MAME MK2 And MK3 Audits?

Okay, I was messing around with Mame and played around with the Audits... I noticed the following audits in MK2 and MK3:


Mortal Kombat 2 (All Versions as far as I know):

- Watchdogs
- Kano Transformations

Mortal Kombat 3 (All versions as far as I know):

- Watchdogs
- Johnny Cage Transformations


What do these mean? Anyone have a clue?
 
Watchdogs are bug catchers I believe, some kind of auditing trick. In all those same arcade games built on the same hardware.

The "transformations" were to mess with people like you looking around the audits.
 
just like ermacs in MK1

I got 1 Ermac so far in the audits because on one occasion I was Kang, Computer was Sub, and when it said round 1 fight Kang went to his winning pose and Sub was dizzy for a fatalaty and it said DRAW....That was an Ermac

Also can someone further this:

Now I fought against Reptile and activated the select PL1 cheat code to see what his number is on the hex. His number is 05 which is Scorpion.
Because Scorpion is in his name bar. Clever trick Ed Boon. Now the question is...how do you access his pallette and have Scorpion
in his name bar...???

That's another language for me. I don't even wanna try to understand.
 
A followup question I guess. In Mame, is there a way to either eliminate certain layers for sprite ripping, or is there a way to choose characters like Shang Tsung or Goro.. like a gameshark I guess..

Like. I know you use HEX.. if that is the case, wouldn't you be able to basiclly make a new character.. or just rename them?
 
Yeah his other language is called pathological lying. You would get owned in MK2, plain and simple Juergen. You clearly don't know a thing about competition.
 
hmmm ewa, if you don't know how to play MK2 then I guess I'll just have to beat you in UMK3 then

and if you got MK4 (sucky game) i'll beat you too.
 
If what Jion_Wansu says is true, then it will be the first time we've ever documented the Ermacs in Mortal Kombat. I've seen this happen on YouTube before (of course I can't find the video for my life now), but if there's a way to induce this bug it could finally confirm exactly what an Error Macro really was.

If I recall correctly, the glitch usually occurs on the second round. Like Jion said, one of the fighters will instantly go into their win pose while the other stands dizzy at the start of round 2 which is immediately declared a draw. Round 3 then begins. There's a similar draw glitch that can reset the game which I'm investigating now.
