Cool, thanks for your effort, I cant test it, but I think I talk for everyone when I say its always good to see development happening like this.

Hope you dont mind if we host it on the mugen for download section ( when val manages to put up in the air again) ?

Is there a possibility you'd do this with WinmugenPlus as well?
Or is this the plus version already?

Details:
This is MacMugen for the osx environment. After much work i finally got mugen working for the mac community.

here is the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ium2itgdnem - DMG tested on macbook early 2007 with tiger and macbook unibody early 2009 with leopard

Known issues:
-you'll start to get lag at first, but after awhile it should run perfectly

Notes:
-to install characters, stages, etc.. right click the application and open package contents then navigate here: contents/SharedSupport/cxchromium/support/Chromium/drive_c/Program Files/mwc4h/Winmugen/, and do what you got to do on installing characters, stages, etc..
-to change the language go to options and click on english were the language is

The Story:
so it was mid january i think when i started working on this, when i made a topic a few months ago i was trying to see what the problem was when mugen would not pop up and would crash all of a sudden. after much frustration i finally found the solution, "what if i were to use a launcher so i can launch mugen?" and after that i found Mugen windows configurator which would launch mugen and would also configure many other things involving mugen. After that, i tested it and there was still crash problems. the solution to this was just adding DX9 drivers within the wrapper and now i made a full, working port for the mac community.

Special Thanks:
-The entire Macportingteam for the inspiration and there help
-Elecbyte
-Codeweavers, for there tremendous efforts in bringing windows software compatibility to us mac users
-Mugenguild
-and anybody else i forgot

Disclaimer:
all software, tools, sprites, etc.. that helped me throughout the production of this port belongs to there respectful owners. all i did was just program it.

Enjoy the release

I was searching around youtube and see what other ppl were doing to getting winmugen on Mac. Seems they were using other products such as CrossOver, from what I can tell.

So is this like a more, easier method to play Mugen on a Mac? I'm NOT a Mac user, but I'm curious as to how this works in compared to the other things that were available.

Nice work though. I bet mac users will be happy about this.

I can host it on my actual site going up tonight.

Hello Skull Strider it's me again i got it working (had to download 2.2.1 X11 (Xquarts) ) thanks for this but i need to ask something why is it in spanish i can't understand it at all and it asks me for a file in the beginning and im like wtf what file!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? well thanks for this anyways

If you are playing from the DMG that might be the problem.

i don't have my installation disk, as anyone had success, running it without it

is there a specific icon or folder im spose to be activating to try to start, the ken logo i guess?

So as soon as I saw this, I got very excited!  While I can't create stuff on the mac side of things, when I switch from PC to Mac on my partitioned drive, I can just add completed things and play on my mac.  So after downloading little Ken, here's what I got:

ogg sound files seem jumpy.  I use them for my select screen, intro and main screen.  They sound fine in other mac and pc applications that I use and work fine in my PC version of Winmugen.

Can't get the controllers to work.  Jesuszilla asked about this and you gave him a link, but the page doesn't open for me.  Honestly, I can't even get my keyboard to work (I'm using a Macbook, it's about 2 years old).

I tried using the arena since I don't need to use any controller there.  The game runs alright on the default 320x240 at 8 bit color with no double res.  Still skips frames here and there.  Once I bump up the vid size, the game becomes unmanageably slow.  Not sure if this is the lag you spoke of.  Could be my vid card.

It's a nice engine to have.  I'll probably use it for watch mode and tournaments when I'm doing Mac stuff.  Thanks for the release.

How do you run in Hardware mode?

I only have 2 problems:

1: keyboard controls- it doesn't seem to work. and as I read earlier, that only solves the joystick problem.

2: adding characters, stages, etc.- how do I put all that in? when I try using the controls "add character" and select a file from mac, it will not read it. so how do I put the files in the mugen folder when I cant even access it from the mac options?

This may be simple questions to answer, but I am not knowledgeable on macs. I just have to deal with this mac for now...

any help will be appreciated, thank you.

since no one got back to you i hope you already found your answer but uh i beleive the first post tells you how... If not ill try explaining it i just cant explain right now since im not on my mac

ya, already figured that out. but for every different screen pack I put in, more problems occur. in the end, it is just not worth it playing it on the mac. I just find problems after problems and when I fix one, another starts. just keep it windows.

no problem man, you did good trying this out. the fact that you can get MUGEN running on a mac is great. remember that the second try is always better. Trial and error, the key to success. The main problem I find from the start is the mugen configuration system. it makes installing character and stages easy, but sometimes with a new screen pack, you get character errors and you can't access it because of the mugen configuration, same goes for the stages. I could never get two characters to fight because of the errors that I can't fix. And when I tried the new screen pack (neowave), it would only read the "WIN MUGEN" file, no matter how you change it. Once again, the problem is the configuration that was put there. sometimes, the long way to install a character or a stage is the secure way to insure that you are correct with what you put. because not knowing what you did wrong is just aggravating. my suggestion is maybe the mugen configurator thingy you put in is messed up, or maybe it should not even be there. because for all I know, maybe it is the source of all the problems. check with the errors one at a time, starting with the mugen configuration tool. as for the rest, well, thats out of my knowledge. but this is all I can tell you.

well good luck, and I hope this helps.

GAH!!! Someone fix the link PLEASE!?

I could've sworn Macmugen was on the new Mugen Wiki. I'm not sure if it's still there.

Bleh. I was so excited for this and it doesnt even work. ):
