if you go into the All Games section in MAME32 and double click Metal Slug, perhaps it'll give you an error message to explain why it's not recognised...
Or get a hold of NeoRage too. Unzip it to your mame folder and it can share the roms folder with it. Just run the rom importer and it makes it's own ini file for your roms.
The sequel runs fine, but will look for the Neo-Geo BIOS as Muttley suggested.
those errors aren't BIOS related, they mean your mslug romset isn't up to date (there seems to have been a redump between 0.79 and 0.80 for some reason, so the checksums are different), so you can either use that romset with a version of MAME older than 0.80, or you can get the current romset from somewhere (eg. playagain.net)
And every time I pick up the phone
It flashes up ‘Revenge’

Okay, am grabbing the new rom set from there now.
Should the Neo-Geo bios roms be in the mame32 roms folder?
The latest version of ClrMame Pro will convert the Metal Slug ROM (and about twenty other Neo-Geo ROMs which also changed in the same way) to the MAME .80 and onwards version, without having to redownload anything. In ClrMame, you gotta to tick this specific checkbox: 'Scanner' -> 'Checksums' -> 'Run Analysis' and 'Fix File if possible' - then do a scan. Worked for me just now. If you've never used ClrMame be warned there's a bit of a learning curve... I deleted some roms by accident once.
