At least this port is better than the DoDonpachi port on the Saturn which I find to be unplayable these days.

As for the two hypers at the stage 1 boss... umm, don't bomb? I mean, the very first time I triggered them, I got the achievement (I was playing in Black Label).
do the options have to be killed by the first rotation of them spinning? i eventually killed the options and its gave me 2 options but i didnt kill the options until it spun like 3 or 4 times.achievment not unlockedKiken wrote:

No... I got that one. What's the one after that?PsikyoPshumpPshooterP wrote:Ahh the achievment is

When you pick up a bomb item while you have maximum number of bombs, you'll enter a Maximum Bonus state. Maintain this for 5 minutes.
If the replays are strictly recording command input, then yes, this is very possible.kemical wrote:i wouldn't be surprised...moozooh wrote:Could it be that the replay somehow uses the control scheme of the player recorded?Elixir wrote:I downloaded two different replays on the leaderboards and they both spazzed out, bombing then dying immediately.I'm still waiting on this to get here from PA..
It's X-Box green. And I think the point to her is to see how ludicrously high you can push the score (and easily unlock achievements).augustsx wrote:Anyone think that Piper chick is the new super cheese and her bullet canceling hyper shot looks like vomit?
I think he's referring to how it looks on an LCD/plasma TV. You have said yourself (IIRC) that the 360 version looks better when used with a CRT (which is no surprise to anyone).EOJ wrote:The above statement contradicts this one:agustusx wrote: The 360 version looks much better than the PS2 version.
Since the PS2 version looks exactly like the arcade.agustusx in the very next sentence wrote: It may not look like it would in an arcade,

Yes, I have an RGB monitor and yes I played it in Tate mode on it. It's 480i of course, since the 360 cannot output 240p. So it's blurrier than the PS2 port, which outputs true 240p.bcass wrote:Have you tried it TATEd on a CRT (using RGB Scart)?EOJ wrote:Yes, it's better on a CRT.

I believe some CRT RGB monitors support RGB and component inputs. I wouldn't expect much difference in picture quality, although the RGB output on the original Xbox was considerably poorer than the component signal. Has anyone compared the 360 component picture on a CRT with the PS2 version?EOJ wrote:RGB cable of course. My RGB CRT (Sony PVM series) doesn't have a component video input.
Sorry, I think you misunderstand. My point was that the actual signal quality of the RGB signal on the original Xbox was of poor quality, with the component output providing a substantially better picture (even on an SD CRT). This may or may not be the case with the 360. If, as you say, the quality of the 360s RGB picture is nowhere near as good as the PS2 RGB picture, then you might bet a better analogue signal from your 360 using a component cable (on a CRT that has component inputs).EOJ wrote:There isn't going to be any improvement going from RGB to component for 480i stuff. RGB is the slightly clearer signal among the two. And the X360 port is 480i and the PS2 is 240p, so you're never going to be able to get the same quality of the PS2 on a CRT.
I suppose if you use S-video or composite video then you won't be able to see much difference between the two ports, since it'll be a bit blurry with each of those anyway.
Have you compared it with a component cable on an SD CRT with component inputs?EOJ wrote:There's nothing wrong with the 360's RGB signal quality
Fair enough, I'm just trying to stick to facts here, and not conjecture. You might well be very satisfied with the quality of the RGB signal on your 360 (as am I, as I run my 360 through an RGB Scart/CRT) but that doesn't mean it won't look better using component. I have no drum to bang on this issue by the way, as I own the PS2 version and play via RGB. Like I say, just interested in getting at the facts, which can be difficult when some people (not necessarily you) have an agenda.EOJ wrote:I have a component TV here, yes. I'm not going to buy a component cable and hook my x360 up to it because I can already tell the RGB signal is quite superb. The exercise would be pointless. I've seen PS2 480i stuff on that component video TV, and compared it to the PS2 running 480i games on my RGB monitor, and it's the same quality as the X360 480i stuff on my RGB monitor.
