MUGEN 1.0

[Ref Cortez]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME. WHAT'S NEW ABOUT IT? AND IS IT WORTH DOWNLOADING? I HEAR OLD CHARS. WON'T WORK, AND I LOVE HAVING THOUSANDS OF CHARS. AT MY DISPOSAL.

It has quite a few updates to the engine, some of the more noticeable ones:

• Hi-resolution/Hi-Definition Title, Options, Select, Versus, and Victory screens
• The ability to add Victory quotes to each character when an opponent is defeated
• The ability to have more than 12 palettes per character
• Sound fixes for stage music and such
• Various other bug fixes to make it more stable

There are certain characters that don't work with it, which are usually older or characters whose coding would cause problems with Winmugen anyway.  Personally, I've only had one character not work with 1.0, and that was Metal Man by laspacho, but that was easily fixed with a .cns tweak.

Also most low-res screenpacks made for Winmugen will work in
MUGEN 1.0 with no problems. They'll also be displayed in hires.

All of my characters in MUGEN 1.0 work fine. All 40 characters in my roster have no problems.

Make the switch to MUGEN 1.0. It's better than Winmugen.

This seems be more stable than Winmugen Plus, although I can't get work certains chars like Mr Fantastic and Banshee.

so, before i switch. . . can i use my old screen pack? because i can't see myself copy and pasting all of my chars. and where do i find 1.0 chars?

i just wanted to ask on the matter of stages for mugen 1.0 can i still use my low rez ones ? im kinda sitting on the fence on this cuz i would hate to have to dump most of my stuff, even if the end justify the means in terms of losing some characters and stages for a more stable engine. i'm still kinda on the fence about it and hope someone can clear that up for me . thanks!!   

[D.Magician(Ky)]

yes u can use both low and hi-res stages.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

yeah. ithat why i think i am rollin with 1.0 for the screenpack for the project i am doing. i want a great screenpack and i love how you can really have of those features in 1.0 . plus i even noticed when i switched over a few characters from my winmugen their fx looked better too. i dont know if 1.0 has anything to really do with that but if does i am sold. ( even tho its free )
