No idea, it's an old binary, generic linux32 build from the developers at the time, I tested in various Puppies, and even ubuntu, always worked for me.. I have suggestions earlier in the thread about loading mugen up in different ways in the terminal, maybe see how that goes...? Sorry I can't be of more help.

BTW, if anyone is interested in playing this on their modded Xbox (original Xbox, not XBOX360) , then add a message here asking for it, and I will package it up and upload it somewhere...

I used to play this game under Lupu-528, but since when I switched to Slacko-5.3.3 and now 5.4, I wasn't able to launch it (same symptoms - no error messages, no nothing) and eventually gave up on it. Until today.
Perhaps part of the problem is:

# file /usr/local/mugen/mugen
mugen: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, corrupted section header size

in a combination with specific Puppies. Just a guess...
Anyway, since the main 'mugen' binary is UPXed, I thought it's worth to try unUPX it: and it did the job indeed - now it runs in Slacko, so I hope the trick will work also in Saluki and any other Puppies that have this problem.

BTW, I have upx'ed the binary back again and the game still works. I guess it might have been a bug in some older version of UPX..?

Sc0ttman, thanks a lot for the game. &
Greetings!

Great, I have it working in Carolina, using UPX-3.08-i386 from HERE, I'll look at repackaging Cartoon fighter for Carolina so it runs without the need to extract mugen.

I was successful, I'll upload the cartoon_fighter-1.1-lina.sfs to the repo later today.
