I have found the answer! (insert epic background music here)
if you want a working version of NeoRageX for windows XP then just head over to zophar.net and go to the emulation section listed under windows/dos (duh!)
and you should be able to find the windows XP update (assuming of course you still have the original version).
it still wont play metal slug 5 though........at least not for me anyway.
you can find alot of working playable roms at coolrom.com in case you are missing any!
:tomato:
