SD:Strikers 1945 bug - endless UFOs in stage 7

[DKA_Darius]

the stage 1-7 bug
Principle: power down completely, and destroy the middle boss quickly when it appear, the Intermediate boss cannot be destroyed quickly so choose the left and right side boss, and then there will be endless UFOs, the game is also freeze in this stage.
Don't shoot the red UFO or just don't leave over 1 power up in the screen, if there are two more power up in the screen, UFO will not appear any more.

This bug is found by my friend, you can use it for counterstop but spending a lot of time .

There are quite a number of counter-stop stuff and game-freeze. Final stage bosses can be frozen with Shinden fighter bomb if timed perfectly at key moment.

How come it wasn't banned from Gamest ranking if there's infinite leech?

[Mero]

Gamest/Arcadia only accept ALL scores, I believe.

[Gemant]

Maybe this bug is not known for Arcadia staff. Not all bugs / infinite pattern are known.

No, what Mero said is correct.

[Gemant]

Tons of games are banned for infinite pattern or bugs. But there are also games with infinite pattern not discover from Gamest or Arcadia staff, because are only rumors, unofficial or not tested. Some exemples: Tumble Pop, Aliens, Iga Ninjutsuden, Battle Bakraid Unlimited version etc.

Also in Blazing Star infinite pattern with Aryustailm is possible, but for Arcadia this ship is again accepted, while Pepols is banned from the beginning.

[Gemant]

This is another exemple: Daioh. This game was accepted in Japanese scoreboard for 20 years but in march 2013 an infinite pattern was discover, so Daioh from that moment was banned.

So it means that trigggering any infinite leech on Strikers 1945 prevents you from clearing the game? If so what happens: freeze, crash, else?

The screen freezes and unlimited enemies appear. You can't finish the game.

That's why the game is not banned from Arcadia eventhough they know about it. Arcadia only bans games with infinite pattrns when you can still play through them afterwards.

Thanks. Do you know if it was somewhat fixed on home version?

[Mills]

Not to my knowledge, though I have yet to see any ALL highscore on home version to suggest any cheating or bugs involved.
