Their official website has been offline since December 27, 2014. Who are Elecbyte?Įlecbyte, the original developers vanished from the community shortly following the release of M.U.G.E.N 1.1b1 in 2013. The most recent public release of the engine is M.U.G.E.N 1.1 beta 1, released August 7th 2013. What is M.U.G.E.N?įor those unfamiliar with M.U.G.E.N, it is is a freeware, 32bit 2D fighting game engine built for Microsoft Windows using Visual Studio Express and SDL. Here is a brief background of MUGEN, the status of our community and why we are trying to do what we are doing. If however you are still interested and this sounds like something that is possible, please continue reading. If what we are requesting here already sounds preposterous, please stop reading and I apologize for wasting your time. We want to release this to the public as an unofficial 64bit freeware version for the M.U.G.E.N community.I am foremost a graphic designer/content creator hence have very limited understanding of SDL, C++ and OpenGL, so please pardon my ignorance-I will do my best to explain what we are looking for.ġ) We want to confirm whether or not it is possible to take the 32bit MUGEN 1.1b Game Engine, and convert it to a Windows 64bit version, to allow uncapped access to more than 4GB of system memory and/or GPU resources when running on a 64Bit Windows OS.Ģ)If this can be done, we want to commission this task to any developer/s that are able to do so. I represent 3 sub-communities of the M.U.G.E.N 2D Freeware fighting game engine community (links in signature). I am writing here today in regards to M.U.G.E.N - the 32bit 2D game engine built for Microsoft Windows using Visual Studio Express and SDL. Greetings SDL community and game developers
