Mods, don't delete this, plox. Working Designs is dead, Technosoft is dead, so nobody's getting hurt here. This game is essentially abandonware

Any plans to follow suit with RayCrisis or RayStorm (I'm only interested in RayStorm, but RayCrisis is damn good and deserves an upload regardless)?

Yeah, I'll start ripping right now. I'll upload Raystorm this afternoon, and Raycrisis tonight. (uploading two at once puts my computer in a coma until they're done, lulz)

Here's Raystorm. Enjoy.

>>152655
Heh, Raystorm's fun and all, but IMO, Rayforce > Raycrisis > Raystorm. Raystorm is still a good game, Raycrisis just improves upon its gameplay and fixes a few of its flaws. Nonetheless, enjoy, and I'll upload Raycrisis tonight.

After seeing a dreamcast collection including Ikaruga, Bangai-O, and sundry, I was wondering how I might scratch my shmup itch. Thanks, /t/.

Also, what shmups from Genesis/SNES or earlier era might you recommend? I ask for gaming on the go via vicious Australian flightless birds.

The Japanese arcade game's name was Rayforce. It was later ported to the Saturn as "Layer Section", and localized as "Galactic Attack." ("Galactic attack". gg, Acclaim. Picture related.)

You could try searching for Rayforce to see if it runs in MAME, or find a copy of Galactic Attack, shouldn't cost more than $5-10.

Ya know, I've been banned before for posting licenced stuffs, and the mods were right to do it. The rules of 4chan are simple, no US licenced stuff, which this is. And there's no pressing need to have this here, there's a billion better places to put this file up.

Crap, you're right. I've played most of those, I just forgot about 'em. I should suffer like G did... Anyway, uploading Raycrisis. Give it a couple hours.

In the old thread for this torrent, the OP mentioned some essentials for setting up the controls in Thunderforce V. Could said OP please post that again? I'd like to get the most out of this game...
>> Anonymous
>>152831
It's in the Options menu, I think it's called "Control Type" or something. Go with either Type-2, or make a Custom control. I'd recommend the following:
X = twin shot
Square = Back shot
Circle = Hunter
Triangle = Free-Range
R2 = Wave
R1 = Special attack
L2 = Change speed (hardly used, really. 100% speed works fine for the whole game. Speed-changing works fine in R-Type or Einhander, but Thunderforce has always been too fast-paced to really make use of it)
L1 = Display on/off (useful for "busy" situations where you know damn well how many lives you have left, what your score is, and what weapons you have, and don't need the extra shit onscreen)

Tinker if you need to, but I've found this setup is the most comfortable. Also, remember: if you're using the Hunter or Free-Range, and you think you're about to die, at least switch to something like Twin or Back shot. You DO NOT want to lose the Hunter. The Hunter is your friend.

Raycrisis, sorry about the delay. Think I'll quit while I'm ahead here. If anyone's interested in some more PSX shooters, contact me.

Freaking awesome. I'm loving this. Thunderforce looks great on my PSP.

How should I get in contact with you? I'd love some more PSX shooters.

Either/or, just give me your email address if you Aim me so I can send you the link once your request is done uploading. I could send over AIM, if megaupload hates you.

Anyone having problems making BGM work? Sound effects work fine, but there's no music. And I've alway liked the previous Thunderforces' BGM...

OP here, dunno what to tell ya, I'm not very tech-savvy. :( Though I can warn you that Raycrisis has music problems in ePSXe. Sometimes pausing/unpausing works, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to happen with half the tracks in the game. Sorry about TFV.. it really does have an outstanding soundtrack.

For what it's worth, here's the soundtrack itself. http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/5596
>> Anonymous
>>153175
I'm having soundtrack issues with Raystorm as well, and I'm playing it on a PSone. Not too big of an issue, though (it's a shooter, so the soundtrack isn't all that critical).
>> Anonymous
>>153188
Shooters usually tend to have pretty good soundtracks, though. Raystorm's OST isn't up to Rayforce's level of greatness, but it was decent. Raycrisis OST, I felt, was somewhere between Rayforce and Raystorm. I missed hearing the classic Ray tunes, but it was definitely more varied, and the final battle's epic-ness was amplified greatly by the BGM.

Now, if you want REALLY good shooter music, play Einhander, the Psyvariar series, and anything by CAVE or Technosoft.

Scan the ISO with CDmage, if it reports errors you'll have trouble playing on a console.

Slap Fight was awesome. It's what Xevious should have been. You know, power-ups (Gradius-style power-up bar, at that!), actual music, interesting stage layouts... God, I feel like firing up my GP2X and playing me some Slap Fight right now. :O The rest of those are very win, also.

GP2X + Shmups FTW.

I just wish some more by that guy who did Noiz2 could be ported over, but he doesn't open all his sources.

All his games are like free crack.
