Hi all,

I just overwrote two roms in my umk3 zip mame file to play the new umk3 tournament edition. is there a way to add a second umk3 so that i can choose both?

ummm...yeah but I hope you still have the original rom,.lol.

1) Just take the orginal rom and make a copy of it, then rename it to something similar. (ie, if original rom was umk3.zip then make a copy and rename it to umk3te.zip)

2) Add your new files to it and save.

3) Open up your mame.xml inside the /hyperspin/databases/mame folder and do a search for the original rom (eg, umk3.zip)

4) Copy the following lines and then paste it below that same entry which should be right after the line <game>

5) On the first line of your newly pasted text, change the first line where it says name="umk3" to "umk3te"

6) On the second line, change <description>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (rev 1.2)</description> to <description>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Tournement Edition</description>

7) (optional) On line 5, I change the <manufacturer>Midway</manufacturer> to <manufacturer>Hack</manufacturer>

example,the original you need to copy and paste;

<game image="" index="" name="umk3">

<description>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (rev 1.2)</description>

<cloneof />

<crc />

<manufacturer>Midway</manufacturer>

<year>1994</year>

<genre>Fighter</genre>

<rating>AAMA - Red (Animated Violence Strong)</rating>

<enabled>Yes</enabled>

</game>
