How different is the PS1 version of SlugX compared to the arcade version?
I only know it has shittier music and a bonus mode

[Anonymous No.10242006]

I thought the music was fine.

The usual: cut animation frames and some sprites such as explosions executed as smaller sprites blown up to size; all this is done with enough savvy so gameplay-wise the game is still basically 1:1 though, plus the Combat School modes are of course great fun.

Not sure if there's a point in playing it as of 2023, but back in 2001 it was kind of a must have.

Just emulate the Arcade version. Metal Slug is a game best played with autofire and no slowdown. A lot of the ports are much worse as they have additional slowdown, worse input lag, or are not arcade accurate.

[Anonymous No.10242189]

It's completely fine to play.

The thing I've never liked of this port was the missing blood splash when you kill soldiers with the shotgun.

About the music, unlike the port of 1, X uses the internal PS sound chip to play music, which solves the pauses when the game loads between stages. This had an effect in its quality and doesn't sound as good as the original.

Look again Einstein. The shotgun is not a weapon that works with auto fire.

i like playing console ports of games honestly, i like seeing what they offer and their limitations.

[Anonymous No.10242630]

>>10242613
the shotgun works fine with auto fire, what are you even talking about? Autofire doesn't mean you just hold the fire (autofire) button down 24/7.

>tap autofire

[Anonymous No.10242664]

>>10242651
Have you ever used autofire once in your life you complete retard?

If a weapon has a fire delay, tapping autofire is the equivalent of tapping fire unless you hold it down long enough until the fire delay is up (outside of rare exceptions with action queuing). Alternatively, you can just have two buttons for standard fire and autofire. Not really relevant here, but many shmups also utilize different autofire rates for pointblanking vs. dealing with popcorn.

>to make shoot em ups simpler simply add an autofire, regular fire and a semi auto fire button. If you don't do this you're a retard

ps1 sucks for big sprite arcade games
dont you remember being disappointed by marvel vs street fighter?
xmen vs street fighter?
ps1 marked the beginning of the end of gaming

Autofire should be the default in every retro shooter. Imaging tapping buttons constantly just to play a game, that's sitcom shit.

the slowdown is detrimental to the game. It causes high input lag, inconsistent game feel, slows down the game speed, and even eats your inputs.

The games feel much better running at full speed the whole time, especially 2, which is basically unplayable due to the crippling slowdown, but is the peak of the genre at full speed. If Nazca could have had the games run full speed on the NeoGeo without sacrificing the visual effects and animations, they would have definitely preferred that.

Maybe in your schizo mind but the rest of us want to play retro games the way they were originally made. Fuck off and play nu games if you don't want slowdown.

You haven't even played them without slowdown dumbass. Metal Slug 2 was literally remade (and the gameplay neutered) to improve the slowdown. If Nazca could have a way to have the Metal Slug games with no slowdown, they would have done it in a heartbeat; the technology just held them back.

NTA but i use metalslug 1cc as my "super mario test" when testing gaming monitors or vga daisy chains
i get retrobobsaget says its "lagless lol"
but i have to feel/test it myself

a particularly egregious example would be trying to play samsho on a flatpanel tn over component/composite (the lag will literally kill u)

[Anonymous No.10245920]

>>10245905
I feel like Contra or a shmup would be a better test for that. Metal Slug runs at 30fps and even on original hardware, the input lag is not really great. Outside of some bosses like Sol, Rugname, or Rootmars, reaction is not really that big of a skill in Slug; the games are primarily about routing/strategy (and even those bosses are miles easier with proper routing for weapon/grenades and proper strategy)
