MAMEPlus! 106 works like a charm. For anyone having problems, you can get it here...

Konami GX BIOS. You should find it easily with its name and Google.

Hattori HANZo - 262,000 - 1-5 - shmupmame 3.0b

I do not really like Salamander 2, but it is way better than V-V.

F5 should refresh your games
Providing you've put the rom file in the correct directory. Other than that.. :/

[Tigershark]

Got this working now. Thanks.

Battletoad - 184,500 - 1-3 - ShmupMAME

No time for the rest of the week and even today less time than I had expected, so this will have to do. Hoping for good games in the last two weeks.

Quite like it. The vertical level was quite a surprise.

Waiting to see if PS1 port players are permitted to submit scores.

[ShadowWraith]

ShadowWraith - 918,400 - 2-2 - MAME



I don't understand scoring in this game, or how the superplay manipulates so many options in the first stage, or how it gets so many points on the third boss. ._.

also i used vic viper

Great. If you die at the miniboss in Stage 6, your speed is too slow to navigate the relatively easy section before the final boss and you die again. >:\

[Hattori Hanzo]

including like 100k alone just from killing the Brain Golem in Stage 1.

But how?
I spent a long time with a save state where I had Laser and two Options. I tried to mimic the super play, where it dies pretty fast, exactly and by the looks I'd say I've done it. But the damn thing just does not want to die!
Where the trick with this fella?

Basically, get 2 fully powered options at the start of the level, then grab laser/ripple + missile and manuever them so they're inside the tail segment. Autofire away and if it gets near the middle of the screen, option bomb it to finish it quickly.

Oh, found a video of this.

[CulDad78]

Ok, finally a game i'm good at.

...and, apparently i'm not.

I understand there are some big boss bonuses that i'm not getting at all, but that only accounts for a portion of the disparity.

Only have 1 day before a trip...so gonna have to get something else better than this...ughhh

culdad78 - 209,200 - 1-4 (boss) - SAT-J

[cj iwakura]

Yeesh. I want my vert sections back!



cj_iwakura - 3-1(?) - 88,200 - MAME

[CulDad78]

Well, 3 hours is about all i'm going to get at this one...too bad because i'm def. better at this than the first 2 :/

Unless we get back from our trip very early on Sunday, this will be my final submission:

culdad78 - 299,500 - 1-6 - SAT-J

[Kiken]

Kiken - 387,800 - 1-6 - MAME

[ED-057]

ED-057 - 404,900 - 1-5 - MAME

tried like 20 times to kill the thing on stage 1, it did not die even once

[DJ Incompetent]

DJ Incompetent - 367,800 - 1-6 - PS1

ColonelFatso - 236,000 - 1-3 - MAME

Only run so far to hit the first-level miniboss bonus.

[Aettaa]

Aettaa - 461,500 - 1-6 - MAME

I'm not sure how this happened. I switched to player 2 and suddenly I kill the stage 1 eye thing and make it pretty far into stage 6.

[PlatinumHawke]

PlatinumHawke - 534600 - Stage 6 - MAME Plus XT

Feeling reasonably confident that I can loop this one.

[Mero]

got the stage 1 and 4 techs,

What's the one on stage 4?

[SuperSoaker360]

SuperSoaker360 - 212,200 - 1-2 - ShmupMAME 3.0b



Okay, fuck this game.

[Voxbox]

How to option bomb?
