Just getting round to checking out M.U.G.E.N. LAst time I looked I couldn't find a simple download so got bored looking and gave up on it. Just found a great site to get started. It has downloads for M.U.G.E.N. itself as well as DC and Marvel characters and backgrounds for download.

You can add limitless characters that have been ported by people that are available to download. All sorts of strange combinations can be had (Homer vs Batman) but it does kinda make sense to keep it a bit more simple than say...







When I've got this installed and working i'll post some more info on what you can do/need to do and where to get more characters.

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

I haven't tried yet but I found a link to this file which you apparently need for XP:

Once I've had a fuck about with it I'll get back and post all the shit I worked out. Check back next week if you have any questions.

My cousin has this program....brought his computer tower over to my house.

Shit's crazy man. You can be anyone you can think of in that game. Homer vs. Peter Griffin for example, or Ultra Man vs. the Tesuo from Akira.

Yeah i'll try to get a stable balanced setup going and then I'll upload all the files I have and instructions in this thread. Watch this space.

I've been looking for a decent Mugen download site for fuckin ages, cheers man. I just gotta find Naruto and Ichigo now. How do I install new chars?

[KERZO]

haha I'll school ya up doods. ive been coding mugen for about three years, surprised style has'nt picked up on this.

its pretty simple. you get a code file which runs the emulator like a snes or megadrive one. you change and add code for backrounds, characters, moves, soundtracks and so on.

You should start with a basic EVE MUGEN emulator. EVE just stands for everyone Vs everyone.its got a cool menu and character selection screen -

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

I'm gonna look to get a shit load of MArvel and DC characters, plus some manga ones (Naruto, Ichigo etc) and some Street Fighter and SNK ones, then when I've got a nice list, I'll drop a link to the lot.

[Ritter]

Is this Vista compatible?

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

I've heard that it runs on Vista but runs a little bit slower than XP.

As for consoles, I only know of it working on the original Xbox, I haven't heard anything about PS3 or 360.
