Essential improvements
1.02F patch
The 1.02F Patch provides improvements for multiplayer and enables the weapon view window to function properly. It also fixes game speed problem on modern systems.
Compatibility with modern operating systems
Fighters Anthology works without issue on Windows 95 and Windows 98. In Windows XP, the game runs slightly faster and the music does not work. In Windows 7, the game runs faster than on Windows XP and the music also does not work. For Windows 7, a batch file needs to created and used instead as the game is unable to load from the executable. Through Wine, the launcher and Jane's introduction both work but the game does not load. Windows 98 running in VirtualBox requires graphics drivers to be installed and set to at least 16 bit colours. VMWare installs the graphic drivers automatically for Windows 98.
If colors are affected see Rainbow color problems in older games.

Issues unresolved
Crash to desktop
The game will rarely randomly freeze, invert colours and then crash to the desktop. There is no fix for this.
Other information
Fighters Anthology Tool Kit
The Fighters Anthology Tool Kit enables users to edit all variables in the entire game, change airbase locations on maps, extract LIBs and create custom LIBs.
Game files
All of the game files are stored in .lib files. There is no known software which can extract them. The FATK is the only way to browse through them and is only able to extract individual files.
