Metal Slug 4 dumped

That was quick eh? It appeared on a free site for a bit until pulled due to BW. And should be floating around A.B.E.M in one form or another. If anyone gets it up and running please do tell

It is meant to be quite crap though.

Why is it supposed to be crap?

Really re-hashed characters and locations, plus apparently the soldiers are the main enemy now like the original MS. A bit of a retrogression.

Something you might find "interesting" http://cps2shock.free.fr/mslug4.zip

Still missing M1 (sound) ROM but it will turn up.

Nebula DAT file:

You have to be kidding me, that is not a working mslug4 rom is it?

by **ivwshane** on Thu Jun 27, 2002 9:19 am

I don't know what to think about it. It definitly wasn't as good as #3 and the ending in this one sucked really bad.

by **Damian** on Thu Jun 27, 2002 9:57 am

Hmm I seem to be having problems. When I try and scan the ROM with Nebula the whole thing crashs. Inside the ROMDATA folder I placed the file neo_mslug4.DAT , I have also tried including the values in the NEOGEO.DAT file. Any ideas?

by **Damian** on Thu Jun 27, 2002 10:49 am

No matter, turned out it was the latest version of Nebula. Got an older version and it works fine.

The bosses certainly aren't as intricately detailed or impessive as they used to be:

A few new interesting vehicles though:

I'll continue playing to the end, but I doubt there will be much redeeming. Interestingly quite a lot of people seem to like this, but then again quite a lot of people don't as well. I hope they do a better job with MS5.

as expected the link is dead now..GOD dam..!!!

Heh, I didn't realise this game was only released two weeks ago. This really is an all time low for emulation

definitely no barrier between this and warez.

What the fuck? The game was released months ago, not two weeks ago!

by **Damian** on Fri Jun 28, 2002 10:52 am

Bad source then.

by **ivwshane** on Fri Jun 28, 2002 10:33 pm

Two weeks two months what's the difference? I still think it was released too early. I always felt that emulation had a code of ethics and wouldn't release things that are still out and bring in a significant amount of income (meaning you can still buy it new and it's relatively easy to find). I guess I was wrong.

Why does it matter you ask? Because when you start biting the hand that feeds you you start to piss it off and then it comes looking for your (meaning more and more sites could be under fire from game compoanies).
