In other news...

Metal Slug 5!

Yes it's back, and this time it's working much better!

You will need to source new roms to build the romset and BIOS. Until we know which of the widely circulated romsets can be used to compile mslug5 this is a testing phase for folks comfortable using romset rebuilding tools.

If you have the ability to rebuild romsets: compile the latest mame2003-plus, generate a DAT from the MAME menu, and head over to github with your results

Other folks hang tight till it's tested and we have more information on how to find the roms.

hmm why am i thinking spam and eggs :)

@markwkidd So no chance for the Taito C-chip backport?

I haven't had a chance to really look at that one. We have only one coder who understands how to backport memory maps from recent MAME. That person does read this thread so we may hear something.

Alternately I am trying to learn at least the basics of the memory map process so I can answer this question for another title I'm interested in. I should say it may be a while before I know an answer.

that one person cant read this has been banned from here mark. Not sure why i dont know the history of it all

they asked to have their account removed after i (kindly!) pointed out that we don't allow rom links: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/user/gamez-fan

i didn't do the ban, for the record!

the drama around all this stuff is unreal. anyone else here to have a good time with their hobby? :D

There are 9 more new games in the CHANGELOG as of today, along with a nice handful of other fixes.

(I mean, who isn't going wild now that we have a core option for brightness, right? Right?)

One small UX change today is that Mortal Kombat 2 and its clones will default to full volume the first time they boot. :siren:

@mediamogul, so did you ever have any luck getting Donkey Kong II Jumpman Returns working? From your post I didn't follow how that indicated it'll be supported now.

Thanks!

@sdhoigt Donkey Kong II Jumpman Returns is playable in MAME2003+ as i added support for it several years back
