US Strikers in TATE??

Post by doctorx0079 »

Is there any way to make the US Strikers 1945 do TATE?

Or should I just get a PS X-Change and the import version? How much is the JP version there days anyway?

I've wondered if there isn't some sort of Gameshark code that could unlock Tate in the US release of Strikers 1945 Part 2.

At any rate, the Japanese version has seen a budget reprint in the Simple Super Lite Series. It has a painfully plain white cover but the game is complete. It shouldn't run you more than US $30 new.

I'm pretty sure the US version will not allow for tate, even with Gameshark, but I could be wrong.

That would be a good find. It is very hard to find a new copy these days. There is also the Saturn version, but on the whole people prefer the Jap PS1 version. I would expect to pay between $30-35 shipped for a used copy.

There is also the PS2 version which includes Strikers 1945 I as well.

Interesting, though that site is entirely in Japanese, afaik.

That's the main problem. Otherwise we could order import games real cheap. :? In any case, you could still buy the game as long as you have it ship to a Japanese postal address. :o

Any one in Japan willing to offer help? NTSC-J?

Does that PS X-Change 2 CD actually work? I ask this because I'm not up for screwing with my PS1's inards, but I'd like to get and play Gradius Gaiden and Raiden DX. Has anyone used this product before?

I've never had problems with mine, but it apparently has issues with games that use redbook audio (none of my import PS titles do). Gradius Gaiden and Raiden DX work perfectly with it.

He asked about the US PSX Strikers 1945, which is Strikers 1945 Part II. The PSX port of part 2 was handled better than the Saturn port. Although, the Saturn port of Strikers 1945 was handled much better than the PSX version.

what makes the PSX vers of part 2 better? I'm not doubting it, just curious to know why.

When these were coming out back then I usually bought the SAT vers b/c of the saturn being a 2D work hourse. Now that some time has passed I found out a few turned up better on the PSX due to poor programming on the SAT ect....
