Metal slug aes4all

[247]

Simple question, considering metal slug 3, 4 and 5 are on the neo geo, why no one ported it to the dc with aes4all?they are not working or too powerful?or simply no one tried?

[aldair]

They were tested all, only worked metal 1, 2 and 5. Metal slug 5 if played on the cd will greatly force the optical drive and no music. Today emulators using mmu need to be designed for sd card, ide and gdemu use.

Ah that's a shame, thanks anyway

It could be done you have to mod the convertneo tool mod the romrc and aes4all in theory it
could load all neogeo games. It's chui's project i dont think i should do this. 3 and 4 would work if the roms were fixed

beta 4 could read the prefech from the sd card did not need to use the cdrom
from chui

Now, AES4ALL has SD-Card support (yes, MMU using SD instead CD is more fast, so more playable for large NeoGeo roms) and fixes Yamaha timmings:

Chui gave up the SD card for the low rate of the device.

Well it's better then trashing the gdrom. it needs updating for hardrive and gdemu. What im saying is geoneo emulator it's based on runs metalslug 3 and 4 people over at dingo a320 have moded the convertneo tool to load any neogeo game. with aes4all forum post about over there really about it.. There is no pre files for these to convert the roms in the release.

I think Metal Slug 1 and 2 came out on neogeo CD, in that case, those versions would probably run way better on neo4all than trying to do the AES versions on AES4all.

I watched the video looks like it runs good to me. back in the day emulation that good we would of killed for..

Only thing why metal slug 3 does not work is the romset were missing a rom ms3-s1.rom find that and it works i use to have it back in the day i have moved country since i dont have it.. just added that. we had the romset for 3 correct like this we can make a proper pre file it be fine.

add this to your romrc this code replaces the non working one. romset you can hack together your self from sets but we still need ms3-s1.rom if you have that i can get it working. I also have the correct code for metal slug 4 as well.
