The scoring is already fun as it is but in Arrange it's visually much more rewarding and challenging. Shame that mode wasn't added to the PCB like Black Label DOJ
This is why PCSX2 is actually useful as an emulator.
I feel your pain. I am not exaggerating when I say I have seen that exact thing 10 times, no problem. Still haven't cleared it!
Well hey man, don't let it get you down, I finally got the ALL yesterday on that bruce lee-ish demon that was haunting me.
Practice makes perfect. also watching sin's superplay helped.

Not for me.
Reinforces the fact that I'm not that good at this genre but boy I love playing it.
Don't worry, you're not the only one. I haven't even beaten the stage 4 boss yet (with a measly 11mil). Haven't put a whole lot of time into it yet, though. But from all the talk I figured I'd at least be a little better than this
This feels like an incredibly silly question to ask... but how do I get out of the test menu for this game in shmupmame? It comes up automatically whenever I load the rom and selecting exit just brings up a screen that flashes to please turn off a dip switch.

Same here, but I still say it's easier compared to some games (you're looking at a guy who started shmupping with Raiden Fighters 2000 here, not that I'm any good at it ).
I really should practice more with ESPGaluda though, since it's the only PGM game out of the three major releases that will run at something playable on my legacy machine. DOJ is annoying and Ketsui is just unplayable.

Press tab, go to Dip Switches, and turn the Service Mode one off when you're on the flashing screen.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Loled little? Im an athlete so try to be accurate . Press F2 is the fucking solution so now the question is raised could you be anymore of a stupid cunt? Lol nerds
I'm getting closer to reaching Jakou on 1 credit. My last run was about 26M. I'm going to try to 1-life all the way there, since those reserves will come in handy against Jakou. Hanging onto 4-6 lives should give you a fair shot at him, even if you use Barrier from time to time. Running EspGaluda in PCSX2 does require a newish computer. Taito G-Net ports will do fine on an XPS 210 (Psyvariar and XII Stag are fine) but it can't quite handle Cave PS2 titles. I'll try this on my newer Win7 box sometime.
Well this is awkward. Thanks guys who was sort of a jerk and got banned as a consequence of answering my question. Also thanks null for the alternate solution and not being a jerk.

Well, F2 was an incorrect answer to your question, as you have to press TAB then go into DIP SWITCHES and turn the top one OFF. But he was "just trolling".

Reminds me of a beautiful day in forum history (I still have a screengrab somewhere).
Anyway - good riddance.
On the subject of Espgaluda (and the other recent additions) on MAME - suddenly my work mates are aware of it, and asking me questions about Cave. It might do a great service to promoting the genre a little. Might even do Cave some good in the long run.

Several months I don't play this then I played in total third_strike style (bomb/kakusei spam). This only demonstrates which anyone can ALL this!
Ps: Used each single bomb in all live, please call me i am really dirty
I was hoping you would do this. I'll be watching momentarily.
Edit: Please state which MAME version you've used, because the replay action wasn't working for me.
