We have a Discord where you can report bugs, get help, request features, or just discuss the mod. If you do not want to join a discord, you can ping or message Fang___ instead.

• Download the launcher from this link or go to the Releases page.

• The first time you run the .EXE, your anti-virus might warn you it is dangerous. You can safely dismiss this message. If you are curious why, it says this because the training mod has code which modifies memory directly, which sets off the anti-virus.

• Run the .EXE while you have Melty Blood open.

• It is not necessary to put the executable in the same directory as MBAA.exe.

Right now there isn't a CMAKE file, so if you want to build the mod yourself, get the latest version of Visual Studio, DirectX SDK, and be sure to target x86.

Is it compatible with the Steam release?

At the moment, no. You must use the latest version of the community edition.

Is it compatible with Concerto?

Yes. Concerto is just an external program for CCCaster, so it will work just fine.

I found a bug, how do I report it?

You can join our Discord linked above, or send a message to Fang

"Please launch Melty Blood with CCCaster..." when MBAA.exe is already open

Check Task Manager too see if you have a zombie MBAA.exe process running. You may have to restart your computer to kill this program.

"VCRUNTIME140.dll" was not found

This means your VC++ redistributable is missing or needs repaired. There are step-by-step instructions on Google, so you're best off searching this error to find the best way to fix it.

MBAA crashes as soon as I open the mod

There is a good chance this is being caused by your DirectX9 installation. Try to reinstall DirectX9 if you can, and if you still have this problem, please reach out and we can try to help you.

Can I make my own version?

Yes.

Is there Linux support?

The official version of the mod does not support Linux at this point in time, but several people have made forks in the past which reportedly worked. You may be able to fin them by using the discord search feature.
