Possibly the most frustrating game ever made. The game developer tries to kill the player at on every move made to the point where it seems ridiculous. The game can be beaten but requires you to think out of the box. Definitely not your everyday Super Mario game.

Think you can beat it? Download is available here.

Seriously, THIS pokemon pwns harder than Ash’s Pikachu.

Also, if you’re interested and free enough, you may also make your own

Better record down all the instructions here before I forget.

I had the urge to playing ROMs on emulators but this time a newer game - Metal Slug 5. Supposedly, the neoragex emulator that I used to support last time was said to be excellent and the best for older games but from Metal Slug 3 onwards, MAME and Kawarks emulators are better.

Bloody problem is that these are harder to use and I’m reading so many documentations so earnestly, I might as well study them for my course. T_T

Recording for future reference in case I ever get the urge to play again 5 years later.

MAME Emulator Resources

Basically MAME works like this:

• Requirements
1. MAME Emulator - list of emulators: http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html
2. Neogeo Bios file - obtainable here: http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=22504
3. Compatible ROM file

• What do the above mean?
1. It’s a list of emulators and not just one because the original MAME emulator is command prompt based. Means you do a Run then type cmd then yadda yadda yadda crap. As of this writing, frontend MAME (means with GUIs) that are highly recommended from several sites and forums is MAME32. Unfortunately, as of this writing, the creators hosted it on fileplanet that requires a account with fileplanet to download. Means you need to sign up. Means you need to pay.
2. Neogeo BIOS file is required because game roms needs a "parent" rom in order to run. Think of the game roms as "extensions" of the main system.
3. Compatibility is important! NeorageX bios/rom files will not work with MAME and Kawarkz bios/rom files, etc etc. Each rom file type is compatible with its corresponding emulator only.

• Instructions (need to read above section in order to understand for troubleshooting)
1. Acquire the three things listed in the requirements.
2. Extract the MAME32 Emulator.
3. Navigate to the folder /MAME32/ROMS
4. Put the ROM and BIOS file together into that folder
• Tip #1: ROM and BIOS file must remain in .zip folder. DO NOT UNZIP.
• Tip #2: Both .zip files must be in the same folder. If other emulators allow multiple folders for better organization of roms, the BIOS file must be duplicate for every single folder that has a ROM in it.
5. Launch MAME32.exe
6. It will auto find the library of roms. Else, press F5 to make it initialize.

• Other Resources/Sites for MAME
1. Official site: http://www.mame.net/
2. Official site’s FAQ: http://www.mame.net/mamefaq.html

*NOTE: Applicable to MAME ONLY

The above is for Neogeo games. For MAME games, the BIOS file would be http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=31622 Just use the above instructions but substitute the Neogeo BIOS file with this MAME BIOS file.

#Tip: Both Neogeo and MAME BIOS file can coexist together in the /roms folder. So can their games.

Apparently, quiz is this coming Thursday and another on week after that.

Still, that’s just an extra week. But I’m wasting that week away playing Heroes of Might and Magic V. Everytime I finish studying one chapter, I reward myself with playing 3 scenarios (meaning the rest of the day). I can’t get anything done like this.

It’ll be shit if I fail university just because I played too much games. Gah…
