Shmup of the Month Club 2012

Okay cool, here's what I got:

Name: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Approx Total Memory: 1696 MB

You might run into a problem with that processor, I'm not entirely sure since like I said I'm not familiar with Homura. My rig can emulate anything I throw at it pretty much, yet Persona 4 actually did make it lag a bit. But for RAM you're definitely good, and that video memory should have you covered as well.

[dunpeal2064]

Ah okay, thanks! I'm hoping between ps2 emulation and this Taito loader, I should be able to participate in Homura month.

Not having much luck playing DOJ via PCSX2. So I guess I still need my PS2 for now. If I can just play DOJ and Homura I'll be fine. Obtaining the software for Homura now. Was DOJ one of the ones pulled from MAME?

[dunpeal2064]

Nope! DOJ, Ketsui, and Espgaluda were PGM games, so they remained. All the SH3 stuff (Mushi and up) were pulled (although, if you want to play them.... )

[ZenErik]

Alright. Then I don't even need a PS2 anymore. Because I'll just play whatever hits PSN as a PS2 classic. They already have some ones I want to try like Odin Sphere.

But anyway. Back on topic. SHMUPS! I have a feeling I will participate a bit more this year.

2012 was a bit busy for me and 2013 is looking to be busy as well... but I see myself participating in these months:

January - Castle of Shikigami II
February - Dragon Spirit
April - Crimzon Clover
September - Shienryuu
October - Homura

Every pick looks very interesting, but these seem appealing enough to me to nearly ensure my participation. Shikigami II and Crimzon Clover I will be around without a doubt though.

for PS2 stuff, If anyone needs a freemcboot install, or a zip file with hdloader and such, let me know. I'm happy to provide. I have a few PS2 hdd/broadband adaptors sitting around too if anyone wants to slap an IDE hdd in their old PS2.

I'm interested in playing some espgaluda on MAME, I have always used the PS2. I'm almost done with my new PC, but the onboard video card is a nightmare with linux, which is my every day OS. There are windows drivers for it, so worst case I can install win7 or something. I inherited a dual quad core 2ghz box (8 core system) from my work, and popped 4GB ram in there. The caveat is being a server motherboard, it wasn't really designed to do much graphics wise. It has pci-e, but only x8, so new x16 cards won't fit. Once I get video working right, it's on.

I'm most interested in these guys:

January - Castle of Shikigami II
March - Air Gallet
April - Crimzon Clover
May - Varth
June - Cotton Boomerang
September - Shienryuu
November - Raiden IV


So, more than half the year I should be in on, at the very least. Looks like a happy Shmup year. Not sure how long I'll be able to take getting worked over by Air Gallet, though.

So rancor has 8 copies now, all are new / sealed. $30 each and shipping is $8 for one, or $8 for all, so def. makes sense for one bulk order. It'd be $31 now, and $2.25 once here to ship from me to you, so $33.25 apiece, which saves us each $4.75.

So far I only have (3) confirmed buyers and myself. Please pm me tonight if you can commit to a copy at $33.25 shipped. Everyone involved should shoot me a gift payment of $31 now ([email protected]) and then a goods payment of $2.25 once I pm you that they are here in mid/late January (he can't ship until 1/4/13).
