[M.U.G.E.N What is it and how do I play it.]

Alright, here it is. If you want to enable Reshade, go into the ZombsReshade subfolder and start "Enable.bat". "Disable.bat" turns it off. It's setup to use my own bezel which is designed for 1920x1080. If you're using something else you'd want to disable the overlay and the aspect ratio passes.

It has a "Loading..." intro when it starts but you can skip it by pressing Esc. Be aware that the first time you start it, it will take a while to load to the title screen because it has a lot of data to cache. It will seem like it's frozen but it's not. It should start quickly on subsequent launches until you restart.

You select characters by moving up and down the character selection screen to different categories and then pressing left or right. Until you press left or right, it'll select a random character if you press a button. Once you've pressed left or right to see characters in a section, you'll need to move back to the starting position (it circles around whether you go left or right; when it starts flipping through characters randomly you're back to the starting position) before moving up or down to a different category.

This may seem a little odd add first but you'll get used to it. The alternative to this is what you see in a lot of M.U.G.E.N. setups - a gigantic grid of characters that's a complete mess with tiny character icons. I much prefer this.

Thank you for uploading it!

I used to be suuuuuuuuper into Mugen, scouring innumerable obscure all-Japanese websites (before automatic page translation was a thing in browsers), various pages that looked like they were from Geocities, and a bunch of message boards for that one obscure character you saw on someone's video but couldn't find anywhere. The hunt for characters/stages and adding/arranging them was as much fun as playing for me. Unfortunately, the Mugen community is one of the most caustic, petulant, and insane groups I've run into on the internet - people that get extremely pissy about anyone hosting "their" character anywhere other than on their personal, highly unorganized site that looks like ass. Sorry guy, but ripping some sprites and adding some basic AI doesn't suddenly make you the creator and owner of Wolverine or Ryu or whatever. "Don't host my characters anywhere otherwise I won't release any to the public in the future." It was amazing to me how much of the scene was full of people that took this utterly childish attitude.

I've still got my Mugen setup, the final tally being about 1100 characters and over 500 stages. I thought I'd lost it a while back but found it on an old hard drive that I hooked up to an enclosure. I backed that thing up to my Google Drive immediately afterwards haha. It's about 12GB

 

can i ask for the file?
