Quite easy to hack, lol.

This game is really fun, way better than the online clones.

Well, I'm having a great friggin' time with this game. It's a lot more forgiving than something like Contra 4 was, and I'm glad for that. Plus, it's a lot more chaotic fun. Looks great, to boot.

I am, however, stuck in one area of Mission 3. There's a big red ball rolling at me, and I need to go down some type of elevator. I can't seem to activate it, though. Anyone know how to engage that thing?

Press fire(a) when standing next to the thing(crank) on elevator. i must have died 10 or so times before I figured that out.

Hmm...well, I can't quite get it. I've tried both the A-button (which throws grenades) and the Y-button (main weapon) while standing next to it, right in front of it, etc., but it's not doing anything.

EDIT: Nevermind. It seems you have to stand at just the right spot and press the Y-button.

Thanks for the help!

On my M3 Simply with patched R4 kernel it runs at a rather choppy framerate. Is that the game's fault in general?

 

[Calafas]

You have to stand just slightly to the left of the switch and press the 'y' button to activate it, for everyone having trouble.

ok, i havent found anything in the thread, so:

has anyone the same problems with the rom, when using DS-X?
i arm7fixed it,
but it doesnt work
and i also tried 2 different sources

it starts,
but then comes some japanese text.


does anyone with an DS-X got this working?

 

[Unchi-san]

wait... no co-op play?

 

[Vater Unser]

whoa, this is really fun. I've never played any metal slug games before

You should

Metal Slug 1-3 are still the highlights of the series...They're MAME compatible *cough*

*Gets wet*

Too tired and sick to play this sadly, but tomorrow I'll have a blast on this bad boy.

Whatever happened to Commando:steel disaster btw?

Well I was told that the publisher, Lexicon Entertainment was just about ready to get this out when its distributor dropped the game, maybe due to bankruptcy or whatever. Some people say its out in Germany, some say Holland but it is out in the US on August 19th and is handled by a different publisher.

to the left or to the right. depending on where the lever is (on the first rightmost switch it's on the left. on the second switch (below, on the left side the lever is on the right)

Oh yeah

And this game is perfectly playable in Japanese even if you have no knowledge of Japanese at all, it's really simple to navigate, so I didnt bother patching (although this has been made fairly easy now).

Anyway, really good game
