Metal Slug Anthology

Open RealRelativeEase opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Metal Slug 1-5 and X in this compilation are Neo Geo ROMs and most of them can be extracted. Instructions were taken from this blog and the author also released one of the tools required for the extraction, so full credit to them. The method doesn't work for Metal Slug 5 and Metal Slug 6 seems to be a full-on port of the game. I've used the Wii version of Metal Slug Anthology, but the process should be the same for all versions of the compilation.

  1. Extract SLUGROM.POD from your image of Metal Slug Anthology.
  2. Extract the contents of SLUGROM.POD using podextract by ghoost82. This should result in two folders being extracted, roms and save.
  3. Download and extract MSC_extract_v2.zip and copy its contents to the roms folder.
  4. Run MSC_extract.bat and wait for the task to finish. This should result in zipped folders of Metal Slug 1-4 and X being created in the same directory.

The hashes for the ROMs don't seem to match the ones from the DotEmu releases, but they play fine in FB Neo for me.
