May wanna start marking if anyone starts playing with the newer versions that got dumped to MAME in the last few years, apparently there are minor design differences.

I was gonna make this as well but I'm not really sure. Interestingly the earlier version do have consistent autofire when I tried in MAMEPlus 0.119 and things are not same again in ShmupMAME 4.2 (delay frequency, pointblank with spreadshot are not possible). But yeah there are few enemies that are tend to releases more shots on latest Japan 951225 revision.

I feel like such a jerk, you were the one who replied in that thread! Sorry about that.

I was mistaken for turning the game off early before I capture the score (the last 3 digits are bit fuzzy to remember), but this is what I remembered now. If anyone (especially high score poster) have suggestion whether I should have posted this or not, please correct me.

Made a huge mistake on Outerlimits and fail to utilize F.Blacker's safespot (which results 3 chain death).

I'm enough with this game now

Updated with M.Knigh's score.

Be sure to post it here if you have another score to submit.

I can't score a full potential with Mosquito but it did things more harder.
Guess my score in table was Shinden indeed.

Is there any difference between japanese roms?
Saying about 951207, 951225 and 960104.

I asked Despatche recently about version differences and he says "apparently 951225 has better default autofire and enemies fire more often or something like that." He couldn't find any details on 960104 outside of the fact it's a recently dumped rom. All I know is Jaimers used 951225 and that's good enough for me.

[now that I'm looking at the rest of this thread, apparently copy-paster said all of this before... I wonder if anything else has been discovered since then]

And while we're asking questions, I've heard destruction bonus is impossible in two of the stages. Why is this, a glitch or is it something else?

I feel a little silly posting a score that's not a clear, but I'm gonna do it anyhow as a reminder to myself in the coming weeks and months how much I can improve. This is a game that appealed to me years ago, before I'd ever started playing shooters as regularly as I do today. Kept procrastinating for this one, I guess I convinced myself I should wait, save the best for later. I've only cleared console and indie shmups until now, makes sense to me that my first arcade clear would be the one that sparked my interest in the genre.

ou can do it if you try a little more. This game is not so hard like other shmups.

How are you handling bombs? I get the impression with this game that bombing isn't nearly as punished as some games which is part of why I'm attracted to playing it for score. In fact, a few bosses honestly seem impossible to S rank without a planned bomb.

I am bombing more than I want in stage 6.
Hope bomb less in next runs.

That is true if you is playing 951225 with mosquito.
Bosses have much more stamina in 951225 version. Guess which only Jamers used 951225 version in this table, but Lightning is overpower then you can use it and still get a good score in this version.

Would be curious to know which version of the game is most commonly used in Japan. I have no illusion I'll break any WR but I'd still like to be on the same page, as it were.

Updated. And impressive score!

Mosquito feels too slow for me, Lightning suit best for scoring I guess. Been a while since I post my last score here.

There's apparently European version of 19XX which is added on MAME 0.215, hmmmmm I wonder if this version is same as any other region.

I've tried USA, Japan 95 and 96 ROM and well it looks like they're pretty much same from what I know. I feel like stage 6 in USA version is tad harder but maybe it's just me.

You mean 100% destruction bonus right? Yeah in stage 5 and 6 is pretty much impossible because well enemies are all over the place and not to mention st5 has tank factory and st6's zako swarm + aimed bullets

Nice there. I haven't look it myself because slow connection, might take a glance sometime.

Assuming that you are perhaps Brazillian (based on your video description) why you not use Brazil ROM of 19XX? Apparently there is one

Never tested Brazil ROM.

Thanks!!!

It's a start. This game isn't nearly as difficult as I remember...

copy-paster · Joined: 30 Apr 2015 Posts: 1067 Location: Indonesia

This game's difficulty shines in st5's enemy base onwards. Always remember to use bombs and charge bombs precisely, because Lv3 charged bomb is WOAH IT'S BEAUTIFUL
