Intro and MS5 questions

[brinkoftime]

Hello to all of you, I am obviously a new user to the boards and would like to introduce myself. I have been into emulation lightly for a while and I am a huge fan of the old 2d hand drawn sprite games. I also had a few questions about the metal slug 5 rom. I just got the neo bios, kawaks 1.46, and the 1.46 loader. What the hell is a loader? and how do I make it run my rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love metal slug and cannot wait to play the 5th installment.

if you're using win xp you'll have to run kawaks in win98 compatibility mode.before that though open the asr dat and copy and paste this dat file
