Homer vs Peter Griffen, how do you set this up?

[MPTech]

I came across this video on youtube:

and just thought it was a very well created clip using some video editing (similar to photoshop) to create.

I did some more research and found this site:
http://www.freewebs.com/warner12/personajeschars.htm
but you may need Babel Fish or some other utility to translate it http://babelfish.altavista.com/ (Spanish to English I think)

So, my question is, this looks like it is Street Fighter based, but does anyone know how to get it to run?
Is it something I could load on my PC?  (I'd like to create a separate instance, I have MAME Street Fighter, but don't want to corrupt it)

I'm still doing research, so if I do figure it out, I'll post back too.

Mugen.  It's a fighter game engine.

I'll google it, but can you tell me more?

Ahhhh, a wiki, I should have known:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.G.E.N

I'm reading it now. thanks.

(more comments are still appreciated, this is brand new to me)

and a quick how-to:

Mugen "legend edition" will net you 800+ characters.

Mugen "legend edition" will net you 800+ characters.

But how does it play?  It can't possibly be balanced, can it?

Oh my no. Balance is a million miles away.

What kind of horsepower is needed in a computer to run this well? I know you need 1ghz or better to run Streetfighter and the like in MAME, is this similar?

[WhiteFro1306]

I'd say if you can run the street fighter stuff fine, you should be fine with Mugen. I don't know exact specs but it seems on par with most fighter games.

[MPTech]

I'm going to try setting this up tomorrow nite.  Anymore sites with additional characters (not the normal SF stuff).

ok, I give, what is balance? (like handicapping?)

Some of the Mugen characters win at the press of one button, there is nothing limiting their power.

Where do you get it from?  Thanks.
