I highly disagree. Darius Gaiden is much faster paced than the older Darius games (which I happen to like). IMO, G-Darius is more like the older games in some ways. G-Darius goes back to the power up bar for upgrading weapons instead of instant power ups for weapons like in Darius Gaiden.

Another no miss, and finally, a no bomb too

There's MacMAME Unofficial+. Dig around and see if you can still find it. It's based on MAMEplus and supports autofire. It's an older version of MAME and didn't get any updates since, but it runs Darius Gaiden fine, provided your Mac is half-decent. (Unlike mine. It's skipping frames all over the place. From stage 4 onwards I get killed by invisible bullets just blinking into existence.)

I was looking for a link to that program earlier to send to him, but I couldn't find one that was still active. I'm sure it's out there... somewhere.

Edit: HAHA! Found a link...

woah dope!

but... how do you enable autofire? is there a key i can toggle or something? its not in the dipswitches

The Coop · Post by **The Coop** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 7:05 am

I wish I could help you, but I don't own a Mac myself. However, in MAMEPlus on the PC, you hit "Tab" to bring up a different menu than the dipswitch stuff, and it'll have an "Autofire setting" line in it. You select that, and set the delay for "P1" to 1 (it should be near the bottom of the list), and then turn autofire on for "P1 Button 1" (should be at the top of the list).

That's exactly the way it works in MacMAME Unofficial+, too.

Auto-fire is silly. Last time I played this game (after about 6 runs) I couldn't make it past stage D, and now... well... The above was my third run =)

After all the invaluable help from my teammates (thanks guys, and kudos to Randorama for the faq), my improvement isn't nearly as satisfactory as it should.

The PS2 autofire is painfully useless. And since bosses tend to last forever, my wrist is even more in pain than when I played Terra Cresta.

Also, capturing is useful only if you ALL the game and get the bonus. And whoa, capturing on stage 3 is hellish...

Okay, end of my rants for now

Got this setup and now with joy2key autofire works. Double Dickfish still manages to kill me. I got trapped inbetween those slow green pellets and him.

HEY! THe Coop is using lots of credits! Look at his screenshot! Disqualify now plz and autoban.

Goddamn, I think even Icarus and Sikraiken will have trouble with The Coop this week... I thought our team could be ahead of oldschoolers this week but , again, it will be a tough battle.

I doubt the game will stay unfinished by me before the end of the week, but 10 million is pushing it a little too much

But I believe at least one of my teammates will be able to get very close to 10mil, if not a better score.

Died trying to get the extend. Fuck. =/

This could have quite easily been ~500,000pts higher hadn't I played like a moron, but... meh. At least I'm progressing in terms of survival.

Nice job on your ALLs, zinger, The Coop, and javel.

The lack of firing back from Double Dealer and Deadly Crescent compared to Neon Light Illusion is almost insulting, heh.
