R-Types (PSX) vs. R-TYPE PCBs

Post by RuffNEC »

hi, I've read here a while ago that the resolution of R-TYPE 1 isn't as perfect as the PCB Original. Is this true? Where are the differences? I mean there is an option to emulate exactly the PCB Original incl. the slowdowns

I think it looks really really close to the original; A recent Retro Gamer magazine has a coverage on the R-Type serie; they talk about the PSX version and said that Irem went through the painfull process of disasembling the PCB firmware and then re-coded it on the playstation to get a most faithfull conversion.
