I like shoot em ups

1. Einhander - most eye-catching game on the system in my opinion
2. Raystorm
3. Raiden Project
4. Thunder Force V
5. Gradius Gaiden

I wish my favorite demo (Way Too Rude, 2020, https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85248) had been included, but other than that, this is spectacular curation work. Thanks for all the efforts, it will help me wrap my head around all the Amiga has to offer!

Nevermind, I re-did the setup from scratch and buttons are detected now. Sorry to say, I have no idea what I was doing wrong.

Case solved.

Hey guys, trying to setup a GunCon 2 here, none of the gun's buttons are registered. However I know the gun works, because when I access the F10 lightfun calibration, I can see the numbers moving as I move the gun across the screen. I followed instructions from this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0F8KnqeOd8) to install the custom kernal an...

These look gorgeous! I hope this is not a stupid question, but I was used to seeing TrashUncle's shadow masks automatically downloaded update_all. I assumed these gameboy palettes would also be downloaded automatically... Turns out, since today's update at least, none of them are anywhere on my MiSTer. Has TrashUncle's repos been pulled from update...

Are you asking the question for psx games only? If not, examples of ports that are enhancements of the arcade that come to mind:

- Donkey Kong (Gameboy)
- Atomic Runner (Genesis)

Just... wow.

I'm a C64 noob so I have no idea how to connect to a BBS server... but I applaud the idea. This made my day!

Interesting, I'll give this a shot for sure! In particular, I'd like to hear how this sounds good Thunder Force 4.

Turns out, maybe my ROM was the issue. I tried another JP ROM sent to me and it works fine.

Thanks for the tip! I messed around with the Miscellaneous -> ROM Storage option, and it did affect the lines, but didn't solve the issue. However, setting CPU Turbo to HIGH completely fixed the issue for me. I wonder what's up with that!

Either way, I'm satisfied with this fix for the time being.

I am seeing graphical glitches in the Japanese version of Alien Soldier when played with the US and JP regions of the Genesis core. I have double-checked my ROM from two different sources (one of them being HTGDB). Strangely, this anomaly disappears when the rom runs on the EU version of the core. I made sure to run update_all.sh successfully befor...

Changed the permission settings for the list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/ ... GDTuEveFqE, feel free to edit!

I am unable to get "Tetris with Card Captor Sakura - Eternal Heart" to start because of region-lock protection (stuck at blue screen with Japanese text). I tried setting system type to NTSC-J in the v211218 build, but no luck. Tested with both US and JP BIOS. Updated the google sheet.

Super fun game, had been looking forward to try it out! Last time I played it was on the Konami Arcade Classics compilation for DS. Cheers!

User u/nenadgrujicic on Reddit made many fabulous illustrations, I lazily turned them into wallpapers to share their great work:

Just curious... why print "Let Mortal Kombat begin!" to the screen at every execution? I find that confusing since the game launched is never actually Mortal Kombat

Ah, good catch with Robotron! I hadn't noticed it. I removed it too, despite how much I adore the game.

Once again, I might not be the best maintainer for this sheet, so anyone is welcome to ask for edit access.

While these four are indeed great titles, I believe they fall more in the categories "run and gun" or "shooting gallery" than "shmup". I have added the rest to the list. (Not Star Wars, until it is playable)

I have tabulated the submissions from this thread into this barebones Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Feel free to ask for edit permission or copy and modify it to implement it to your liking.

Three underrated shmups:

Arcade:
Carrier Air Wing (sequel to UN Squadron)

Genesis:
Omega Blast (homebrew)

Famicom:
Over Horizon

I use an 8bitdo M30 Bluetooth controller as my main, and I recommend it totally. The input latency is perfectly acceptable to me over Bluetooth. It can also be used in wired mode.

It seems like this issue was resolved in the September 2021 release (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues/459). Works for me, I don't have to handle configs after OS updates anymore!

Looking forward to see someone tackle this neat little console!

I am fairly sure it was on, but i will try the camera truck to make sure.

Thanks for coming back to me! I'll try out some more.

Here is my setup: * MiSTer OS v210711 * Wiimote connected via Bluetooth to MiSTer * Original Wii Sensor Bar connected to Wii U for power * (I have confirmed the Wii pointer function to work correctly on the Wii U) * The Wii buttons are detected by MiSTer, but not the pointing function. I have followed the instructions in this video: https://www.you...

I can't get the crosshair to move with MiSTer v210711, I am using a wii sensor bar powered by my Wii U. Is the bug back?

Moreover it has clock detection on VSYNC pin. If a clock is detected this clock override the PAL or NTSC crystals. Does the current version that he sells have that or is that in a future version? I don't see anything about that in the description on his shop. Yes, he told me via email that the version is actually selling does have it. Maybe you ca...
