Very nice.

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.

I sure am glad you decided to join this forum, Chempop...Chempop wrote:Your upside-down rotation issue is likely fixable. This might not be possible with your stand, but it is worth a try. Undo and reattach the mounts 90degrees - so instead of default positioning being downward for horizontal play, it is sticking out to the LEFT. Think of default position being in TATE with the top of your monitor being on the left side... then when you rotate clockwise the monitor will un-tate![]()

...I'm guessing you're probably really good at puzzle games too?
Thanks for the help man!

Ha ha, nice! Thats a pretty sweet setup now man.
And cool to see you here Chempop!
I don't know why, but I haven't been playing all that well this month. All that Dodonpachi burned me out a bit. I'll get back in the groove though, just need to start getting to stage 4 again.

I still haven't posted an actual score. Going to do a few runs now and post one up. I'll be within the bottom few, I'm sure.

Are most of you using sticks? I should give that a try.
I usually don't do well at all with joysticks when it comes to shoot-em-ups.
I do much better with control pads, specifically a Saturn pad.

I almost hate to admit this cuz I was a strict stick shmupper for so long... last month after playing DDP I found out that yeah. I'm kind of with you on the Saturn pad. So this month I've pretty much only been using my DC Ascii pad which has a similar feel to a Saturn pad.hashiriya1 wrote:Are most of you using sticks? I should give that a try.

Re: Shmup of the Month Club 2013 (Castle of Shikigami II)
I have that nice DC stick that everyone has, and use it for some shmups, but I can't use it on Shikigami at all. I am not a fan of the DC Pad, but I'm far more accurate with it. But, I'm more accurate with pads in general, I really only use the stick for games I already know I suck athashiriya1 wrote:Are most of you using sticks? I should give that a try.

I'd love to just have a Saturn pad for every system.

get one of these for DC. It's not a Saturn pad, but it will remind you of one:dunpeal2064 wrote: I'd love to just have a Saturn pad for every system.

That looks pretty slick, I'll have to look into it! I was looking at those PS2 Saturn pads, but they are quite pricey now.
