This is a Tutorial/Guide on "How to Install MBAC Ver. B on your Comp and Enable it for Online Play".
First, you need to either have a hard-copy of the MBAC Ver. B game, or have it in a .iso file in your comp.
So here is a DDL...
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
And some torrents...
Melty Blood Act Cadenza (Version B) Torrents:

I HIGHLY recommend using the English Patch from Mirror Moon, if you want to be able to read the game in English.
Mirror Moon's Melty Blood Act Cadenza (Version B) English Patch Version 1.1 DDLs + Torrent:

For those of you who aren't familiar with torrenting (or for those of you who weren't able to use the DDLs), you can use a program like UTorrent to download it

If the file(s) come compressed in a .zip or .rar format (or any other form of compressed file), then you can use WinRAR to extract the files.

After you fully download the .iso of the MBAC Ver. B game, you can use Daemon Tools Lite to mount the .iso file so that you can install the game.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
After you mount the .iso of MBAC Ver. B using Daemon Tools, you can go ahead and choose to install the game onto your comp via double-clicking on the .exe of the Mirror Moon English Patch for it.
Here are the standard game controls (on the computer keyboard) for MBAC Ver. B:
~ 1st Player:
"Start" = F5 Key
"UP" = Up Arrow
"Down" = Down Arrow
"Left" = Left Arrow
"Right" = Right Arrow
"A" = "N" key
"B" = "M" key
"C" = "," key
"D" = "." key
"E" = "J" key
"F" = "K" key
~ 2nd Player:
"UP" = "T" key
"Down" = "G" key
"Left" = "F" key
"Right" = "H" key
"A" = "Z" key
"B" = "X" key
"C" = "C" key
"D" = "V" key
"E" = "S" key
"F" = "D" key
Now I'm sure that a very high number of you aren't at all going to like such a configuration, so you can use MPKeyConfig to change the key configurations. So download it from the following link:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
After it is done downloading, locate the directory on your comp where you downloaded MBACBKeyConfig to, and extract the files using WinRAR.
Double-Click on the "mpkeycfg.exe" in the folder that you just extracted from the compressed file.
When the program runs, you're going to have to locate the directory on you computer where your MBAC Ver. B's "mbacPC.exe" is located, and click on the "Open" button.
Now configure your desired keys and click on PATCH button once you complete.
Next, locate the same file as shown right below:
Locate the existing Reg.exe, and click OPEN.
It will pop out a notice once it is finished.
Now download the MBCaster:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Ok, now go to your mbcaster folder, and locate EXE folder, and copy the 3 files inside it…
And paste it to your Melty Blood main folder.
- Please read the readme included for the caster key configuration:
The reason why I'm telling you that you need to change the key configuration for MBCaster, is because it's default configuration is the same as that of the original game. And when you play online using the services of MBCaster, you're going to be using the Key Configurations that you have set in for MBCaster.
And now to Check on your ability to play online:
Double-Click on your "MBCaster" .exe or shortcut.
Now punch-in "9" and press enter...
If this doesn't then open your MBAC game and then automatically go straight to it's "Versus Menu", something may have gone wrong during the previous steps...
FAQ
Quote:
1) Jesus christ! It exploded after game started!
A: Make sure you have the latest version of MBCaster (1.03a as of now)
This shouldn't have happened since the link for MBCaster that I gave you is indeed Version 1.03a
Quote:
2) How do I use keyboard controls?
A: Set inputDevice to 255 in config_caster.ini
Quote:
3) ERROR : mbacPC start failed.
A: Put the MBCaster files in the same folder mbacPC.exe is in.
If you didn't get this problem, then "Yay!" you're able to play online! XD
Basically, you choose "1: Wait for access" whenever you want to host a match...
and you choose "2: Try access" whenever you want to access someone else who is hosting a match.
and for You Voyeuristic people who just simply like to watch, you can choose "3: Spectate" so that you can access a match just to watch the combatants battle it out.
In the case of choice "1: Wait for Access", all you have to do is give your IP out to the people whom you want have a match against or would like to have spectating your match, and then wait for them to access you.
In the cases of choices "2: Try access" and "3: Spectate", you're going to be prompted with an input for what IP you're trying to access, and the IP you should input is the IP of the person hosting the match. Make sure that you type in the correct IP and then press enter.
The "Buffer Margin Value" input inquiry should then come next to either or both of the combatants of the match. It'll ask you or you both to input a value between "1" and "10". I recommend choosing the value that the program recommends to you. This value will moderate the lag difference between the connection speeds of the combatants involved in the match.
FYI, "1" is for when there is virtually no lag at all between the combatants' connections, and "10" is for when there is an unforgivable amount of lag.
If you don't know what your IP is, and you'd like to have a quick means to finding it out, you can just use this website:

For those of you who would like to have a safer means to battle it out with other people online in MBAC Ver. B. You can use Hamachi as a medium.

My Hamachi servor name is:

and the password is:
Bitches don't know 'bout mah legends!?
Important Note:
A person that is not using a Hamachi connection CANNOT connect with others who are otherwise using a Hamachi connection and vice versa.
And that's it. I really wish I could make this Tutorial/Guide more helpful and simpler by including more pics, but then we've got the 4 images per post limit keeping me from doing such a thing, so go ahead and ask me about any problems that you're having, and either I or someone else that is knowledgeable on the subject will help you here...
May The Gods of Epic Win Be With You!
