I'd actually like it to be kept standalone for a few reasons.
May I ask what the reasons are? Having Unibios support would bring this to so many more people, especially if it works with multi-carts. It would also save all of those physical copies of MS2 that have to be operated on for the fix.I'd actually like it to be kept standalone for a few reasons.

An updated unibios supporting this game ID is required if you want to be able to correctly play this version on an AES in Arcade mode. All Metal Slug games have this same issue (apart from MS1) and the unibios works around it but it expects an ID of 241 for Metal Slug 2 and not 941.
Ah now this is a valid issue, I'll have a word with trap about it. Until that number was changed (under mame at least) it was refusing to pick up the cart name change unless the number changed too.
Anyone got a link to an appropriate socket for this?
Edit: nvm looks like they are a standard pitch, just ordered some off fleabay.
Be aware that it may be difficult to close the cart if you put a socket in the board. You may have to trim some of the plastic from the shell.

Yeah I saw system11 mentioned that in his blog post. Fine by me, I'd rather have a socket so I can swap in the original ROM easily if I feel like it.
Nice, so it did have something to do with updating, just not game logic. From the comparison vids it's like night and day. Is it true that in the PS2 MS Anthology version of MS2 that SNK just super over clocked the game to try and fix the slowdown?
You can install the turbo patch into sockets ep1 and ep2 if you remove the jumper that connects p1 /oe to ground and tie it to +5v.
Not sure how they did it but ms2 on the ps2 has no slowdown.
It does feel like it's just overclocked tho.
So, by using this method it is also possible to switch between the turbo/regular chips, by switching...OE I think?
Thanks!!
