Open up Mugen.cfg..
Go to the Video Win line...
And do the following changes for a BIGGER screen not full..

;-------------------------------------------------------
[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 320x240
Width  = 320
Height = 240

;This is the color depth at which to run MUGEN. You should set it to
;16 bit color unless your video card has problems with it.
;16-fastest, 24,32-slower, 8-slowest/worst
Depth = 16

;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 = 0

;Set this parameter to use a resolution-doubling filter. You will
;need a fast machine to use these filters. You will need to increase
;the screen resolution to at least 640x480 for these modes.
;0 - off
;1 - diagonal edge detection
;2 - bilinear filtering
;3 - horizontal scanlines
DoubleRes = 0

;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 = windowed




This is what your current settings are..
Now change it to this..

Width  = 640
Height = 480

DoubleRes = 4

;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

DXmode = windowed




And now if you want FULLSCREEN..

Where it says DXmode = windowed..
Change it to eithER..

DXmode = Software

OR

DXmode = Hardware

when i try open the mugen.cfg its says windows cannot open the file what should i do now?

[Azasuke Kaijin]

when i try open the mugen.cfg its says windows cannot open the file what should i do now?

Open it with Notepad

[aLuCaRd_X]

when i try open the mugen.cfg its says windows cannot open the file what should i do now?

Right click -> Open with -> Notepad

Then look for "Fullscreen = 0" and change it to "Fullscreen = 1", now when you are using Mugen you can press alt + enter and Mugen will go fullscreen.

i can't get fullscreen to work, its come up with an error saying cannot change video mode  whats wrong?

[Azasuke Kaijin]

I'm taking a guess the error message says somehting like 640x480x16 bits?

[ZaNzA]

Try Safe like this..

DXmode = Safe

[spiritarchangel]

I'm taking a guess the error message says somehting like 640x480x16 bits?

yeah it is why does it do that?

[Azasuke Kaijin]

It could be because either your computer isn't set to 32 bits or the Color Depth isn't right?:
;This is the color depth at which to run MUGEN. You should set it to
;16 bit color unless your video card has problems with it.
;16-fastest, 24,32-slower, 8-slowest/worst
Depth = 16

I've tried changing that, but fullscreen works when the resolution is set to 320x240 but wont work at any other resolution is this normal ???

[Azasuke Kaijin]

Stretch = 1

And about the bits...I think your Color Quality has to be 32 bits instead of 16
If you have a Windows, to get there, right-click on your Desktop area, not on an icon, and select Properties on the menu that come sup. Then on the window that pops up, go to the Settings Tab and click the drop-down arrow under an area called "Color Quality". Change it to 32. Apply, OK. Try it

its already on stretch=1, and my computer is always set to 32 bit colour and so i have no idea why is still doesnt work but if it works fulscreen on 320x240 then its fine for me then because it still goes fullscreen with no problem on that resolution
