XMugen-linux is not an xbox port of mugen, it's a mini linux distro reduced to it's minimum in order to launch mugen on Xbox.
BEWARE: it's a early BETA version which has not been tested a lot.

It's a new "concept" for games that can't be ported (because no public source code).
You could expect this to be easier than a port, but there were some parts that take time (finding on which teminal mugen works, making the pad emulate a keyboard, shrinking linux to it's minimum, ...)

2 joysticks should be supported.
If you want to add things into mugen, just go to one of the many web pages you will find on internet (make sure the linux version of mugen is compatibility with these addons).

To do:
* Add a proper reboot when exit mugen (partition are not unmounted in current version of Xmugen-linux!)
* use the real joy2key instead of my ugly hack!

M.U.G.E.N is a 2D fighting game engine designed by Elecbyte starting in 1999 using the Allegro game programming library. Elecbyte distributed beta versions that ran under DOS, Linux, and Windows. The engine allows for anyone to create characters, stages, and other game objects through interpreted text files and graphics and sound compilations, and it also supports MP3 background music during gameplay. The engine is very powerful and flexible, allowing for the same type of functionality found in most any commercial 2D fighting game, such as the Street Fighter games produced by Capcom or the King of Fighters games produced by SNK.
More info about M.U.G.E.M here.

That's what I'm trying to do actually. I'm just trying to determine what characters work before I go creating a torrent with what I have.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. It is extremely frowned upon to transport packs of characters. If someone wants a character, they should go through the process of going to the site of the wanted character and downloading it themselves.
If you went through with the torrent, you'd be pissing a whole lot of creators off.

I was reading about the windows version of mugen and from what i can see its the same as the linux one. Can anyone confirm this?

LinMugen=For Linux
WinMugen=For Windows.
They are the same engine, but you'd want to run LinMugen in this XBOX config. It's a helluva lot more stable.

I asked him to just upload the system/config files, no characters, just so it can be easier for the noobs to add characters that the person has already downloaded. Ofcourse it will
be kind of difficult if everyone wants different kinds of characters.
