Where in mugen do you ever even see the p3 and p4 character select cursors?  Or do you? 

I know it sounds like a lazy question, but as far as I can tell I've been through every part of every mode and have never seen them.  I just want to make sure I'm missing them somewhere before I don't bother including them in a project I'm working on.

I don't think there are p3 and p4 cursors. If you check the original/default screenpack sffs, you'll see all the assets you need to provide/replace.

Ok. 

There are variables for them in the system.def file (sprite, offset etc) which is why I asked.
Good, that saves me about 6 more hours of work.

Thanks, for what's this like the 4th time?
Your help is much appreciated.

No problem lol. I loom around the dev help sections answering what I can. XD. Like, you said there are constants you can set, but usually, they're the same as p1 and p2. So, it's completely up to you if you want to change those sprites.

Yea it's weird there are constants that do nothing, and also places where a constant could easily do something but does not exist. 
For example in survival, co-op survival, and team survival, there's no constants to set the menu title or offset or anything else. 
But there are player 3 and 4 cursor constants.  I dunno it's just a matter of figuring out how to work with what's there I guess.

Like I made sprites for the team menu background and saved them as fonts.  Then I use the team mode title to call up the background, which works fine till you go into survival mode and there's no effing background on the menu, because there are no constant to make a title happen which should call up the bg sprite.

The creative workaround there is going to be setting the menu background sprite to the letter "g" so when it says "single, simul, turns" automatically on every menu, I can work with it that way.  I think anyway.  smh  so many weird things like that.

Welcome to the world of mugen. I used to really rage (and probably still do) over things like that. Even in the most stable-seeming environments, there are oddities to be aware of. :\
