SlidellMan Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I have to say that TruFun has made substantial progress in porting MK to the Jaguar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we have a solid port of Primal Rage, plus fighters like Kasumi Ninja and Ultra Vortek, so MK was always in the realm of possibility IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agradeneu Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) It's an early alpha and it's Mortal Kombat on the Jaguar! This alone is a major achievement. However, getting rid of the many issues will take another huge effort by the programmer. Keeping fingers crossed. What makes me worry the most is performance. The Object Processor already waves the white flag, tearing apart the screen top when there is an uppercut move. Also, the jump kicks and mid air rolls are noticably choppy compared to other versions. There is no AI yet, so lets hope it does not choke up everything. Still alot of work. Edited April 16 by agradeneu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the argument was about the Jaguar’s Object Processor, and how it wasn’t strong enough (or too buggy) to pull off a good port of Mortal Kombat.

I think the exact sentence was rather that it would be difficult or even impossible to make a pixel perfect because of the insufficient RAM on the Jaguar and/or the insufficient speed of the cartridge port as well as the particularity of these display modes compared to the majority of 2D arcade games of the time (tile mode and very large CLUT) Edited April 16 by DEATH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this on Reddit The sprite sizes vary slightly, based on the character, but in general the arcade sprites are 80x144 and the DOS sprites are 64x112. Now that I've converted everything over to the DOS sprites, I actually prefer them. It leaves more room for the fighters on-screen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad it’s happening! I did not agree with discarding the Jaguar Object Processor, being not capable enough. And of course, I appreciate and support the effort to bring MK to the Jag!

Iam sure, that the more Tru learns about the Jaguar, the better MK will improve on its way to completion. Also, remember it runs on Jagstudio, proving the potential of those software tools Edited April 18 by agradeneu 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Just now, agradeneu said: Iam sure, that the more Tru learns about the Jaguar, the better MK will improve on its way to completion. I agree. I’m waiting for the finished version. I’m not sure if Tru will release it on cart, but if not, I’ll have a reason to buy a Game Drive.

agradeneu Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Unfortunality, some of the "supporters" are trying to take over the project and use it as a weapon against AA and especially homebrew devs!🙄 See for yourself, mind the comments section: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
