Is Little Fighter only available for Windows??
I was thinking that is there any LF2 MOD that works in Linux or Mac also?
Is there a Mod like it, or someone maybe is making it or is it impossible?
!!!Have GUTS???
Then show them Off!!!

I honestly don't think it's possible. One, most people using computers have Windows as its OS, so it would be a waste of time to rewrite the game in a linux-compatible format. Two, rewriting LF2 itself would be harder than ever, since the format .exe have to be changed (mac and linux can't run .exe files)
why do we need LF2 to run on linux/mac anyways? I've actually also heard that there's a virtual PC (?) that can run more than one OS at one computer. Most people can also borrow a windows computer to run the game. EDIT: Nevermind, just ignore this post and read below.

well i'm making hq linux compatible (half because it's faster to develop in linux (the ide is better in linux, has a nicer debugger and all)). but lf2 lf2 isn't linux compatible. maybe you can emulate it with Wine, haven't tried. but ya, sun/oracle virtualbox should be able to run a virtual windows OS and u should be able to run lf2 in that.

These sentences are so stupid that I don't even know how to begin explaining it...
If you haven't noticed, more and more people (including myself) are switching to other operating systems because Windows has become too expensive over the last few years. Add that and the growing list of crashes, viruses and malicious software, and the fact that you have to reinstall every 2 years or so, it becomes pretty clear that the main reason many people still use Windows is because the gaming industry and some other companies won't provide support for other OS. Taking all that into account, why shouldn't we be able to enjoy LF2 on Unix based operating systems? Especially since it's already free to play free-of-charge.
It would be cool if someone was to remake LittleFighter to be able to run on Linux, maybe more-so place it into the next Ubuntu distributions central. Though unfortunately, for now I'm doubtful anybody will take that job; reverse engineering is a real pain. We can always keep our hopes up, though. :S
Other then that, yeah: using VirtualBox is valid for running LF2, and Wine still has some bugs to fix (but it's getting there).

one, (correct me if i'm wrong) 100% of all people who has switched from windows to mac are happy with it
two, if you get the development code (?) from marty it wouldn't be that hard have i heard.

FOLLOW THE RULES!
Rule 1: English only (+10%, 1 week)
The forum is a meeting place for people from any nation to talk and have fun. Therefore, to ensure that everybody is able to participate and understand you, please stick to English with proper spelling and grammar.
Rule 2: Think before posting (+10%, 2 weeks)
Spam (posts that contain literally no useful information at all), off-topic discussion, gravedigs (posting in threads that have been inactive for several weeks) or generally senseless posts (posts that are hard or impossible to understand) of any form won't be accepted.
If you want to ask questions, search the Mainsite ( http://www.lf-empire.de) or the forums first to check if your enquiry has been answered elsewhere.
Rule 3: Etiquette (+30%, 2 weeks)
Generally, common sense applies here. Do not offend, harass, curse, show disrespect, or be rude towards anyone. Newcomers shall be treated, like anybody else, with respect.
Additionally, sexual or illegal content (such as pirated software, plagiarisms) are not allowed and will immediately be removed.
Rule 4: No multi-accounting (+40%, 1 month)
You may only have one single account on LFE. Bans will be allotted upon disregard.
Rule 5: Follow posting guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- As LFE offers you to select differently colored themes, submitting posts with excessive color formatting is strongly prohibited as it possibly makes it hard to read them in other themes.
- If you submit an excerpt from .dat-files, use [code=dc]Your code here[/code] for clear presentation.
- Use descriptive titles when posting a thread. “Help” does not tell a whole lot.
- Click the [Solved]-button when a thread of yours has been cleared of your problems.
Rule 6: Follow profile guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- Please keep your signatures under 150 pixels in size, including text. Refrain from using animated pictures as they can take longer to load on some computers. Using sounds or anything which interferes with the forum layout is forbidden.
- Do not upload avatars larger than 100 KB.
Rule 7: No backseat moderating (+10%, 1 week)
If you feel that a person has broken one of the above rules, please use the report-button located under each post. You may write the user a personal message (PM) but do not post in the respective thread to inform about the violation.

Guess I was a bit harsh. Sorry about that.

Is it even possible to get that code? Didn't he sell the copyrights or something...? :S
If not, how would we go about getting it anyway?

True, but it would be infinitely hard to get the source code, simply because Marty said he wouldn't give it to anyone. Apart from that, you also have the sold copyright to consider.
Hiding users' signatures and avatars was the best decision ever.
hey blow :P ~ Bamboori
can I call ya koalafly? ~ Phil
Pogofly - Simoneon
k0a1af1y, looks much more stylish ~ Blue Phoenix
So hey, blow, say something! - Simoneon
Quack? ~ blow_fly98
Hi blow ~Ramond
So... is it decided that we call him "blow"? ~ Blue Phoenix
No. ~ blow_fly98
But blow, all the members now will follow us because of this convo. You're ruined!!! - Simoneon
Meh. But I'll leave this convo here anyway. ~ blow_fly98
meh koala is much more awesome so I will stick to that ~ Phil
Wait, what? Koalas can edit profiles? - Simoneon
lol, seems that i started a long discussion :P ~ Bamboori
You did, indeed. I wonder who will exceed the sig-limit... ~ Blue Phoenix
Please don't trash this. It's good eye-candy. ~ blow_fly98
koala has spoken and so shall it be =) ~ Phil
there're some html here, and bla bla bla, so I think I might exceed it. Period - Simoneon
WHY THE SPOILER?! ~ Blue Phoenix
didn't you spoiler the conversation yourself? ~ Bamboori
BLOW BLOW!!! YOU FORGOT TO WRITE NAKATO IN 'WE'RE WATCHING YOU'!!!!! - Simoneon
To0 8ad. H4 D045n't d0 any MoDdin9 at A11!!!!!!! ~ blow_fly98
Evil Sonidow does, eh? - Simoneon
Of course. Just n0t v4ry 0ft4n. ~ blow_fly98
WHY THE 1337-SPEAK?! ~ Blue Phoenix
Because I am a KOALA!!! ~ blow_fly98
To be honest, I thought they use Eucalyptus-Speal..........
......
......
D: - Simoneon
Noez, Simon forgot to close his notice! ~ Blue Phoenix
oh no its the end of the world! *panic* ~ Bamboori
Gzz Hizz Fz Mzzz
Anyone got a Eucalyptus-speak interpreter?
And did you know that a user can have more than 4 images in their signature if we edit it for them? Or am I just the last one to find out?
~ blow_fly98
OMG spoilers in spoilers! ~ Bamboori
OMG offtopic in offtopic! - Simoneon
OH HAI GUYZ, i didnt you see you thar :P ~ Alectric
Now, I seriously need to be a part of this. ~ SirFrog
Wasn't there something about childish mods editing signatures lately? ~ Reaper
What?!?! Where was it?!?!?! ~ blow_fly98
DO YOU HAVE SUGAR?! - Simoneon
I heard if you edit someone's signature enough, your profile automatically is set to Admin status. BP told me. ~ Alectric
then let's do this! ~ Bamboori
Just because I don't go around checking every single post and editing signatures doesn't mean that I don't mod here. I just don't check posts that aren't reported. ~ Evil Sonidow
Seriously. We should encourage people to start reporting more :/ - Simoneon
EvErYoNe'S pOsTeD hErE eXcEpT mH.
Hey, maybe we could report every single post just so ES could check them. ~ blow_fly98
You know, that's a hell lot of work. What about a rule that everyone has to report at least one post whenever he logs in? Or an auto-report function? ~ Reaper
I liked the report-part until we got to the point of an auto-report function. That's something that requires work --> No. ~ Blue Phoenix
Finally, I get to see some invisible users. *sniggers* ~ blow_fly98
Oh, i came back. Well, since im already here, i may as well shoot bees ~ Alectric
You know, the ducks are watching. Always watching... ~ SirFrog
Hmm, I think, Lauli is about to climax due to the awesomeness of this color-wall ~ Blue Phoenix

Everything ease does but LF2 Doesn't Emulate with Wine, and it has no reason found till now. Does Sun Virtual Box work in Linux(Ubuntu)???

That's True. I was also Fed-up of Windows, and Linux is much faster and nice that Windows. I would prefer Linux and Mac for sure, instead of Windows and I recommend others also to try them.
