Could the ship in Raiden III POSSIBLY be any slower?!...

Yeah to be specific it sounds ALOT like the 1st level music of castlevania(Vampire Killer is the track name)... and it has been rehashed in at least 10 Castlevania games in the last 20 years.

Superplay is the second option under the Replay & Gallery entry from the main menu. It's broken into stages, I forget the unlock criteria but it's probably completion of the stage or previous stage.

Yeah, completion of stages is the requirement. You cleared this game with a DualShock??

That's some crazy skills right there! I didn't know you could play PS2 games with the DualShock1, I thought you could only use PS1 controllers with PS1 games.

If the game doesn't use the presure sensitivity thing, you can use a Dualshock 1 without any problems.

Actually, if the game doesn't force on using analog controls, you can even use a non-dualshock PS1 pad. That's how my arcade control is built (from a PS1 digital pad), and it works well with every shmup and brawler I have so far.

Ok, great, thanks for that info!

BTW, would you mind posting a pic of your arcade control setup?

For those playing the PC version, is there any way to configure the keyboard controls? I personally dislike controlling movement with my right hand (arrow keys)...

EDIT

Nevermind, figured it out

Here it is

I have another one that's basically identical to this one, but the colors are reversed (Start and Select are yellow, main buttons are blue)

sorry for the shitty picture, This was taken with a webcam, as I have no digital camera here with me

That's a great picture; thanks!

Great setup! Well, a few days ago, I got my highest score ever using the original PS1 controller.

Been playing the PC version with my 2P X-Arcade stick and I thought it was the transition from Dualshock (with PC adapter) to a proper stick that made the Raiden III ship sluggish. . . .well, maybe not !!

Although, I must admit that the X-Arcade stick seems to have a lot more travel than a gamepad which makes control of ANY ship seem slow.

Anybody else had plenty of experience with the X-Arcade ???

Crack that puppy open and adjust the actuators on the microswitches. You can adjust it so that all you have to do is switch. They're knockoff Happ Supers, so if you really want an improvement you'll have to switch sticks. If you're worried about throw and such, pick up a Mag-Stick and adaptor plate.
