not sure where/if i should ask this..

ok so you guys all know of metal slug anthology for psp.. well i ripped my copy of the game, and decided to look through the contens

i found the roms for 1,2,X,3,4,5 and the bios inside a folder.. i tried to add universe bios however that did not work..

this isnt like an emulator where you can select your own bios, so at first i thought i would have to replace an existing bios file...

therein lies the problem, i dont know which one to replace :P

i dunno as much as people here do.. but when i start one of the 6 games, the FREE PLAY logo is on the bottom and as soon as i press start the game directly goes to the char. selection screen, not to a main menu like the aes bios..

000.lo.lo
asia-s3.rom
sfix.sfx
sm1.sm1
sp-e.sp1
sp-j2.rom
sp-s.sp1
sp1.jipan.1024
usa-2slt.bin
vs-bios.rom

does anyone know which rom/roms the game loads by default?
it would be cool if i can get it to work with unibios..
any help is appreciated

lol

love the username

This would probably work better in the handheld section BTW .

can anyone move it? :P

I'd suggest that (for a start) you look for files of the same size.

So...

asia-s3.rom
sp-e.sp1
sp-j2.rom
sp-s.sp1
sp1.jipan.1024
usa-2slt.bin
vs-bios.rom

...are all BIOS files. You should probably only replace ROMs of identical size to the UniBIOS ROM, if there are some of different sizes. Besides that, just try replacing all of the ones I listed with copies of the UniBIOS.

That help?

All of the bioses are the exact same size (131.072KB.) so is uni bios. I'll try replacing them now

BTW, sorta off topic, in regards to your sig.. you need a dreamcast internet adaptor right? the thing that goes on tie side.. i have one for you i can just give you

Perhaps it verifies the files, as MAME does. In that case, try using a hex editor to open up the PSP binaries, and check for various hashes (CRC, MD5, SHA) of the original files, and replace with the same hash from the unibios.

BTW, I don't own a PSP, Metal Sug Anthology, or anything related. This may have all been done already, or proven impossible.

Yo each folder with the roms contains some other files with the extensions .ssb .ltb .tta and .stb ..... does anyone know what they do?

Anyway...

I am wondering if its possible to do a Datsugoku (P.O.W) on the Neo Geo home system...

I loved to play this game in the arcades...

Anyone knows?

Way to hijack a thread....

anyway, all you have to do is open up one of your AES carts (preferably one of the more expensive carts as these have more room in them then the cheaper carts), and fit the POW board in the cart. I play lots of arcade games on my AES this way.

Yeah,
as I supposed.
Thanks.

BTW, my Euro U11 should be the right cart for it.^^
