Shinobi - tips, tricks, faq

[ben.shinobi]

I've played your inp, and the 20k bonus is very strange !!! thanks for infos.
However, it seems that you use a boot rom of the game ?

Hi ben.shibobi... how is going Cabal? More improvements?
And about Shinobi, what do you mean as "boot" rom in this case?

Where is my contribution? I have an INP where I used shurikins all long the level 2-2, and I got the 20k Special Bonus Maybe a game bug, or a romset bug, or MAME bug... Anyway, if you use save state from my INP, maybe it's possible to identify why I got the bonus, underservedly. I tried some saves/loads some seconds before the end of the stage, and tried some mixups, but I couldn't confirm, consistently, when it give me or not the bonus. Well... it's with you Shinobi experts! Innuendo, Moreno, Destructor, Alpha, SYG-SINO, Ben.Shinobi, PAC-MAN... good luck!

It is a great discovery!

It is a great discovery!

Thanks Dan! However, while we can't confirm if it's a rule/technique or just a glitch/bug, it can't help you guys to improve scores...

I've tried with your inp save, but I can't find anything. For me, it's 100% bug !!!
Maybe SYG-SINO could reply for this bug ???

PS Congratulations to SINO with a new Arcadia record: 807.550pts. My next target score will be 810k on my pcb.

[ben.shinobi]

I've recorded here a replay for St 1-1 with 37.500 pts

You need some favorable random patterns to score this. I was very lucky to get it because it's impossible to score this every time.

Also, I've discovered that 14.800pts is possible on st 2-1 (about leeching) but once again, timing and favorable random patterns needed. I will try to do replay.

Congrats Ben and Sino!
By the way, anyone did more tests about the "undeserved" bonus?

Congratulations to SINO with a new Arcadia record: 810.260 pts
Do you know better scoring patterns than 816k pts on practice ? What's your target score for Arcadia ? Do you have plans for working on Shadow Dancer ?

Thx Ben, My next target is 820k＋α
I'm not playing Shadow Dancer

[ben.shinobi]

820k !!! Well I didn't think this score was possible !!
Where did you find new points ? Is there any chances to see your patterns ? Do you have video recorder when you play in game center ?
Good luck for your next record !!!

Hi, folks. How are you?

Well, first to Valter. I don´t understand how it is possible to do this. Sinceramente, não sei como vc conseguiu fazer isso, meu irmão.

I have a question to Ben Shinobi. Man, YOU PLAY VERY MUCH!! I´ve seen your videos in your site and you play many games. Congratulations. My question is: Playing in a original arcade Shinobi machine, taking all the hostages with 1up, how many points could be the maximum?

For me, is impossible to get more than 1 x 1up hostage but maybe Sino have found a way to get more than 1 x 1up ? There are so many possibilities with hundred and 10 digits. Must try.
I give up this game for now. I play this since so many years...

[SINO]

My patterns is special hostages ×1,
I'm not discovery the Others special hostages
but 820k＋α is possible
I'm Challengeing next record
