Did anyone get Metal Slug 5 to work in gngeopi?

[juicebag85]

Hi.

I got a problem with my Metal Slug 5 ROM. When I start it with the gngeopi emulator it seems that I only get to some kind of maintenance screen of the ROM. I had the same problem with a Pacman ROM at the MAME4ALL Emulator, but there I could exit that mode easily via the options.
Did someone expirienced the same problem and can tell me how I can exit this mode an get to play the game in gngeopi?
Metal Slug 1-4 + X work perfectly in gngeopi. But Metal Slug 6 besides that doesn’t even start.
I’m using the Retropie 3beta2 image on a Raspberry Pi 2.

I’d appreciate your help. :)
Thank you!

firstly I’d try lr-fba over gngeopi, much much better

[charco]

Yeah I have it running on lr-fba with no problems.

[juicebag85]

Yeah. I guess you’re right. But unfortunatly none of my neogeo Roms work with lr-fba. :(
The other fba emulator works, but you can’t save in it and can’t even exit.
I also don’t know which kind of ROMS I do need for the lr-fba. Or is there a possibitly to convert my neogeo roms to make them compatible?

[juicebag85]

*push* How did you get the lr-fba to work?

[charco]

Ensure you have the correct romset version for lr-fba and the correct Neo Geo Bios. Details here:

I will PM you.

The romsets needed for the arcade based emulators are here:

Nice. Thank you!

But this does not seem to work at all. :(
When I start a game the screen stays black and after a few seconds i am back in emulationstation.
I checked the runcommand.log for errors and got this:

I have no idea what the problem is. ^^

[Floob]

It looks like the romset isnt correct. Which game are you trying?

[juicebag85]

This error code is from Metal Slug 1. But I tried several other games. They didn’t work either.

Ok, here is the makeup of the “mslug.zip” for fba-libretro.
Does yours match this if you open up the zip?

NOTE: The roms starting with 201 need to be in the mslug.zip, and the rest will need to be in your neogeo.zip that should be in the same directory.

Thanks again for your help. I managed it to work. :)

I’m not shure, what the problem was. My romsets were correct. I guess I used the wrong bios. First I used my standart neogeo bios but then I managed to get an specific FBA bios and now it works like a charm.
Thank you!
Now my Retropie is perfect (for me). :D

[charco]

Glad to hear it!
