ibara black label bug/glitch

bay · Post by **bay** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:18 am

has anyone with a black label pcb experienced any bugs? i just had an interesting one, unfortunately by the time i got my camera things got into a not so buggy state and of course i wasnt paying attention and died.

1) started at the second boss, the first part where there is the flying cannon. at times it comes at you and goes off screen and comes back.. well.. it never came back. the tank was just there doing nothing rolling backwards or whatever until an apparent time limit hit and the tank was the main boss. finished off the stage

2) stage starts with life bar from boss still on screen and overextended

3) midboss/bouncy thing. bouncy thing blew up. lots of nothing for awhile, then the stage continued.

3) stage continues with life bar still on screen and overextended

4) approaching the 3rd stage boss a graphics glitch happens, background sprites get stretched in a box at the bottom of screen, boss appears. boss then goes off screen and there is alot of just flying over the background with no boss on the screen at all (i ran to get my camera but when i got back..) the boss restarts (or starts at its next mode?) as i wasn't ready i promptly died by bullets.

heres a capture of the stretch glitch from another run i just had.

anyone?

edit: the life bar was from the 2nd boss, edited to reflect that.
edit: added pics of stretch glitch

#1 has happened to me on a regular Ibara PCB once. Never had the others happen. I've never heard of people complaining about Ibara BL bugs, but then again I've only known a few people to play it seriously.

BTW, when did you get an Ibara BL kit? You should trade it in for Pink Sweets, it's a better game.

How much have you played of Pink Sweets?
Seriously, the game smokes Ibara BL in every way. It just
takes a lot of time to get into it.

maybe.. i played like 5-6credits in japan is all, didnt like it at all tho.

granted its not a bad game per se, i just dont see how i will ever click with the gameplay mechanic.

hmm. so #1 is present in the normal ibara.. that would make me think the dissapearing boss thing would happen on there too. it also would indicate that choice of character/ship in the beginning isn't part of the recreation of the bug.

i've had black label for awhile, but i'm getting ready to send it out to oxtsu so i've actually been playing it =p

Whats crazy are all those bugs bay mentions. Enough to make me not want to get BL, especially since I already have the regular PCB, and PS2 arranged ports. Lets see oxtsu's opinion after he plays it. Pink Sweets on the other hand, is more raizing goodness, a hard puzzle to figure out much like Batrider was/is in how to play it correctly.

just for the sake of documenting it, the graphics glitch (stretched background) did happen again, i might have misposted in the other thread it was probably at the same spot before the 3rd boss.

however it was just a graphics glitch, and not combined with the boss dissapearing glitch. this would imply that the glitch is a seperate state issue in the code, and not related to the boss dissapearing act.

everytime i play this game i have my camera right there now, but i've not hit a glitch yet since. =/

My board had background errors at the demorun at the 6th level and sometimes the complete game frezzes. Maybe I causes this problem cause I left the setupmenu with a power off, because I couldn`t leave it. The 1 and 2 player buttons at my cab where switch together with a insert coin.

I send it back after a week and took a mushihme board instead.
Anyway, I enjoyed it.:

demorun of the 6th level, hmm.

did the glitch exist EVERY time the demorun ran 6th level?

did you ever encounter the glitch during gameplay?

eckart · Post by **eckart** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 11:59 am

Yes, everytime and sometimes a total gamefreeze.

In the gameplay I didn`t notice one. But I only reach the third level at that time and could`t say if it there in gameplay.

-I enter the setupmenue because for activate the safe option. With no succsess.

- Did anybody know why this safeoption so often don`t work?

you mean the save highscores / enable ranking option?

mine worked when i switched it over last night, i tested across powerdowns as well.

i'll be curious if my glitches are gone now that i've enabled ranking. ive enabled and disabled and reset the board settings, nothing failed. i've not seen the glitch since either.

i kinda wanted to document the glitch of the missing bosses, but i should be happier my board isn't glitching up atm.

Sorry for the late reply.

- Yes, I mean the safe highscore / ranking option.

Hope your board works perfect now.

I notized one thing.- At the startup boot sequence , the first the numbers are in blue, and the others in white. Maybe a sign for the incorect working game.

oh....my!!!

for having played Pink Sweets many times, I really like it, but Ibara Kuro is really greater than PS and greater than many other Cave shooting games...but it's my opinion

for answering to Bay, my PCB of Ibara Kuro experienced some bugs, like all Cave's PCB of this same system (even if my Ibara never makes me any bugs...for now

but some friends of mine who have it and other games like ESP Galuda II for example, experienced some bugs)

my Ibara BL already freezes 2 times and once, it freezes during the loading and when I reboot it, the ranking table was completely bugged with some kind of graphics glitch

...but after a reset of the pcb, I haven't experienced any bugs for the moment

Crikey, all these bugs are interesting. I occasionally get a blue 'credit error' screen on Pink Sweets, which I presume is some kind of bug....reassuring to know bugs are quite common I suppose

Thats not a bug, that has to do with your supergun (or cabinet) setup with the coin-up switch getting stuck or staying on for to long (it thinks someone is hacking the coin slot).
