Metal Slug 6

[Nuttymad]

The new features are much appreciated, but I still encountered freezing. This time on the second level.

strange, I can not identify the dependence of freezes, for some reason not all freezes
I personally completed the game twice yesterday, on an easy level and on a hard one without restarting the console

Good news. I just completed easy mode on a fresh SD card and there was no slowdown on my MODE. I'll try hard mode a little later.

Maybe it doesn't like being played on hard drives that are almost full?

i'm curious, have you looked into porting a dreamcast game to the atomiswave?

reverse porting is possible, but I definitely won't do it, I'm not interested in arcade machines
if I ever get interested in an arcade machine, I'll assemble it from DreamCast, I have access to a laser engraver to make a case, the controller can be made by myself (my previous project on STM32), and as a storage medium I can use a CF card (8GB is enough for all Atomiswave games)

lol fair enough, still i hope someone decides to do that because it would be a fun project to mess with and given the atomiswave library is so small it would be nice to add to it.

it looks like IP.BIN turned out to be corrupted
works on demul CDI, but not on GDEMU
I will redo and post a new image, but before that I will check it on GDEMU

Thanks for not giving up on the cdi image. Who knows maybe if it works the rest of your ports can also be gdi+cdi releases to reach maximum amount of people.

Its very early stages. Im sure all options people want can be made so to their likings in the end, with full CDI support.

More good news. Completed hard mode on the same SD card. All smooth. I'll probably have to break up my library.

Thanks a lot.

now a little about the settings
Atomiswawe saves settings to SRAM
SRAM size is 128 kilobytes, but actually only 12 kilobytes are used

In theory, would it be possible to route the SRAM settings (and thus also high scores) to be saved on the VMU instead of the SRAM of the Dreamcast?

the code of atomiswave games is built on more new compilers and is well optimized, there is no place to add your own functions
and 25 blocks to save one game is a great luxury

Anyone having problems loading the latest version with GDEMU?

I have a GDEMU with firmware 5.20.3 (the one that fixed RE:CV) and the latest gdi, appears in the menu, but it doesn't play it. (In fact, the MS6 Artwork, doesn't show in the menu) and when I hit start, it goes straight to the DC bios menu.

It works fine with the old version.
