This is a hack by KABAL_MK of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It adds 56 immediately playable characters to choose from all from the Mega Drive/Genesis versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3 including the absent Sheeva, MK Trilogy Johnny Cage and male and female Chameleon/Khameleon from the PS1 and N64 ports and also adds 1 button fatalities, new backgrounds, specials, combos, finishing moves, and all missing audio samples.
New in v23 (5125) December 2018:
- Added more arena backgrounds
- Improved computer AI
- Bug Fixes
- Added more specials, combos, finishing moves.
Important:
Because this hack is so huge! Sitting at 10 Megabytes/80 Megabits large and having to use a different mapper, most emulators will refuse to boot the game. (Kega Fusion, Regen and Gens Plus) are not compatible with this ROM hack/patch.
The patch has been personally made by me (Adrian Gauna) for this site and has been fully tested by myself by patching it to the USA version of ”Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3”. I tested it on real hardware using a Mega EverDrive X7 running on a real PAL SEGA Mega Drive model 1 console and there were no errors or issues to report.
A lot of hosted sites and file sharing links of this hack give either an error download message when trying to download or after patching, an actual in-game ”illegal instruction” after finishing a match. These are simply badly uploaded corrupted files, the one on this page isn’t. Just make sure you patch this patch with the USA ROM of ”Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3”.
The patch is in Lunar IPS format.
Checksum fixed.
When booting the game on a flash cart off real hardware, if you have a Mega-CD/Sega-CD attachment make sure you disconnect it from the Mega Drive/Genesis as the game will not work with the CD attachment attached. The reason is because the ROM’s 10 Megabyte mapper needs to read from the bank where the Mega-CD/Sega-CD information is stored.
Fully compatible on PAL 50Hz hardware with region lockout removed, no slow music but the game runs a little slower (which might actually be a good thing).
Compatibility:
The following is a list of emulators that work with the hack:
Computer & Retroarch (all platforms using these cores):
- GenesisPlus-GX
- Picodrive
Other Systems:
- NeoGenesis version 22+ (Xbox).
- PicoDrive version 1.51+ (PSP).
- GenesisPlus-GX version 1.7.4 (Wii) (1.7.5 is incompatible for some reason)
- MD Emu (Android, iOS)
Some older, but compatible emulators can be found here.
Most importantly, it works on a real console using a Mega Everdrive flash cartridge (X7 and Pro) by Krikzz.

If the information you're getting doesn't match this hash above, then you've got a different ROM and may run into errors!
Most of the files you're about to download need to be applied to your game. Here is a list of utilities that allow you to do this:
- Online Patcher: Marc Roblero's online patcher. Works with many different file types.
- Floating IPS: NWell-known patcher for applying IPS and BPS files.
- Delta Patcher: Used to apply xDelta files.
- More Patchers
On most files, you can also press “Patch It”, to apply the patch without downloading the file.
Yeah, the original CRC-32 you need is 7290770d.
Correct! All fixed on my end now. Any problems now is not from me.
Turns out, that CRC-32 that is listed is what it becomes AFTER patching the ROM. I checked it out for myself.
All fixed up now on my end. The correct hash is added BEFORE now not AFTER, I am sorry for the misinformation, not a dick so shouldn’t have anymore trouble. If you do have trouble patching let me know.
No worries, bro. Sorry for the way I acted. Thanks for this awesome hack. Talk about the definitive MK game! 😉
This CRC-32 rom: 8b4a36a4 is impossible to find!
