*UPDATE 6/22/2022* - Lofi1048 found a new server to host all the rom files for automatic downloads. If you have the old JSON files, you will need to go back to his website and download the new JSON files and just replace the old ones in your Fightcade/Emulator folder. lofi.netlify.app/post/fc2-json-pack-auto-download-roms-from-fightcade-2/
Perfect explanation on how to install FC2! Props on adding the json files a ton of people don’t know about those and how it automates the rom downloads. Great stuff my dood.
Yea! Once I found out about the .jSON scripts for automatic downloads, I had to share this easy process to get FC2 going. It used to a bit convoluted on adding your own rom sets and compatability issues. This is the easiest way to to play some of these games thru a simple interface

Can someone help? I have everything downloaded. The emulator folder has all the json files in there. When I join a channel, it pops up the DOS prompt process which I assume is searching for the file.When I do this in any channel, it says "file name" not found, then a bunch of 'essential program rom' not found and also 'graphics rom xxxx' not found.

@@KongsRUs yeah FC is generally pretty easy to use in general and great that you made a tut to cover it and these FC scripts. btw random but JSON scripts is kind of a misnomer; scripting is actually not related to the json format itself (that's just kind of a container that has FC's scripts as some of the values).

So I have a question when i remap my buttons on my victrix fight stick when I push heavy kick it brings up a menu. Why does it do that? And can you please help me with that
Hi! Sorry I don't have a Victrix so not sure exactly what the issue is. It might be mapped twice to another input to pull up the menu so try clearing all button inputs before starting. Also consider checking your button/joystick is working properly in windows menu. Start Menu > SETUP USB Game Controllers

Also the rom folders are empty. Also i think that they don't even download because the window that it opens to you and shows a download bar for me it opens and then suddenly closes really fast.
@@MikeTheGreat25 hmm, that's strange. Maybe try another fresh install, or keep trying to join the rooms multiple times so the script can work if it closes top quickly. Alternatively, you could Google the rom sets and manually add them into the folders if the JSON script is not working
I'd recommend starting a fresh install to try again. When you get to the part where you opening a game, try it a few times to make sure the rom installs
