TRP-STGT 2013 Conversation Week 1: Armed Police Batrider

[chum]

higher rank isn't going to throw undodgeable walls at you or anything like that.

This game can do that, actually.

Also...



I am trash

[emphatic]

I'm about to throw the towel in as I can't figure out how to get to the fucking mode! I have the dips set accordingly on my PCB, but I guess the regions I try won't use it? Or is there a special button combo I have to do?

Edit: Only Nippon seems to give me the correct dip settings. FUCK THIS SHIT.

[Deca]

This game can do that, actually.

Batrider really shouldn't, especially not in the Special course. MAYBE Glow Squid if it were going to happen anywhere, but I've never seen it.

Just use Korea B man.

[trap15]

He's using a PCB. emph: the DIPs should be correct between all regions, but you'll have to input some of the title screen codes I think. Can you burn EPROMs?

[jepjepjep]

trap15's right.

I have a Japan B version PCB and the dip settings for Special Course and Extra Players don't work when you change regions to anything other than Japan. You can enter the codes to unlock both of them though at the title screen so it's only a minor inconvenience. (Also the shot frequency shortcut doesn't work anymore). You can put both of the codes in before you start your credit.

up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B -------> Special Course
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B -------> Extra Players

[jepjepjep]

When you use special mode to change the region, is the starting rank different? Does it reset when you quit the game with 1P+2P Start?

[emphatic]

Well, alas, the little actual playtime I had this week has passed now so fuck my life.

[Kollision]

Holy shit, what are you supposed to do in this?
I can't even figure out the names of the characters to put in the high score thread.
I did use the special course trick at the start screen, it says special course enable but nothing changes.

[CStarFlare]

The Special Course is the fourth option on the mode select screen if it's enabled. The character names are generally the first name on the character select screen except for the Garegga ships, which people refer to by the machine name.

[Kollision]

So Special course is the boss rush?

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

If you enable the special course on the Korea B version with the dip settings it will actually disable it in game. Same thing with the guest characters.

[Kollision]

This is too complicated for me
I'm just a casual MAME user and that's where I'm trying to play this bloody thing (shmupmame v3b)
DIP switches? Is there a manual for morons anywhere so that I can have a clue of what I'm supposed to be doing?

[trap15]

Hit tab, go to DIP switches and change the stuff.

[Kollision]

WONDAUFUL

[emphatic]

This is too complicated for me

[Kollision]

Hit tab, go to DIP switches and change the stuff.

I'm sorry, but this thing just doesn't work.
I go to DIP switches and start doing it as per the HS thread, but there are no Guest Players, Player Select, Special Course, Allow Continue either before or after I do SPECIAL COURSE enable with the code.
There's no High in Timer either, only easy... hard stuff.

At least I tried, but I guess I'm too old (or dumb, so it seems) for this shit.

stupid game

[z0mbie90]

Im to dumb to get it to work to it seems, first I forgot it started, then I decided to start playing last days because busy rest of week. Not good pc start to give me trouble, fixed it, and then now trouble with getting right settings. I can get the Course and Players with code, but the ABC at start and change to Europe just wants from time to time.
Looking forward to next game, and please do not make me change settings

[drunkninja24]

Bah, as much as I want to, I'm just not feeling this. Actually wound up playing Donpachi this last week more lol.

Guess we'll see if the next week holds something more my style...
