MK4 for Arcade is way better than MK Gold. From graphics (imagine ZEUS with HLSL in 1997) to gameplay, there is no need to compare them. However, as MK4 Arcade is not yet emulated, I would advise to play the Europe version of MKGold (2.0 with the fixed stuff), as it runs smoother and is slower.

I've read some stuff about NullDC online, but have not tested that unfortunately:

*PS - The newer versions of NullDC have weird crackle when you perform some of the fatalities and/or special moves where there is a lot of blood, however, I remember NullDC gets frozen after 1-2 hours of playing if there is PAD attached in the old versions where the sound was ok. Not sure if they fixed that in the newer releases.

Where I found that version, and whats the best emu? I tried null dc 1.0.4 2010 (last version?) and there is alot of slow downs and some graphic glitches (specially the sektor fire fatality haha) There is another called demul but couldn't start it

Honestly your best bet is just getting a dreamcast and burning the game to a disc because DCEmulation is not very good right now.

MK4, that broken beautiful mess of a game, I've got the PC version on my hdd somewhere, dunno if anyone figured out how to do online play like they did with GGX2.

I am using nullDC 1.0.0 beta 1.6 for all my combo videos. My advice would be to skip the PC version as it is the worst from the home ports.

Nah Gold was never on PC, just the regular version... WAIT a second... CONSPIRACY TIME!!!
MKX is a retelling of MK4's storyline and MK4 Gold was never ported on PC so MKXL on PC WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!
Curse you Ed Boon !!!!!!!!!

Yep, MKG is exclusive for DC. I meant to skip the PC port of MK4, since it is the worst. You can check those combo vids:

and few short clips of mine:

this was for n64 mk4, but still worth a shot:

That is some amazing stuff man. Just one question since we are here talking about combos^^
Does maximum damage not effect those auto combos ? Are they also included in vanilla mk4?

if max damage is turned on, you will get pushed away after 40%+, however, i disabled it to take full 100% damage. using Jax's weapon you can get max damage inf/100% with almost every character tho. they are also included in all versions of mk4 (except gbc) and the sujk infinite is way easier on arcade.

That was cool stuff...I liked more your first link, nice combos for every char and music...I don't know why I never pay atention to this game but for mk4...looks like a good idea from Midway, maybe they can do a little better update but this is not bad...maybe adding and ermac and kabal hehe..JK.. PS. haha that red rain

The European version of MK Gold is superior to the NTSC? In that it runs better/more accurate to arcade speed of MK4?

@Mgo you need bootable bios. try emuparadise.

also, all home ports have horrible graphics (why Eurocom could not port it to pc decently using 3dfx at the time is a mystery to me). however, the n64 is the least ugly to look at...

most probably, because they dont have zeus/zeus 2 architecture anymore... we will have to wait for aaron from mame team to emu it somehow.
