Seems like I will have to repeat this message every once in a while: DO NOT REQUEST ROMS OR LINKS TO ROM SITES HERE. Any such requests will be deleted.
guys if you press 'coin' and 'start' at the same time after the game loads you will get the menu for dipswitch and autofire settings
Great, I just love spamming the insert coin button on Metal Slug. It reminds me of the times as a kid that I only ever had enough for one go...........not anymore
Thanks for being so accommodating to us emu junkies. It's gotta be a stressful thread to watch, because you never know when a post will cross the line. Thanks for giving us a place to chat about this amazing app!
I'm a fan too, and, trust me, iMAME is like the best Christmas present I've gotten in years. But folks need to do their own homework on this one. TA cannot be seen as either condoning or encouraging ROM sharing.
You should use your mod powers to add that to the first post. I posted the same message three times before I realized that I wasn't going crazy and that they were just getting deleted.
How do we change players? I.E. Simpsons TMNT?? Edit, answer found: Press coin and start after game loads
Hold the direction up and press coin to add coins to 2nd player. Hold right for 3rd. Hold down for 4th. Same for player start.
video sync Anyone know specifically what video sync does? Metal Slug 2 runs slow with video sync on but super fast with it off. The only description i could find was in the wiki: - Video Sync: Normal: Single buffer and dirty buffer is used. DblBuf: Double buffer without dirty buffer. OFF: No video synchronization, use manual frameskip. But i still don't understand what its doing.
Has anyone gotten Cave's other game Dangun Feveron to work other? And are there any others compatible outside of that and DoDonpachi? I'd love to play Gunwange on it.
Thats in the game itself. I own several neo geo mvs machines and thats just the way it is. They released metal slug X to combat the issues. The order in which they were released goes as follows: Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5, Metal Slug 6 (only available on atomiswave). Anyhow for metal slug 2 you just play it how it is, there is no fix for it. Metal Slug X is not on the supported list so there is no fix. But rest assured everyone playing metal slug 2 will have slowdown on every platform.
To answer your other question video sync skips frames based on the clock speed. So it runs 2 seperate clocks and resyncs the game clock to the clock running in the background that keeps track of the pace it should be emulated at. This is done to make games playable on hardware that might not be capable of running the game otherwise. For example if the game is suppose to run at 30fps and your hardware is only capable of producing 24fps then 6 frames per second would need to be skipped in order for the graphics to sync up with everything else. Otherwise you'd be 6 frames per second behind every second.
Truly an amazing and app and wonderful christmas present! I can't believe this is finally a reality. I'm playing some of my arcade favorites in flawless rendition on my telephone... Thank you so much for making this!!!
Hi, still getting the crash to springboard when trying to open the options menu. Ipad 2 running os 4.3.1, not jailbroken. Hope there's a fix as I want to change the analog stick to the digital one. Got to the in game menu by pressing "coin" and "start". Thanks!
