Cross Fever for MSHvsSF — 1v1 Duo

A normal two-player MSHvsSF with MVC1-style Duo: QCB+HP+HK plays MVC1's start, the point's pose, the team-Hyper cut-in and then the partner flying in, and you control both until the timer runs out, over MVC1's meteor sky with MVC1's ∞ on your level meter.

Cross Fever for MSHvsSF — 1v1 Duo v5 · Sep 24, 2026

Windows one-file installers, one per set: drag your verified stock MSHvsSF USA 970827 (mshvsfu.zip) onto mshvsf-cross-two-human-v5-preview.cmd, or the Euro 970625 set (mshvsf.zip, the one Fightcade runs) onto mshvsf-cross-two-human-v5-euro-preview.cmd. Stock two-player controls. v5 starts the mode the MVC1 way and adds 1P and 2P markers. Apply it to the stock ROM, not on top of an earlier version.

Keep a backup of your stock MSHvsSF: the USA mshvsfu.zip (970827) or the Euro mshvsf.zip (970625), the set Fightcade runs.
Drag it onto the installer for its set: mshvsf-cross-two-human-v5-preview.cmd for the USA zip, mshvsf-cross-two-human-v5-euro-preview.cmd for the Euro zip. It writes the patched zip beside it.
Copy that zip to a separate ROM folder under the set's own name (mshvsfu.zip or mshvsf.zip) and play with ordinary two-player controls.

Patch-only and hash-gated: it checks your clean parent member by member, never overwrites it, and refuses patched or foreign sets. No ROM, key, save state or emulator is included or downloaded. Preview build: this exact ROM ran in MAME 0.264 with ordinary inputs (the call pose, cut-in and partner entrance for both teams, the full bar and ∞ sign while timed, the level after each timer ends, Hypers inside and outside the mode, and stage restoration), and the markers were checked at every sprite-list close over about 23,000 frames on five character sets. The Euro installer's build is the same v5 moved to the 970625 program, every changed address checked there; it passed the same checks in MAME's mshvsf driver, and the scenarios also pass on Fightcade's FBNeo core, built headless from its pinned source. Both installers passed their own PowerShell and Python test cases. Fightcade's own front end and online play (GGPO), native Windows and CPS-2 cabinet wiring remain untested.

What changed in v5

QCB+HP+HK now starts the mode the MVC1 way: the point strikes its call pose with its voice (it cannot be hit during it), MSHvsSF's own team-Hyper cut-in plays with both teammates' portraits, then the partner flies in from behind the point with its own tag-in attack.
Nothing is taken when the mode starts. The meter shows full while it runs, and when it ends it costs two full bars (a partly filled third is kept); a Level 3 start runs longer and empties the meter.
MVC1's 1P and 2P chevrons stay over every fighter in play, COM over a CPU fighter; they hide during the cut-ins.
The meteor sky, the ∞ and the controls are unchanged from v3. v4 was an internal build; its changes are in v5.

Download MSHvsSF 1v1 Duo v3 (preview)
v3 · released Sep 23, 2026 · Preview. Windows one-file installer: drag your verified stock MSHvsSF USA 970827 (mshvsfu.zip) onto it. Stock two-player controls. v3 keeps v2's meteor sky and puts MVC1's ∞ in place of your level digit while your timed mode runs. Apply it to the stock ROM, not on top of v1 or v2.
- MVC1's ∞ replaces your level digit while your timed mode runs, as MVC1 shows it during its own Duo: MVC1's two-tile sign, in MSHvsSF's fixed HUD colors.
- The digit comes back when the mode ends, and the other side keeps its own digit until its own mode starts.
- The meteor sky, controls and timers are unchanged from v2.

v2 · released Sep 23, 2026 · Preview. Windows one-file installer: drag your verified stock MSHvsSF USA 970827 (mshvsfu.zip) onto it. Stock two-player controls. v2 puts MVC1's meteor sky behind the timed mode; ordinary Hypers keep MSHvsSF's own Hyper background. Apply it to the stock ROM, not on top of v1.
- MVC1's meteor sky behind the timed mode, as MVC1 shows it for its own Duo: four of its eight frames, with its full color cycle.
- The sky stays up while either team is timed, flashes white with the game's own Hyper flashes, and the stage returns when the last timer ends.
- Ordinary Hypers outside the mode keep MSHvsSF's own Hyper background. Controls are unchanged from v1.

- MVC1-style Duo in MSHvsSF: QCB+HP+HK brings your partner in and you control both teammates at once.
- Both teammates follow the one player's inputs during the mode, each with a separate command history.
- QCF+HP+HK remains the team Hyper and tagging still works; normal tag control returns when the timer ends.
