<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Anyone else have this rom not work?

Tried a few different mames, but they all crash out when I try to run it.

Just noticed it's Japan region only. I have a Sky Shark pcb. Anyone know if a region change is possible with a rom swap?

Check that you also have parent ROM "fshark".

I got it figured out - kind of.

Turns out it only consistently runs in a window. Berry Mysterious...

I can confirm it isn't, you need the correct C-01 chip to match the code ROMs.

Thanks for the info. What kind of chip is that C-01? Can it be replaced with an eprom?

No, it's a custom of some kind.

I'm doing quite wonderfully bad at this week's game. I'm trying to get better though as I remember this and its pretty nice. Though this is probably one of those shmups where the Japan version is 10x harder than the other regions? Also, don't die I've learned quite quickly. You will get your ass handed to you as a result even with autofire.

Well, some checkpoints are harder than others in that respect. Generally any checkpoint that immediately sets a bunch of snipers on you from multiple directions is going to be as far as I go if I die there even once.

The only checkpoint I've never been able to recover from without autofire is the one immediately prefacing the last stage boss. All of the others I can say with certainty are recoverable if you try hard and strategize well.

All of the checkpoints are recoverable. There's an interview with the designer where he says that the team played through and if one of them was able to get past a checkpoint, they moved on.

Another game I have the PCB for, and this time I know there won't be any revision problems. Too bad I didn't pony up for a Reco autofire PCB though!

I would make a joke about Flying Shark and flying sharks and Sharknado but I'm too lazy.

Also, I will definitely be submitting a score this week. This game is much much much much much better than Master Of Weapon.

trap15 is totally Quan Shmuppi. He summons flying sharks with the power of his Flying Shark PCB and spins up Sharknados with his mystical powers from the Americarealm.

But a Flying Shark PCB isn't good enough for this week. It must be Hisho Zame!

Fear not: I left out the part where Quan Shmuppi summons its magical powers by incanting "HISHOUZAME!" (which comes across as "Tissue samaaaaaaaay" very loudly, and from that it magically transforms into a Hishouzame JPN region board.

Have you actually checked it to make sure, I seem to remember that one of the (hacked) English bootlegs of the game is based on a Japanese revision we don't appear to have a dump of the original for so there are probably undumped revisions out there :-p

I will go ahead and check the ROM labels; unfortunately I don't have a ROM dumper/writer to check the actual data with.

I think you guys also need that Contra version I bought too.

My Sky Shark is a bootleg, but I have no way of dumping it. Would you like a photo?
