There's not a problem with the box. I won't pretend to know anything about the hardware besides swapping out a hard drive and performing the very dangerous "hot swap", but it's not a hardware issue.

All emulators that save settings do it with .INI or .INI-type files.

What is Mame-X?

Do a google search for CoinOps Ignite. It's the best MAME emulator out there now. I think you're using an old arcade emu and either it wasn't configured to actually save settings in the first place, or somehow it got hosed up. Normally, I would tell you to delete the emu and find the TDATA and UDATA saves for it, but since it's an inferior emu if it's not CoinOps anyways, you should just delete the emulator and replace it with CoinOps.

Mame-X is veryyyyyyy old and only good for Midway games these days.
(mame-x was based on the mame core that used speed hacks for midway games)

emulating Metal Slug 2 with two players slows down in a way that it almost becomes unplayable.

Metal Slug 2 runs slow even on original NeoGeo hardware, its how the game originally plays.
(thats why they released Metal Slug X, its just an upgrade of 2 with stuff changed and no slowdown)

If you don't want correct emulation of Metal Slug 2 use FBA-XXX and use the overclocking option,
this will emulate the game at a higher clock speed, thus stopping the slowdown.

or coverclock on CoinOPS

go into OSD and speed it up

Hmm maybe overclocking should be on by default for Metal Slug 2,
that is if you ever release a new version of CoinOPS..

can do what percent?

No idea, its been ages since i emulated.
I don't even have any emulators on there atm. (put a different HD in)

I should really get off my ass and completely redo my xbox sometime.

CoinOPS IGNITE R2 was released yesterday... no overclocking automatically but should be in R3

Hey BP,

You get the allowance mode or the 2 player alternating controller fix in there for me yet bud?

Cool.... I know I said I'd help out with that, but I'm really busy on my end. I had a little bit of downtime because things weren't moving on other fronts but they've picked up and now I'm behind again. Here's hoping you're still working on it when I get around to it.

Hopefully somebody will help you out with that video code too. Got 4 MAME DVDs worth of vids waiting to be added to the Xtras.

Later,
