DS #2466: Metal Slug 7 (Japan)

[NINTENDO DS]

Yay, something fun for the summer.

or 3 hours....the game was short

 

[Zarcon]

Well, don't just beat it, complete it! =P

Stupid Combat School, where the frick can they hide more prisoners?! >_o

 

[SchuchWun]

raname all the files the end in US to JP. rename the font_jp to font_eu

make a copy of font eu and name it to font eu as well. so you have a font_jp which is font eu, and anoter font_eu which is also font_eu

Kick ass! Thanks!

Is this game working on m3?

Yes it is, but I think u have to update ur firmware to the latest version

..

I've got a M3 perfect microSD and i've updated M3 GM to V36a. And the game still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?

Works on Supercard CF.

Not sure if I like this game. Something rubs me the wrong way, maybe it's the squished look of certain sprites.

Then go play the old Metal Slug games on NeoDS

If it's no good I'll make another as I've just patched the game with the SQUIRE patch.

That's from an M3 Simply btw, use Shuny's online converter to change!

Ok, have converted it...

...It doesn't work.
Im running it on v1.1.3. I tried it without the Arm7 fix, than with the Arm 7 fix. I tried using the save before writing to the EEPROM DATA and after. In all scenario's it hangs at the "cant create a save screen".

Im not willing to downgrade my firmware on my DS-X to find out, it most likely wont work. BUT if anyone is willing or still uses an earlier firmware than by all means, i might even consider downgrading just to play ms7.

Im fairly sure i wont be seeing ms7 on my DS-X, which is now, officially broken in comparison to the competition.
Thanks again for the help Thug4L1f3.

Hello to all !

I've also convert the sav file, but the new sav file (i've got it from the Shuny online converter) is much bigger the usual ds-x sav file.
So maybe the converter is not working well ?

Can someone upload an S-C sav file for instance ?

Be sure to force the EEPROM DATA to save by starting a new game of something else, saving it and turning it off, for instance.
If your save was around 524kb post-conversion (->DS-X), than that might be worth trying alright...
...I tried using the online converter twice. Both times the output file came in at around 200kb, i cant remember exactly, it was in my earlier post.
Mate, unless a new firmware gets released for the DS-X (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!) than i cant see it working, unless tried with a save type from a different cart, ie. thug4life uploaded an m3 simply .sav.
Let us know if you come across anything! I have every metal slug, not being able to play this one is a serious kick in the teeth!

I'm confused about the "saving prisoners" thing. When going through a level, I try to go up to all the prisoners, free them if they're tied up, and then accept whatever goodies they have for me. But often, at the end of a level, it still says 0 prisoners. What's up with that? Is there something else you're supposed to do in order to technically save them?

 

[leetcakes]

u have to not die, once u die, ur hostage count = 0

 

[GeekyGuy]

Oh shit!

Thanks. That definitely raises the anty.

 

[layzieyez]

That's where all the satisfaction comes from in completing your missions. When I actually have some hostages freed (at least for me), I feel like a champ. I started playing this on normal this morning. An awesome birthday present to myself. I love the entire Metal Slug series. As I said in the PSP thread, one of my main reasons for getting a PSP was so I could play Metal Slug Anthology on the go. I haven't tried the emulator NeoDS, yet. I might try it after I've finished this game.

My bad. That's fine now i've read the whole topic.

Every time you get hit killed, you loss all the prisoners you rescued. So in order to get the prisoners saved bonus, you mustn't die.

Anyone get it to work on an m3 perfet/lite?

 

[704jaffer]

I must of somehow missed the whole metal slug thing in my childhood. I'll give this sucker a try, but can anyone tell me why the games are so great?

Because you kill everything that moves
