AgeMAME added to first post.

changelog added

I wrote the driver for what they call kof96ep, and posted it on Romshare. Now it appears, letter-perfect, in mameplus emu. They did not ask permission to use it in a public emulator, nor did they give any credit. If they had asked, I would have allowed it - but I always require credits be given.

So they've moved. They are code stealers. They used my source code and didn't give credit.

Forget what I said about samsho5, I wasn't even using that code. Now removed. I used a similar idea to you, but it's not game-dependent. /* the S data comes from the end fo the C data */ { int i; int tx_size = memory_region_length(REGION_GFX1); UINT8 *src = memory_region(REGION_GFX3)+rom_size-tx_size; UINT8 *dst = memory_region(REGION_GFX1); //-----------------modified by robbbert --------------------- only do this if there is no s1 rom present---------- if (dst[0] == 0) { for (i = 0;i < tx_size;i++) dst[i] = src[(i & ~0x1f) + ((i & 7) << 2) + ((~i & 8) >> 2) + ((i & 0x10) >> 4)]; } } I only added the line beginning with "if" - which means it will work for any game in this circumstance.

Never say die! ms5plus: Found a very embarrasing mistake, once this was fixed the game started, with corrupt graphics. Since the graphics roms were the same as mslug5, I added the kof2000_neogeo line. Now the graphics were fixed, but the flashing PLUS was gone. Hmmm. Decided to investigate neocrypt.c and made a modification which fixed the problem. This mod allows a s1 rom to overrule the inbuilt text on any game of this type in the future. The final code for ms5plus: ROM_START( ms5plus ) ROM_REGION( 0x800000, REGION_CPU1, 0 ) ROM_LOAD16_WORD_SWAP( "268-p1p.bin", 0x000000, 0x100000, CRC(106b276f) ) ROM_LOAD16_WORD_SWAP( "268-p2p.bin", 0x100000, 0x200000, CRC(d6a458e8) ) ROM_LOAD16_WORD_SWAP( "268-p3p.bin", 0x300000, 0x200000, CRC(439ec031) ) NEO_SFIX_128K( "268-s1p.bin", CRC(21e04432) ) NEO_BIOS_SOUND_256K( "268-m1d.bin", CRC(6866d696) SHA1(3638b072e44277a6bffea5a78a915a14c6afcba0) ) ROM_REGION( 0x1000000, REGION_SOUND1, 0 ) ROM_LOAD( "268-v1d.bin", 0x000000, 0x800000, CRC(14848c5c) ) ROM_LOAD( "268-v2d.bin", 0x800000, 0x800000, CRC(696cce3b) ) ROM_REGION( 0x4000000, REGION_GFX3, 0 ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c1.bin", 0x0000000, 0x800000, CRC(27d59de8) SHA1(0447a675d885721cedc079788cf41ae3f797834b) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c2.bin", 0x0000001, 0x800000, CRC(e600dee1) SHA1(e55e5a25616c4daf09692d1b53a92d6f31e842ac) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c3.bin", 0x1000000, 0x800000, CRC(b650f098) SHA1(4cd729153bd5b2054fbe10c96d2bb370084d1d24) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c4.bin", 0x1000001, 0x800000, CRC(10499589) SHA1(24542a3b70080e5a61fdab04ab314450a1d821ef) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c5.bin", 0x2000000, 0x800000, CRC(19352405) SHA1(5ee255403739c11a65608dcff0984480f067d824) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c6.bin", 0x2000001, 0x800000, CRC(b1531523) SHA1(786f342dbb7fea50139d6421e5b82e551772bf0a) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c7.bin", 0x3000000, 0x800000, CRC(fe2c1338) SHA1(de9d257574881dd1684956f60011a20c1dd5a0d9) ) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "268-c8.bin", 0x3000001, 0x800000, CRC(ecce3141) SHA1(103247b57f8ea5746dd1cf92dda95a6dc9268c78) ) ROM_END //-------------------------------------------------------ms5plus DRIVER_INIT ( ms5plus ) { kof2000_neogeo_gfx_decrypt(0x19); sx_decrypt(1); neogeo_fix_bank_type = 1; init_neogeo(); }

Are you saying they had a drug policy before? Could've fooled me!

Upgraded to 0.102, and found that mamedev had changed a few things. All fixed and working. ms5plus: ok, the rom problem is settled, and I've progressed to getting the red screen, but that's it. I give up on this one.

The keyboard on that game would have to be unique!

I can only make use of what i've got. There's no point making a driver if it can't be tested.

kf2k2pls: I found I had the decrypted roms, and it ran straight away. problem solved. ms5plus: That's a really old driver, and I don't have the v roms. I've tried mixing/matching, but no luck yet. What I've got is the set for kawaks 1.48/dev, so I'd like to get it working with that one if possible.

They call it an unlocker now. Go to Google, and search for unlocker+nebula+2.25

I'm not impressed with myself after that. I already had all that code - except for the line that mattered. if (!strcmp(Machine->gamedrv->name,"cthd2003") || !strcmp(Machine->gamedrv->name,"ct2k3sp"))I only had cthd2003 there, don't know how I could have overlooked it. Thanks James, it works fine now. Metal Slug 5 Plus- does anyone have the driver? Lastly I've been looking at the kof96m_ep1.rom, it's either corrupt or encrypted?? Any answers? EDIT: never mind, I got the kof96m_ep1.rom encryption sorted out, and it works. Still need a working ms5plus driver though !!

Yes they've changed it back. Perhaps it was an early April Fool's joke.

It would make a mess of the tuxemu news service. Take a look at http://news.tuxemu.com and you'll see what I mean.
