Weird question: Can I get red blood in Metal Slug?
erictrumpet:
Hi all,
I love the Metal Slug series of games but the white-colored "blood" from the enemies is really weird. It looks like they are vomiting or something. I figured it must be an attempt to tone down the violence in the game, so I went into the settings and switched around the region and everything else I could think of, with no luck. I never played these games before MAME so I dont know if they ever used red blood in the graphics on any coin-op machines or other platforms. I am not generally a fan of gory games, but I'd rather see cartoonish red blood than milky white puke when I kill an enemy. The sound they make when they die sounds like puking too. Heck, the Metal Slug games are so wacky that maybe they are supposed to be puking. Told ya it was a weird question! :)
Eric.

Hi. If your using a front end like mame 32 You can turn on the blood option through the service menu. Once the game is loaded press f2 to enter the s. menu. Then select setting up the soft dip ( slot 1) That's were you'll find the game options including blood .
You will find alot of games that have a service menus including all of the neo geo games. :)

I'm using an older version of MAME (.84), but the DIP settings are accessible via the Tab key regardless of front end.

The service menu settings are in addition to the regular dip switches available by using the tab key. They are part of the pcb's software on some arcade games, not physical switches. :)

I misunderstood the Tab vs. F2 part... I thought the stuff from the service menu was available from the Tab menu. Thanks for setting it straight.
