definitively this is one of that big surprises that sometimes you find in the net...
thanks a lot cleber!

.
im a big fan of your fangame, and i was really sad when i hear all that "problem", the same "problem" that bomberlink (streets of rage remake maker) was with sega after 8 years of work...
i have to say it:
sincerelly, to the hell!!

with all that companys that punish fans with poor quality games, and that attacks fangame creators just for sell us the same old thing on the ipad

.
is a true shame. they have all the tools, people and money possible... but they have to attack fangame makers, just because dont have the bravery to make a new good game. showing its incapacity and cowardliness for cant make a game better that one maked by a fan programmer

said this, please, i have a important question about this:
make a engine for beat en up games, plus a mod for ddf separately is enought for avoid ugly copyright traps?
i dont have none idea of law, but i really hope that yes

.
because im still sad after i follow streets of rage remake for 8 years, just for see that the game cant be finished. when it simply lacks a simple patch for fix little errors. but thanks to those damn...

now all are gone.
but man, if this works, who knows...
maybe sorrv5 creator thinks about this posibiblity, and him do the same in some years.
apart, other common thing beetwhen this 2 fangames are that sorrv5 also comes with a mod editor, but since the game was prohibited, not too much mods appears.
now about your game, it works perfectly for me in windows 7.
yeah the data folder must be placed along with that dll file needed in the folder with the game. then the game works perfect for me

.
but is truth, the level editor dont works by now.
anyway, have you seen the level editor that bomberlink makes for sorrv5? it are very easy and cool. (you can select one enemy by the icon, and by point and click just put that enemy in the part of the stage map that you wanted. is really easy and useful).
greetings. and please sorry my limited english.
