You could also search around for 'complete games' or MUGEN 'packs',
and just copy over all the characters and stages that you want.

NOTE: This is the latest version available on Linux.

The resolution is very low - making the window very small,
but I've seen elsewhere that this can be adjusted (not sure how, yet)

There's a Linux port of MUGEN? Huh. I didn't know that. Was half-expecting this to be a post about how to get the Windows version working with Wine.

I'll have to go dig up all my Japanese MUGEN character links, now...

Yep, although it's not the latest version - WinMUGEN is much more updated

Although this PET file is the latest version available on Linux.

[Makoto]

Is the Linux version parallel with the equivalent Windows version? I wouldn't know how significant the updates are, though.

The linux version is a LOT older than the Windows version, which has been kept alive by a comminuty of dedicated fans, who have hacked it up to include more hi-res graphics and stages..

[Makoto]

Hmm... okay, it's not going to be completely compatible with all the stages and characters I might find, out there? Or maybe the Windows port just scales everything better, I don't know.

I know I see a new Windows version once in a while from Elecbyte - or at least I think I did, anyway.

i think not... i tested a few and it crashed a few times.. I wanna make an sfs addon with a few characters and stages though...

at some point...

[Makoto]

...which means a lot of testing.

Nobody's willing to pick up development for the Linux port, I take it?

Yes, lots of testing is required..
And no, onone is developing hte linux version anymore..

As I said earilier, I'll try and make an SFS addon with a few characters and stages..

Maybe we could make a Street Fighter sfs addons, a Mortal Kombat sfs and so on...

For now, we have this wrapper script from 01micko:

Code: Select all

Run 'mugen -conf' in the terminal to change resolutions!

[Makoto]

Nah - the point of MUGEN is to have them all mashed into one ridiculous mess of a fighter.

Still, I'd wonder why no one seems willing to work on or patch the Linux version as they are the Windows version.

haha.. Agreed.. I'm currently working on my own "mess of a fighter"

Are we thinking about Superpup vs. Bill Gates?

I already have this one, but I think this is the older version of mugen for linux, there's a problem in this version, the AI doesn't work for this version.

some characters and stages are not compatible in this version.

I've tested a number of characters, and found about 20 good quality characters that work.. Even the AI..
But I do get crashes sometimes on the VS screen...

Is this related to the issue you are talking about?

And can you make a pet of your latest version?
If you can, please post the updated PET here!!

Mine is the latest i could find anywhere!

[kandkyo]

I'll try to download your mugen version maybe tomorrow, but I'm using the old version.

[sc0ttman]

Yeah we're using the same version, it's got the same date on the readme file anyway..

01micko has created a nice little wrapper script that can change the resolutions for you..

save 01mickos code as a scipt, put it in /usr/bin, then just type 'mugen -conf' in the terminal..
