DryIce53 16 Apr 2020 21:08

GegeT2 18 Apr 2020 14:35
please put MVS for people (like me) who want to finish because in AES it's very hard gamethanks
SherryBirkin 24 Jun 2020 21:38
Salsa is no longer active, I will try to fix this set right after I finish my current projects
DryIce53 25 Jun 2020 00:10

So disappointed tha the set doesn't work. Tried every solution found but nothing works. Achievements show in the achievements section of the game but DON'T unlock!!!!
darky2003 30 Oct 2020 18:21

SherryBirkin 1 Nov 2020 21:56
All achievements only work on AES, if they are trying on MVS they will not work
Chaseroni 11 Nov 2020 02:15
For anyone that ran into issues, turns out I had a bad neogeo.zip using the "dip switch" changing bios to Asia AES
DryIce53 15 Nov 2020 03:53
mastered,aes mode worked,100% can get in metal slug 3,thanks R.A comunity to fix all chevvos of this game.
DryIce53 15 Nov 2020 03:57
use RALibRetro 1.3 FinalBurn Neo with aes mode,bios MVS Asia/Europe Ver. 6(1 slot),and smile for you and me :)
MatadorMaster 18 Nov 2020 01:50
Para activar los logros en Metal Slug 3 (NGM-2560) tienen que descargar neo geo bios y buscar (epo-po.bin) en 2 archivos luego de aadirlo dentro del archio .zip entran a retroarch y en opciones ponen Bios(AES) usando el nucleo FinalBurn Neo saludos
jared6502 12 Dec 2020 02:05
if you use RetroArch with the FB Neo core, do NOT switch in and out of exclusive full-screen mode, it will likely crash RetroArch
Seeler99 28 Jan 2021 06:58
Achievements only work for me when playing on AES and without modifying player lives ( default 3 )
Lulu1221 27 Apr 2021 22:29

Burgins 30 Apr 2021 04:56
I love these badge borders so much. Whoever made these badges did such a good job
testdriver69 11 May 2021 19:09
wow this game is hard !!!
zxmega 14 May 2021 17:48
As of today, MVS is allowed too
zxmega 10 Apr 2022 03:15
Due to the debug menu existing on AES, achievements only work on MVS now.
