Metal Slug - select stage

[deadgirlsdontsayno]

Hello everybody,

I recently watched a video on the shoot 'em up dedicated site Ikaru.com showing a guy playing Metal Slug 2 (btw a very poor player) starting Mission 2 with a score showing 0 points.

Is there a possibility to enter a select stage in Metal Slug games through an emulator ? that would be great 'cause Metal Slug 3 still drives me mad in the Final Mission. A select stage would be very useful for training sessions...

How can I enable that select stage if it exists ?

Thank you for reading.

I guess it can be done with a cheat file for Kawaks or Nebula, though i don´t have one for it, i think (am at work right now -__-)
I´ll check for you when i get home.

Other option is to make use of the save state option in the emulator.
Get to the stage you want to replay for practice and when you are about to start, click in the windowbar of nebula or kawaks and under the first colom8file) , there should be an option state save...in that you can save the place you are so next time you open that state, you´ll start directly where you saved your game.

Toss this in your mslug5nd cheat txt-

Thanx !

but I tried this with other metal slug games (1, 2, X, 3) and even if i can see the select stage within the cheats window nothing happens. I guess this only works with Metal Slug 5... dou you have the same thing for other slug games ? That would be so cool.

...and excuse me, I'm a total newbie in that whole emulation thing. hum, not too newbie though, I mean I know how to run an emulator at least.

[Goemon]

No prob. dude, though i don't have any cheats for the other mslug games (with the exception of 4, i don't have the roms for that game at all, not a fan of it) cause i've always just played them straight thru. One way i know you can find them though is just type in cheats for kawaks (or whatever emu your using) and there are certain sites that has cheat pack that they update with every new game dumped.

Btw, welcome to the forums, in noticed that you posted some in the neo talk section which i think is cool cause it gets quite annoying when people sign up just to ask a misc. emu question or talk about a new rom.

[deadgirlsdontsayno]

thanx for the tip... i'll check these cheat packs although I have already one and there is no select stage at all for any game... I thought my pack was sort of "official" (newbiness again) but I'll check if I can get a more complete one.

Btw, welcome to the forums, in noticed that you posted some in the neo talk section which i think is cool cause it gets quite annoying when people sign up just to ask a misc. emu question or talk about a new rom.

In fact I've been reading this board since I discovered that emulation allows you to play neo geo games on your computer one year ago. I'm a big SNK fan for almost 15 years now and I don't want to know how many coins I've thrown in the arcades...

Unlike other boards this one seems to suit me quite well, so I decided to post here. By the way this site has been very helpful for me and made me discover a lot of neo geo games I didn't know at all. Good reviews...

[Makaveli]

thx a lot for the cheats man

[deadgirlsdontsayno]

That's exactly the cheats I've downloaded from Cheat Mania. No select stage though.

Is there a possibility to search cheats by myself with Kawaks ? btw i don't know shit about programming so I guess I won't be able to do this :redface:

[hullcityfcmad]

there's not a way i know of....you could always put invincibility or for the first level and take it off on the 2nd level....though you wouldn't have zero points
maybe you could play with the dipswitches or something but i've never really tried that myself....so don't hold me responsible for any cock ups!!
hullcityfcmad

[deadgirlsdontsayno]

Thanx for the help guys

I'll finally play it straight ghetto style bustin asses from mission one till the end

[Kazuya_UK]

If you are using the debug bios (not universe bios) it is possible to go into the developers options in that and choose your stage, that's the only way I know how to do it, and I think you would have zero points that way. I don't have it though, and I can't post rom links here, so you'll have to find it from somewhere yourself and give it a try

Hope that helps,
Kaz

[takuma2004]

I have downloaded a cheat dat of metal slug 5 from www.cheats4kawaks.hpg.ig.com.br/ and when i use cheat dat, everything of cheat dat work exccept select stage option. when i select a stage i can only see the background of the stage. Anyone know how the "select stage" option will work?

[Goemon]

^ Check mark stage in cheats, reset game, choose character and you will start up in that level. If it doesn't work you may have the wrong cheat. The one i posted earlier in the thread im sure works just incase the one you have is poo.

[takuma2004]

That select stage function does not work, I have tired the cheat above but did not work. I have taken a picture and uploaded on the site. Here is the link

arcde.0catch.com

I hope somebody can fix this problem. Can anybody upload the cheat which runs the select stage function
