![]() ![]() By MAME do you mean MESS? or actually MAME? Not that it matters, I have UME installed (though I did recently find an AUR package of MAMEplus, so I was considering uninstalling UME in favor of it for the sake of autofire, mostly.)įor the record, I dual boot with Win7, so that's usually where I go for my PC shmupping. Incidentally, the original X68k version is officially supported by MAME, so I play that one instead to get my Cho Ren Sha fix. That being said, I haven't really put too much effort into it, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.Īnyone know if Cho Ren Sha runs okay in wine? I remember it would crash on my old computer, but that computer was a complete POS. There's also Linley Henzell, but I don't personally feel that his stuff is as good. There are downloads on that site, but also you can find links in the games' respective scoring threads. Also many people have reported that the games run better under wine than when compiled into a native executable from source. Apart from Tumiki Fighters there's a pretty significant RNG component to all of those, and only Tumiki is really structured like a traditional shmup. The shmuppiest games are noiz2sa, rRootage, Parsec 47, and Tumiki Fighters. Kenta Cho's stuff can be run natively under linux (it's open source). If you manage to run one of the above mentioned games fine in Wine, please let me know. If you could recommend some more Windows shmups worth trying, please do In case you start to wonder what the whole point of this exercise is, it's. I used to have lots more doujins, but lost them due to a hard drive crash, and the place I got them from doesn't exist anymore. Prototype & Prototype II - Great homebrew R-Type homages, freeware too, both run perfectly Genetos - I'd like to try this one out, heard many good things about it, crashes on startup, sadly Good pixel art (especially the later titles), obviously inspired by Raiden, but they play pretty poorly, uninspired weapons that feel very underpowered throughout the game.Įxcess Fraction - doesn't run. Doesn't seem to start anymoreĮther Vapor Remaster - in-game graphics are messed up, playable otherwiseĭemonStar (+ Secret Missions 1 & 2) - Runs flawlessly. However doesn't play that well.Īlltynex 2nd - Starts up properly, but crashes once in-gameīlue Wish Resurrection Plus - Used to run, although the colors were off and the speed way too high. Great looking hori with Einhander influences, interesting art style, reminiscent of Axelay's 4th stage. The game seems to run (I can hear music and sound effects), but doesn't display any graphics outside of the intro video. Raiden IV Overkill - Can't get this one to work. Probably the best version of the game as well, even though I think it's a step back from Raiden II/DX in some ways. Great game too, plays like RayForce with a dash of Soukyugurentai. ![]() Kamui - runs perfectly out of the box, no tricks or additional configuration needed. It especially pays off if you learn how to use it properly, and aside from allowing me to run my beloved Ableton Live and VST plugins flawlessly, gives me access to a number of awesome Windows-exclusive shmups too. I don't care what you think about Wine - it's a marvellous piece of software, and getting better all the time. Outside of emulation, there's the controversial Wine. Obviously MAME provides the huge majority, but apart from that there's 'industry-standard' emulators such as PPSSPP and especially PCSX2. To the point I already have more shmups available to last me several lifetimes, because of emulation. ![]() But, I'm not here to start a platform superiority flamewar, either. Obviously, not quite as wonderful as Microsoft's, but I'm very much willing to make that compromise because of the myriad of advantages it has. But I'm not here to plug the fruits of my labor.ĭespite persistent, uneducated opinions, Linux is a wonderful gaming platform. It's called SQEW, and the Github page can be found here. In fact, I am running my own Debian-derived distro with a desktop that sits somewhere between a traditional one and a media center. I vaguely recall this topic being discussed before, but searching for it and not finding it for several pages I figured I should start a new thread instead of resurrecting an ancient one. However I'm still very much into my shmups, probably more than ever. I haven't really spent any amount of meaningful time on this forum for ages now, due to real life obligations and stuff. ![]()
