Am I banned from playing the PSP Gradius Collection port even on the default arcade settings?

I don't see why you should be as long as you don't use Extra Edit, same for PS2. But the topic says not to use it for some reason.
Playing these games on PSP collection is awful anyway.

The only way that'd be possible is if you had to restart the entire stage if you died, which is definitely not the case.
So I'm hoping it was meant to say 1-3 cause that'd actually be somewhat reasonable.

Very slight improvement. Stage 2 is really easy with Type B, which is nice. I still fucking hate stage 3.

Do I have to keep mashing buttons or am I allowed to just use auto-fire?

Set buttons 1 & 2 to autofire, and you get proper autofire bullets, and extra missiles as well.SuperSoaker360 wrote:Do I have to keep mashing buttons or am I allowed to just use auto-fire?

I set fire and missiles to the same button and put that on autofire.

Keep in mind that autofire will actually harm the performance of some of the lasers. So you may wish to test the effect on your laser of choice.
Personally, I've never used autofire in this game. It's not really necessary.

Ripple lasers aren't harmed by it, and I don't think twin lasers are either.Chaos Phoenixma wrote:Keep in mind that autofire will actually harm the performance of some of the lasers. So you may wish to test the effect on your laser of choice.

It doesn't matter. I'll be lucky to see 1-4 at the rate I'm going. XD
Once I started using Type B, I literally cleared 1-2 on my first try. I stay in the top half of the screen as much as possible with lasers, missiles, and four options. I think someone said using shield before 1-3 was a bad idea, so I don't bother with it. Make sure to not hug the left side of the screen for the enemies that come from behind. Once the enemies that are IN the spawn near the end, start working your way to the right side of the screen to get them to follow you, then loop back around to kill them.VixyNyan wrote:Oh wow, things didn't go so well, thanks to those bubbles and overwhelming enemy bullets.

I'll try to make a video of 1-1 and 1-2 when I get home for people who are having problems. I think I handle the stages decently well, and maybe it'll help someone out. Stage 3 can fuck off.

Re: STG of the Month (September 2012) - Gradius III!
In MAME, you can actually map two buttons to the same input (button 2 in this case).
So on my joystick, I have autofire enabled on one of the buttons for the pew pew shooty gun and not enabled on the other one when I'm using shoop da whoop lazors.
It also works well for games where tapping the shot button does one thing and holding does another, and the game doesn't have autofire on another button (like C or D). Blazing Star, for example.

Re: STG of the Month (September 2012) - Gradius III!
Don't use auto fire, I do have one button mapped to shot and missile though. I've been using type B double from stage 2 onwards, really helps with stage 3. I'm up to the spinny mountain things.

I had to look at my damn guide to time out the stage 3 boss inbetween his phases. Fucking annoying but I got it again lol. I recommend timing him out anyway.
The reason I have so many points is because I had 3 failed recovery attempts at stage 3. You get a lot of points from the pre-boss section. Choked on the maoi, but not the boss, which I was especially worried about.
My arcade button setup is:
A B C
D E F
B set to auto shot, C auto missile. E shot, F missile, D power-up. Autofire rate of 3 or 4 is fine.
Oh yeah. I DO have video for this. I streamed it today. http://www.twitch.tv/aquas_/b/331070769 fast forward to gradius 3, http://www.twitch.tv/aquas_/b/331073794
