3DO Mortal Kombat 2 Port is Finally Finished 3DO HD 2026-09-28 | 3DO Mortal Kombat 2 Port is Finally Finished
MK2 3DO Edition - Available Now 3DO HD 2025-06-07 | A little bittersweet, but after 2 long years Mortal Kombat II for the 3DO is effectively complete. Feature-complete anyway. Gameplay has been improved and sped up, all finishers are in place, there are dozens of easter eggs to find, loading time is minimal.. especially considering this is a CD console. Finishers and Shang Tsung morphs are all loaded asynchronously while music continues to play and there are zero loading pauses. It's a shame the 3DO never got this franchise when it was alive. It's a legendary console and deserved a better fate and a better reputation.I will continue to improve gameplay and fix bugs, uploading new versions of the ISO over the same link:drive.google.com/file/d/1T3Q_iEix3_YPQzNXGK2pRRRxyVP76i8H/view?usp=drive_linkAs of 06/07/2025 the ISO version is 10.05 with CPU AI 1.5Special thanks to everyone on the 3DO discord server, Trapexit and 3dodev.com, @NEONBattleGlitch , @BushyStallion , @TruFunGames , and all the other testers and supporters.Thanks for following along. Enjoy -Shaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohd#3do #mortalkombat2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 - CD Console Demonstration 3DO HD 2025-06-01 | After a pretty disappointing first test on a CD console, I found that re-organizing the ISO file structure (and actual CD file location) makes a huge impact on performance, as the CD doesn't need to travel as far to seek / load files. Since all finishers, Shang Tsung morphing, and BG images are loaded asynchronously while music is playing the file and folder structure needed to be completely re-worked. Here's a much better demo on a CD console. It's not perfect, but it's very good.. and there's ways to improve it further.. but I'm pretty happy with this, and would like to start working on actual gameplay now.Shaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohd#3do #mortalkombat2 #homebrew
Mortal Kombat 2 for the 3DO is Finally Complete 3DO HD 2025-05-19 | All finishers (2 fatalities per fighter, friendships, and this game's version of babalities) are complete and all load asynchronously with no pause in music or gameplay.This required a complete rewrite of the memory allocation system, updates to the music thread, and thousands and thousands of new animation frames, audio samples, and general optimizations.This vid showcases a sample of some of the finishing moves, captured on hardware. I want to gather a few weeks of tester feedback before dropping another ISO to the public.The game isn't totally "finished" yet, as it will still require tweaks and bug fixes... never mind the CPU AI... but it should be feature complete at this point.Shaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohd#3do #mortalkombat2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 Update - All Shang Tsung Morphs 3DO HD 2025-03-11 | Shang Tsung is now complete, and able to load into any fighter (direct opponent or otherwise) with no pause in gameplay or music. I don't know if any other 90s CD fighter did this.Finishers will also be completely pause-free.Additionally, memory handling has been completely re-written, fighter data tables have been offloaded to disc, a memory leak has been corrected, and finishers are on their way to being complete.I'll be dropping an updated ISO soon. Enjoy - Shaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohd#3do #mortalkombat2 #homebrew
3DO Mortal Kombat 2 - Final Release Candidate 3DO HD 2025-01-19 | This is just about the final version of the game. It includes probably close to 100 more bug fixes and gameplay improvements since my previous "Final" video. Also includes improved camera and screen shake, and significantly improved controls.After I get the seal of approval from some pro-level testers ( @BushyStallion and @TehDrewsus ) I will make this ISO available publicly. The same link will remain active for future updates and bug fixes as well.Enjoy and stay tunedShaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohdThanks!Shaun#3do #mk2 #homebrew #mortalkombat2
3DO MK2 Port - Final Gameplay Before Public Release 3DO HD 2025-01-06 | Dozens and dozens of bug fixes and gameplay improvements have been implemented.The game feels and plays much smoother now.There's only minor bug fixes remaining that I'm aware of and I will be making the first public ISO available to the 3DO community that never got this game 30 years ago but should have.Enjoy and stay tunedShaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohdThanks!Shaun#3do #mk2 #homebrew
Mortal Kombat II on 3DO: Release Candidate Gameplay 3DO HD 2024-12-12 | 3DO's MK2 port is just about ready to go.This video showcases all the bug fixes and gameplay improvements since the last vid. There's a handful of noticeable bugs left, but for the most part this port is close to finished.You will hopefully notice how much performance has improved as well.I will be dropping this ISO to only a limited handful of channels / testers before making available to the public for 1 last round of testing.Thanks for watching and following along everyone!Shaun--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohdThanks!Shaun#3do #mk2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 Port WIP - No updates. Performance and Bug Review ONLY 3DO HD 2024-12-01 | This is a full arcade mode playthrough with NO bug fixes implemented since the last video. I added back in debug stat tracking numbers and ran a full playthrough only to identify bugs and performance hits.I was capturing for myself for analysis and testing and figured I may as well upload to YT as well for anyone interested.Anytime the 4th number exceeds 16700 (so 33000) is bad and needs to be identified and fixed. It seems to be several arenas specifically that may need to be further fine-tuned.Also, several new bugs clearly identified relating to direction changes on Kung Lao's throw.--Motivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohdThanks!Shaun#3do #mk2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 BETA 3.2 Gameplay (Almost 100 bug fixes) 3DO HD 2024-11-27 | Gameplay demo of 3DO's MK2 beta version 3.2. This version includes around 100 bug fixes from the previous upload, though a few more are still clearly visible.It also looks like performance has maybe taken a slight hit on a few arenas. So that's great. Definitely looking forward to this project being finished.I was going to release another beta ISO, but there's still too many obvious bugs I need to fix first. EnjoyMotivate me to keep coding ;)ko-fi.com/3dohdThanks!Shaun#3do #mk2 #homebrew
Mortal Kombat II - 3DO Edition Full Playthrough 3DO HD 2024-11-11 | First full playthrough of 3DO's MK2 port, including the victory sequence, end credits, and game over sequence.Now that all the non-gameplay details have been completed I can actually focus on gameplay and bug fixes.As far as I'm currently aware (through hours and hours and hours of mind-numbing stress testing) all memory leaks have been tracked down and corrected.If you're interested in thoroughly beta testing please let me know. And please DO NOT share the beta ISO.Thanks and enjoy!Shaun - #3do #mk2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 Arcade Mode Playthrough (WIP CPU AI) 3DO HD 2024-10-26 | Full Arkade Mode / Battle Plan demo against the newly written (and still WIP CPU AI). Still a little buggy but many of the major issues have been corrected. There's an issue here with Sub-Zero's special SFX set not loading, and a few fighters have the wrong jump-up frames. (Mileena, Scorpion at least.) Shao Kahn's SFX also clip. It's getting there..#3do #homebrew #mortalkombat2
3DO Mortal Kombat 2 - First Time Beta Testing 2 Player 3DO HD 2024-10-20 | All fighter SFX are complete (except Kintaro and Shao Kahn) so I decided to do some 2 player gameplay with my son. What better way to test for bugs than with a button-mashing kid?He plays as Scorpion.It does look pretty buggy but I expect a handful of fixes will correct the majority of issues here. There's also a little bit of slowdown on Goro's lair, but this is not running in official release mode. (Meaning there's still lots of behind the scenes things happening that don't need to be.)Have to mention his new channel... where he plays minecraft. @sjthegamer14 Enjoy
3DO MK2 Dev Update 10.16.24 3DO HD 2024-10-17 | It's been a while so I wanted to post a vid. All fighters base moves, specials, and projectiles are complete. All base sound effects are complete except for Kintaro and Shao Kahn. All fighter special SFX are complete except for a few fighters as well.Everything fits into ram... barely. All music is complete... What's left now is bug fixes, gameplay tuning, and finishing the remaining SFX. Once complete I plan on dropping a beta iso for testing.Once that's complete - Post-match extras will be next. (Fighter by fighter fatalities, babalities, friendships, etc.)#3do #mk2 #homebrew
3DO MK2 Funny Bloopers and Cut Content 3DO HD 2024-08-24 | Thought it would be fun to post a compilation of funny bloopers, dev clips, and cut content. Gameplay has been progressing pretty quickly and smoothly so I expect bloopers will be harder to come by soon.Stay tuned for a limited release beta ISO for testing soon. All fighters are complete except Shang Tsung, Raiden, Shao Kahn, and Kintaro as of 08-24-2024.Enjoy! And please like and subscribe to stay up to date on this project.#3do #mk2 #blooperreel #homebrew
3DO MK2 - All Stage Fatalities 3DO HD 2024-08-08 | All of the stage fatalities are finished.. or just about finished. Quick vid to showcase them all running on hardware. This includes the Kombat Tomb (ceiling spikes), the Pit 2 (drop / splat off the bridge), the Deadpool uppercut into the acid, and 2 new fatalities unique to this 3DO port for the Living Forest and 3DO Desert arenas. This is a major step to have complete.Also showing some different variations of arena backgrounds which I think look pretty good.Next up - Improve how blood is handled in general and finish the rest of the fighters' specials. (5 to go.) Then time for early beta testing! Enjoy#3do #mk2 #homebrew
MK2 Port - Fixing Bugs and 3DO Hardware Crashes 3DO HD 2024-07-29 | Hey everyone - I had been dealing with some memory leaks and crashes occurring on hardware.Super concerning as the game would randomly exhibit odd behavior and under certain conditions crash the 3DO hardware. (Living Forest arena on the 2nd reload, battle plan mode fight 2, and eventually after several fights on casual mode as well.)About 40 instances of tiny memory leaks have been identified and corrected... Same with a major issue regarding unloading / reloading P2 SFX in 1P mode. In this vid I show how I tracked down where another major issue was occurring, and what the fix was... then confirmed by testing on hardware.It's tricky because I don't have (and don't know if anyone even has) a proper 3DO dev unit. (Not that I would care to have one anyway honestly...)Maybe a bit boring - but good news these issues were tracked down and corrected.#3do #mk2 #homebrew #debugging
3DO Mortal Kombat 2 Port Update 07-23-24 - Improved Gameplay with Special Moves and Projectile Demos 3DO HD 2024-07-24 | Significant progress has been made over the past 10 days or so, so I wanted to post a video showing the improvements VS the previous video.Showing specials and projectiles for Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Kitana, Baraka, and Scorpion as well as alt palettes and arena variations.Once all of the fighter specials / projectiles are finished and I've gotten the 3 arena fatalities working I will drop a limited test ISO to a handful of users for early beta testing.If anyone has any interest I am planning on posting another dev vid as well showing the behind the scenes coding and gameplay logic.Thanks everyone!Shaun
3DO Mortal Kombat 2 Port Update 07-12-2024 3DO HD 2024-07-13 | Hey guys - I wanted to post a progress update video as it's been a few months. I've tightened up gameplay quite a bit and have specials and projectiles working for 5 fighters: Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Baraka, and Scorpion.Still generally running at 60fps as well, though I believe there is a memory leak occurring after the Pit 2 arena fatality is triggered.Apologies for the poor audio quality - I'm not great at recording, talking, editing, etc.Enjoy!PS - I told my son I would mention his channel once I hit 1k subscribers. Check out @sjthegamer14 ( youtube.com/@sjthegamer14 ) for Minecraft and Geometry Dash videos.Thanks everyone!Shaun
3DO Mortal Kombat 2 Gameplay 04-20-2024 3DO HD 2024-04-20 | It's been a while so I wanted to post a vid showing current progress on the 3DO MK2 Port.Hitboxes and attack-boxes have been added but still need to be tweaked a bit on a few fighters. General gameplay has been significantly improved. Jump attacks now change direction as expected like in the arcade version.Except when the 50% trans hit and attack boxes are visible the game still runs almost constantly at 60 fps, though there is still a bit of optimization left to be done.1p mode is mostly done but needs a bit of tightening up. You'll notice the wrong fighter is selected for example towards the end of the vid.I'm too tired to write a proper description, so here's one from Chat GPT:Dive into the realm of retro gaming with our latest update on the Mortal Kombat 2 port for 3DO! Watch as iconic fighters clash in intense battles, showcasing the classic gameplay that has stood the test of time.👊 Witness the mastery of Liu Kang as he unleashes devastating special moves against his opponents, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

3DO MK2 Port - Throws, Slams, and new Arena Fatality 3DO HD 2024-02-11 | Quick vid showing the last of the basic animations which are finally mostly complete. (Some timing still needs to be adjusted a bit, and Kung Lao has an alt throw.)Also the initial framework for fatalities has been laid.#3do #homebrew #mk2
Fighting Through the Fog - Coding 3DOs MK2 Port with COVID 3DO HD 2024-02-05 | In depth code review and walkthrough, showing some more behind-the-scenes of how the gameplay works.. and specifically getting into animation and damage handling for throws and body slams.Very quickly realize my brain is not working right, so cut the first vid off short a couple days ago and yesterday I tested positive for COVID-19, which explains the brain fog.I felt a bit better tonight so I cleaned up some bugs and finished up the vid. Still clearly feeling off and my brain is still super foggy, but made some decent progress nonetheless.May be a bit boring and painful to watch - But if you're interested in coding, MK2, and covid's effects on your brain it may be interesting.Enjoy - and thanks!#3do #mk2 #codingwithcovid #homebrew
3DO MK2 Port Progress Update 01-31-2024 - Audio and Gameplay 3DO HD 2024-02-01 | Quick video showing the game's progress running at 60fps on hardware with some audio samples, background music, gameplay, alt fighter palettes, and a brief CPU "AI" demo. (It's not really AI, it just randomly presses buttons.)The vid was much longer with a full arena tour showcasing all of the arena background tracks, but my stupid capture card flaked out and echoed the audio.Now need to focus on incorporating the rest of the audio clips and tightening up gameplay so it is close to arcade accurate. Then will work on special attacks and finishers. Also battle plan (1P) mode, and Shao Kahn / Kintaro.This has been a LOT of work. Mostly fun, but lots and lots of mindless busy work.#3do #homebrew #mk2
MK2 3DO Port - Palette Swapping and CPU AI 3DO HD 2024-01-17 | Quick post to show palette swapping in action (cycling through) and an accidentally nasty CPU AI. (It's just button mashing, but it happened to land a random combination resulting in a pretty nice combo.)#mk2 #3do #homebrew
3DO MK2 Port - Gameplay Demo 01-14-24 3DO HD 2024-01-14 | All of the basic fighter animation states have been loaded, positioned, timed, and had their damage types and amounts set.There are still many bugs to fix (some of which you may catch in this vid), and some of the throw / body slam animations need to be tweaked, but for the most part the basic gameplay is good to go.It's a little clunky as I'm playing both P1 and P2 on a keyboard.Next up will be getting the post-fight sequences functioning properly, working on the 1 player battle plan loop, and fine-tuning the remaining items that need to be fine tuned.That should officially complete whatever phase this is... Next up after that will be specials and fatalities.#3do #homebrew #mk2
3DO MK2 Port Coding and Dev 3DO HD 2023-12-31 | Showing some behind the scenes in the MK2 development. A lot of it is very tedious, but a lot of this game dev is tedious.Showing Trapexit's 3it tool for 3DO cel conversion and the batch processing, some sprite positioning, and some bug fixing.It's kind of boring, but enjoy -Shaun#c #3do #homebrew #mk2
3DO MK2 Port Progress Update 12-29-23 3DO HD 2023-12-30 | Quick vid with a great song showing current progress. Still running at 60fps on hardware, on all arenas with all fighters and all UI components loaded.Crashed a little while in due to some missing frames for Jax and Shang Tsung. Easy to fix... Getting there.You can see how some of the fighters animation frames are not positioned, timed, or set properly for damage output.Options menu has been added as well as Battle Screen. (Showing P1 VS P2 and the arena.)#3do #homebrew #mk2

3DO MK2 Port - All Arenas at 60FPS with Variations and Fighters 3DO HD 2023-11-18 | Demo on 3DO hardware of all arenas (and arena variations) rendering at 60 FPSThe number on the left is the gameplay + drawcels round trip, which must be under 16.6ms. Due to many optimizations all are now well under.At the end showing 2 loaded fighters as well on each arena which all still animate at 60FPS. (I only have Liu Kang and Reptile's basic animations fully loaded currently.)Next up - Loading the rest of the fighters' basic animation frames and states, and beginning in-game audio. Still on track for Q1 2024 release.#3do #mortalkombat2 #homebrew
MK2 on 3DO at 60FPS (Preview) 3DO HD 2023-11-16 | After months of tweaks, optimizations, and re-building the arenas 4 times, finally got fully animated arenas and fighters going at 60 frames per second... Going to shift gears and work on audio next, but this is a huge step.#3do #mk3 #homebrew #optimization
3DO MK2 Hardware Arena Performance Test (No Audio) 3DO HD 2023-10-25 | Pausing active development to focus on actual performance on real hardware. In order to render / achieve smooth gameplay at 60 frames per second, the entire game loop must occur in under 16.7 milliseconds.The number in the top-left corner shows the 3DO "DrawCels" time in Microseconds. The 2nd number shows the round trip time. Some arenas are good.. some need a little work. Once this process is complete I will get back to loading and positioning all the fighter CELs... Then work on actual gameplay mechanics... then finally button everything up. (Oh, and audio..)Still on track for Q1 2024 at this point.
3DO MK2 Port - All Arenas Complete 3DO HD 2023-09-27 | 3DO MK2 port status update - as of 09-26-2023 all arenas are complete, and visually improved over the original arcade version.Special thanks to my buddy @archive3do769 for help with the upgraded graphics.All arenas are now able to be viewed / toured in the Arena Tour mode. Next up is adding support for Y-Axis offsets and screen shake effect.Once that is complete I will begin working on the actual fighters and gameplay animations and mechanics.
3DO MKII Port - Arena Tour Mode Preview 3DO HD 2023-09-24 | Developer update 09-24-2023 - Showcasing the Arena Tour mode. This mode will allow you to browse the game's arenas at your leisure, including moving left / right / up / down as much as the arena allows.. and will include a "shake" feature. (Both fun and interesting for players and useful for testing / debugging for me.)7 of 10 arenas are complete: - Kahn's Arena - Kombat Tomb - Living Forest - The Armory - The Portal - The Tower - Goro's LairThe final 3 will be done next. Audio in this video is simply a looped MK clip.I also have plans for additional custom arenas, as well as different variations of the original arenas. Stay tuned for updates#3do #mk2 #homebrew
3DO Mortal Kombat II - The Living Forest Arena 3DO HD 2023-09-18 | Developer update - The Living Forest Arena has been completed. Including 5 layers of parallax scrolling and 3 independently animated trees.The first game mode to be made available for stress testing will be the Arena Tour. As of 09-17-2023 the Living Forest is complete, The Temple is 90% complete, and the Kombat Tomb is 75% complete.#3do #mk2 #homebrew
Mortal Kombat II - 3DO Edition 3DO HD 2023-09-13 | Now in active development. An arcade port of Mortal Kombat 2 to the 3DO. This is a huge undertaking with a lot of work left, but initial tests are showing some promise.The game plan is to include all of the original arcade stages at their original quality (and maybe more), a single player mode, a 2 player VS mode, a casual mode with no timer or health bars, and a stage explorer mode. (And maybe even a secret fighter or two.)Challenges include loading lots of data off cd rom, a 320x240 screen resolution VS the arcade's 400x254, and very limited console ram. (1mb VRAM, 2mb DRAM.) Some corners will need to be cut unfortunately but hopefully not too many.Check out the 3DO discord for the latest.#3do #homebrew #mk2 #mortalkombat2

Is this the Worlds Best Tetris CPU AI? (On 3DO) 3DO HD 2023-04-25 | Finished coding and implementing the CPU AI for the upcoming REAL 3DO Tetris 2... and it works shockingly well. So well it seems to never be able to lose after I implemented the "Hold Swap" functionality... in addition to its current "Find the Best Position for my Active Piece" logic.During stress testing running at full speed it kept going, and going, and going... and once it hit over 700k I had to start recording.In-game it would never be allowed to run this quickly... But I wanted to see how far and fast it could go. Game mode is "Casual", which is why P1 keeps resetting once the blocks hit the top.I stopped recording and shut it down after 1.1mm because it's almost 1am and I have work in the morning...#3do #ai #tetris

3DO Tetris Gameplay 2 - WIP Homebrew as of 04-07-2023 3DO HD 2023-04-08 | Got it running at 60fps by cutting a few corners. Needs SFX, the ability to toggle music and SFX on and off, and a bit more testing and performance tuning and it will be made available for public release#3do #homebrew #tetris
3DO Tetris Gameplay - WIP Homebrew as of 04-04-2023 3DO HD 2023-04-05 | Still needs some performance tuning, SFX, and the ability to enable / disable music. Runs at 60fps on 4DO but unfortunately not the case on 3DO hardware where it seems to run slower and slower as more CELs are made visible. Will be releasing to the public shortly...#3do #homebrew #tetris
