:) I was in he same case when I received my PGM slot with Martial Masters, I didn't find any sources to unlock her, except on the official IGS site in chinese which said we have to wait 20 days, finish the game once then enter 99 credits at charas select screen to get Saojin icon instead of counter box above Master Huang.

But in fact, if you up the date in the Calendar setting, that works too, instead of waiting 20 days.

PGM 's a really nice system, but not as popular as MVS, which has some interesting games such as :
- Martial Masters (Chinese SF3-like on PGM) ;
- Demon Front (Metal Slug-like on PGM) ;
- Spectral Vs. Generation (awesome technical fighting cross over game with well known RPG charas from these 2 series) ;
- The Gladiator (beautiful but a bit more boring than KoV series, btw you can't catch your ennemies in this game, as in KoV series :( ) ;
- KoV 2 Nine Dragons (not as beautiful as The Gladiator but has a better gameplay).

Usually I buy them @Excellentcom.

I don't think there will be more games on PGM, Spectral was the latest.

Thanks for the info

I just had a look but they didn't have anything there at the moment
I will keep looking there just in case something turns up.

Its a shame if they dont release any more titles on the pgm, there artwork is exellent
and the animation is top quality

I tried to unlock her last night, but it didn't work...

I don't know what I did wrong.

I played the game for like five minutes.

Then went to the calender settings and change the date to a month ahead.

I started the game and I had both the choice of expert mode and full gauge mode but not even the count down for the secret character.

Any idea whats going wrong?

Thanks

Chris

Thats strange,

I tried it last night and it worked first time

I just put the calander 1 month ahead put it in expert mode by pressing ABCD + start and the 99 credit counter was abouve master huang, then I just started pumping the credits in until the counter got to 0 and the she was there.

Did you start in expert mode?

I have the us version too

When you turn the system on and the game boots up there should be a long reference number in the bottom right hand corner, make a note of it and I will compare it with mine.

But saying that I dont think it makes a difference how old the cart is
I'm sure it works on all versions of the game

A note:

If you are using MAME, the cheat will NOT work.
So if you are trying the cheat and it isn't working, chances are you are using MAME.
You have to wait until MAME emulates the game & dip switches correctly.

When you started playing the game to test the cheat did you have to insert the cart in the mobo ? or had the cart been sitting in the machine with a few characters that you might of used to complete the game already saved?

If you put the cart in and had not played it for a while try completing the game first so you get a completion then do the cheat

That works on every versions of the game, we tested with carts of different regions too.

if you can see Expert mode at title screen appeared, then go ahead Master Huang, you'll see an icon with a number, enter coins until the number descreases to 0 : Saojin will there, selectable.

Well, after getting the date up, don't switch off PGM, just exit Dips in the menu to get the game relaunched. Also try after resetting all your old data, before upping date.

Ok my only idea is that I had just put the game in the mobo (i had demon front in). So I didnt have any saved game finishes.

I will beat the game with a couple of characters to see if that works.

I didnt turn the game off once I set the date I just left the setup menu.

Its weird... I WANT SAOJIN DAMNIT!!!!

To be honest with you demirichris I didn't think Saojin was all that great

She is like the martal masters version of dan, she has some high number combo's
but apart from that you will get bored very fast with her.

To unlock Saojin in 10 seconds (discovered by Maximus from http://www.neogeofans.com/leforum) [works onthe real hardware with the chinese version called Xing Yi Quan, the japanese version called Shin Yi Ken & the US version called Martial Masters] :

First, play the game a bit, then go in Calendar setting, up the date to the next month, then exit. After relaunching the game and entering the 1st coin, U'll notice a cheat to enable "Expert Mode" displayed at the title screen and, above Master Huang at the charas select screen, the counter meaning that Saojin'll be unlocked soon. U'll have to enter coins until the disappearance of the counter icon, Saojin 'll be there instead.

Thank you very much Mutation!:buttrock: I've just tried it out and it works!:)

Here a few things about this fabulous games!:

-Expert mode : push A+B+C+D + start at the title screen in order to fight against an angry computer! (it seems that the expert mode becomes avaible when the game is finished with all characters)

-The crasy mode
In this funny mode, the power gauges increase automatically endless....


Push A+B+C+D +START + :up: on the player 1 AND player 2 just before the fight begins in vs mode. After the fight, you can continue in story mode whith this crasy mode....

@Maximus : True Lotus Master 's not playable on the real hardware, btw there's a boot that supports it (in fact, a simple patch applied to enable it).

It'd be nice to post the revisions of "Xing Yi Quan" (pronounce Shin Yi Ch'uan) & "Martial Masters" that U own :
mine :

Martial Masters US cart V104, V102, V102

Xing Yi Quan Chinese cart V104, V102, V101
