some simple code to read bytes from file:

FILE* in = fopen(filename, "rb");
char somebyte;
fseek(in, 0x10000, SEEK_SET);
fscanf("%c", &somebyte);

That should get you the byte at offset 0x10000... I'm pretty sure.

well, most of this board, or the people who come in here program in VB...there are few C/C++ programmers and even less Java programmers (I believe I'm the only one here on the board who prefers Java over C/C++ and VB

Not sure if it works with the ROM but it works with the official cart and action replay.

...but it's not coming out for the GameCube. Then again no Midway support isn't really a big loss.

As far as I can tell, their names are Kenshi, Limel, Ashrah, and Motaru(?). I must also mention that there are at LEAST 12 differenct characters.

Kay. Gotta go, bye!

Kenshi first appeared in Deadly Alliance, but those other characters you mentioned are new. Oh, and it's "Hotaru." Also, the current character select screen looks something like this. Hard to tell who's who from the silhouettes, but it looks like Motaro (he was the centaur, right?) might be back, and one of the robots may be back, as well.

They're also bringing back a few arenas for the battle segments in Chess Kombat. Namely, the Courtyard (MK1), the Portal (MK2 - the level with the reddish, swirly background and floating, purple hoods), the Dead Pool (MK2 - one section of the level will show the level as it was in MK2, complete with character sprites on the bridge), and an area where the MK3 champion/tournament "ladders" appear.

Supposedly, there will be multiple fatalities per character, as well.

Let's just say that October can't come quickly enough.

Ooh, and, according to that article, Kabal will be back, too. I find this odd, however, because...er...well, my reasoning might be a spoiler, so I'll make the text the same color as the background.

Mavado, one of the DA characters, supposedly killed Kabal and took his hookswords. Major plot hole. Either that, or the hookswords Mavado had weren't actually Kabal's, and he was just saying they were.

That's done. Anyway, the suicide trick sounds pretty interesting. If naughty words didn't flow free in the previous games when someone was trying to do a fatality, they are now. This is kind of like a trick in Killer Instinct that I heard about - when someone's on their way to finish you off, you can actually come back to beat the tar out of 'em by mashing the buttons like a madman. Of course, if you use that chance up, you're finished. Well, it's more like the opposite, but...you get the idea.

This part about Konquest mode using the console's internal clock sounds pretty cool, too, although that could be something of an annoyance (ever play Seaman for the Dreamcast?). Still, that's why we can go into the system settings and change the time. :wink:

One area that we saw had hot fire and coals as the floor. An opponent got tossed in there and quickly crawled on his hands and knees to get out. Right before he was about to exit his burning crawling spree, a large metal brick came down a grinded him into pulp.

---

I'll expand on this a bit:

-One deathtrap involes a trio of vertical, spiked grinders. We all know Midway and spiked grinders, so this needs no explanation.

-I recall seeing a shot of an area where there are two spiked walls across from each other. When you knock the person into the area, the walls slam together. Shish kebab!

What I think is the best part is how some of the old characters are back...like Baraka and Noob Saibot....Mileena, didnt say any other characters, but I also saw scorpion, sub-zero, Ermac, and someone else on the clip I saw...I also like how it has online capabilities, and the konquest adventure looks amazing..
