Very nice, mslug5nd needn't S1 rom, so it can run perfectly instead of kof2knd (replaced with rotdn). Then, you can add CTHD 2003 (the game isn't censored in Winkawaks 1.47) in a new default.xbe with original romsets to use it instead of garoup (Garou MotW prototype) -> You can always use garoun (Garou MotW predecrypted). Yea, thats a good point X theres no need to run GarouP if you have Garoun.....just add cthd2k3 to your normal kawa-x.

Someones answered this question: MAXXXKKK Posted: Jan 6 2004, 01:24 PM Well new P1 of 6M for Kawaks has been release and works great on Kawa-X SE, I put the Rom of Metal Slug 5 in the place of svcbl.zip and its woking at 100%. Anyway I prefer SVCPLUS.zip

Theres room for it if you make room. Really upto Mr. X. How? Get rid of one of the SVC romsets =move ROTD from kof2k to one of the SVC locations Place Mslug5 in kof2k set I have heard things about ROTD not performing as it should using kof2k driver due to the lack of S rom. Metal Slug 5 has no problem running without the S rom this is why i suggest this. Doing this you will have all of the following: SVC of your choice (plus or bootleg) -just depends on if you want it unlocked or not King of fighters 2k2 Metal slug4 Metal Slug5 Rage of the Dragons Power Instinct Matrimelee Samurai Shodown V Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2003 I have all of these roms running currently on my Kawa-X (not SE - me too lazy) The only thing that i see will happen in the future for KOF2k3 is that it will take the place of CTHD2003 (which really shouldnt be supported as its not even a legit snk/playmore game - but what the hell) Id be happy to make the changes as soon as i can. Im working on other things right now though that deal with another Emulator.

Yup. Im sure Gouki is workin on an update to SE

that new p1 you mention is the NEORAGEX p1 rom and it does not work. At least when i tested it. It was written specifically for neoragex along with a hack to the emulator in order for it to run. As soon as i got my hands on the p1 i tested it right away. I tested the P1 and M1 that are used for neoragex. the game loaded with same characteristics as before.

Metal Slug 5 on NeorageX CONFIRMED Just to let you know there has been a release of a new P1 rom and NeorageX version that runs Metal Slug 5. I can confirm this as working and not a hoax. So rejoice and keep an eye out! Others that might be wondering: I have NOT tested this new archive in Kawaks or Nebula. I HAVE tested on kawa-x (xbox) emulator and it does NOT work. I was pretty eager to test it out, so i might have goofed but i am pretty sure i did everything correct. (the rom loads up and we still get the same scrambled graphics). ill take a look at it again just to make sure i wrote everything correctly but if the rom loads up and runs....its usually an indication that i did not make an error on the xbe. at least we know.

As expected, today a representative of the Team of Dumpers responsible for the ROM of the metal slug 5 has authorized the release of a p1 to us that works in Neoragex. that was translated..........here we go again.......keep an eye out for a new p1 and neoragx that RUNS mslug5.

Based on some info announced in another forum apparently the chinese plan on celebrating their new year (jan 25th) with a release of GAROU FINAL (not prototype)...........as far as this goes, i have no clue what all is improved or how it is any different than the current romsets........... what caught my eye though was that on MONDAY (i guess later today) there will be news of the date when a fixed P rom will be out along with a new version of NEORAGEX that supports Metal SLug 5........ I know weve all gone over the mslug5 stuff left and right but hey, its news and with that brings new hope......... hopefully there will indeed be a version of mslug5 comin to other emus soon. time will tell.

well thats to be expected man, i saw on a Top Site not too long ago a release of Kawa-X that played all the Unsupported roms........lol It was Kawa-X Plus.........any credit? hell no....... lol just keep doin what you do man, the hell with those beeyatches!

hex editor is needed ofcourse for the save change info. If your just lookin to change the name of the xbe and dont use avalaunch or xToolbox. theres a tool called xberenamer that you can use on your pc. Find it here: http://dwl.xbox-scene.net/~xbox/xbox-scene..._Renamer0.8.zip

I cant really speak for Mr.X with regards to all this but i can add my thoughts. Personally, i still do the Kawa-X Plus thing, always have always will (personally) because renaming the roms is extremely fast and easy with regards to testing (and believe me ive done some crazy things to test out Metal Slug5). I initially released Plus to the public because i figured it was convenient and would help people out. Im a lazy bastard though and would have never gone through the trouble Mr.X did. Mr. X took it to the next level and painstakingly went into the xbe and did a lot of re-writing so that the emulator would be EVEN MORE user friendly and follow emultaion-standards (great thing). As far as his intent with it, i think basically he shared his work with everyone. When i was messing around with stuff, i released "patches", etc but as far as I know, PLUS always said "Kawa-X Plus" on the dashboard -you can download it now from the site and run it and you will see this. ----BUt i didnt do that for everyone, i did it for myself so i can distinguish PLUS from the regular kawa-x. With SE i think you all got the same, something that Mr. X uses as he uses it, he didnt create it for the masses but released TO the masses for everyone to enjoy. All the changes mentioned are very simple and perhaps he will consider them for future releases but its not that big a deal IMO. With regards to the SAVE stuff.......Kudos to Faceless for sharing his discovery with everyone as i know it has helped a lot of users. Thats what this is all about, helping everyone enjoy their experience playing Neo-Geo games without limitaions. So whatever contributions you all can share with everyone here, go ahead and do it. Metal Slug 5 is a biatch by the way. lol

well kawa-x se supports what like 8games? how about just putting those roms in the kawa-x se roms directory and mapping it to that? that way it just deals with its roms and kawa-x deals with its own? its not like youll have to move a lot of roms to accomplish this. just a suggestion

THanks for the Image V, now i know you got the same shizzy we all have. and that shizzy dont wizzy on kawizzy my nizzy. peace

Yea, how do you know your rom is for kawaks? bust out a link preese

well they were already working in kawa-x plus but just get Kawa-X SE.......no renaming hassles

Ill agree that the dump is not correct. As far as the V roms........there may not be 4 but there is 16mb in V roms between the 2. normally there are 4vs 4mb each.......so we have 16mb of V roms the problem is P1 and one or several of the Cs i was told C6 and p1 were bad, but who knows.

Just to let you know that the current roms for Metal Slug 5 do not run in Kawa-X Here is an image of the romsets/crcs and some in-game screenshots of it running on kawa-x as-is. (no changes were made to V or P roms, etc. If anyone can see that the CRCs for the C roms are in a wrong order from something else you know of, or if you see anything that seems out of place fromt he Roms show, let me know asap. Oh yea and if you try to run it in Console mode, this is what you get: im sure the corrected Cs or P will be out soon though, so stay tuned for the next update to Mr.X Kawa-SE!!!

It may be possible but highly improbable. The best bet for everyone is if someone were to re-compile FBAx to add the unsupported roms into the build. Ive seen a FBAX w/ SSV support but not the others........(doesnt make sense to me) Something i was wanting to play around with as soon as i had the spare time. Imagine being able to have all your romsets in 1 emulator without taking the place of any other roms.......... FBAX could be the answer.

I personally do not believe that kof2k3 will be available anytime soon (mslug5 - who knows....maybe very likely). Dont keep your hopes up folks

Sorry you went through all that but as a rule, you should always have backups. Anyway, I am simply shifting to the new way of emulation for kawa-x. Once the information came out on the hex editing, it changed the way we do things to get these "banned" roms to work. Mr. X has put a lot of effort into manually changing/ inputing the original romset names into the xbe and should be commended for his work. It is also better for the end-user to simply download a rom and plug it into his emulator (whichever it may be) ---this is the way it has always been. So in a matter of speaking were moving forward and at the same time moving back to the old way of doing things -----the standard in the emulation scene. Merry Christmas to all. N30Ghost

Yea i basically leave the work to the end-user and minimize the ammount of work that I have to do. I also dont have any reason to add SVCBL and SVCplus since IMO they are 1 and the same, either you want the characters/plus on the rom or you dont....... thats just me though. I recommend Mr.X version if you are new to all this and havent already messed with Kawa-X Plus. I also added the support for samsho5 very quickly, did some simple stuff like the renaming of the rom, which is much faster for testing than to change it internally within the xbe. Please take note though EVERYONE MIGRATE TO MR.X VERSION NOW!!!! THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO MORE KAWA_X PLUS DEFAULT.XBEs from this release on out. So Mslug5 and Kof2k3 will not be supported on Kawa-X Plus..... Current kawa-x plus user: use your holiday time to switch over to Mr. X New to all this?=== just get Mr. X version now!

Sorry i didnt respond sooner. Yes it is fully playable in kawa-x. It runs with all the other roms also....... Snk Vs Capcom: Chaos The King of Fighters 2002 Metal SLug 4 Power Instinct: Matrimelee Rage of the Dragons Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2003 and now Samurai Showdown 5

well send me the C8 lol someone

I just need the C8 rom and it will be ready on Kawa-X plus
