More Information:

I built this using mugen. The characters are available online.
I customised some characters to provide updated moves, graphics and English (original voice) audio.
I then applied a nice theme and updated the loader.
"Evil Homer" is the boss as he is hardest to beat.

Changelog

version 1.1
- improved on the lovely loader by 01micko
- can now set resolution, filter, difficulty and speed..

Enjoy!

excellent

damn you Scott, you are going to waste all my time. Fantastic

... sfs4.. you know the drill

edit: old ver removed

Thanks again 01micko..

Not working for me in Lucid 525
anyone else try it successfully? (I used the SFS)

Hmm.. Type '/usr/local/mugen/mugen' in the terminal, tell us what it says... Should work in most Pups - I even unsquashed the sfs in Ubuntu at work and played it fine on there.. Had to run it as root though, to get all characters working...

Also, if anyone wants to get rid of the theming, or load up a different 'screenpack' (which makes it appear as a totally different game), then you can type the following in the terminal:

mugen -r big (this will allow for many more characters, but you gotta install them yourself)

or

mugen -r kfm (the kung fu man game)

Also you can edit '/usr/local/mugen/data/system.def' to manually change the number of characters allowed..
Look for 'rows =' and 'cols =' and change the values ...

I've uploaded a 1.1 - with the following updates:

- improved on the lovely loader by 01micko
- can now set resolution, filter, difficulty and speed.. just use 'mugen -conf' in the terminal
- added character Stewie Griffin
- added character Kang
- added more stages
- slight re-alignment of character select boxes
- removed some of the uglier, less relevant stages
- more appropriate character stages
- better difficulty curve, more challenging

My Lucid is heavily customised into Lucid Tmxxine
Anyway this morning I found the Cartoon Fighter in the menu
and it worked OK - Fun

Thanks guys

Just as a note to this, all characters have special moves, super special moves (with nice FX), and combos to learn as well. You can find the readmes for each character in /usr/local/mugen/chars/***/

Also, for any street fighter fans, 'Evil Homer' plays just like 'Evil Ken'...

Working great in Quirky 1.2.
Thanks!

Hey Sc0ttman, would you consider creating pages on the wiki for these games, and adding them to the SoftwareIndex?

Maybe, although anyone is free to do it.

mirrored a .pet file, for all puppies...

Tried this in Saluki, it don't run, no errors in terminal, any idea's?

No idea, it's an old binary, generic linux32 build from the developers at the time, I tested in various Puppies, and even ubuntu, always worked for me.. I have suggestions earlier in the thread about loading mugen up in different ways in the terminal, maybe see how that goes...? Sorry I can't be of more help.

BTW, if anyone is interested in playing this on their modded Xbox (original Xbox, not XBOX360) , then add a message here asking for it, and I will package it up and upload it somewhere...

I used to play this game under Lupu-528, but since when I switched to Slacko-5.3.3 and now 5.4, I wasn't able to launch it (same symptoms - no error messages, no nothing) and eventually gave up on it. Until today.
Perhaps part of the problem is:

# file /usr/local/mugen/mugen
mugen: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, corrupted section header size

in a combination with specific Puppies. Just a guess...
Anyway, since the main 'mugen' binary is UPXed, I thought it's worth to try unUPX it: and it did the job indeed - now it runs in Slacko, so I hope the trick will work also in Saluki and any other Puppies that have this problem.

BTW, I have upx'ed the binary back again and the game still works. I guess it might have been a bug in some older version of UPX..?

Sc0ttman, thanks a lot for the game. &
Greetings!

Great, I have it working in Carolina, using UPX-3.08-i386 from HERE, I'll look at repackaging Cartoon fighter for Carolina so it runs without the need to extract mugen.

I was successful, I'll upload the cartoon_fighter-1.1-lina.sfs to the repo later today.
