We have a Discord where you can report bugs, get help, request features, or just discuss the mod. If you do not want to join a discord, you can ping or message Fang___ instead.

• Download the latest .EXE and .DLL from this link.

• The first time you run the .EXE, your anti-virus might warn you it is dangerous. You can safely dismiss this message. If you are curious why, it says this because the training mod has code which modifies memory directly, which sets off the anti-virus.

• Run the .EXE while you have Melty Blood open.

• It is not necessary to put the executable in the same directory as MBAA.exe.

Right now there isn't a CMAKE file, so if you want to build the mod yourself, get the latest version of Visual Studio, DirectX SDK, and be sure to target x86.

Is it compatible with the Steam release?

At the moment, no. You must use the latest version of the community edition.

Is it compatible with Concerto?

Yes. Concerto is just an external program for CCCaster, so it will work just fine.

I found a bug, how do I report it?

You can join our Discord linked above, or send a message to Fang___

"Looking for MBAA.exe..." when MBAA.exe is already open

Check Task Manager too see if you have a zombie MBAA.exe process running. You may have to restart your computer to kill this program.

"VCRUNTIME140.dll" was not found

This means your VC++ redistributable is missing or needs repaired. There are step-by-step instructions on Google, so you're best off searching this error to find the best way to fix it.

MBAA crashes as soon as I open the mod

There is a good chance this is being caused by your DirectX installation. Try to reinstall DirectX if you can, and if you still have this problem, please reach out and we can try to help you.

Some of my settings change on their own

This is most likely because you are using the HITS UNTIL BURST option. This setting requires MANUAL for the dummy and INFINITE for the meter, and turning HITS UNTIL BURST on automatically changes these.

The hitboxes are being glitchy

More than likely this is because you opened the F4 menu at some point. This is a known issue and can be easily fixed by switching in/out of fullscreen (alt+enter).

Can I make my own version?

Yes.
