Shmup of the Month Club 2014 (Completed)

[Nyukki]

Cool, will give it a bash tonight.

Whenever I tried DOJ in MAME, it always sounded like chunky fecal pudding, if not lagging sounds completely. Has that gotten any better? Just wondering; I'll likely be playing the PS2 version anyhow.

So, since we usually do multiple boards, is that how we want to do this? Like, DOJ, DOJ Black Label, DOJ Death Label?

The sound emulation isn't wonderful, but I think it has improved since you've tried it. The ps2 port is better anyways, aside lacking Black Label. Its the only way to experience the wonder and gore that is Death Label.

Edit: Also, should I be grabbing any definitive edition? Major differences?
Guessing I should just go with the first black label near the top as it has the latest date. Ja?

V101 is the parent rom in the latest MAME builds. Remember to grab the PGM BIOS file too.

Yellow box warning remains in 0.154 about sound not being 100%, but from what I see its near perfect.

Any of the other "labels" will be fine but due to tweaks and changes in those they will require a separate scoreboard, if anyone wants to do those.

Cool DOJ!

Such a brutal game but really awesome.

I've played this one quite a bit. My chaining sucks but I'm pretty decent for survival. I hope to get into the second loop by the end of the month.

Black Label
jepjepjep - 69,542,720 - 1-ALL - Type B Expert - Arcade

One helluva start there jep! Nice!

I wouldn't mind just snagging the 1-ALL this month, I think this is the only game in the pachi series that I'm missing this for.

Anyone playing on the 360 port? If so, make sure to check out the arrange tracks on there, they are fantastic.

Have you cleared DonPachi as well?

[Kidpanda]
