Pop 'n Twinbee (Twinbee Portable)

Post by Wayler9 »

Is it somehow possible to change the screen ratio to match the original (SNES) version of PnT?

In the other games of TP pressing Start during gameplay makes the options screen appear; in PnT it only pauses the game.
I hate the PSP screen ratio for Twinbee games btw.

The pause menu for one of them is glitchy, sometimes you can access it. It won't save the setting once you finally get it to pop up, I think. Just keep trying, I know it's frustrating, but it's there.

Update: I finally figured out how to make the pause menu appear on PnT!
Instead of pressing and releasing the start button, you have to hold it down for 2-3 seconds.

Finally, I can exit the game without ending and restarting the entire TP game. More importantly, the image isn't necessarily squashed anymore! Original and 4:3 screen ratios are now available to me. :D

In other news, playing Original Twinbee rotated on a PSP is a LOT of fun.

Btw, the setting DOES save. Thank God I won't have to bear playing the vertical SHMUPs in a 'cinematic wide screen' PSP ratio again. The horizontal ones are fine, although nothing beats original modes.
