thank you so much, I will be aware of a second run!

I finished the demo game and I realized stages 1 to 3 are included, missing the stages 4 and 5, since I missed the physical version, will the full version rom will be available for purchase? thank you

is the physical version the same as Demo Version or the physical is full / more levels?

thank you, now it works with non TMSS, great!

it is confirmed that the game has issues with TMSS consoles, it will be fixed on the next release, the issue is not on your cart but on the game.

nice one H0ffman, I am glad you are aware of the TMSS issue, here is the flash PCB with SRAM you need: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005008591123623.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.8.44216db7QQBTSp&algo_pvid=348f644c-f3e4-4e52-93ea-9d2dfe3647af&algo_exp_id=348f644c-f3e4-4e52-93ea-9d2dfe3647af-7&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%2223%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%7D&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21MXN%21120.68%21107.90%21%21%2144.12%2139.45%21%402103246617484530063751688ef1b1%2112000045891054488%21sea%21MX%21862716286%21X&curPageLogUid=pDmq5CBZS5Nm&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

Hello, thank you so much for confirmation, it was so frustrating for me, because it seems to be working fine for everyone but me, I am not sure if it is a bug or a protection system, because of the boot message "Dont buy carts from ali express" and the only way to play it on original consoles (like the majority of my consoles) is using a flash cart. But I am glad that you confirmed my TMSS suspect, I also double checked  the rom header on $100 looking for SEGA text, but it is there, so the doubt is, BUG or FEATURE, maybe on version 1.2, I already posted about the TMSS issue on the comments, but no reply from H0ffman so far. thank you again for your help, I can relax now :D

Hello, I made 2 videos, look at them, on my case the issue seems to be related to TMSS. On the Genesis 1 without TMSS it works just fine, on the Nomad with TMSS it doesnt. Same behavior for flash cart with or without battery. thank you for all your help.

excellent, please, I tried another flasher but same results, so maybe the issue is on the flash cart, I will wait for your results, thank you in advance.

I tried these two models, none of them worked withTMSS consoles, mine are NTSC america, I will try with another flasher program, thank you for your help

maybe that is the reason, mine looks totally different than yours, look

that trick didnt work for me, no matter what, I cant boot the game with a flashed cart, only early genesis 1 model, others fail to boot, including nomad

Got it, it does not work on my sega nomad, I will try your method, thank you

I have done the same, battery backup aliexpress, it leads to a black screen on boot all my consoles, only the sega genesis model 1 (without TMSS), you have tested on PAL and NTSC right?

it works if you set "game load reset type" where set on SOFT

How you boot an original cart then the metal gear and it works? you must turn off/on the console to remove/insert a cartridge... I cant get it

thank you so much for your help, I flashed the game v1.1 on a FRAM cartridge but it only boots on non  TMSS console, others I just get a black screen, whats your experience? thank you advance.

Hello, I tested the game with a Mega Everdrive X7 (worked fine on all my consoles), the Mega SD (it works fin on all my  consoles when the setting "game load reset type" where set on SOFT, on HARD mode it leads to a black screen and it wont boot), with a rewritable cartridge (with FRAM it also write the game properly, also tried without FRAM/savegame), it only worked on my Sega Genesis model 1 and Analogue MegaSD.

I tested the Sega Genesis model 1, model 2, model 3, CDX, 32x, Nomad and Analogue MegaSD.

I notice that the Sega Genesis model 1 and Analogue MegaSD are the only ones who have no TMSS and that the only consoles that the game worked with a rewritable cartridge, all others fail to boot.

I think the issue is related to TMSS, is it a security feature maybe to prevent the game to work on a rewritable cartridge (aliexpress warning) and work only on flash carts, or maybe just a bug. 

This is the issue I am talking about:
