How to install Mai :
--------------------------

[important: you must use Mugen 2000.11.29 with this character (it may not work with other versions of Mugen) ]

I recommand you to use the tool MWC made by ByteZero to easily install this character. You can download MWC here:
http://bytezero.virtualave.net/
Then unzip MWC in mugen directory. Then run MWC. If you run it for the first
time, it will ask you where Mugen is located, so just go to the Mugen folder
and select the file mugen.exe.

After you have done this, you can install the characters with MWC. Just go
to the menu Select/characters. Click on the button "character" at the
right of the window and choose the .def file of the character (MaiKOF.def).
Click save at the top right corner and that's all : )


If you want to install it without MWC, here is what to do:
-You must have the version 2000.11.29 of Mugen (Will not work with previous versions )
-Unzip the character, you should have a directory named Mai that contains sff, act
,air... files
-Copy this Mai directory to the chars directory of Mugen.
-Open the file select.def (this file is in the data directory of Mugen) with
a text editor (Notepad or Wordpad for exemple)
-Search the line where you can see [characters].
-Under this line write the name of the directory of the char, followed by /MaiKOF.def
So you should have something like this:

[characters]
Mai/MaiKOF.def

-Save the file and load Mugen
-That's all.
