If you guys can't help me on this, I need to at least know where to download the required files for the Beatmaster, Gauntlet,and Gradius series, and Soul Calibur, Metal Slug 2, 4, and 5, and Diehard games.

Please.

PS: Sorry for the sloppy spelling and capitalization on the lists. That may be annoying to look at.


I am looking for a sereous godamn EXPERT here, and if it's not too much trouble, I need a place to download the files/sound samples/etc. I might be missing.

Thanks in advance, guys.

I can almost assure you that your missing bios files. For the Metal Slugs, you need the NeoGeo bios. For the rest im not sure exactly but I stickied a list of all Bios files under the Arcade Emulation section. Get all of those Bios files and most those games should work fine. As for Soul Calibur, dont waste your time with it unless you get the Dcast Emu and the Dcast Soul Calibur rom file.

Yeah, the Soul Calibur file seemed too good to be true on MAME. I don't really feel like setting up a dreamcast emu and roms, though,

I have the NeoGeo bios, which is why Metal Slug 1, 3 and 5 are working. Maybe my version of MAME hates even numbers; maybe it's trying to tell me something. Oh well. It's probably just a severe case of compu-schizophrenia or something.

I give you supreme bonus points for the sticky, too, as that should make this whole ordeal a helluva lot easier.
