How to play Mega Man Arena split screen on PC

  1. Get Nucleus Co-op

    Download Nucleus Co-op, free for Windows 10 and 11, and unzip it into its own folder, for example C:\NucleusCo-op. There is no installer.

    Keep it out of Program Files, your user folder and OneDrive.

    Download Nucleus Co-op

  2. Install the Mega Man Arena handler

    In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for Mega Man Arena and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where Mega Man Arena is installed.

  3. Take a seat

    Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.

  4. Launch and connect

    Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of Mega Man Arena per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.

What you need

  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC

    Nucleus Co-op runs on Windows only. System requirements

  • Mega Man Arena for Windows

    Installed on that PC. Nucleus starts every player's window from that one install.

  • Nucleus Co-op, free

    With .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later and the Visual C++ 2015–2022 runtimes (x86 and x64). Download

  • Something to play with

    One controller per player; one player can use the keyboard and mouse. Controllers

  • A PC that can run 4 copies

    Each player runs their own copy of Mega Man Arena, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips

  • A multiplayer mode

    Nucleus links the windows through the game's own LAN or online mode; the handler takes care of it.

Handler notes

  • Free Mega Man quality co-op fan game: https://www.megamanarena.com/

  • Split-screen setup guide.

  • Set your main game to windowed before running this. Host an online game in one instance and in the others in "Mode:" choose direct ip, select join, write 127.0.0.1 and press enter in your keyboard to join, click on or alt-tab to an instance to use the keyboard, if you can not connect more than 2 players exit the room in one instance, join with the instance that could not connect then join again with the instance that exited.

  • The game already has 4 players local co-op but with this handler each player gets his own screen and you can play splitscreen+online.

  • If the game windows resize or stretch on their own after you finish a match or when you get the p2p warning (select do not show again) use the Nucleus Co-op shortcut CTRL+T twice to fix them.

  • Read the FAQ if you have any further questions and want to know more about Nucleus Co-op.

About Mega Man Arena

Did you ever think that Mega Man wouldn't stand a chance if you could take control of Cut Man? Or that Flash Man could really do some damage if he could better use Time Stopper? Maybe Gemini Man could be way more deadly if he took better advantage of his clones? Well, prove it yourself in Mega Man Arena! Tired of all the in-fighting? Team up with allies to take on deadly boss fights. Whether it's the fearsome Mecha Dragon or the gargantuan Gamma, race against the clock for the best time!
