Dolmexica Infinite is an in-development Mugen interpreter for Dreamcast, Web, Vita and Windows.

Installation

How to install:

• Transfer the .vpk to a Vita and install it from VitaShell.
• In addition to that, libshacccg.suprx (a Vita shader compiler needed by vitaGL) needs to be extracted on your Vita.

Creating a .vpk package with custom assets (read more):

• Extract the Dolmexica Infinite.zip, modify the assets folder to include the characters/stages you want.
• Open "Dolmexica Infinite Make-your-own-game kit for Vita.exe."
• Follow the instructions provided to generate the .vpk file.
• Install the .vpk using VitaShell on your Vita.

Notes:

• KFM character and stage made by Elecbyte.
• The more technical Mugen-on-Dreamcast stuff should go in this thread if possible.
• Older versions can be found in the Dolmexica Infinite archive.
