SHMUP Desktop Wallpapers?

Post by PixelDharma »

I went Googling for Cave wallpapers.. I thought it would be a cinch... Nope, I can't find anything! (even searching here on the forums).

I can't find anything on Cave's massive website... but maybe I just missed it. I found some Ibara Pink Sweets 4:3 character based ones but... enh. Not what I had in mind

The ideal would be widescreen wallpapers from Dodonpachi Dafukkatsu or Akai Katana...

But I'd be open for any suggestions/links, even non-Cave related. Widescreen, high resolution preferred!

Thanks! :)

I'd love to see more wallpapers like those ketsui ones!

Also does anyone have a picture of the 5 point chip?

There's lots of Shikigami wallpapers at Alfa System's official website(s).

You have to admit though, SHMUP fans are deeply attached to 4:3 and 3:4.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

They have a lot more for Touhou if you wanted more.

I don't even remember what my wallpaper looks like, I only see it whenever Windows Update catches me off guard and forces me to reboot.

I think it's just a blank white background.

Agreed. This thread sucks. I can help with that.

This is the background mashup I made for the @shmups

A color version.

I don't remember if these are the high quality versions, but I made them to handle all horizontal and vertical orientations and every resolution you can throw at it.

Just to let you know, they definitely are out there. But since they're sold in the assortment CDs, I'm probably not going to be uploading any of them.

Whether it's overpriced is subjective and irrelevant, the point is that they're part of compilation CDs.
