Metal Slug 3

[ozzyfreakdude]

This isn't a problem specific to the Pandora, because the desktop version of gngeo acts in the same way. I figured somebody here might have a clue, though, since it's a pretty popular game.


I've been pulling my hair out trying to get Metal Slug 3 working in GnGeo. I've gotten all of the other Metal Slug games to work, but MS3 just won't cooperate. I've done everything that every thread I could find online has said, and it crashes on me.


Generally the graphics are garbled. That's fine, but even when I use decrypted p and c roms, they're STILL garbled


There's a rom driver which decrypts the graphics itself (mslug3n), which I can get to load the unibios logo without graphic corruption - telling me that I have it decrypted correctly. However, it then crashes.


The xgngeo frontend doesn't display the entire output. The frontend displays the following error message:


Gngeo returned the following message:


Convert tile [*************************************************************


But if I try to launch the rom directly from the terminal (from my desktop), I get more detail:


patrick@Patrick-Desktop:~$ gngeo "/home/patrick/.gngeo/Roms/Testing/mslug3n.zip"


Decrypt GFX [******************************************************************


Convert tile [*************************************************************Segmentation fault


Basically the tile finishes converting, the game tries to launch, and then it crashes with a segmentation fault.


Any ideas? Has anybody gotten it to work at all in gngeo?

I think I have gotten all to work but Metal Slug 5. I think the reason 5 crashes is because of how big the rom file is. Could be wrong.

On second thought, I went back to double check on ms5, and it actually does have garbled graphics as well. But not until you're in the game - the neo geo logo isn't garbled at all.


What did you have to do in order to get ms3 working?
