Additionally, Super Moves can be placed into combos, greatly increasing their damage and potency as well as being unbreakable. Unlike the first game, players can now open up combos with new and much less risky moves than before (most notable a close Fierce punch or close Fierce kick). By pressing a certain strength button after an opener move, a player will launch an auto-double and initiate the combo system of the game. The combo system has its roots in the original Killer Instinct. After the bar reaches a certain point, the player can use a multi-hit Super Move which is usually an extended version of a normal special move. This super bar fills as a fighter takes damage or executes an attack that is blocked by the opponent. Normal special moves no longer are judged on priority, but instead follow a three tiered ' rock, paper, scissors' system, in which a certain special move will always break another certain special move (similar to the three tiered system in Soulcalibur).Īdditionally, a Super bar has been added to the game (similar to Street Fighter Alpha or The King of Fighters series). Additionally, characters can be knocked down much easier with normal moves than in the first game, ending the possibility of opening with a 'glitch' combo and also weakening the effectiveness of normal moves. Throws have been added into the game to deal with blocking characters (as opposed to the top attack in Killer Instinct). However, normal moves have lost a lot of their priority and range, as well as gaining extra recovery time. The matches, as with Killer Instinct, revolve around a three strength system (Quick, Medium and Fierce). As with the original Killer Instinct, when a character's original life bar is fully depleted, he or she will fall to the ground, and immediately begin on his or her second lifebar.Īs with the first game, Killer Instinct 2 relies on an automatic combo subsystem in its matches.

I am on a Dual 2 GHz G5 stock.As with most fighting games and indeed its predecessor, two characters square off with the goal of depleting the opponent's life bar. Suddenly both games show up but if I try to select one and choose Play the window disappears for a second and then reappears. So I tried moving these folders into the ROMs folder and relaunching MacMAME. Somewhere along the way kinst.dif and kinst2.dif files showed up in the "Hard Disk Images" folder. I launch MacMAME with these in the appropriate folders and still no games show up in the MacMAME window. I use the util to verify them and am told that

#KILLER INSTINCT 2 MAME UPDATE#
I also found that I may need to use the chdman command line util to update them. I found that I was supposed to create a folder in the "Hard Disk Images" called kinst and kinst2, and put the kinst.chd and kinst2.chd files in them.

So, I figured it was time to RTFM, I read through all of the documentation in the documentation folder, have searched this forum, and read on a couple of other web sites. Then the MacMAME window opened and no games were listed. MacMame launched and was unresponsive (swirling beach ball) for about 30 seconds and then brought up a progress bar that said ROMs remaining to load (I think it started at 11), and proceeded to load with a bunch of different file names. When I downloaded MacMAME I dragged the chd file for KI onto the MacMAME icon. I'm not a regular MAME user but attempted to try playing Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2.
