Dr Neo Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) I also loaded up my mslug5 in Kawaks 1.46p, and i get messed up graphics! But everything else seem to work correct (sound etc). Well...what is wrong or missing now?? Edited December 29, 2003 by Dr Neo
cloud79 Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Hi guys! Let's make some sense to the mslug5 ROM.. Here is what I've found: I've tried a complete decrypted romset switching between two different P1 roms..Here is my romset: note the presence of two different P1 roms, those are the ones different that I've found on internet...The first "268_p1.rom" of 8 MB and the second "ms5_p1.rom" of 5 MB... So I've tried to start the game with Nebula 2.23d + loader using the following DAT: System: NEO RomName: mslug5nd Game: Metal Slug 5 (Fully Decrypted) [Program] 268_p1.rom,0,800000,3f1cf3d2,0 [Text] 268_s1.rom,0,20000,64952683,0 [Z80] 268_m1.rom,0,20000,6fa01c9a,0 [Samples] 268_v1.rom,0,400000,c3540e0d,0 268_v2.rom,400000,400000,77bd2f4,0 268_v3.rom,800000,400000,39b14567,0 268_v4.rom,C00000,400000,969ff3b2,0 [Graphics] 268_c1.rom,0,800000,969c0d62,0 268_c2.rom,1,800000,c69ae867,0 268_c3.rom,1000000,800000,d7beaeaf,0 268_c4.rom,1000001,800000,e1b1131b,0 268_c5.rom,2000000,800000,2fa1a5ad,0 268_c6.rom,2000001,800000,6de89589,0 268_c7.rom,3000000,800000,97bd0c0a,0 268_c8.rom,3000001,800000,c0d5bc20,0 [System] CartridgeID: 268 GfxCrypt: 0 GfxKey: 0 ButLayout: 9 Fix: 0 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% after the roms scan it appears to be a valid romset (green color) I launch the game, the nebula charges all the roms and it seems to start but here's an error: so it's the time to try with the other P1 rom.. so I've changed the DAT at the Program voice: [Program] ms5_p1.rom,0,500000,e2e6617a,0 the rom is recognized, the program loads it and surprise it starts!!but if the NeoGeo Option Mode is set to CONSOLE, here is the result: and if the NeoGeo Mode is set to ARCADE, here is the result: You can note from the images that the graphics are completely scrambled.. even if the game is playable..The only thing that you can't note is audio.. it seems very good with no problems or scratchs... In my personal opinion it seems to be a good romset but we must wait for the release of a correct P1 rom that orders the graphics messed up.. So I advise to wait and to have patience because the fully playable romset will be out very soon.. hopefully before the end of the year.. Bye and happy new Metal Slug year to all!!

somecninj Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Well, Ive been wathcing all this mslug5 stuff for the last couple of days . This morning I was checking through some ftp's that had some mslug5 "stuff" and I found this interesting.txt file with a dat in it. Here it is:%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%System: NEORomName: mslug5ndGame: mslug5 [Program]268-p1d.bin,0,800000,9F2DBA3D,0 [Text]268-s1.bin,0,20000,64952683,0 [Z80]268-m1d.bin,0,20000,6FA01C9A,0 [samples]268-v1.bin,0,400000,C3540E0D,0268-v2.bin,400000,400000,77BD2F4,0268-v3.bin,800000,400000,39B14567,0268-v4.bin,C00000,400000,969FF3B2,0 [Graphics]268-c1d.bin,0,800000,969C0D62,0268-c2d.bin,1,800000,C69AE867,0268-c3d.bin,1000000,800000,D7BEAEAF,0268-c4d.bin,1000001,800000,E1B1131B,0268-c5d.bin,2000000,800000,2FA1A5AD,0268-c6d.bin,2000001,800000,6DE89589,0268-c7d.bin,3000000,800000,97BD0C0A,0268-c8d.bin,3000001,800000,C0D5BC20,0 [system]CartridgeID: 268GfxCrypt: 0GfxKey: 0ButLayout: 9Fix: 0 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RED Evasion268-P1d122A:0067?¨754E A screen is dirty. I found 2 things interesting about this dat. Note the text at the bottom about the p1 rom, and also note [Program]268-p1d.bin,0,800000,9F2DBA3D,0. ANOTHER P1 rom . Maybe this is the correct P1 rom we need. Does anybody have this p1 rom(note the crc)? Anyways, thats the info i gathered for today, besides more screenshots of it running with scrambled graphics .
James Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Guess we all wait for the P1 rom then huh i doubt it is the p rom more like an issue with the c roms
Agozer Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Just wait for the actual rom release and don't fret over corrupted graphics at this point
emsley Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Just wait for the actual rom release and don't fret over corrupted graphics at this pointYeah i totaly agree, if it was fixabile it would be fixed buy now i bet there were hundreds of people tryiing to fix it i was one of them Any whos "if they build it! it will come"
Agozer Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Guess we all wait for the P1 rom then huh i doubt it is the p rom more like an issue with the c roms It depends on what roms are encrypted.
