I'm curious to know if there is a herostat within MUA1 (for starters) and if it has a roster limitation (or the .EXE)

The old .exe is 32kb.  The one for the "remastered" is 11.3mb.  Kind of a huge difference in size.  I'm assuming the herostat (if they still use it) is in the data.bin file but that file is only 1.55mb in size so it's kinda small but I guess that's the compression of .bin for you.

For giggles I tried dropping the new .exe in the old game install folder and I can't get that game to launch because it still keeps launching the steam version.  Command line arguments like -nosteam just to not have to launch Steam for it don't seem to make a difference, it just does what it wants.  I guess I could just copy the entirety of the old game in the Steam folder to see, but I don't feel like doing it right now.  I'll do it later.  I'm too tired to tinker around with it more, and I had my dad's funeral today so I'm not really in the mood for it either.

Also no file or save conflict with the new and old version of MUA.  So no worries there.
Some day, someone will best me.  But it won't be today, and it won't be you.

@DJay Saint -- I would move the .bin files to a totally different part of your machine, then copy the old MUA files into the  Steam version's folder, just to ensure that it doesn't have a chance to load any bins.

Thanks for the quick reply! I hope you feel better soon.

You and your family have my condolences for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Aw, man.  Sorry for your loss.  My dad passed away back in January, so I definitely understand.  I'll be praying for you and your family

My condolences, I will pray for you and your family too.

I really wished there's a program that can mod BIN files like the mod program tools for DOA5LR:
http://w11.zetaboards.com/SFxT_Mods/forum/4220224/
http://w11.zetaboards.com/SFxT_Mods/topic/11590308/1/ (on extras & updated tools)
http://www.freestepdodge.com/forums/modding.73/

Has anyone check if there something missing on characters' sounds? Storm, Thor & Colossus mostly?

I think, that it wiil be good idea, if anybody can upload one of this 'bin' files here.
Maybe Daemon Tools or  ePSXe program can help...
"There was an idea. To bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the battles we never could."

-_- halt... isn't ePSxe for PS1. For bin, i would suggest you go to z-...

Tested Bms script with some samples (which provided Panzerdroid from zenhax) looks like .bin it's just compressed archive or something..
So,this is what i got after unpacking "subtitles.bin"

P.S XMLBCUI Works with these files fine :)

Now I know nothing about modding but looking at the files from MUA 2 it seems fairly moddable if you can get through the .bin files. Each hero has their own herostat file that looks very similar to the first game to me.

e.g. XMLB characters {
   stats {
   aiforceranged = true ;
   ailevel = 1 ;
   autospend = dps_melee ;
   body = 7 ;
   canperformfusion = true ;
   characteranims = 07_captamerica ;
   charactername = Captain America ;
   level = 1 ;
   menulocation = 6 ;
   mind = 4 ;
   name = CaptainAmerica ;
   playable = true ;
   powerstyle = ps_captainamerica ;
   scriptlevel = 3 ;
   shoesize = 2 ;
   skin = 0701 ;
   skin_01_name = Ultimate ;
   skin_02 = 02 ;
   skin_02_name = Classic ;
   sounddir = captainamerica_bank ;
   strength = 7 ;
   team = hero ;
   vodir = captainamerica_bank_v ;

}

That's just the first I saw. As for a collective herostat I could just see a very basic one in charinfo.xmlb.
