I thought were were playing shooting games, not brawlers with enemy move telegraphing. Also stupid, stupid autofire point milking. Oh well - I just hate stage 1. Stages 2 and 3 seem alright.

BareknuckleRoo - 280,900 - 5 (the asteroid one) - JAA (Mameplus 0.146)

Hrm, game seems to be a bit laggy for me in 0.146. Seems to run 100% in 0.143 for some reason though, going to have to switch to that for this I guess. ._.

Actually, nope. 0.143 gets down to 90% in the vertical stages for some reason. Is there a recommended emulator or port of the arcade game to use? Never mind, it gets flaky occasionally in Stage 1 if you gameover then start a new credit. Gah. Is there a stable way of playing this or do we have to just deal with occasional lag?

woo 0.106

I can't even get the game to run above 50% speed. It chugs visually, stutters like crazy with the audio, and refuses to run regardless of what setup I use (GDI, Directdraw, Direct 3D 8... I can't use Direct 3D 9, as it causes my PC to reboot when I start a game due to some kind of weird incompatibility between MAME and the newer Nvidia drivers).

I've used both older and newer versions of MAME Plus! with no effect. This isn't a good start.


Edit: BINGO!

MAMEPlus! 106 works like a charm. For anyone having problems, you can get it here...

Chaos Phoenixma- 281,100- Stage 1-5- ShmupMAME 2.2

Was ver JAA if that matters.

Just doing a bit of sightreading and haven't setup anything to practice with. Surprised I managed to get through as much as I did of Stage 5 without having any of it memorized. I had played a few of the earlier stages though, so it's not like this was a first credit score. Maybe this could have been a bit higher if I hadn't died during the asteroids and other parts of the stage.

Thanks for this, currently at stage 2, Frameskip 0, the FPS counter hasn't budged at all from 58/58. Why the hell does this game only run decently in a super old version?

Nobody likes it. even the devs behind MAME find it so terribly bad and ugly, that they decided to silently break compatibility more and more so that no unknowing man might accidentally start it and be exposed to its ugliness, but held back by the intense technical problems that present a warning to the informed and a barrier to the helpless.

You have opened the gate to hell. You will be scared, like you have never been scared before.

Also, on an aged mobile Core 2 it runs quite well with shmupMAME 3.0b.

woo lord british

Score is crap, there's apparently a ton of points to be had from boss milking tricks etc, including like 100k alone just from killing the Brain Golem in Stage 1. First time no-missing to 5 (speedkilled the stage 4 boss by planting options on it with Twin Laser, lol), only made it into stage 6 with an extra life and died once stupidly. Might be able to loop this, but I'm not thinking I'll enjoy actively scoring. Option bombing is super handy, it seems you need to really play offensively.

Emuser - 969,500 - 2-2 - Shmupmame 3.0b

This was a really good run for me, got the stage 1 and 4 techs, 1-3 boss milk, and survival the rest of the way through after that. I played the max speed game picking up everything I saw in this run but when I got to stage 5 the rank just turned apeshit on me and things started going downhill. Managed to get the 2-1 brain tech and proceeded to die 1/2 way into 2-2.

Should we mention the ship that we used? Apparently it does matter.

Well watching videos it is easy to see that most players use Lord British. I've been digging around looking for a confirmed answer since I was told about this, but apparently LB has slightly lower rank than VV. I haven't been able to see much of a difference yet though but those Jap players probably just go with LB to make things a little easier from the start.
