I was close to preordering it but backed out, then lotsa bs happened and I was glad I did. Men's hot pants, eh, must have been the weirdest extra in a collector's edition ever.

Wouldn't mind giving it a try but it's not a priority or anything, don't really wanna boost that boot shit any further (still feeling dirty coz of that damn Earthion boot) and certainly won't shell out 1000+ for the real thing. Oh well.

Maybe they could do a slightly cut-down rerelease with a standard MD soundtrack and fx and FPGA versions of the extra chips or even a port to current systems. It's not only that mad mofo Godde who worked on the game, you can tell that a lot of effort went into it and there must have been more people involved than just him, must suck for them seeing him posing with half-naked guys while they are getting mostly ignored. I'd gladly buy a port for a normal price.

I tried to install Paprium on an Everdrive but couldn't get it to work. Does anyone have it working and willing to share?

I honestly forgot that I have a launch copy of this thing until just now.

It's not bad iirc?

Paprium is playable on the Everdrive but in my experience, it's not perfect. Graphics glitches start creeping in around the end of the train level and they start slowly getting glitchier and glitchier as the game progresses.

You got it working on the ED? I've tried and failed.

Did you follow theses steps?:
How to start:
1.Cart should be with fresh firmware version installed (one released in the end of 2024 will be ok)
2.Put mega-pro.rbf along with game rom in same folder
3.By default cart menu will switch off saves for that game. Turn it on manually using Rom menu->Configure: Save Type SRAM, Save Size 4KB
4.Mapper not supports BGM music synthesis so far, by this reason current solution is CD audio. Put wav+cue in same folder with game**
5.It's ready! At first start minigame will be launched instead of normal game

**CD audio
Mapper require 48khz wav files + cue. Game can work without it, but no bgm sound in this case.
cdda folder contains prepared cue file which match to audio pack released for emulators recently, but need convert from mp3 to vaw.

Setup the SRAM save game to 4KB
Open the folder and start Paprium.bin
Renaming rom to .md will make launch process little less tricky
