I can’t do it. I tried the second method and it doesn’t work for me

[@RikiYamada]

Aww! Wish you showed on MK2’s menu, where 1 of the stats items displays “Kano transformations”, which, initially, that convinced me that it WAS possible to morph into Kano, as a hidden feature but, the few arcade mk2 machines I got to access the menus with, I’d always see “0” next to how many ‘Kano transformations’. So, I just figured the programmers just added that line just to mess w/ us

[@fluffypotato1827]

Your video game collection is awesome!!!!! Much love!

[@8-BitEric]

Thanks so much

[@TheKingRobot]

This does not work on the new MK legacy cab :(

[@Scat_bxby]

Yea can’t get mine to work

[@zacharywiedrick6224]

I didn’t know all of these existed thanks! I subbed

[@AdolfoPerezSBG]

The second hidden menu can’t be accessed in the new machines. As soon as you press lp and hk the game starts.

[@robd1859]

Now how do you make it work on the counter cade?

[@Dannydogmouth]

So great that they even thought to put this as an option in the kit. Great stuff. That's keeping it retro

[@KingRey2001]

@@nikolas_schreck For real? That's insane, where'd you manage to find one for so cheap?

[@mittlayton7187]

If you choose to go into the test menu just by holding the buttons down on all 3 games, whatever you change in the settings whether it be the difficulty or volume, it will not save until you put your initials in. So if you're going to change settings through the test menu, "because it's easier to get into" after you change your settings, what I did was play a two-player game and just kept winning over and over until it asked for my initials. Like I said, it will NOT save until that happens. Now if you go to the EJB menu and change the same settings, it'll give you the option to put your initials in right then, and then it WILL save your settings RIGHT THEN.

[@tropicalbeach9225]

the shortcut code does not have character endings enabled on it right? looks like you will have to do long code if you want character endings

[@ApophisNow_]

I have the legacy edition 1up arcade. (Comes with 9 others retro arcade games) I did the EJB menu on umk3, had to enter it 3 times for the hidden characters to save and same with the lowered difficulty. Quit the game and went back in it. Everything was locked and the AI is cheap still.

[@evilspin]

What exactly is the warning of bricking the arcade? What are we being careful of? Doing the combo code too many tries? Or changing something in specific if the ejb menu?

[@joshb9657]

i have a UK 2019 Version & it does not work, wonder if its been patched? so frustrating as mk2 is sooooo hard on medium

[@adamwalker9150]

[@Sega_is_all_i_cd]

Wow that second method for accessing the EJB menu is a whole lot easier! I’m afraid of having issues if I do it.

[@jasonpavlak2055]

Only one you really need the ejb menu for is for the third one so you can unlock the hidden characters then play two player mode for about 10 games then play the computer and whether you win or lose you'll be able to enter your initials and that should save it. At least that's what I did and I added the same initials that I saw in the video that I watched from a guy that accessed the ejb menu and not the other fast easy one so far mine's not bricked and I've watched the fatality demonstration unlocked all characters and have all 3 games set too easy and can turn it on and off and everything is kosher. I heard of people breaking there Mortal Kombat 1 game but I've yet to experience anything like that.

[@jeffyjeffy1193]

I did on mine for mortal mom at 1 and It bricked mortal Kombat 2 for some reason so if your gonna do this just be aware of the risk

[@raysalas4258]

Can't get it to work on the Costco Mortal Kombat unit. Wonder if they blocked it on these boards.

[@evilash570]

The roms for the MK arcade 1-up are legit! Those are the arcade debug menus, cool!

[@jholl4572]

Hold up, high kick and low punch on 2 player side. Hold block and run on player 1 side during start game screen. Easier and safer way of access to change difficulty screen.

[@TotalMK]

The thing you got wrong in your video was no one knew this code, it stayed secret for 25 years. So no one was doing this in the Arcade. Only Ed and John knew it.

[@8-BitEric]

It’s nice

[@luiselpuro2419]

Thats Really nice thats awesome i winder how do you do to keep MK one to UMK3 ON the Same Gabinet what kind Sistem or platform you use it Can you telk mevpkz Thamks???

[@amoshumphrey1136]

I have Walmart brand will it still work

[@8-BitEric]

Yes

[@The_Laser_Channel]

since you can access dip-switch settings which typically aren't available to consumers, I am not surprised the EJB menu's were hidden so well and for so long....could you imagine doing EJB menu in an arcade and changing it to Free Play?

[@jasonpavlak2055]

It's been done, but yes I can imagine

[@thedude-wb5vx]

ones the ejb menu the one you hold the buttons is for the test menu. the test menu is what the arcade owners would use that was somewhat known the ejb menu tho hasnt been known all to long. dont beleive any arcades ever accessed the ejb menu

I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out if I had to do that or if my machine was acting weird lol. I just got this and TMNT for $200 each and I'm ecstatic!

The arcade1up Riser is official because it says 1up on it though there is another company making graphics for the side panel if I'm not mistaken it's raining on one side and Shiva on the other you just have to search Google Mortal Kombat cabinet graphics, you can also upgrade the joysticks like I plan on doing, they begin with a 's I think sanawai the name of them

[@stevenwhite38]

It's the official settings menu for the arcade owner or a service engineer, it will not damage anything!

[@jasonpavlak2055]

I've successfully been into the ejb menus on each one the only one you really need it for is for the third one to unlock the hidden characters but you can make it easy using the easy method to access the hidden menu. And the video that I watched where the guy entered the ejb menu on Mortal Kombat 3 I entered the same initials as he did. I did exactly what was in his video and all three of my games are set at easy and all hidden characters are unlocked

[@vinny736]

jason pavlak I have done the easy method but if u don’t mind can u point me to the exact video I saw so I can do the rgb menu to unlock chars for 3? I know there’s a few but I’d like to do exactly as u since I know yours didn’t brick

This is probably why u dont see these games in the arcades anymore 😂

Got it to work on players to side you have to hold low punch low kick and up on player one side you hold the run and block button why holding all this and then hold down the player two-button and the menu will come up the only thing is I cannot get the hidden characters unlocked

[@nellyp2622]

In Ultimate MK3 you need the actual EJB menu to enable secret characters or else you have to use the power codes. Ermac - 12344 44321 Mileena - 22264 22264 (supposedly this is Ed Boon’s Birthday Feb 22 1964) Classic Sub-Zero - 81835 81835 They stay unlocked once the codes are entered and you reload the game so that is better than risking bricking the ROM. I wouldn’t mind using the test menu to lower the difficulty though cause the AI is annoying on medium with the input reading.
