To me, MUGEN 1.0 aaaaaaall theeeeeeeeeee waaaaaaaaaaay
My MUGEN reason is that, MUGEN 1.0 is the most stable MUGEN Engine ever!
I have retired from the old winmugen many years ago, because it has been crashing on me too many times....
MUGEN 1.1..........while it has more new features but some MUGEN stuff do not work quite good on that....especially my own MUGEN works........

Oh I forgot to mention that, I use MUGEN 1.1 for MUGEN 1.1 exclusive MUGEN stuff, so I have my own MUGEN 1.1 specific MUGEN compilation, just that I am not putting any MUGEN 1.0/winmugen stuff in my MUGEN 1.1....

Something GOOD about MUGEN 1.1 may not be denied at all; which is the 16-million-color image support.
I really wish MUGEN 1.0 has this 16-million-color image support too........

I just made a MUGEN screen shots comparison here :

256-color image support in MUGEN 1.0 :


256-color image support in MUGEN 1.1 :


* you can see 256-color images in both MUGEN 1.0/1.1 don't have much difference........

16-million-color image support in MUGEN 1.0 :


16-million-color image support in MUGEN 1.1 :


* you can see 16-million-color images in both MUGEN 1.0/1.1 do have some difference........

So, for MUGEN making that uses 16-million-color images, it may be good to provide both the MUGEN 1.0&1.1 SFF versions, and I began to provide two (2) MUGEN *.sff files since my recent "arcade city room" and "kof xiv guardian dogs temple" MUGEN stages......well probably my MUGEN WIP KOF XIV Luong is going to have two (2) MUGEN *.sff files too (1 256-color & 1 16-million-color)....

I like Mugen 1.0, it is way better. So, my first time it was I created Marvel VS SNK 1, Brawl of Super Heroes called Marvel VS SNK: Brawl of Super Heroes.

My thoughts on this are that Mugen 1.0 is the go-to version for novice players/creators to Mugen because it's the most stable version of all the main 3 mugen versions.

Not that the Mugen 1.1 is totally unstable, it's just a beta version, i'm currently using it because of things this version offers that mugen 1.0 does not, and i had little to no problems with it so far.

I personally don't know why is winmugen still a choice because i don't know it well, all i remember is that A.I is handled through a variable that was replaced by AILevel that was introduced in Mugen 1.0 so that A.I could be scaled by the dificulty level of mugen in the options, but it was not really replaced, because some/most creators want characters to be compatible with older mugen versions so they still use the old A.I method for characters.

Well, one (1) reason that there are still many using the WinMUGEN is that, not all people's computers are high-end (especially about the video cards) that can run MUGEN 1.0/1.1 freely...............

The most difficult situation of Mugen 1.1 is if your computer is reformatted due to hard disk crash, your newly fresh installed window will lose many important drivers when you load mugen 1.1, you get a blank white screen all the time like this: you can only hear the cursor sound when you press up or down or the intro or background music if you have add it in your Mugen main and intro screen, but all the screen are all white Currently, my computer has this issue which I can't run Mugen 1.1 because I have reformatted my computer due to hard disk crush

tehdevil I am curious about your computer specs............do you mind letting me know please?

My computer specs is like this :

Code:

Motherboard:  ASUS P8B75-M

Processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz  3.40GHz

Video Card:  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

And all WinMUGEN/MUGEN1.0/MUGEN1.1 can run on my computer without any problem (except for the random WinMUGEN crashes).   Lucky me

By the way, my computer is all I have for my total entertainment needs, I do not have TV set/radio, and I have spent most of my $$$ on my last computer hardware upgrade to that specs above, and my cell phone is a Nokia old model like this :


Good thing I am not into any mobile games/apps............
