That was my fault as I included the default values as well (issue in my converter application). Try it again and let me know if it works for you.

The only flaw is that when you finish the game with the secret characters, the game freezes. I would like to know if this problem could not be fixed by making the game skip the ending of the secret characters and go directly to the game's credits screen with the cast of characters, etc., so the transition feels more natural and the game don't cut off so abruptly. I know you must be busy with your own things and making codes for games is a complex and demanding task, but if, at some point, you plan to update the cheat, maybe my idea will be useful to you.

While that is a good idea, there are larger underlying issues affecting Jade and possibly others (I haven't worked on that cheat since 2014) that are also causing the game to crash. I've abandoned any further maintenance on that cheat since most of it was included (and improved upon) in the MK2+ hack released some time ago. If you wish to play as those characters in their completed forms with no crashes, I suggest playing MK2+.
