Combo Breaker! How to Pass the 999 Combo Count Limit

[Gene Worm]

Figured I should put this somewhere because I think it's a neat trick and really helpful, although it does require knowledge of hex editing.

 

Don't you hate it that MUGEN caps the combo counter at 999? Well, Japanese MUGEN users have found a way around that (although it requires hex-editing). All you have to do is edit a few bytes of your MUGEN's exe file (but make sure you do it right and save a copy of the original first because crashes and malfunctions can happen if mistakes are made).

 

The bytes that have to be edited are different between MUGEN versions, so make sure you know what version you have. If your MUGEN version isn't listed below, then this will not work for you unless you are able to find the bytes manually.

 

These are the ones currently known so far:

M.U.G.E.N Version 1.0 RC6

447CD: E7030000 → FFFFFF00

 

M.U.G.E.N Version 1.1a (2011/01/18)
0004BDBC: E7030000 → FFFFFF00
0004BDCD: E7030000 → FFFFFF00

 

Windows Mugen Plus (WINMugen Plus)
00021F41: E7030000 → FFFFFF00
00021F4F: E7030000 → FFFFFF00

 

M.U.G.E.N Version 1.1b1 (2013/07/27)
000162E0: E7030000 → FFFFFF7F
000162F0: E7030000 → FFFFFF7F

 

 

 

To use this, find the line in your mugen executable that matches the value to the left of the colon. Then locate the bytes on said line that match the set on the left side of the arrow. Change the specified bytes to match the set on the right side of the arrow.

 

This is used often in god tournaments for Winmugen.
