(Invalid)

In Japan Ver.B (the only version in Shmupmame 3.0b), choosing another region causes the Special/Guest/Single DIPs to be ignored. Use the title screen codes:

Special: Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right A B
Guest: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B
Single: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

[trap15]

Please read the rules. I said choose Special Course

[CptRansom]

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Ransom - 2,303,020 - 8 - Wild Snail(A)/Car-Pet(B)/Grasshopper(A)/Miyamoto(C) - Europe/MAME

[Nifty]

Let's dig in

Nifty - 2,609,310 - 9 - Flying Baron (A)/Shorty (B)/Wild Snail (S)/Bornnam (S) - German/MAME

That went pretty well for a first run. I have some other ideas though...

[trap15]

trap15 - 2,904,400 - 7 - Wild Snail(A)/Car-Pet(B)/Grasshopper(A)/Bornnam(C) - Europe/MAME

Even grabbed an .inp for this one. Will probably upload at some point soon.

[DocHauser]

DocHauser - 2,157,210 - 8 - Strawman (S)/Bornnam (S)/Shorty(S)/Maria (S) - Europe/MAME

Picking S ships seems like a bad idea, but it seemed to work better than my previous attempts...

[fenyxofshadows]

fenyxofshadows - 972,040 - 5 - Miyamoto/Gun-Dalf/Magic Carpet/Carry Carry - Europe(MAME)

i'm just laughing every time i die c:

also, how do you know what letter your ship is?

[DocHauser]

also, how do you know what letter your ship is?

Depends which button you press when you're on the ship-select screen. From the strategy section:

At the player select screen, your fighter's capability is determined by which button(s) you press to pick your craft:

A Button - Strong shot, weak option
B Button - Strong option, weak shot
C Button (or A+B on a 2-button cab) - Strong option & shot, slower speed
Start Button - Weak option & shot, faster speed

[chum]

chum - 4,908,370 - 14 (Glowsquid) - Strawman (C)/Shorty (B)/Miyamoto (C)/Flying Baron (S) - Europe/Shmupmame 4.2

First credit, I'll play more when someone beats this.

[ED-057]

oh snap. Boss rush is a million times better than the actual game.

ED-057 - 1,850,710 - 7 - Maria(A)/Golden(A)/Strawman(A)/Chitta(A) - Nippon/MAMEplus106

[Nifty]

New tactics:

Nifty - 3,682,100 - 10 - Flying Baron (A)/Wild Snail (S)/Shorty (B)/Strawman (C) - German/MAMEUI

This is definitely working better for the time being. I didn't know Wild Snail was still every bit as strong as it was in Garegga I'll fit a Mahou character back in there once I get better at the earlier bosses.

[ACSeraph]

Today was my first time ever playing Batrider. Seems like a pretty sweet game!

ACSeraph - 1,971,120 - 8 - D.D(A)/Shorty(A)/Jyuji(A)/Car-Pet(A) - Europe/MAME

[ciox]

eh!

ciox - 2,677,550 - Grass Hopper(A)/Silver Sword(A)/Flying Baron(C)/Wild Snail(C) - korea/shmupmame3

[Tigershark]

So do I have to do a one armed handstand balancing a cup of tea on the ball of my right foot before pressing select with my todger to get this special course?

Nothing like a complicated start. I'll give it a go later when I get home.

[IDruggedShamu]

IDruggedShamu - 1,246,680 - 5 - Silver Sword(A)/Grasshopper(A)/Flying Baron(A)/Wild Snail(A) - Europe/MAME

Do we just edit these submissions to update our scores? Or post an entire new reply?

[trap15]

Post new replies please

Should just be able to turn on the Special Course DIP and it should appear.

[Zerst]

Zerst - 5,410,170 - 11 - Strawman/Car-Pet/Flying Baron/Birthday - Europe/MAME

[fenyxofshadows]

fenyxofshadows - 1,752,110 - 6 - Miyamoto(A)/Bat Romero(A)/That one ship with the curving lasers(A)/Carry Carry(A)

just barely a GET BONUS

[Iori Branford]

In Japan Ver.B (the only version in Shmupmame 3.0b), choosing another region causes the Special/Guest/Single DIPs to be ignored. Need to use the title screen codes:

Special: Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right A B
Guest: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B
Single: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

Reposted closer to OP (in place of my invalid score).

[trap15]

Why not just use the European ROM set if you're already using MAME?...

[Masa]

Masa - 1,899,290 - 7 - Car-pet(B)/Wild Snail(A)/Bornnam(B)/FlyingBaron(A) - Europe/MAME

[Iori Branford]

Why not just use the European ROM set if you're already using MAME?...

ShmupMAME 3.0b, the only MAME that fixes input lag for this game, has only 2 Japan versions and a Korea version, and I don't have enough time yet to get/setup the Korea version.

ShmupMAME 4.2 supports every variation of Batrider if I'm not mistaken.

[ciox]

Yeah but shmupmame 4.2 doesn't have input lag fixes for Raizing games at all.
Korea version works like a charm btw, all the shit is unlocked by default.

...

Owe this nice new score to trap's replay, bombing Deviate's final form turrets makes a heck of a difference.

ciox - 3,301,820 - 9 - Grass Hopper(A)/Silver Sword(A)/Flying Baron(C)/Wild Snail(C) - korea/shmupmame3

[Skyline]

Skyline - 1,757,640 - 6 - Bornam(A)/Flying Baron(S)/Gain(S)/Car-Pet(A) - Europe/MAME



I'm always feeling like I'm missing the plot when it comes to Raizing.

[Obscura]

Obscura - 1825740 - ? (I don't know how to find out) - Strawman(A)/Silver Sword(A)/Miyamoto(C)/Maria(A) - Europe/MAME

I, too, have no clue wtf is going on, but I at least got a GET score.

[Pjoxt]

Pjoxt - 1,988,390 - 7 - Grasshopper(A)/Valhallyzer(A)/Sangerer 5280(C)/Carry Carry(B) - Europe/Mame
