In private tester circles, a version of Version 2002.04.14 Beta compiled for use with Windows was released, which was leaked to the public around 2003, initially by a Brazilian group called Elecbyte1 (their version was given a new version number, '2003.06.14b') and later by Rouhei in June 2004. The last build, Version 2002.04.14 Beta, was the final release of M.U.G.E.N before Elecbyte entered a long hiatus.

Newer DOS versions (2000.06.27 and later) are incompatible with older characters made for the older versions (2000.01.01 and earlier) due to changes in syntax and parser.įollowing the DOS M.U.G.E.N builds are a trio of builds compiled for use on Linux, referred to as 'LinMUGEN'. These versions also had a notably different parser most versions of M.U.G.E.N are incompatible with characters created for these versions, including Elecbyte's own Kung Fu Man. The last known version of DOS M.U.G.E.N was 2001.04.14.Īlmost all versions of M.U.G.E.N from this point were designed exclusively for MS-DOS, and as a result cannot be ran on modern operating systems without the use of emulation or a virtual machine. This started with the very first known public build, 9X.07.27, and continued up until 9X.10.19, after which the scheme switched to 'yyyy.mm.dd'. The scheme started as '9X.mm.dd', with 9X standing for the 1990s, and the other four digits representing a month and day respectively.

The earliest releases of M.U.G.E.N, often referred to collectively as 'DOS M.U.G.E.N', followed a naming scheme that represented the time that particular version was compiled and released. 3.1.2 Multiple Resolutions and Auto Scaling.
