NEOGEO accessing menu for blood etc.

simonster

Which emulator are you using?

In lr-fba, there is a shortcut specified in the LibRetro menu, I can't remember exactly what it is at the moment, but I think it is something like hold A + Start for 2 seconds.

Sorry, that's obviously an important detail: lr-fbalpha version 0.2.97.42. (updated my description)

simonster

@andershp Try holding Start + A + B together whilst the game is running. This is the button combination in lr-fbalpha (don't know about lr-fbalpha2012)

@andershp Have you tried to see if the option appears directly in the RetroArch rom options ?

AndersHP

Start + A + B doesn't do anything either.

My RetroArch options looks like this, any relevant info here? @mitu here's nothing regarding blood:

Changing Setting mode to "on" doesn't make me able to access the menu either.

mitu

@andershp Yep, it's not there. Have a look at this seems a similar question that got answered on the libretro forums. I don't have the Pi right now to check though.

Configure diagnostic input ("hold start" works fine for me, i didn't try the other combinations), use your configuration to enter "diagnostic menu" (which is independent of unibios), then go "setting up the soft dip" > "slot1 metal slug "

The Japan trick didn't work - still sweat instead of blood.
What helped though is changing the Diagnostic input to Select + A + B.

It seems something's off with the Start button, I'm having difficulties entering the In Game menu also (like I have to release the start whilst pressing A+B+C, timing is almost impossible).

@andershp Try turning on settings mode then do a reset. This worked for me.

Ok the correct way is:

Turn on setting mode
Do a reset
Go to Setting up the soft dip > Slot 1 Metal Slug> Turn on blood
Navigate back and select exit
It should display DIP SW 1 OFF!!! or so
Then turn off setting mode in rgui

Edit: It should create a .fs file in the romdir.
