Raiden DX splits
Raiden DX gives you a choice after inserting a coin for playing "Mission Alpha", "Mission Bravo" and "Mission Charlie". These will need some splits for this game (and clones, not forgetting r2dx_v33 if you can stand it's godawful bootleg quality sound):
Mission Alpha: Single training mission with special bonuses on completion or death (might be possible to continue on to the normal stages, not sure how that works though)
Mission Bravo: Normal stages 1 to 5
Mission Charlie: Normal stages 1 to 8 plus a possible extra level.
Perhaps someone with better knowledge of Raiden DX will be able to give better details.
Mission Alpha: Single training mission with special bonuses on completion or death (might be possible to continue on to the normal stages, not sure how that works though)
Mission Bravo: Normal stages 1 to 5
Mission Charlie: Normal stages 1 to 8 plus a possible extra level.

Re: Raiden DX splits
Yes, Barry. You´re right about the split. I have few points to add about this discussion.
In MISSION ALPLHA,it´s possible to go to MISSION BRAVO,if the player to do a perfect play. In Charlie mode, there´s the secret stage. I don´t know what version, but in Charlie mode, the game loops. Or be, there are 3 different modes with different scores. In Charlie, some versions don´t have the bonuses of enemy destroyed, secrets collecteds and guts.
I really, REALLY love Raiden 2. I´ve discovered some facts about the arcade version that I´ve played in the real machine:
1- I´ve played Raiden 2 (easy version). I´ve scored in 9.979.800, stage 3-7 but the game was set up to the easy difficult. In MAME, it´s totally different. I need to train more to have a decent score.
2 - The Raiden DX machine was r2dx_v33 version.
Since 2002 I was waiting for this. A long time.

Re: Raiden DX splits
Innuendo , bravo on your 1.4 million dx replay
have been watching your scores on the original raiden wolf 148 , 149?
maybe it was 150 or 151
anyhow it takes a lot of practice and I have noticed the DX version has a third button (autofire!)
not sure how in the hell you make it look so easy
my hand is tired-
bea99 and kernzy need to get in on this

Re: Raiden DX splits
Thanks for the information Innuendo.
My opinion is that we should split for A, B and C modes now (as default MARP split), and then later (once the splits are established and we have example plays) we can discuss (and vote) on how to handle the mode A continuing to mode B [do we stop scoring after A?] and the special secrets and looping in mode Charlie.

Re: Raiden DX splits
Interesting, the time bonus is not added to your score... at least not in r2dx_v33.
Also, why is everyone playing r2dx_v33, with it's god-awful bootleg quality music? (Why, Seibu, why?)

Re: Raiden DX splits
Thank you, Tar. I´m watching your replays too!
You´re welcome, guys. I don´t remember the emulator I´ve used... I´m not so good on Raiden 1. I need to train more...
That´s true. The Raiden DX original game has the autofire button. It will be accept on MARP??
Here is a video of mine playing extra stage on Mission Charlie. It was made in ePSXe (playstation emulator). Now, I can´t do nothing. I need to practice again:

Re: Raiden DX splits
It's enabled by default, so yes, same as it is with later Cave games that enable an autofire button by default.INNUENDO wrote:That´s true. The Raiden DX original game has the autofire button. It will be accept on MARP??

Re: Raiden DX splits
For players who want to show real skill without rapid fire / auto fire there's always the Japan Raiden DX set that lacks it altogether.
Also I look forward to any good replays recorded with the 'raiden2dx' set, that one is an absolute bitch!
Technically the 'bootleg quality' r2dx_v33 sets are probably the most accurately emulated as they have the least protection, although yeah, they're terrible for a vareity of reasons.

Re: Raiden DX splits

to keep this simple
basicly for the last few years i have been making recordings and quickly hitting Esc
after the last man. this is o.k. most of the time ,but here for raiden2 there is a bonus awarded after all is said and done. should i add the bonus if so the 291k should be 391k http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/a/7/2/ta ... olf155.zip
and this new 491k raidendx game should be 1.07 million
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/8/d/e/ta ... olf155.zip
congratulations to Innuendo for the 3388200 , 3214280

Re: Raiden DX splits
Apparently Novice/Bravo just ends after you beat it once; thought you could loop it for some reason. Advanced/Charlie loops forever no matter what. Training/Alpha normally ends after beating it as well, but if you destroy 99% of enemies, get every single radar (bonus sol tower-like things), and use no bombs or die, you can then play a loop 2-level Novice. If you fulfill the same conditions in this Novice, you loop into a loop 3-level Advanced. From there, Advanced just loops as it normally does.
I don't think a split for Training itself would be necessary; to start the looping process, you have to play the actual stage well. Fun fact: these special loops are all considered to be Training mode, with Training itself being 1-0, the Novice being 1-1~1-5, and the Advanced being 1-6 to what I assume would be listed as 1-14, after which it would probably start using 2-X.

Re: Raiden DX splits
Any chance to also split the clones, too?
Code: Select all
raidendxa1 : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Hong Kong, set 1)
raidendxa2 : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Hong Kong, set 2)
raidendxch : -- : -- : Raiden DX (China)
raidendxg : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Germany)
raidendxj : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Japan)
raidendxk : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Korea)
raidendxnl : -- : -- : Raiden DX (Holland)
raidendxu : -- : -- : Raiden DX (US)

Re: Raiden DX splits
Bumping this topic since the clones all have scores now as well, mostly from Mission Bravo being played.
