This page details bugs of Metal Slug 2 (Neo Geo).

Metal Slug 2 is infamous for its poor performance on the original Neo Geo hardware (and accurate emulators), resulting in near-constant slowdown which makes the game crawl along at a pace unlike the rest of the series. While this is partly the result of a poorly optimized engine, there is also a bug in the main program's framerate-locking code, found in 241-1.p1 (MAME ROM naming). Metal Slug 2 is locked to a maximum of 30 frames per second, updating only on odd frames. The bug in question crops up when slowdown causes the game to consistently miss odd frames, since it will then wait a further two frames before updating. The result is that when the game should be dropping to 20 FPS, it instead drops to 15 FPS and when it should be dropping to 10FPS, it instead drops to 7.5 FPS. When genuinely dropping to framerates which don't cause the game to miss odd frames (such as 15 FPS), the issue is not seen.

trap15 (see source) documented the bug with the following pseudocode and created a patch which corrects this behavior: it does not make any further modifications to the engine, so the result is slowdown that occurs with the same frequency as the stock game, but with much-reduced severity.

The second Metal Slug game. Buggy enough to have the bugfix released as a separate game, Metal Slug X.

It is worth noting this Debug Menu is shared by Metal Slug 2, X, 3, 4, and 5.

To access the debug mode, open the game in Console Mode and set debug developer mode On at the Neo Geo boot up screen: this can be done via the Kawaks emulator, the Nebula emulator or using the Neo Geo UniBios.

Enter the game, and press COIN up twice during gameplay: after pausing, the debug menu will appear - with options to activate the debug dipswitches (which can be activated separately through other options using Kawaks) and even the ability to play on any regular level, and even some test levels not available in the actual game. There is also a Sound Test screen and Color Test screen.

ステージ　セレクト - Stage Select.

• ＴＥＳＴ１　ｆｏｒ　ＡＮＤＹ　ＴＨＥ　ＷＩＺＡＲＤ contains the final area of Mission 6, with a Metal Slug, an Armour Piercer, a Shotgun, a Rocket Launcher, a Flame Shot, a Laser Gun, and a single soldier there.
• ＴＥＳＴ２　ｆｏｒ　ＹＡＭＡＤＡ is the beginning of Mission 4, with a Slug Flyer, three aliens and Rumi Aikawa there. A little further ahead are five prisoners who all give you Rocket Launchers, but strangely, after you pass the first building, everything explodes, and it acts as if you completed a mission.
• ＴＥＳＴ３　ｆｏｒ　ＹＯＫＯ－ＳＨＵ allows you to play around in the ending credits! If you hold down the jump, fire, or grenade button, the credits speed up.
• ＴＥＳＴ４　ｆｏｒ　ハマチャン　ＹＥＨ (Hama-chan YEH) appears to be exactly the same as Mission 5, except it claims to be Mission 1, you walk in instead of parachuting in and after beating the boss, it will act like having completed the game.
• ＴＥＳＴ５　ｆｏｒ　ＫＯＮＤＯＵ is an entirely empty version of Mission 1, with no background, oddly placed and missing pieces of the foreground, and other errors.
• ＴＥＳＴ６　ｆｏｒ　ＴＡＫＡＤＡ is also Mission 1, but this has a background and is entirely empty, other than Rumi Aikawa and a red helicopter appearing right at the start, and later on there’s an invincible truck carrying a Metal Slug.
• ＴＥＳＴ７　ｆｏｒ　ＮＡＫＡＴＵＫＡ is simply an empty version of the final part of Mission 6, but claims to be Mission 1.
• ＴＥＳＴ８　ｆｏｒ　ＴＡＧＵＣＨＩ is simply an empty Mission 3, other than a few planes you fight at the beginning.
