Thanks for the report. Interesting, I've confirmed the first behavior on mine as well. Also it seems like it no longer recognizes the start button after going back to the title. Even got it to trip an illegal instruction reset after moving around the PnM menu some more after that. Confirmed...

I don't want to mix up topics too much but since you had this post in here, now that it's on display, anything you can comment on for the 5 course version of BTG? Do you still access Scotland with hcf+D on the course select screen? Any other CD things that were brought over with it or just the...

Happened to be watching the Nintendo Direct presentation which I don't usually do, saw the Garou: City of the Wolves to the Switch 2 announcement and thought, ok a little late but cool. Then the Slug collection, ok great, I do need a way to play 6. And then this nugget in there made me pretty...

It is available in the most recent HBMame update v0.289.2 so it might be easiest to just grab it there. https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/nonmame/hbmame/

And while searching around I found that "Metal Slug 5 Remake Final Version" is available on Fightcade. I can't tell if this is the same as the V2 from the first post.

I watched the V2 video from the first post alongside a no death run of vanilla Slug 5. Both took the same paths, but since there were no differences through the first 4 missions, I'm assuming there are likely no differences on the branching paths that aren't shown. A minor one, in the Final...

Slug 5 works on the Backbit cart though, so I hoped this might work. I know some romhacks do not work though, I was going to try to figure it out this weekend. If anyone makes any progress before then, please post here.

A GitHub fork has been created with IPS patch files for Unibios 4.0 to create two different versions of a bios modified to work with leonk's gamelist. (Link added to Post #1 as well) https://github.com/lithyV/ub_vortex_multicart_leonk 1) Autoboot to PnM with the standard Vortex menu...

And this is what I ended up using, appropriating zardam's Return To Menu unibios mod and inserting the code ArcadeTV suggested into the path. I also changed the values at $80 from 4646 to 4C4C although I admit I don't really understand what function that is serving. The instruction at $C1BBC6...

Here is a version that can exit to the Vortex menu, big thanks to the chunk of code provided by @ArcadeTV. On cold boot it goes to the Vortex menu. Warm Unibios reset stays at the same selected title and PnM doesn't activate. On cold boot+Start it goes to PICKnMix. Warm Unibios reset stays...

Thanks for the info, yeah in this case, since this is for existing carts the game rom can't be changed and indeed the amount of available space in the bios is becoming vanishingly small. Will just have to be included as a known bug. At least it still seems to work and has cheats, just need to...

Great info, should make implementing something pretty easy. I finished the 24 hour test with no issues. I checked every title with two loops around the menu and no other issues like Riding Hero. The only new thing to note is that the Unibios in-game menu is corrupted on Zintrick but upon...

With the qualifier that the auto-boot into PnM was already done for me, yeah I can do a couple different things with it either revert the auto-boot entirely or reverse the behavior so that holding start boots normally which will send to the vortex menu. I've tested both out in Mame and can get...

Thanks, I'm hoping to put the file up this weekend as a beta I guess for others to start testing, just want to make sure I've got most of the possible issues checked myself first. The Riding Hero issue is fixed with the last change and doesn't seem to have affected any other titles. I found I...
