hmm..........i tried dvd-r but had no success also. is it at all possible to play metal slug 5 and other neo geo roms from the hardrive with another emulator etc? if so how? (i have also put fbaX onto the harddrive and patched the default.xbe but that will also not detect the metal slug 5 roms) are roms ok as.rar or do they have to be unzipped? apologies as i am new to the neo geo scene and it seems a little more complicated than standard xbox emulators. Basically, all i want to do is have a neo geo emulator on my HDD which will play all the old games including the new (KoF 2k3 and MS 5) cheers
