This. I was looking forward to this week too. I thought that Gunbird 2 was a sure thingHerr Schatten wrote:
Can we have only games that work in older (or non-Windows-based) MAME builds too in next year's STGT, please?
Good call, I was kind of thinking the same.Skykid wrote: I figured it would be nice to discuss this one as the week goes on rather than clutter up the high score thread.

Yeah I can see that. It's a preference thing though, personally I love the game's outright aggression. I like my shmups to have guts about them, and everything about RF2 ticks the boxes.clp wrote:Stunning game absolute love it .It will be tough for new guys to it though .....

Man shmup: check
Bombastic soundtrack: check
Insane rank: check
Medal collecting: check
Massive explosions: check
One of the best chase-the-train stages ever: check
Hell diving: check
It's got it all, and I haven't even got off stage 3 yet!
It's a bit of a pisser that it won't emulate very easily though. One of our best players has already bowed out this week.
Damn right, that train is one of the best reasons to play it.clp wrote:Fully agree with you esepcially the train , i still give rf1 my fav of the bunch title though .Skykid wrote:Yeah I can see that.

Okay, figured this part out. Bit of a pisser there is no way of properly changing the formation with Judge Spear - not collecting anymore slave icons is pretty impossible at times.Skykid wrote:
Personally I'd like to know how to control the slave ship formations. They keep doing stuff I don't want them to and getting themselves blown up.

I made Shmupmame v2 work with the rdft2j2 rom. It didn't work with the regular rdft2j.Bananamatic wrote:Is there a way to play it with sound AND autofire? Or does mameui32 support autofire somehow?
Depending on your sum of lives and bombs, you'll get different formations after picking up a 3rd slave powerup. If the sum changes while you have a formation out, it will change only after you grab another slave, and both slaves need to be alive. If your ship has a charged attack (non-secret ships), they'll take a formation after using a charged attack.Skykid wrote: Okay, figured this part out.
