CAVE STGs will not support iOS 11

[Goompaolo9500]

One time when I was playing Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu/Espgaluda 2/Mushihimesama, I noticed that the a dialog says that this app may slow down and may not work on iOS 11. At this rate indeed, the only one possibly working is Gothic wa Mahou Otome. iOS 11 is out now but other shmups like R-Type II has support for iOS 11, Taito keeping RAY series shmups updated for iOS. When will CAVE update DDPDOJ,DDPDFK,Mushihimesama,Mushihimesama Futari(w/Black Label),Espgaluda 2(AC,SP,HD apps),Deathsmiles,and Mushihimesama Bug Panic(Main App and Bug Timer)?

Inspiration,eh?

Too many apps doesnt support ios11, especially those abandoned by developers for this or that reason.

For me its #fuckios11 though, and not vice versa. For same reason i have 2nd device with ios7 for apps that i really need that doesn work under ios10

Maybe i-devices with old OS versions and full sets of CAVE games will one day reach prices like sought after PCBs

What about those japanese i-mode/yahoo mobiles with j2me-like Cave games?(

I'm planning to buy an Ipad Mini 2 especially for the Cave ports. Hopefuly i'm gonna find one with Ios 10 or lower

Is there any kind of statement on Cave's side? I mean they're still selling those games...they must have some kind of a plan

iOS 7 to iOS 10 is compatible. In my case it worked on iOS 10. If Taito did update RayForce and RayStorm both for iOS despite RayCrisis released for iOS, I wish CAVE will do the same for Dodonpachi and Mushihimesama Series and Espgaluda.

Depending on app, i mean. Many apps were broken on when ios went from 7 to 8/9/10.

I fear they have already essentially called it quits and the plan is probably to liquidate their assets soon.

Former CAVE devs just released a new game that supports iOS 11 tho:

Nah, James Wragg who works at Degica confirmed they are still working on future releases for Steam but it will take time.

I imagine most of their effort is spent on Gothic wa Mahou Otome and they have little bandwidth for much else.

Quick question. Do all Cave shmups work on iOS 10.1.1? Or simpler put, do they work on any relative recent iOS except 11?
I'm looking to buy an 2nd hand Ipad specially for them and i want to get the right iOS.

Thankss!

If you can buy a used mini iPad 2 with firmware 9.3.5, all said Cave iOS games work just fine. That's the firmware I've got currently on my mini iPad 2 with Retina display setup (2014 release production model) -- the resolution can go up to 1080p if so desired. Heck, even Aka to Blue will run on that minimum spec mini iPad 2 spec.

Most of the ones i've found online have iOS 10 or 11

I could probably jailbreak it and install a lower iOS version (never had an iOS device, but i'm almost certain it can be done), but i'd like to avoid it if possible.

You mean the apps from CAVE WORLD? Up to iOS 10.3.3.

Spoiler

I wish the ex-CAVE members would remind the CAVE staff for sure if Tanoshimasu will do that.

Gotcha! I mean the HD ones should be updated, also update Dodonpachi Maximum and I wish there will be an HD release for iOS on Dodonpachi Daioujou and Deathsmiles.

Edit:Speaking of Dodonpachi Daioujou, there should be a Black Label Version of it since it's been 15 years of Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label.

Looks like the those CAVE shmups wiill be in need to be updated. CAVE WORLD may be abandoned but still if only the developers will update them to 64 bit and the "CAVE WORLD" button needs to be changed since it directly moves to the official website of CAVE.
