Raiden DX counterstop

cools · Post by **cools** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:47 pm

So, a mate of mine has triggered the infinite lives bug that only he seems capable of (again), and rather than switching the cab off I've left it running for the past 24 hours - letting the death shrapnel take care of any bosses.

Score currently stands at 31m. Anyone care to guess (or care at all) whether it'll counter stop or rollover?

if you can take pics or make a video of this please do.

cools · Post by **cools** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:04 pm

I will take vids at various points throughout the way from now on (33m)

proper reply:

is it an original board?
default settings, etc?
have you seen him somehow activate this glitch whilst playing?
is the pcb door of your cab locked?

i googled this phenomenon and this thread was the only (proper) hit

sounds fishy, but looking forward to the vids mate

I would like to see the vids, too...

Original board (not aware of any bootlegs of it).

Difficulty is set to easy. He has glitched it when it's been on normal. Last time the glitch was on P2, this time it's P1. If I start P2 during this run, P2 can die as normal.

Board is on freeplay - this could perhaps be a part of it?

He doesn't actually know how he's doing it - I might not have seen it because I rarely venture outside of Alpha. It's only happened once before now. Nothing untoward is done, just presses start and somehow never hits the game over/continue screen.

Raiden DX Novice and Advanced modes counter stop at 10,000,000, so there must be something wrong.

the plot thickens....

curious what version it is, the original Raiden 2 hardware, or the more recent china/surface mount version??

the raiden games don't actually counterstop at 10m. japanese records just stop counting over 10mil (or 100mil in fire shark's case) in multiloop games.

raiden 1 does actually counterstop at 99999990, not sure about 2/dx though.

It seems like I've managed to trigger infinite lives at least once on my DX board as well, although I haven't got a clue how it happened. I think in my case it was on a 2-player game.

is about right.

The guy over there would probably sing you a song about 'I wanna see your board from the start, and come to your house and eat your out of house and home, so I know you aren't cheating.'

And then, he would probably say you cheated.

46m. Another video taken. Will try and get them uploaded to Youtube today - the last one (100mb) failed to upload so I'll play with it first.

Edit: Original Raiden 2 hardware, not the SMT one.

cools · Post by **cools** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 11:45 am

Hmm, Youtube is totally mangling the videos.

I'll rapidshare them or something later.

if you turn it upside down, it's almost like a different piece

And that guy perhaps would be none other than Walter Day (or one of his Twin Galaxies score reps). ^_~

I recall seeing Walter Day at both the 2004 California Extreme and the 2004 Classic Gaming Expo shows. You couldn't miss him with his trademarked referee shirt. ^_~

so what score is this up at by now then? has your cab melted yet?

cools · Post by **cools** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:02 pm

Score is at 85m at the moment. Monitor is being powered off when I'm out

Still need to find somewhere I can upload a video or two to, via FTP. http is failing epically.

cools · Post by **cools** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:00 pm

And the answer is, it rolls over at 99999990, and glitches the lives display.!

Still trying to figure out what to do with the vids I've taken...

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:05 pm

cool that it rolls over. a counter stop on raiden dx really isn't possible then

have you finally turned it off then?

cools · Post by **cools** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:12 pm

I'll have to in a bit, I want to play the damn game properly being able to die

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:22 pm

i will be keeping a close eye on your score thread at AO for any shenanigens...

cools · Post by **cools** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:27 pm

This bug can't be exploited for high scores, you can't die and get onto the table.
