombattrilogy/review.html) I read that MKT introduced a new option where players can "select 'auto' combos, which make those difficult multi-button attacks much easier to perform." As I don't own the game, I don't know how this actually works, but maybe someone who does can add that information into the article. The same review also states that morphing with Shang-Tsung was much faster now as the game preloads several characters before a much with Shang-Tsung, removing the loading delay. Shouldn't this be put into the article as well? At least according to the review, these improvements justify buying the game even if you own all the previous ones. 88.73.37.150 10:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC) This post was written by me, I just created an account. Hi everybody. Zarkumo 16:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
So I found a few pics of the beta version of MKT. Anyways, I added a bit info of the beta version, a little. I'll add few more info of the beta version. No, I don't have the ISO..
P.S. For sakes of it, I'll put the pic here...

I tried to play Mortal Kombat Trilogy on my PC, but their's no music. Yes, their's sound effects, but no music. can someone help?-- 67.84.12.248 01:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
In my computer, drive D is the 'Recovery drive'. What does this mean?-- 67.84.12.248 18:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
When was the Windows version released? 2fort5r ( talk) 19:30, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
The article says: "Richard Divizio is the actor for the sprites used during gameplay." Richard Divizio played baraka back in MK2, so he's hardly a new actor to the series. However, there are some moves that were not available in the original MK2 game, so there is a chance that Richard was asked to play Baraka again, to record those new moves. Can somebody confirm/deny this and make appropriate changes to the said part of the article?

I believe the Sega Saturn version was the same as the Greatest Hits PSX version.-- Sexy Kick 03:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
It's relatively different from the PSX version, but the only reason the N64 version has it's own section is because it was a compressed, cartridged piece of crap. Not to be fanboyish or anything but it's probably the reason behind its notability. Strykie-boy ( talk) 13:08, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, if someone has a ideo for the cheats of this game, make i know, i'm from Burkina Faso, i want to play MKT like gamecombos. Thanks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.52.146.110 ( talk) 19:51, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
