MDK is a 1997 third-person shooter video game developed by Shiny Entertainment and published by Playmates Interactive Entertainment in North America and Interplay Entertainment in Europe for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and subsequently PlayStation. It was one of the first PC games to require a Pentium or equivalent processor, and did not initially have a GPU requirement. The game soundtrack, composed by Tommy Tallarico, was separately released. The game tells the story of Kurt Hectic and his attempts to rescue Earth from an alien invasion of gigantic strip mining city-vehicles named "Minecrawlers". These ships are not only removing all of earth's natural resources but are also flattening any people and cities that get in their way. The game combined action with a sense of humour, and featured a "sniper mode" that allowed the player to zoom in on enemy targets. A sequel, MDK2, was developed by BioWare and published by Interplay for the Dreamcast and PC in 2000, and later for PlayStation 2 in 2001, and Wii in 2011. A HD version was also released for the PC in 2011. |
There are two components for playing a psx MDK rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the MDK rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play MDK rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
