Howdy! Over the past few years MountainManJed has been applying his technical wizardry to make improvements to the US version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for Dreamcast. The changes he has made are: == 05/23/2020 Update == * Character unlocks: All character are unlocked by default. You don't need/want a VMU. * Fix stage randomization. Random stage select in vanilla MvC2 doesn't actually use all possible stages: with this update it will. == 10/04/2021 Update == * You can now customize the music for "alternate" versions of stages, such as the different versions of Ship, Desert, and so forth. See the list below. == 01/29/2022 Update == * Palette Expansion: each character file now stores 16 colors that you can use. You need the update PL/SPL files in the ZIP for this, so make sure to include those. * Rogue: now uses her jacket win pose correctly instead of always showing the LP color. * Cammy: now has a unique jacket per color. To use these files, select which update revision you want. Each has their own folder in this ZIP. Go into the revision folder you want and just copy all the files onto your image. You can tell what version you have or are using by checking the "Date Modified" on your 1st_read.bin file. Enjoy! -Preppy ===More Details=== ==Palette Expansion== Button options are LP, LK, HP, HK, A1+LP, A1+LK, A1+HP, A1+HK, A2+LP, A2+LK, A2+HP, A2+HK, A1+A2+LP, A1+A2+LK, A1+A2+HP, and A1+A2+HK. Versions 1.76 and later of PalMod can read and edit these if you use PalMod's File : : Load Directory : : MvC2 : : DC option. Should be easy enough. ==Unique Songs For Alternate Stages== The stage song file names are now: ADX_SELC Select screen ADX_S000 The Pirate Ship Stage ADX_S010 Desert ADX_S020 Inside the factory ADX_S030 Carnival Stage ADX_S040 Bridge stage ADX_S050 Blue Underground Cave ADX_S060 Clock Tower ADX_S070 Ice Boat Stage ADX_S080 Abyss 1 ADX_S090 Abyss 2 ADX_S0A0 Abyss 3 ADX_S0B0 Training ADX_CAPL Capcom logo during boot ADX_CONT Continue music ADX_HERE Here comes a new challenger ADX_MENU Menu ADX_NETW Networking (Japan only) ADX_OPEN Intro music to the Characters ADX_OVER Game Over ADX_RANK Ranking screen ADX_STAF Credits Screen ADX_MENU Menu Screen ADX_WINS Music after you beat a stage ADX_NSHP The Pirate Ship Stage (Alternate version) ADX_NDST Desert (Alternate version) ADX_NCRN Carnival Stage (Alternate version) ADX_NCAV Blue Underground Cave (Alternate version) ADX_NCLK Clock Tower (Alternate version) ADX_NRFT Ice Boat Stage (Alternate version) ADX_NSWP Bridge stage (Alternate version) All the "new" options are labeled as "Alternate". Note if you do not include the new "alternate" songs then no music will play for that stage. For your convenience, you can just copy the existing "alternate" tracks onto your mix.
