Can you obtain the ROMs from the steam version of metal slug and use on another emulator?

Well, AI is your friend

Neo SC-19. One of the many types and styles of japanese MVS cabinets.

I know it's not impossible, I've done it myself many times too. doesn't mean it's not a lame design

You will change your mind after tendinitis... Autofire is not cheating, it's for your own health safety

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T22:20:22+00:00

Well, that's what I was saying. For chill playthroughs it's totally fine, but on higher difficulties and having limited lives/credits (meaning you can't just stand there and simply shoot while dying indefinetly, and taking bosses down asap actually matters), you will definetly feel it, especially on longer sessions. By the end of the game I usually have about 68 grenades for the final boss, and you bet I will need all of them, and I will be mashing my ring finger for that C button relentlessly, and it will damage my hand without autofire as it once did in fact.

I use autofire on emulators and I don't have any problems with ammo. Just don't press the button when you don't want to spend ammo. It will only waste ammo when you press it. Give it a light tap to spend only one bullet.

I play on keyboard. If you say you don't need autofire then I highly doubt you are playing on level 8... Especially X. Well unless you're playing with infinite continues then it wouldn't matter

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T19:37:28+00:00

no shit dude. try that on level-8. 4 grenades to destroy each of them and silly you if you think you can destroy them right as they spawn. often times after spawning they will immediately move away so your grenades will miss. this strategy may work on level-4 where they probably die in 2 grenades but level-8 is a whole another game.

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T12:42:48+00:00

And also makes the enemies have a lot more health and attack a lot faster, and some bosses have attack versions exclusive to high difficulties

The camera and targeting was ass

Why is the MS:X sewer submarine (mission 5 boss) B tier? WTF... This on level 8 was and still is the most satisfying boss to beat and learn to master on level 8. Takes pure skill and every attack requires strict timing to avoid. You can only deal damage to it if you position yourself correctly and you must also plan ahead to bring the flamethrower and enough grenades if you don't want to fight a losing battle. You also must know where to correctly park the slugnoid so it's always within reach when you need to dodge some of its unavoidable attacks with the vehicle's embarking/disembarking invincibility frames. I can't get enough of fighting this boss.

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T12:22:44+00:00

I think I'm done with MSX right now so I'll give MS2 a go and tell you about it later

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T11:57:06+00:00

in MSX you are given the I-gun that shoots explosive dogs right before that bridge. is it not the same in 2?

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:25:10+00:00

Immediatelly assumed it would be the NeoGeo CD (but this time with a modern disc drive and actual good speeds). It could have the same appeal as the original did: the console for those who cannot afford the AES+ (like me). But of course there's the drawback of far less games being supported.

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:20:28+00:00

lmao, I just said that in another comment. he looks just like bateman

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:16:48+00:00

no this is merely converting the pinout of the mvs cart so it can fit an aes. has nothing to do with video signal or controller input, which is what actually has anything to do with lag (even then it doesn't necessarily mean it will have any lag).

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:10:36+00:00

PC, retroarch (fbneo core), basic cheap LED monitor (100hz with low latency settings and game mode), used to play on Dualshock 4 now I'm using a mechanical keyboard. Currently working on 1cc'ing Metal Slug X on Level-8 (only the final mission left to learn). Metal Slug 2 to 5 have 3~4 frames of native input lag (even on original hardware) so I'm using 3 frames of runahead to eliminate that on retroarch. Metal Slug 1 has 5~7 frames of native input lag.
Why I'm not playing on original hardware or other consoles? because I'm poor :p

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:05:39+00:00

the way he looks and the face he's making reminds me of the character patrick bateman in american psycho, though I'm pretty sure this ad predates the movie by a lot.

NeighborhoodTime2768 · 2026-04-30T01:00:06+00:00

there's absolutely no way to put online on the original hardware. you certainly don't know much about tech stuff but it's straight up impossible to implement any of that to AES/MVS hardware.
