A couple notes on Ketsui MAME - you will want to change the default settings on the ROM that is floating around as it is set to easy and no continues. To change the settings just hit F2 which takes you to the test menu, go to 7. Game and in there you can set the difficulty to Normal (or Hard or Very Hard) and turn on the rapid shot (C button) so you don't have to tap button "a" to get the shot, just hold down "c" button for shot and hold down the "a" button for the lock on shot (B button is bomb) or however you configure your stick / pad / keyboard). 6. System is where you can turn on continues if you want to credit feed so you can at least see the whole game once. Also there are still some minor sound glitches to the emulation, but nothing to lose any sleep over - future revisions should be able to fix this (top men or working on it).

he retired from ilx :(

Nhex, Friday, 2 March 2012 23:47 (twelve years ago) link

my understanding is that he has somewhat un-retired and has been posting here occasionally, but under a different, considerably shorter name...

lol who is that masked man
Grev have some new games, an HD version of the Dreamcast game Under Defeat juat came out for PS3/360, and there are games coming soonish for 3DS and Vita. these are all JP only at the moment though. picked up Senko no Ronde for £3(!) the other day, what a strange game.

zappi, Saturday, 3 March 2012 03:09 (twelve years ago) link

Bodacious. I don't have an X360 and have missed out on all the amazing XBLA re-releases.

four years pass...

I just caught the "Under Defeat" pun, that is such a bad pun that is like rapper-from-Leeds level punning

I'd love to see a Shmups poll hey I'd love to see that

Personally I love 3D rails shmups like Starfox 64 more than anything in the world, sad it didn't become a genre, but my faves in this genre otherwise are Galaga, Radiant Silvergun, Gradius V, Einhander and Life Force.. no Olympic-style workouts for me
