Before I go on with my post, I'll just say that I have Googled the subject, but most of the threads I found were over a decade old.
When I say best, I'm referring to smooth and non-buggy play. There are a lot of heavy action parts in the Metal Slug games that slow the emulators down heavily. I started Metal Slug on the Wii, which (Metal Slug Anthology) has a mostly smooth emulator.
I have tried Kawaks, Nebula, FBA, and MAME. Kawaks segfaulted before I could start playing and was showing flashing lines just from loading the Neo Geo screen at the start of Metal Slug, so I said no immediately. FBA was okay but the sound was clicky at times and seemed kind of slow in general. Nebula was good, but I'm hesitant since the last update was 2007. MAME was okay, but seemed slow. Also tried NeoRAGEx but it couldn't identify the ROMs. I think I'm up in the air between Nebula and MAME.
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated, e.g. settings to try, other emulators to try, etc. Thanks.
