Strange sound in Bakraid

Post by ptoing »

Was playing Bakraid on mame earlier and got a red exclamationmark underneath the autofire number and the game made a fucking annoying warning sound every now and then.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Oh, it was the unlimited version.

It's a sound that lets you know when you have a chain active. it makes the sound everytime you kill another chainable enemy. If you go to the Sheep's site, you can see the actual input to get it going. If you hold down C and press up, a little timer will appear in the corner that will let you know how long you have to continue your chain and also a score calculator that lets you know the value of enemies.

Yeah, its done by some weird code, something like left, up and left-up in a really fast motion or something, this makes the game put out a noise when you combo multiplier changes.

It is quite useful, as then you don't have to look in the top left of the screen when trying mad combos..
