Custom MvC2 Home
Welcome to the custom MvC2 home page. Here you will find the updated version of ComboMasher's classic tutorial for making a custom MvC2 for the Dreamcast. All necessary downloads and tool are located on the downloads page. This guide will generally work for the old PS2, PS3, and NAOMI versions as well.
If you are working with the Marvel vs Capcom Collection (for Steam, PS4, and Switch), please follow the Customizing the MvC2 Collection Guide instead.
These instructions presume that you have downloaded the Selfboot.zip file from the Download page: Selfboot.zip has backups of all the software needed here. (In some cases, you may be able to download "current" versions of the needed software if those companies are still around.)
Extract the "selfboot" folder from the "SelfBoot" zip file to your "C:" drive. View. You will see a folder called "data", this is where you will want to extract all your data to. This will be the folder we will be working with for most of these steps.
Hit Preppy up at Twitter (zachdms) if you notice anything broken. If you need help - or want to share your work! - the MvC2 Custom Mix group on Facebook is great.

- MvC2 Color Highlights Gallery
- MvC2 Custom Mix Archive - you can just grab a copy if you don't want to make your own.
- Paxtez's MvC2 1st_read Modding Site (please check it out, it's amazing): select what features you want for your MvC2 mix such as not needing a VMU.
- Paxtez's Modified Stages collection.
- Rob2D's Stage modification tools (!!!)
- Dave's Customizing MvC2 on jail-broken PS3s (all relevant files). The PS3 version repackages the PS2 files, so it's pretty easy to work with.

- Eidrian's multi-select mixes (links deleted, hit up that post for new links I guess)
- Dreamcast CDI Tool: used for creation of multigame complation discs
