Bug? Metal slug

Unread post by jfml1974 »

I don't know if it's my problem but I noticed that in metal slug there is a box on each side or maybe it's a black strip that isn't complete..? It only appears in the first version of metal Image

That's not a bug. Metal Slug 1 does not use full horizontal resolution for its gameplay area and attempts to mask screen edges, not quite reaching the full height. I believe that Neo Geo core has a setting to crop the image to a narrower resolution properly if that bothers you.

Thanks, although it could be a mistake... I found it very strange. If there is an option 3..px

Here's a list which Neo Geo Games used 304 horizontal and which ones the full 320 horizontal. The Metal Slug series was always in 304, so just set it accordingly in the Core video settings.
