# IkemenGO / M.U.G.E.N - General Guide
|
|

|
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### IkemanGO Links:

|
## Where to put the games
|
|
`IkemenGO` `Ikemen` and `M.U.G.E.N` games should be put under the `retrodeck/roms/mugen/` directory.
|
|
|
|
## What file formats are supported?
|
|
|
|
`.mugen`
|
|
|
|
### Information
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- Depending on the age of the game you want to play it could require less or more tinkering.
|
|
- `M.U.G.E.N` have existed since the 90s and some incredibly old games might not run at all without heavy tinkering.
|
|
|
|
### Example folder structure of a IkemanGO game
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/retrodeck/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/
|
|
~/retrodeck/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/chars/
|
|
~/retrodeck/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/data/
|
|
~/retrodeck/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/external/
|
|
~/retrodeck/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/font/

## IkemanGO Games
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
If the game is called Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO rename the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file & the games folder to `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/roms/mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen/Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen` file exists within the `Ultimate Dank Fighter IkemanGO.mugen` folder.
|
|
|
|
### Ikemen_GO_Linux is missing:
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
Open up the `.zip` file and extract ONLY the `Ikemen_GO_Linux` file into the game directory and rename it as stated above.
|
|
|
|
## M.U.G.E.N Games
