Please HELP ME with metal slug 5 graphics error

[Raven]

I downloaded NeoRagex v0.9c and also downloaded the bios but I stil have a graphics error with metal slug 5, after the game begins the graphics goes crazy and I can't see very good the game. please help me

[the_ghost]

can you post a screenshot?
if not its okay just wait for someone else to post
(I just have to see what its doing before i make a suggestion)

also:i under stand the graphics go crazy but does it play sound
and can you still control the game? (i.e. run, jump,control the main menu)
it might just be your disply settings.

Given the fact NeoRageX v0.9c it's a hack of an old discontinued emulator, it's not a surprise.
You might be luckier with Nebula 2.23 (yes, the version matters, isn't it monty?) and create/look for a Rom dat, Kawaks 1.48 Dev, or even some unnofficial Mame around there and mslug5 should work almost flawlessly. Cleverly use google and sure you'll find that stuff

Edit: Maybe this thread helps you

[the_ghost]

go with what hagbard said
he's helped me on more than 1 occasion

I installed Nebula 2.23, but it doesn't seem to find mslug5. If you can help me with this one i will really apreciate it.

We need to know your roms file name, size and crc32 to do so. There're a Nebula romdata maker who can help a lot. I don't have the url now, look for yourself or wait till I go home.

Edit: The Generator , from the great coder & nice guy iq_132

[Raven]

I got the nebula romdata maker.
How does it works?

I also got the generator but I don't know how to use it

there are times that I feel so stupid

[hagbard]

Everyone borns with nothing yet known. It's all patience and work .

What's the part you don't understand? To use Generator, just unzip it and open the htm file with your favorite web browser. I think it might be the crc32. Also you can see & copy the crc32 from apps like Winrar, Winzip or 7-zip. But there's an easier way to take it, probably not the best nor nice, but it's my own way. Just get any pkunzip, place it in your rom folder and type this from the command line, or in a .bat file, then hit <Enter> key:

pkunzip mslug5.zip -vn > mslug5.txt

I assume mslug5.zip it's the zip rom name, change it if needed. Open the new mslug5.txt, and you'll see something like this:

Pretty much data, isn't it? Well, we only need what I marked: Length (rom file fize), CRC and Name. Note that there's one file per Rom file inside the zip. With this data, copy & paste on Generator, I think there're some info about each (new) game on the its site, look for it. Please use the Nebula dat feature, and The Generator will do the rest. Now place the rom dat file on Nebula's "romdata" subfolder, run nebula and search for new roms. Make sure mslug5.zip it's on your rom path. For more detailed, better, info & help, please use the help on Generator & the docs into its zip.

Good luck
