More Information
Celestia is a free, multiplatform program that allows users to explore a 3D simulation of outer space. Optionally, users can modify a variety of Celestia's settings, such as:
- The databases from which Celestia loads celestial data
- The fonts Celestia uses
- The speed at which Celestia rotates objects
- The directory in which Celestia stores screenshots
These settings (and several others) are all defined in Celestia's celestia.cfg file.

A CFG file may also be a configuration file used by M.U.G.E.N, a free sprite-based game engine used to create 2D fighting games. It contains settings that control a fighting game's gameplay, sounds, and appearance. CFG files used with M.U.G.E.N are typically named mugen.cfg.
More Information
A M.U.G.E.N CFG file allows fighting game creators to modify their game's basic rules, including round time, game difficulty, game speed, combo damage multipliers, and more. It also allows creators to choose what resolution M.U.G.E.N shows their game at, as well as whether M.U.G.E.N should play sound effects and music. Advanced M.U.G.E.N users can customize a number of additional game-related settings using a CFG file.
M.U.G.E.N's default CFG file, mugen.cfg, is stored in the program's data folder. While you can edit game settings directly within mugen.cfg, it's recommended that you create a copy of the file before editing it, so you can easily revert M.U.G.E.N to its original settings if necessary.
Common CFG Filenames
mugen.cfg - The default configuration file included with M.U.G.E.N. It is located in the program's data folder.
How to open a CFG file
Because they are plain text documents, you can open mugen.cfg or any other M.U.G.E.N CFG file with any text editor. In Windows, you can open a CFG file with Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft WordPad. In macOS, you can use Apple TextEdit.
