SNKP used a bootleg Metal Slug 5 in the PSP compile of Metal Slug Anthology.

After checking files from *.POD in the UMD, U can notice P1, M1 & V's match an old bootleg. V roms 're watermarked as in the boot, & P1 's an incorrect one (a decrypted one with bankswitching not removed + swap of the second and third Mb of the P rom).
Even if M1 & V roms (samples) 're not used in MS Anthology, they 're included in this compile.

From the POD file :
268-m1.rom crc32 6FA01C9A
268-p1.rom crc32 3F1CF3D2
268-v1.rom crc32 C3540E0D
268-v2.rom crc32 077BD2F4
268-v3.rom crc32 39B14567
268-v4.rom crc32 969FF3B2

It's a shame...

So what difference does it make? Doesn't SNK own the IP properties of said game? It's technically still their property even if it matches a boot.

So how does this affect the game?

I know that it remains their property. But how can SNK-P fans expect buying bootleg games with possible bugs (don't forget that these crappy boots killed NeoGeo) in a disguised compilation from SNKP itself ?

Could it be possible the bootleg used roms from a stolen SNK prototype? It would explain why it doesn't match the official release. I know the first Garou boots used proto roms.

Anyway I don't really see the big deal. BTW, I think some official Neo Geo compilation for PC actually had a mame.dk doc inside the rom zips...:rolleyes:

This is the worst manufactured drama I've seen in a long time.

Who really gives a shit?

Yeah man, this collection could have been great.

But all the MS:A ports suck for one reason or another.

Another great idea, poor execution scenario.

Metal Slug still reigns supreme on the NEO

too bad we cant recompile those POD and fill it with other roms from other games to use Anthology as an MVS emulator!

oh yeah, we already have one for psp.:multi_co:

The only thing Anthology is good for is MS6.

PEE REE ODD.

No, it's been confirmed the ROMs used by SNKP are from the first MS5 ROMset to appear on the net, which was made from a boot, not a proto. They probably just downloaded that without even checking whether it was a proper dump or not.
Hell, they shouldn't have to download anything in the first place, they could dump it themselves and should also have the game sources...

Whoa. It's been getting pretty boring around here lately, so I guess Stifu is a good start to get the drama going again :smirk:

P.S. - This post is the same as the year I was born 1977...that's all. Nothing to see here, move along.

Well, I guess it's easier to just download it instead on having to look for it in the ol' warehouse...

Meh, I don't give a fuck. Everybody and their mamas downloaded that rom, I don't see why SNKP can't do that themselves, they have more rights to do that than anybody.

lol.

how much does anyone want to wager that the person complaining about the use of a bootleg file never bought the game, but rather downloaded it. I'd say the odds are good.

Wow, that's amazing stuff right there.

When did you start working for SNK?

Oh wait... no one can "confirm" shit about where it came from. Unless you are an SNK employee, it's mostly just baseless speculation with information that is arguably legit.

Go back to your daily lives.

This's not a speculation. First boot carts of KoF 2k3 & Metal Slug 5 came from PCB ver. before the official carts releases by SNKP.

It isn't a speculation, it is real.
