Fightcade 2 Install Guide for 2022

[@ale_here4608]

Tysm!! For anyone in 2024 wondering if the guide still works, it does.

[@shamwow3615]

actually saved me from looking down an unecessary rabbit hole, thanks man!

took the words out of my mouth xD

[@pouletsept5099]

Such a great video! Got it all set up in 5 min's and I was playing Guilty Gear XX, King of Fighters, Street Fighter 3rd Strike and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 like I was a teenager again. So many games and even older stuff from when I was a kid like The Simpsons Arcade. Man this takes me back.

[@tohisukael9753]

Damn this video should be pinned into the software. It's clear and fast.

[@Lucky209Charms]

This video was so easy to follow! I thought it would be super hard to set this up. Thank you so much sir!

[@MKF30]

Hey thanks a ton dude, this was the ONLY video helpful with the json files working for everything and it automatically seeking roms to work! So much easier than doing each rom individually with the zip file crap lol. You rock!

[@RasKetchum]

Bro, you took me on a journey. I watched that first NES Classic Edition mod video you made a couple of years back now and that was my first foray into modding anything. After how simple and rewarding that was, I've been willing to mod anything I can get my hands on to play retro. Since then, I've modded the SNES Classic, Genesis Mini, bought a 3DS and a Wii U and modded them both. After all of that, I was finally willing to tinker with and give MAME a try to fill my Arcade itch. Now you're putting me onto this and at the best time! Thanks for these videos bro. I don't know if I would have cared to get back into retro gaming as much if it weren't for that initial video.

[@Restalgia]

Thanks man. I'm glad those videos rekindled the fire. I appreciate your support for the channel a ton.

[@djavsdjavs]

do you have a link for it

[@zionjackson7617]

You are absolutely a lifesaver. I’ve always wanted to play on fight Kayde, but the only problem was I was always have another source the wrong file and then find somewhere to download it, and something would always go wrong or some thing wouldn’t work right I watched your video, and in just a few seconds, I got everything set up ready to go and play. I love third strike I highly recommend people give him I like I subscribe and I like he just made my life so much more easier than it ever could’ve been and now I finally get to play third strike on my PC. I appreciate it so much dude much love.❤

[@Flafex]

Thank you so much, this helps the community and keep the classics alive

[@BillsOldandNewGaming]

This looks great. I was not aware of this at all so will be definitely be checking it out to get my ass kicked at those fighting games.

[@warrklownn1]

Thank you for this tutorial. About a year ago or so,I tried getting fightcade 2 up and running after the first 1 went down. It was a no go. I just couldn't get the romset right and what not. But thanks to this I got it figured out. Its super simple and I appreciate it man!!!

[@icednotefgc7268]

Incredibly straightforward and easy to follow. THANK YOU.

[@Thecharliesruiz]

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Now I can play marvel vs capcom 2 and play 3 my favorite characters, Psylocke, Spider-Man and Wolverine. Again thank you!

[@masterneme]

Oh Fightcade, I remember playing Metal Slug, Final Fight and Cadillacs with it. The client is an Electron app so in theory it should be possible to have a version for Raspberry Pi.

[@fahadus]

They have a Flatpak download for Linux on their site now. So basically, out of the box now.

[@ibraheemayyad6875]

i did json and it dont work still. im trynna play sf3 3rd strike

[@TheLeoOrtiz]

Nvm, it does work. Just make sure you json before you try to play anything or join a group. If you already joined a group and then Json, it will not work. However, you van just leave the group and rejoin and the json will work without problem. I thought it was BS at first but its legitimately just user error on my part

[@supremeweenie]

@@TheLeoOrtiz thank you!!

[@Evercade_Effect]

I may have to have this a try. Not having to hunt for roms in a huge plus.

[@zack7384]

Thanks a ton, man! Worked like a charm.

[@itzgigaxx]

amazing tutorial. worked flawlessly here. tysm!

[@Locked_Character]

"Naw am drinking" I feel that, brother 😂

[@CQCGRID]

This was very informative and easy to follow! I was only hung up at the part where you had to use the actual search engine in Fightcade for the JSON file to download it. I was already joined for 3 games and kept getting an error message. So I had to leave those channels and then rejoin them.

[@codesatruegamer8252]

Hi, I know this comment is 4 months old.... but thank you. I redownloaded fightcade today on my orignal account and tried to test a game but it didn't work, then I saw your comment and I just rejoined all the servers and then my games worked! I don't know where I would be without this comment.

I did this step by step and nothing.....does this work for Mac users as well? or was this tutorial strictly created for WIN users only?

WOW man I never knew about this!! this is so cool!! just wondering since this was last year is there anything better?

[@jamesong8512]

This guy did inform how to install the bios and all if you follow him. But the roms you need to download separately from another link on the games.

[@MaximumCarter]

This guide was great for setting up Fightcade 2 and I know the video is a bit old but I was wondering if maybe you could share some content about how to setup a fight stick in Fightcade 2? If you already have, forgive me. I've been searching everywhere and I can't find much info on how to setup a fight stick/controller. Thank you!

Quick question, i deleted my old Fightcade 2 (which had the Json files) and i was trying to reinstall it and now i have no idea where to get those files anymore, the link you posted no longer works when you click it and every other link i find online also turns up nothing now, sigh. Is there anywhere to find the Json files in 2024?

Did everything but for some reason the auto download isn't working. Every game I tried had the CMD prompt window pop up for a couple of seconds and then close, when I go to "test game" it tells me I'm missing all the files. Edit: the control panel locale fix worked. (windows 10: control panel > region > administrative tab > change system locale > untick the beta feature)

[@lalanevr1277]

same its so annoying

[@DivineChanneling444]

Hey man I am having the same problem, what exactly did you do ?

[@himmelsturmerIX]

Wow this is really simple. I spent some times trying to play marvel vs capcom 2 on retroarch and failed. I'm not sure if it's the wrong core, missing bios file or what. Using fightcade it's literally took less than 5 min.
