Hello patrons! First, thank you for your continued support on Fightcade, even during our "hold" status. That helped cover some server expenses for a while, but recently we have had time to go over the project again and we are working very hard on the next release, which we think you will really like. This includes a new and refactored emulator (based on FBNeo), with an improved GGPO implementat...

Due to real life commitments taking more and more of our time, the Fightcade team has decided to put Fightcade 2 development on hold. This means that while the server will be kept on for the time being, there won't be new updates. If this changes in the future we'll let you know. Many thanks to all of you for your support.

Hello patrons! First of all: It's thanks to you that we can cover server expenses at the time being, which is the main reason we opened our Patreon page. If we manage to keep you, our current patrons, we'll be able to break even at the end of the year and keep the server running. So, from the bottom of our hearts - thank you.
As a "Hardcore Gamer" (or higher) patron you'll be the first to test o...
