`IkemenGO` is a fighting game engine and the spiritual successor to the dead projects `Ikemen` and `M.U.G.E.N`. It strives to be compatible with games made for those engines.

### Information
2024-01-06 08:25:02 +00:00
2024-03-08 09:12:51 +00:00
- The games need to be uncompressed to a folder.
- Games made for `IkemenGO` have a higher success rate than those made for `M.U.G.E.N`.
- Each game is its own self-contained game, and no overarching settings exist.
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
- Depending on the age of the game you want to play it could require less or more tinkering.
2024-03-08 09:12:51 +00:00
- `M.U.G.E.N` have existed since the 90s and some incredibly old games might not run at all without heavy tinkering.

## IkemanGO Games
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
This How-to is for games that are made with IkemanGO
- Extract the game if it is compressed into a new folder under `roms/mugen/`.
- Rename the folder so it is called `<gamename>.mugen` in the end of it.
- Open the game folder and see if the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file is there in the root of the folder.
- If the file is there rename it to `<gamename>.mugen`.
- Note that BOTH the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file and the game folder are now called the same `<gamename>.mugen`.
The game should now be detected and runnable from RetroDECK.

### Example on renaming:
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
If the game is called Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO rename the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file & the games folder to `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen`
2024-03-08 09:17:40 +00:00
```
/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen
```
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
The `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen` file exists within the `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen` folder.
2024-01-06 08:25:02 +00:00
2024-03-08 12:42:58 +00:00
### Ikemen_GO_Linux is missing:
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
If the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` is missing in the games folder you can download it from the [IkemanGO Github](https://github.com/ikemen-engine/Ikemen-GO) under releases called
`Ikemen_GO-<latestversion>-linux.zip`.
2024-01-06 08:25:02 +00:00
2024-03-08 09:08:01 +00:00
Open up the `.zip` file and extract ONLY the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file into the game directory and rename it as stated above.
