Sound emulation is still poor but they managed to get all the Raiden Fighters games done -
Raiden Fighters
Raiden Fighters 2
Raiden Fighters Jet
Viper Phase 1 is also done. Works for Mame v0.93
Good times!!

For the last two weeks, I've been playing:

Border Down (dc) - still have no working strat for the "poor man's stage 6" (red), and the level 5 boss makes my hair fall out.

ESPGaluda (ps2) - I'm still far from being able to 1cc it, but it's friggin' awesome.

Strikers 1945 II (psx) - had a good run, but died during the end boss battle (1st loop). I've also up'ed my hiscore, will post a thread with the revised hiscore list from the all about shmups thread. Man, this game is addictive like crack.

Shienryu (ps2) - the later stages are tough as nails... will need some more time with this one I guess.

R-Type Final (ps2) - amazing, simply amazing. 40something ships and counting... being able to switch ships between levels gives the whole thing a really cool strategic tone without actually punishing the player for a wrong choice too harshly, it's mad fun trying out which ship works best in what level. Of course there are "preferred ships" for certain levels/sections, but the powerful unit (and the special attack) makes it possible to master tricky situations even if you have chosen a ship with an wide-area-effect charge shot where a long-range shot would have been more effective.

I'm really in love with Final... that's what I call a worthy swan song for an excellent shmup series, it hardly can get much better than that (r-type-wise).

I've been playing Alien Hominid a lot.

Ever so often I play a game of Blazing Stars or Star Soldier for GC.

Pretty much addicted to Blazing Star right now.

Best highscore so far, 19,156,240 stage ALL rank B Windia, and even though it says stage 'ALL' I actually died at the last boss. I did finish it on 1 credit earlier this week but that score was only something like 13,2xx,xxx stage ALL rank A Windia. I've seen on Gemants site that the best score with Windia is around ~70 millions, how the hell are they getting these scores :annoyed: !

I haven't played a game besides Resident Evil 4 in a month.
:(

...maybe someone could fill me in on how to get Progear working on my Box, and I'll give it a go.

Bangai-O isn't what I'd call a traditional shooter, but it's one of my favs of all time as far as games go. Definately my favorite Treasure game (take into account that I haven't played Radiant Silvergun)
