A recent post indicated that Metal Slug really taxes system resources, so I decided to see how my PIII 500 would do (it is not my mame machine). I downloaded Metal Slug from www.mame.dk . When I tried it out, it did not run and I verified the roms (using A@H frontend) which yeilded the following message:
Verifying: Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001
mslug : ng-sfix.rom 131072 bytes 354029fc NOT FOUND
mslug : neo-geo.rom 131072 bytes 9036d879 NOT FOUND
mslug : ng-sm1.rom 131072 bytes 97cf998b NOT FOUND
romset mslug is bad
1 romsets found, 0 were OK.
Strange. Any idea what is wrong? When I check the zip file for integrity it is fine.
