And if you’ve not seen it on DC then you should get Ikaruga.
Not sure, I can't remember!!

Ahh yes, Ikaruga, another I've been meaning to get. Just testing Hexen :)

I'm assuming at this point that you have Metal Slug?

I don't have MS 5, just the original, so I do need to look for some of the later ones. Wasn't there a Metal Slug X?

What the hells...

Powered on the Saturn this morning and Nothing other than a black screen. There is definitely a signal so something is going on, but very frustrated.

Wondering if the PSU has gone south...

Damn. The PSU seems to be fine, it's a type C and should be giving 5v/5v/12v, which is is.

Type C PSU power pins front to back are: GND/GND/5v/5v/12v
