MK Trilogy and mala...need a little help

severdhed:

my boys recently discovered and fell in love with the mortal kombat series.  naturally, i want to make as many of them as possible playable on my cabinet. all i have left is mk trilogy. (Im running windows 7 pro 64bit) i have the windows version with the vista patch...with some help from ahk, i got the controls working. i found an old thread with a vbs script that helped me bypass the 16bit nag box and set it to full screen at launch.

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,108080.msg1147001.html#msg1147001:

here are the issues

the game works fine when i call the vbs script from a batch file. but when i launch the batch file from mala, mala takes focus and i have to alt-tab to get to the game.

then comes the issue of exiting the game...i cant figure out how to do so without exiting full screen and closing the window....any ideas?

i tried using a program called closemul that someone recommended to me for closing my ps2 emulator.  this causes the game to close, but mala is then all messed up...my background is shifted down and right.   i tried the reorder mala layout on game quit option, but it didnt help. im sure it is because of the resolution change, but mkt does not let me specify a resolution.  what can i do?



DarakuTenshi:

Have you thought about using the N64 or PSX versions to avoid those issues? By the way I love MKT! Really wish they would have released an arcade version.

severdhed:

yeah, i've thought about using the psx version, which is probably what i'll end up doing if i can't get this sorted out...i just have to figure out which psx emulator to go with.

eds1275:

Could you try running something like http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Other-VIDEO-Tools/QRes.shtml to change the resolution back after exiting MKT? Even if exciting MK brings back the original resolution, perhaps forcing it a second time might help?

BadMouth:

I'd redo the vbs stuff in autohotkey.  (mostly because I know ahk better  ;)  )

You could add:
mouseclick, left
after the game launches as an easy way to change focus.

Then to close it, use:
ESC::
Winclose, mktrilogy
(mktyrilogy being whatever is in the title bar of the window when the game is running)
This is a gentler way of closing it and probably won't screw up the resolution.

If the resolution is still screwed up, you can do it the more complicated way:
