These are my edits that convert the original stages from the 4:3 aspect ratio, to a 16:9, wide-screen aspect, for full display with wide screen packs and/or wide-screen monitors. Some additional changes and edits might have also been applied to the stage. See the included 'readme.txt' file for more details.

All of these stage edits are intended for the original Mugen 1.1 engine, as well as for the Ikemen Go engine.

There may be several additional stage variants included in each edit:
  • a stage with the 'zoom' word in the file name is a variant supporting zoom,
  • a stage with the 'cps' word in the file name is a a variant in 224p and aspect-corrected for the CPS arcade pixel size,
  • stages may also have separate variants for different engines: Mugen 1.1 and Ikemen Go.

A preview of all stages.

A showcase of the CPS aspect-correction.

DesertedChateauVS2 by Phantom.of.the.Server

Wide-screen variant only (no zoom).

Additional edits:
- Exchanged the sky/castle background with the sprite from the first Darkstalkers. This means that is is effectively a hybrid stage of Darkstalkers 1 and 2 now.
- Slowed down and tweaked the light and candles animations to make them less flickery.
- Tweaked some of the stage's original parallax inconsistencies, e.g. with the stones standing on the parallaxed floor. These should a lot less jarring now.
- Made some sprite-separations and some sprite tweaks.
- Extended the stage's height a little and added vertical delats.
- Tweaked some other deltas.

Too many people just don't see your work. Too bad, because you're doing a wonderful job here. As an "old one" of MUGEN I even discovered some stages in your work. You deserve more views, more answers. Good job my friend.
