How to Change the Display on 'MUGEN'

In "MUGEN," the customizable fighting game engine, adjusting the display resolution is important on a widescreen monitor because the game uses a standard 4:3 resolution by default. You may also need to change the resolution if the pixels are too big when you enter full screen mode. "MUGEN" lacks an in-game option to customize the screen resolution, so you must exit the game and edit the mugen.cfg file to enter the width and height of the display.

Instructions

  Go to the folder where your "MUGEN" game executable is found. Head to the "data" folder from there.
