boss form change ? (I have no idea what this actually is)
show hitbox
something about 'reproducing' arcade bgm?
arcade bgm version
lock sound volume
ship select time out
free play

I think the "boss form change" option puts lines on the bosses' life bars to show where a form change happens
Ahh! Yep that's it. I was testing it with a save state and apparently that doesn't work like I expected.

How come in AC Challenge mode, I didn't die but it still rewinds me? I feel it has something to do with the actual scoring mode to get chips or something? I was too hype to even read the text (I read Japanese slowly) anyone know why?

Edit: I was just too hype to read it lol, I see them now.

That's going to be a nightmare for those of us who can't read Japanese. To anyone who can, feel free to post here with any type of translation. I was flicking through the manual and it seems very extensive.

You need to succeed 3 times in a row in the spot where you died, shouldnt be a scoring thing. On Spartan mode you can't bomb either, practice for reaching Ura loop I guess.

Thanks a lot for the settings menu translations! Haven't had issues with much else but been looking for that setting to restart after ship select. By the way the FREE PLAY option probably adds slowdowns to the game. It does on arcade version. I noticed you also get the glitch where ship select timer is blue if you immediately push start on free play.

Any chance that the IKD label roms can be extracted for pcb usage, ala Guwange Blue label?

Hey Dan! My advice is to use the Google Translate app on a smart phone. You can point the camera at any foreign language source and it will translate it to English in real time. For the best result take a photo and translate so the source image is stable.

I'm so backwards when it comes to phones and stuff. Cheers.

Making progress through challenge mode, feels pretty good no bombing and no missing a boss considering it's Ketsui. Not only are there missions for both ships, the is a round 2 and Special Round. I guess these are the Ura loop and IKD versions. A ton of stuff to get through, but by the end of it this game will be de-clawed!

Anyone else finding the IKD version easier than regular arcade? It's weird.

Try playing it not dad kuso style for score, it becomes a risky nomiss game pretty quickly as the radius for 5chip is greatly reduced.

Is the beep sold out version really worth this much?

That's cheap. It's a piece of cardboard with the cave logo so it's only going to increase in value.

With that said I've got 2 and 1 is signed by horii, I'll trade them both for a sdoj pcb. 8)

Hahah yeah.

How did you get the signed ones? Was it just a random selection of people that managed to get one from the pre-order?

Beep was selling them for a short time:

https://www.beep-shop.com/ec/products/detail/979

Same price as the regular boxed set, but I bet they'll resale for more on eBay. :?

Oh cool didn't even know they offered that. When I first saw it thought it was 29 random selected buyers.

I didn't order online. Mine was signed by Horii in store so that's why there is only 1 signature.

Super glad my box isn't signed.

I get that M2 did the port, but getting a signature off this Horii chap, over original Cave development staff, is a bit of a stretch of fame isn't it? But hey, whatever floats your boat...

With the respect, dedication and attention to detail M2 has made these ports with, the signature is more than well placed.
There's nothing wrong about being proud of good work. What a weird comment.

The Basicscape soundtrack isn't bad at all.

I wish they would have put the soundtrack done by Jake Kaufman on it. But since it's on another game, maybe that was off the table.

haha fair enough, I got one unsigned as well so I guess I'm good. This horii chap is a bit of a legend for the shmup scene atm though even if he isn't a creator.

btw if you're the same dj sheep from the hip hop scene then I saw you at the metro in melb way back in the day.

I got it now. The Basicscape and Virt Soundtracks are really good. The Orchestral Soundtrack for MD almost made it a new game for me (as weird as that is to say).

I wonder what they'll do for ESP Ra.de.? They're doing some kicking stuff with the soundtracks (most of them).

Hey mate, indeed M2 has done, and continues to do great things. It was merely an observation, not in any way sayin' he's irrelevant. Sorry if it offended anyone.

Yeah, I'm "that" DJ Sheep... what show was it at the Metro? The one with J-Zone?

Nah it was a comp, maybe a DMC(?) in early 2000s. I'm mates with some old obese crew and would tag along to a bunch of shit. I was really into lyrical commission at the time and j-red was in something at the same show. I can't remember much but your name stuck out. Hip hop and shmups, good taste.
