Ok,
1. How do I make my screen bigger? It's really small...
and
2. How do I change lifebars, add minigames, music, etc?
3. Can I modify the number of people fighting in Team mode? Like 3-on-3, or teams of 5 or more? If so, how?

1. In your mugen.cfg (Data folder, open it with Notepad) scroll down adn make sure it is like this:
[Video Win]
 ;Enter the width and height of the resolution you want to set here.
 ;The optimal resolution is 320x240, but if your video card has problems
 ;You may want to try 640x480.
Width  = 640
Height = 480

 ;Set this parameter to 0 to disable screen stretching, and set it to 1 if
 ;you want to scale it up to fit the current resolution.
Stretch = 1

Or if you want Fullscreen:

;DirectX mode
 ;Choose from Hardware, Software, Windowed, Overlay, Safe and None
 ;Hardware and Software run in full-screen. Windowed and Overlay
 ;run in a window. The windowed modes require you to set Depth to
 ;whatever color depth you are using for you desktop. The best results
 ;are when you run in 16-bit color. There is no advantage to running
 ;in 32-bit color. If Hardware, Software and Windowed fail, try Safe.
 ;None uses GDI to draw, so it's very slow. Use None only if
 ;you cannot get anything else to work.
 ;Overlay is not supported by all video cards, but can be faster than
 ;Windowed if it works.
DXmode = Hardware

2. Um...tutorials on YouTube? Too many things you're asking o.O

3. No...I think

Oh boy...hold on
*looks around for tutorials*

For lifebars (My little mini tutorial):

Assuming you want to use the Virtua Fighter 5 Lifebars:

Download the pack of the lifebars you want. For this example, I'll use the Virtua Figher 5 Lifebars. The lifebar should have a fight.def included with it. Check that and make sure each font, etc goes to the proper file.

For example, if your fight.def looks like this:
Quote
[Files]
sff = [glow=red,2,300]data/[/glow]fight.sff
snd = [glow=red,2,300]data/[/glow]fight.snd
font1 = F_name.fnt
font2 = VF5_TIMER.fnt
font3 = KOFXI Combo.fnt
font4 = KOFXI Hit.fnt
font5 = F_name2.fnt
font6 = 15x19.fnt
fightfx.sff = [glow=red,2,300]data/[/glow]fightfx.sff
fightfx.air = [glow=red,2,300]data/[/glow]fightfx.air
common.snd = common.snd

And there is no such thing as a Data folder WITHIN the folder which contains the files needed for the lifebar. Make sure to delete those lines marked in red so it looks like:

[Files]
sff = fight.sff
snd = fight.snd
font1 = F_name.fnt
font2 = VF5_TIMER.fnt
font3 = KOFXI Combo.fnt
font4 = KOFXI Hit.fnt
font5 = F_name2.fnt
font6 = 15x19.fnt
fightfx.sff = fightfx.sff
fightfx.air = fightfx.air
common.snd = common.snd

Next, copy the folder name (make sure the folder isn't in like another useless folder like a clone of itself or something) which, I'm pretty sure, is "VF5LB"

Now go into a file in your data folder named system.def and on the line:
[glow=red,2,300]Fight = mvclife/fight.def [/glow]

(NOTE: The mvclife is just an example, it could be anything in your system.def)
replace the mvclife with VF5LB so it reads
[glow=green,2,300]Fight = VF5LB/fight.def [/glow]

So that way, from the data folder, MUGEN can see that the fight.def for the lifebars, starting from the data folder, to look into the folder VF5LB and in there, should be the fight.def

Also, if it doesn't work or the words are oversized or too small, go onto the MUGEN.cfg and on the line:
DoubleRes = (Any number between 0-4)
change the number to 4.
(NOTE: There are 2 different lines that contain "DoubleRes = " The one you should be looking for is the one under the "Video Linux" section. Or if it isn't marked, the second time you see "DoubleRes = "
It may be different depending on the lifebars. If changing it to 4 doesn't help, try experimenting with the other numbers between 0-3

Maybe I should make myself a little set of tutorials as well ^ ^"

Ok... how do you record on Mugen?
Like if you want to record a battle or one of those bonus games?

Some people use programs like Hypercam and them. Some use SnagIt and others. It's pretty easy...
If your video recorder has a feature called "Region" or something similar to it, use that to record the MUGEN screen. If not well I guess your stuck with windowed. Ah...I can't really explain it. Or I don't really feel like explaining it o.o

I've seen videos with hypercam... I might download it if I can find it.
