[whisper2053]

Here we go! I guess I'll be starting things off with a bang then

whisper2053 - Widerstand - 172,928,107,660 - Stage 2

 

[Tyranix95]

I think this month ought to interesting.

Just like with SHIKI2, the guys over on RB are playing GIGA WING too.

So it ought to be fun to see how the tables stack up.

 

[whisper2053]

I probably should have mentioned that I was playing that on the DC, Tyranix. If you could kindly move me onto the right scoreboard please

 

[Tyranix95]

Moved.

 

[skate323k137]

I should have the PCB this month, but I'll be getting a dreamcast score shortly (I hope).

I just found out that the US/J version(s) of this game will not boot in 15khz rgb >_<

I'm downloading a PAL ISO now, since that should work with RGB and supposedly runs in 60hz.

 

[Kid Panda]

I just found out that the US/J version(s) of this game will not boot in 15khz rgb >_<

works with vga but not Scart....

 

[skate323k137]

Yeah, I want to run it with scart. I'm burning the PAL ISO now, and that should work. I'll let you know.

Edit: PAL copy is fine with scart, and lets you select 60hz at boot

 

[whisper2053]

Is there an advantage to running DC games via scart over vga?

 

[Chempop]

scart on a crt has scanlines, vga on a monitor won't and these low res games tend to look rather chunky without them.

I'm a little nervous about if I can clinch the win, first month participating in a while.

So...no actual overt advantage then. Thanks for the info!

 

[mjmjr25]

2 really nice games...during the busiest month of the year. I don't think i'll have much time until mid december at the earliest...:/

 

[Chempop]

I'm looking to score +50 trillion in gigawing. That is a random number I pulled out of my ass, I think I can do it!
Stages 1-3 are nothing more than building the multiplier. Stage 4,5,final boss is the cash in. I will not watch a replay, I will not use practice mode.

 

[Jeneki]

Awesome! I have both of these.

 

[ggallegos1]

ohhh I was waiting for something like this to come up.

Now if only I could find my copy...

 

[Tyranix95]

Tyranix95 - Porchka - 697,614,131,700 - Stage 3 (Boss) - CPS2

"..... I will not post a high score screenshot"

:P

Just kidding. GL man

 

[Teddy KGB]

Just kidding.

No you're/we're not.

 

[Chempop]

hmm, first run was crap, barely broke 4 trillion.

 

[Tyranix95]

Don't Bomb--Don't Die--And focus on chaining the Medallions.

That and shoot as many enemies as you can.

Remember, this game is like Mars: So use the Reflex Barrier to generate medals.

 

[xb74]

Sweet, I have this game. I am away with work for a while and should be able to have a crack at this around mid December. Looking forward to this.

 

[wataru330]

Don't Forget to Die Immediately--Don't Bomb--Don't Die--And focus on chaining the Medallions.

That and shoot as many enemies as you can.

Remember, this game is like Mars: So use the Reflex Barrier to generate medals.

Fixed. ;^)

 

[skate323k137]

I'm waiting on this PCB to arrive, but in the mean time here's my Dreamcast score from yesterday (copy/paste style, since this is the shmup of the month over at racketboy too).

Skate323k137 - 2,588,324,623,990 - Stage 5 - Carmine - Dreamcast

 

[Chempop]

I'm curious to know if the CPS2 has more slowdown. I'm guessing it might.
