Rayxanber III running on Super grafx????

Post by DC906270 »

Hi, does anybody know if this game works on the NEC PCE "Supergrafx" with Super CD ROM 2 attachment???
Have just got this game and seems to crash at end of 2nd level ie jumps back to the "run" screen or just hangs???
Anybody know if the game will run properly with the super system 2.1 card? or will i have to get a white pce set up?

If this game doesnt work, it will be only the third pce game that i know of to have compatibility issues, the others being Space Harrier hu card and Altered Beast cd rom!!!!!!!! arrrrrrgh please help

I have tried running the CD from Magic Engine, and it works OK. Seems the Super Grafx is unable to handle the graphical scaling/morphing effects performed by the 2nd level boss, and so hangs ---- :cry:

Wow. Thanks for the info. Makes me glad I sold my supergrafx and stuck with the Core Grafx II and Super CD-ROM2 combo. Strange :(

yes, it is strange. But i wouldn't be glad if i had sold my Super grafx as i think it is ace, SGX only games like the port of 1941 COUNTER ATTACK are reason enough for me to keep hold of it. I will be getting a CORE GRAFX II for playing Rayxanber III - as it seems like a top game from what i have played of it so far :?

Anyone else know of other PCE games which are not compatible with the SUPER GRAFX ? Only ones i have come across are :

SPACE HARRIER - Hu card
ALTERED BEAST CD - But this has compatibility issues with any PCE which isnt using v1 cd system software
and now RAYXANBER III
