Huh. So you don't actually need to no-miss the first loop (and apparently you missed the 8 TP on stage 15) to get into 2nd loop RB?

Nice run on the Griffin, by the way. Hard ship.

BulletMagnet - 34,244,202 - Fairy - Phase 1 - MAME

I think this was the Japan version (used the "main" ROM in MAME without any of the smaller add-ons).

I really want to like this game more than I do.

The "master" rom is the US version, or some international version at least. rfjetj is the japan rom.

It is international version originally but it's US... you can change it to japan using dipswitch JP1 in MAME

Hmm, okay, US version then. That's kinda weird though, since I remember seeing add-on RFJ ROMS labeled "USA" or something like that...anyways, you know better than I do where to put it, heh heh.

note for smraedis: I'm on the US list twice, which looks like an error.

After many, many hours of trying to make sense of the final 2 boss' patterns, and many many many more close but unlucky runs, I succeeded where I failed at Battle Garegga.

for the jp rom:
Vorpal - Ixion - 112,062,222 - ALL3 - Mame

Level progression: 1, 5, 15, 30, 45, Phase 1, Phase 2

Phase 1 and 2 don't really bother me anymore. It's level 45 that consistently kicks my ass... no room for error there at all. Anyway, time to find another shmup!

I think that's stage 40, a nice bomb collecting stage that you get if you die on a previous stage. The added bombs give you a glimmer of hope of still reaching the final-final boss, I think, but I've never done it ;p

Japan Rom

stanski - Miclus - 104,331,800 - Phase 2 - Mame

woot miclus love! Sucks there are so many characters and we don't have seperate tables for them, as using the slave is a big advantage, but I just don't like using unlockable characters in shmups (something always feels wrong or overpowered, like its a cheat code in both this and garegga).

Big thanks to smraedis for showing me how to understand this game at the London Summer Shmup Minimeet this weekend.

smraedis mate - am I right that the special Slave ship activated by holding bomb and start is Slave (Ixion)?

Anyway. US Version:

spadgy - 29,628,300 - Slave (Ixion) - Level 30 - [PCB]

Hurray! My copy of Raiden Fighters Aces came in today. And since RFJ is the only one I can get a somewhat decent score on, here you go:


jp - 48,185,890 - Judge Spear(?) - Phase 1 - Xbox360 (arcade difficulty)


Almost got the 50mill achievement, but I was out of bombs and had had a dumb death back at one of the bosses, so the Phase 1 boss wiped me out since it was my first time seeing it. Bah! Still not entirely sure how the medals work though. I know how to get the 2mill medal to appear, but I'm not sure how to make all the medals gold bars after that. Sometimes it happens after I snag it, sometimes it doesn't. Guess I need to read a guide or something. 8)


Anywho, sure I'll have more whenever exams are out. Just took the day off to check these games out though. I'll post a picture uh... soon as I get figure out how to get pics to my computer with my new phone. :)

In order to trigger the medal bars, you have to build and collect the big 2 mil thing, and then somehow get 10-12ish more medals of any value to appear on the screen. They will all explode suddenly, and then your new medal chain will begin. Usually this is done by making a miclus appear, and making him puke medals until they do their exploding-thing ;-P

Awesome! Thanks man! Will try that later on!


Is that how the medals work in RF and RF2 as well? Get it up to the 9000 medal and then get 10-12 on the screen?

smraedis told me at the recent London shmupmeet it's nine medals on-screen at once, and not including floating ones (or at least not including floating ones magantised to your slave, so pick 'em off quick).

Seemed to work on screen...

Yeah spadgy, you got it right with the ship type.

It seems to be just 9 or so medals on the screen at one time, if a floating medal connects to another, it becomes 1 medal again, so it is best to aim for a part when there are a lot of ground medals (like the trains) or shoot a miclus fully, as they shoot out enough medals.
