  1. The hacked NRX is the one that had the password, right? Or is there a even more recent one, made specifically for Mslug5?

     

    Edit: Man, so many forums... Alright, just read some threads in the Current news or whatever forum. From the comments, it seems that there is yet another hacked ver. of NRX for Mslug5. Confirmation, anyone? Anyway, guess that answers my question.

     

    Damnit, so many hacked versions popping out left and right. Would love to just play all my roms in just one emulator.

    Metal Slug 5 needs a special hack of NeoRAGEx that can be found at Neogamez.

    MS5 does not work in any other NRX, I've tested it.

     

    The special hack doesn't need a password.

  2. i have the 512kb s1 file that fixes that.

     

    i just dont think i could send e-mails to everybody who wishes to have it (i just dont have the patience and the time).

    Suit yourself. I don't really mind the corrupt text anymore... :(

    It's been there so long that I hardly notice it anymore.

  3. my first was secret of mana 3 or SEIKEN DENSETSU3. on hte Snesx, i thought ill never get a chance to play cuz it came out n japan but hell tha game impress me pushes the Super nintendo limits, just give me a brand new mana game for Gamecube and ill be goooooood to go :P

    Seken Densetsu 3 is Secret of Mana 2... Secret of Mana was Seiken Densetsu 2 in Japan. Final Fantasy Adventure for Gameboy was Seiken Densetsu in Japan.

  4. Let me give out my 2 cents on this...

     

    1. Differen't romsets, different hardware. Neo-Geo roms are either in.bin or.rom format (only.rom for NeoRAGEx,.bins work in Kawaks, Nebula and MAME). A Neo-Geo set contains P (program), C (graphics), V (samples), M (Z80 processor instructions) and S (text) roms... Sometimes there isn't an S rom because the data for S is stored in some other rom (usually the P1 rom).

     

    Now for the CPS/CPS-2 stuff

     

    CPS-1 roms' filenames might seem odd at first glance, because the filenames (inside the zip) rarely look the same. CPS games work on CPS emulators as is, because there's no encryption in them....Unlike it's big brother, which brings me to:

     

    CPS-2 roms consist of files usually named xxxx.01-xxxx.25, but sometimes the game only needs a few of these, not a full scale 01-25 and the files don't always go in order (there are cases where 02-09 files don't even exist, but the games has 10-20. In addition to the actual files, CPS-2 games need specific XOR tables released by the dudes at CPS2Shock. XOR tables do away the encryption that the game has. XOR files in the archive have an "x" as the last letter before the actual extension.

     

    If you find CPS-2 games in the 'net, you most likely notice that the archives don't have the XOR tables in them. You have to get those separately.

     

    In short Neo-Geo games DO NOT work with a CPS/CPS-2 emulator (unless the emulator has support for Neo-Geo) and vice versa. It's a completely different hardware.

     

    2. What do you mean by this exactly?

     

    3. Indeed, MAME is by far the most flexible emulator out there. I don't use MAME myself, but that is my choice.

     

    3a. For Neo-Geo, I suggest that you try out Kawaks, Nebula and NeoRAGEx... NeoRAGEx is by far the easiest of the 3 to use, but it's outdated and doesn't support on-the-fly encryption of Neo-Geo games like Nebula and Kawaks. Nebula, Kawaks and MAME need specific drivers, whereas NeoRAGEx does not.

    NeoRAGEx has been discontinued, but several hacks from HappyASR are still 'on the anvil', so to speak.

     

    For CPS/CPS-2, use Final Burn Alpha (FBA), it also has Neo-Geo support. 'Nuff said.

    If you want to use just one emulator for everything, use MAME.

     

     

     

    Feel free to ask some more, if this wasn't clear enough. :unsure:
