mugen CRASHES everytime!

[onslaught1]

i cant get threw the game, after maybe 3 or 4 matches it crashes.  i have no screenpack or special lifebars im using the default mugen screenpack, i have marvel n capcom chars about 30 all together. 

why is this happening?  what are some common issues?

Perhaps you dont have enough ram for all your characters.
Perhaps its a stage or character you come to that causes it, or a peice of music..
Test each one in VS mode untill you find which one, if any of them is causing it.
Otherwize its probably your ram.

If I remember right a common cause of crashes is the default mp3 plugin.  Is that what you're using?  I think switching to a different one (in_mp3PRO.dll, maybe?) was one solution.  That's if you're using WinMugen.

Nowadays I think the best thing would be to switch to Mugen 1.0 (again, I'm assuming you're using WinMugen).  It's a lot more stable and the mp3 problems and other random crashes are a thing of the past.
