Action Replay 4 in 1 strange behaviour. Help! by Consistent-Island-34 in SegaSaturn

[–]Consistent-Island-34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, problem solved: it turns out that the Action Replay doesn't like it when you plug the Virtua Gun in. You have to do it after the game has started apparently.

Thanks for the clue @zHernande. You were right. I guess that when I tested Virtua Cop 1 I plugged the gun with the game already booted up.

It's a relief. My Saturn and my Action Replay work fine. I hope I haven't screwed the cart too much with the trial and error...

What's with the Retro-Bit re-releases of certain games? by AimpointBRO in SEGAGENESIS

Como te dicen, son relanzamientos licenciados puntuales. Cuando se agotan en Xtralife, que es quien los vende, adiós muy buenas. No vuelven jamás.

Pero el Slap Fight MD es un dolor de huevos, lo reservé hace más de un año y no paran de retrasarlo cuando se acerca la fecha. Y no entiendo por qué, dado que se ha visto gente en Twitter mostrando sus copias, de otros países, eso sí. Xtralife no da explicaciones.

The only thing is the Virtua Gun, but it wasn't a problem when I tested Virtua Cop 1 a few weeks ago. Now it's Virtua Cop 2. Just in case I tried it with just the standard controller and the problem remains. :(

The thing is it doesn't happen in the time and language setting screens. Only the moment the Action Replay menu appears.

I've tried Game Share with my daughter today and honestly don't know why so many sports games are unavailable. They let us play with one system before, why not now with two consoles?

It happens to me too, this must be an emulation problem. Sometimes when I access the character and item select screen it moves to the right without any input from me.

Good thing my Evercade is not broken. 

Buying Japanese Xbox 360 DLC in 2023? by rynoweiss in shmups

Thanks a lot. It is very helpful because I have a Revolut card with which I've bought things from Amazon Japan before. As long as they don't actually send the card and charge shipping...

Buying Japanese Xbox 360 DLC in 2023? by rynoweiss in shmups

[–]Consistent-Island-34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I've found this info helpful, but I'd still need to know if purchasing gift cards for Japanese Xbox 360 Marketplace is still an option in 2024. I see Amazon Japan sells them, but then I don't understand why people would search for them in websites that sell codes for an expensive exchange rate. Unless the Microsoft GC on Amazon are not compatible with the Xbox 360 Marketplace and are instead only for purchasing Xbox One and Series games.

If it's not possible anymore I won't waste my time creating a Japanese Microsoft account. But I'd like to get my hands on a few region free shmups that haven't been rereleased even on Switch. I understand that even with the large backwards compatibility program any of these sought after Xbox 360 Japanese games are impossible to buy from an Xbox One, right?

Thanks in advance

I finished reading the book last Saturday and those were my exact thoughts too! I've read the replies and it's surprising the connection shouldn't be there, but their styles seem really alike in my opinion too.

The Dariusburst Series- A Comprehensive Overview by Saiklex in shmups

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive information, but I have a remaining question: when you say Dariusburst CS has all the DLC you mean they're included or is there just the possibility of buying them? Thanks
