Good for you, wow, and good job. For real, I struggled with the first level. As well, me too, discover way late my favourites way late, twenty years, lol. I didn't discover Parodius until way later but fell in love with the Cave bullethell shooters just last year. I never came across the arcades back when they were new or played the ports on consoles. I think you won this one, whatever the next game is.

There is something really special about Cave releases

That's the third time I've reached the final boss and been defeated. I've never had the Level 5 midboss do some of those attacks before. Also never lost so many lives to the ships before the final boss either.

Hard is no joke, exhausting to watch lol. Very nice getting to the final boss

I keep hearing so much great stuff about Cave shooters. I'll look to give them a try sometime. :) Same with Parodius.

Thanks for watching, and for the kind words.

There was this move the stage 5 boss did (or miniboss I think, I mix them up)where he like, flung a limb out at you from behind, like a low roundhouse kick or something. I've never seen that before. Bosses have a really large moveset in this game.

I'm going away soon, and I'm planning on taking my Vita so I can really drill down into the game while I'm on holiday.

I'm ngl I got a Master System flash cart like mid-way through this month so I sort of got a bit de-railed. HOping that being taken away from it will give me the will to jump back into Einhander again.

So after a bunch of trial and error I managed to beat the boss of stage 3. Only half a stage to hit the midway point.

I can already tell there's been a huge spike in difficulty going into stage 4. Getting my arse kicked by even the basic enemies on this one haha

I played the demo disc of this game a billion times. Square was cooking in the PS1 era.

I don't much feel like playing through this one when either the CHD I have or the hardware I'm trying to emulate on plays no stage music.

As a German i love Japan's love for german Language

Yup. Wachenröder is also another example.

Huh, that's really weird. Does this game use CD audio? I've had this issue with Jersey Devil because my Cue/Bin setup was all wrong.

I've not made much progress in the game -.-

In all honesty, while it's awesome sh'mups haven't ever really been my genre. I am just not that good at these games Still gonna plug away at it though for now, but I might find myself defeated before the end of the month.

We've only got like, 1 week before we're all (mostly) playing a new game of some kind.

I have the same problem with cutscene audio in the Mega Man Legends games. Intro cutscene dialogue, Roll conversations in the ruins, I hear none of it.

If we're talking emulation-wise, could be that your files need some changing. Maybe a line of wrong text in the Cue file? If they're not bin/cue it's possible that someone else converted them to ISO or something and just completely left all of the sound files out.

I've had the issue a few times but as long as I check CD-Audio games and make sure they have their CUE setup correctly I've normally got around it.

I've said that the file format is CHD. They came on a MicroSD card with one of those Android Smart TV OS boxes marketed by some sketchy company as a game console.

OH yeah I forgot that you'd mentioned the file type.

Well it's possible that you may have ended up with a broken file. Likelyhood is that someone took the original Bin file from the Bin/CUE setup, converted it to CHD, and then only put that onto the card. If you want there to be sound in those games you'd need to get a copy that comes in Bin/CUE Or one that has been converted properly.

Well, it's only some types of sounds that are missing in some games, but I do suspect the format to be the problem.

Yeah it'll only effect games that used CD audio tracks for music/SFX. A lot of games didn't, and even the ones that did tended to have only the music tracks use CD audio, at least in my experience.

If I do it with Jersey Devil on PS1, the game and all the SFX work fine, but there is 0 music at all.
