I have found this to be untrue. kawa wouldnt recognize the mslug3 rom until I had both files in the roms folder.

You do not need both the original rom and decrypted rom sets if you wish to save space and merge the necessary roms which is basically what this tutorial is telling you to do. So for example, for Metal Slug 3, according to the supported games list will look for mslug3.zip and mslug3nd.zip, but you can just use mslug3nd.zip if you put the files it is looking for in mslug3.zip into mslug3nd.zip (the m and v roms in this particular case). So yes they do need proper filenames, but you don't need both of those roms depending on how your zips are organized.

That is the way I have it, just mslug3nd.zip in my directory and it boots fine. Saves a good deal of space, as the decrypted roms compress a lot better.

yeah, once you got the decrypted files and you name the rom right, you don't need the encrypted files anymore. Cuts the size of the rom by half too.

When you're done, your mslug3nd.zip should look like this:

Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, it helped a bunch! However, you're missing two steps, one of which got me stumped for a while.

Make sure if you freshly downloaded the PC version of Kawaks and you throw your mslug3.zip in the roms dir that you accompany it with neogeo.zip as well, to get it to run. Pretty self explanitory, but it might confuse someone.
When you load up Kawaks, BEFORE you load mslug3, go to Tools -> Enable save decrypted Cs after loading and make sure it's checked off, otherwise the decrypted files wont be in the main directory!

That's about it.

Is there a list of games that need (or recommended) to be decrypted?

Donan Fear · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:22:00 PM »

In SupportedGames.txt, if it says "(predecrypted)", you need the decrypted version of the romset. You can either download it or make it yourself.

I might be a idiot or something but can some one make a list like this for kof 99-01Im sure these are "legal" games according to the 2 year rule
