In case you don't know, X-Men CotA has also a (fully working) debug menu, and I figured out how to get Akuma in CHAR TEST. (See my sandbox)

Anyway, so I looked at Street Fighter Alpha and noticed that "Itoshisato Setsunasato Kokorozuyosato", the Dramatic Battle song in the Japanese version of the game (actually from the SF2 anime movie, only remixed and made instrumental) is not in the sound test, only through manual MAME cheats (set "Sound Test" in MAME cheat menu to "52 (0x34)") only. Address 0x34 (after Dan's theme and ending theme) in official sound test menu are empty, for some reason.

I have no idea why.

Of course I know about the X-Men CotA menu, I hacked it lol. Nice work with the sound thing though as it is always nice to see unused content in any form. Let me know if you unlock one of the menus I've found in this thread as I'd be interesting in checking them out.

Currently venturing through Gran Turismo 3's audio files, aaaaaand there's a lot of slowed down / pitched down drum samples, guitar notes / slides, and plenty of other instruments that I'm preeeetty sure I've never heard while playing this game. A lot of the samples / loops actually fade out at the end like the Car RPM sounds.

I personally thought the game uses recorded music but it looks like the music is 'live' or this might have been just cut content, currently not sure....

anyway here's some sped up examples:

some sick ass (poorly looped) breaks

some loop that sounds like it came from rob base & dj ez rock's it takes two

another drum loop

a crash sample i swear i've heard before

a 'pad' sound, not sure if it's correctly cleaned since I've never heard it before

two of the menu sounds from the game which are not cut (not sure about the second one)

and some music that plays at the start of a race that was already properly pitched

There's also a piano piece that I'm also sure didn't make it in the game.

This is an annoying vehicle that overlaps traffic lanes and rides around Tokyo's expressways as if it owns them. It has the worst power, speed, and driving manners.

This type of vehicle has inhabited Tokyo's expressways for countless years. You will find them on all routes, day or night.

These gigantic vehicles have been driving throughout Japan for countless years. Their large size makes them awkward, and they drive around coastal roadways as if they owned them.

These vehicles slowly make their way over Tokyo's expressways late at night. They carry a sign reading "Under Construction" and often stop, blocking traffic lanes and causing unexpected late-night traffic jams. You will find them almost everywhere.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but something's been perplexing me for a while. I was given the Windows 95 version of 'Mortal Kombat 3' years ago, and while I lost the CD, I still have the instruction manual.

There's a screenshot in there, of the usual VS. screen, but the first player appears to be Baraka from MKII.

As far as I know, that shouldn't be the case, since the characters were finalized in the original Arcade version, right? Every other version was a port. While I no longer have the CD, and my PC couldn't run the old game, I remember going through the files on the CD and there was nothing to suggest Baraka was in there. So why on Earth would Baraka appear in the instruction manual?

Would it be some kind of mockup? I don't understand why it would be though, considering that the Arcade game was already out. Unless the screenshots were taken during development of the Arcade game and accidentally included within the Windows 95 port's instruction manual.

I'll find my instruction manual and take a screenshot.

EDIT:

Ah, here. I found the instruction manual. As you can see, it has Baraka on the VS. screen, and another screenshot has Rayden fighting Scorpion. While the character select screenshots have the final MK3 roster, a third screenshot shows the purple ninja Rain, suggesting that the Ninjas were definitely intended to be included at some point.

Could these have just been screenshots taken during the original Arcade development, presuming they originally either used MKII assets for testing purposes or that they were originally going to include MKII characters before creating a whole new roster?

Note that the level timer appears above the health bars in the Arcade version, which is consistent with two of these screenshots, whereas the Windows 95 version has the level timer directly between the health bars. The instruction manual has screenshots with both variations, suggesting that some of these screenshots are indeed from an early Arcade prototype, whereas others are directly from the 95 Version.






Also of interest, while the final has "Sub-Zero", this screenshot appears to spell it as one word, although it's hard to tell due to both the blurriness of the original screenshot and the further blurriness of my camera.
