Not yet.. Busy working on Zero Wing port for the Neo Geo right now but will come back and sort this TMSS issue out as soon as I can. I also see a bunch of you are posting flash PCB kits with SRAM? Where can I find them? I need about 10 :D
Sadly not. The game heavily relies on the proportional font writer and would you believe it?! As powerful as the NeoGeo is, this is something it really can't do :D
I've explained elsewhere, but the proportional text writer is dam near impossible on a NeoGeo sadly. Anyway.. I've got other more interesting plans for the NG ;)
Been trying all afternoon to track this bastard bug down. Doesn't happen in emulation, only on my real MD! We will get there otherwise you'll never see the ending!!!
it's not. This is only a reality because of the amazing work of Manuel pazos who disassembled and fully commented the original 128kb game. Solid snake is 512kb!!!
The original ending just has the credits in the radio screen. I didnt feel that was enough of a pay off for conpleting it so added an entirely new end credits sequence and soundtrack. It did meam making a new tune for it though.
yeah that's normal. Unibios assumes every game will have the logo graphics on the cart. It's very annoying because the tiles aren't just sat in one place.
If it detects MVS hardware then it relies on the Freeplay dipswitch setting of the board. I'm guessing you're running a UniBios and using that to switch to AES? My guess is that it cannot mask the hardware flag for MVS, which is what I'm reading. I suppose in AES mode it doesn't show "PRESS D FOR OPTIONS" on the title screen either?
Simplest thing to do is to switch off free play on your MVS. Credits are supported.
Unlikely to be related to anything I'm doing, I have no access to the NeoSD and how it operates with the SD card. Just sounds like you found an edge case bug in the NeoSD firmware.
Don't have a CDZ system I'm afraid but most CD issues are down to media or burning speed / software. I've played it on my NeoGeo CD from disc and it works fine.
The palette thing on stage 5 could well be a mistake on my part. Nobody brought it up in testing so i assumed it was correct. This "might" get fixed in a later update when im not feeling quite so sick.
The feather bug is not getting fixed. I'll not go into the technical detail as to why but this was the best solution for that reveal.
Sorry for the late reply, keep forgetting to check in here. I take it you were playing on a real AES? If so, it's a known issue which I haven't managed to find / resolve yet.
