Mugen Problem

[Jedd]

I just downloaded mugen, and when I try to load it, an error comes up with the message....

 

cannot change to 320x240x16

change to 640x480x16?(y/n)

 

and if I choose yes, the screen pauses for a while, then dos closes.

 

if I choose no, it just closes, how do I get MUGEN to work?

[Gryph]

Alright, let's try this.

 

Open up the mugen.cfg file. Scroll down till you see

 

[Video]

;Enter the width and height of the resolution you want to set here.

;The optimal resolution is 320x240, but if your video card has problems

;You may want to try 640x480.

Width = 320

Height = 240

 

Change the width to 640 and the height to 480.

 

Now go to

 

;Choose from "1" for VESA1, "Linear" or "Banked" for VESA2, and "3" for

;VESA3.

;Note: VESA1 is very slow on certain video cards, especially the newer

;ones. "Linear" or "3" is usually the fastest for new cards.

;Default is "Linear".

Vesamode = Linear

 

And make sure it is on Linear or 3. If it still doesn't work, then mess around with the VESA settings.

Ok I did that, but now I cant even get past the initializing keyboard, no error comes up, but it just stops at initializing keyboard, but doesnt close.

Alright, that happened to me too but I forgot what I did exactly to get rid of it. All I can remember is that I downloaded VDMSound and then everything worked fine. VDMSound is a DOS sound emulator that makes all the sound and music sound proper.

I downloaded it, but it still wont get past the itializing keyboard...

[Gryph]

Hmm...I'm not at my home computer so I can't really access that to help you. If someone doesn't help you by day after tomorrow, I should be back home then to do so.

 

But I know I've had that problem before and I fixed it. I assume you have the Win XP patch?

[Jedd]

Yeah I do

[Gryph]

Hmm...I just reinstalled MUGEN and did what I told you and it works fine. I really don't know what's wrong. Perhaps someone else knows how to fix it.

[Jedd]

Maybe there is something with my video driver

 

Radeon 7000/ Radeon VE

 

is this a driver that is compatable with mugen?

No, I can pretty much guaruntee that is not the problem. MUGEN only has a problem with Intel Graphics Chipsets.

[Jedd]

Ok, i got a new message when I chose yes to changed to 640-320, it now told me, that I need a vesa driver

 

Cant changed video mode.

 

Error: YOu need a Vesa Driver to run MUGEN
