Got 638 million in Dodonpachi!!!
- Full Maximum Bomb Bonus.
- Only dropped chain was 1-6 last section and missed 1 bee.
- No-miss until 2-7.
- 2 extra lives remaining.
Took about 2 years of on and off playing but finally did it! \o/
So after 9 and a half years Saidaioujou is now finally playable in Mame.
Except the only playable version is a romhack where all the assets are replaced with memes.
Knuckles and Hello Kitty team up to fight Sans Undertale while getting advice from Garfield through the operator.
After almost 12 years, Inbachi has finally been beaten in a full run on 1 credit for the first time.
A couple of days ago Kayar also improved the score world record to 6 trillion, which is arguably as hard.
Insane week for Saidaioujou.
on last night's Arcade Archivers stream, Daioh's programmer Tsutomu Tabata shared a lot of inside info on the making of the game, including a rundown of the game's "OYAJI SYSTEM" ie rank calculation, which employs some ruthless tricks to chew up salarymen
After his victory on getting the world's first full Inbachi clear on the 360 port a couple of weeks ago, Sairyou has now also gotten a full Inbachi clear on the original arcade board!
Complete victory!
This is pretty bad for shmups.
We should probably make a list of all the games that you just won't be able to buy anymore next year, I know Under Defeat is one of them.
Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360 Store will be closing next year, meaning players will no longer be able to buy digital games through the console.
Backwards-compatible 360 games will still be available to buy on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
The average skill level in Touhou World Cup is so unbelievably ridiculous lmao.
People just casually doing full-game Lunatic no-miss, no-bomb runs and world record scoring.
Terrifying that a 2-miss, no-bomb clear nets you last place.

Wild.
Said this on Youtube, but thanks so much for all the support over the years!
And for giving me a platform where I can showcase these neat dot-dodging games and give them just a tiny bit more attention.
It really means the world to me.
Little clip from the event, all Cave PCB's in one place for the first time.
(Donpachi, Esprade and Progear couldn't be displayed because of license issues with Atlus and Capcom).
Steam SHMUP Fest is live until October 2 with a superset of bullet games including twin stick shooters, bullet hell/heavens, arena shooters, and many more. Don't forget to drop in and grab your free stickers, and check out the discounts, demos, and more!
Got the Aka to Blue Type R 1cc during the event! Was a cool group effort where we all discussed strats and watched replays in the evenings at the secret shmup house.
Found an incredibly useful program that removes input lag on windowed games in Windows 8 and 10. Incredibly useful for games that have no true fullscreen mode and only have a fullscreen borderless windowed mode.
I think one of the most messed up parts of the Xbox 360 store closing is that Futari Black Label will just kind of... cease to exist.
It was an online DLC release only and was never released on any other platform (we don't talk about ios).
Finished Void Stranger, what an absolutely ridiculous game.
It's like what if you combine ZeroRanger with La-Mulana to create one of the most insane puzzle game experiences I've ever seen.
It just keeps getting crazier, with so many extra secret things to find, and maybe more...?
French event over at
@jgc_officiel
during the weekend was absolutely incredible. Crazy amount of arcade games with wild variety. Props to James for opening up his collection for events like this. Also greet to meet everyone there and to meet up again with awesome peeps.
Made a video on a new and free Gradius fangame of insane quality.
It's also basically Gradius but without any of the things people usually dislike about Gradius, so definitely give it a try:
RayStorm 1cc and RayCrisis TLB 1cc!
These games are fantastic and criminally underrated. They're basically RayForce but better in every way (except graphics).

Apparently the initial Cave ports on Steam have noticeably worse visuals from their initial Xbox 360 counterparts, this even continues to the Deathsmiles I+II release
On later releases it looks like everything is desaturated, it's instantly noticeable on the Deathsmiles wallpaper
By far the most important new gadget added in the new DOJ M2 port is the gadget that displays your invulnerability frames, but it's not part of the gadgets you can use in Tate mode...
Please add this to Tate mode M2, I beg of you.

ATTENTION
On January 15, 2019, YouTube is going to purge all annotations on the site.
This is a disaster, because many great shmup resources are going to be lost forever when that happens.
Try to backup your stuff as much as possible.
The new Dodonpachi Saidaioujou EXA arcade version has a dedicated Inbachi mode lmfao.
Starts you at the boss at rank 50 (the max) with a level 10 hyper.
For when you want to waste your 100 yen as quickly as possible.
If Inbachi is ever going to be beaten it's now though.
Meanwhile in the Touhou community:
"Autobombs don't count as bombs so you can use those for a no-miss, no-bomb clear".
Sure wish someone told me that for the Daifukkatsu Ura loop requirements.
First ever Esprade no-miss and it was during a live marathon lmao.
Shoutouts to
@Magolor5000
and
@YMGC_haru
for being awesome and thanks to
@mgaHituji
for organizing. Everyone did great. You can see today's VODs here:
2E boss dismantling strat. Besides being the hardest boss in the game to get 100% destruction on, it also has 4 optional guard parts that are worth 100k each. Good to know that some parts can only be shot if you flip the boss around.

WL 2-4 Boss strat.
Skips most of the 1st phase and timing the hyper and cancel in such a way to set up 3 hypers for the start of 2-5 (3 hypers gives the same effect as 4 or 5).
#怒首領蜂大往生臨廻転生
LRT: Super excited about Under Defeat and Mamorukun Curse coming to modern systems.
But someone really needs to port Border Down as that one is still stuck on the Dreamcast since 2003.😩
Mark_MSX on The Electric Underground just dropped an absolutely terrific documentary on our all shared passion that is shmups!
A full feature length love letter to the genre!❤️
Give it a look and see for yourself why shmups are eternal.
Out Zone 14-ALL with counterstop everything. Took like 5 hours and 20 minutes.
Had to throw the credit because it was like 6 am and I just wanted to sleep lmfao.
Twitch VOD:
Noticed some decade-old Touhou fangames I played are just gone from the internet now.
Luckily I was able to recover these from an old harddrive but if I hadn't these games would just be gone forever now. Back up your stuff guys.
Found an insane bug in Arrange EX where the last bee in stage 5 doesn't spawn because of sprite limit? This makes you lose over 55 million.
アレンジEXに非常にやばい蜂バグ発見。
それは5574万落ちだぞ。

DDP 2-ALL on cabinet at FOF2023!
With the jankiest setup possible but it works lol. You can see a pad connected to it but only the d-pad works lmao.
Thanks to Markmsx for setting it up and being an absolute wizard.
