In MAME, go to options, default game options, Direct3D and enable Direct 3D. Now Fraps should recognize it :V

Donut just told me the same thing over IRC, but thanks anyway seeing as he got it from you. I think recording it will have to wait until tomorrow, though; I have homework to do, and 10 past midnight's as good a time to start as any.

So I've tried quite a few games lately.

- Shuusou Gyoku. Almost perfected Stage 1 with this.
- Banshiryuu. Haven't I seen your Normal patterns in Touhou Lunatic ?
- Got past the PGM logo in Dodonpachi.
- Samidare. =w=b
- eXceed. I WILL NEVER DEATHBOMB AGAIN.

Spoiler:

P.S. Miyabi is cute.

- Blue Wish Resurrection. A nice substitute for Mushi :V The focus/unfocus buttons seem messed up though.
- Alternative Sphere. Well ... excellent all-around. Probably the best one in this list.

HOW THE FUCK DID U DO THAT?

Welp, here you go. DDP Stage 6 boss no deaths no bombs. :V

Eh, the "strategy" for the final attack doesn't seem consistent at all. It looks like you're barely in control (the blue lasers nearly hit you at least thrice, because you move basically against them) and a lot is left to luck. The rest is cool, though, even if I don't entirely agree with the amount of movement on the fourth attack.

Admittedly I'm not even close to being an expert at this game, but I honestly can't see any other way of tackling the final attack. You're right, though; it's less consistent that I would like, and though I seem to be slowly getting better at it, I wouldn't consider trying to pull it off in an actual run unless I had no bombs left. Do you have any suggestions for how else to tackle it, or is it merely a case of getting more used to how the walls move? :V

[moozooh]

Well, there are the Japanese way (which requires a lot of balls, among other things) and Prometheus's way, which is less ballsy and possibly more accessible, though less effective. To be honest, I haven't mastered either of them, and I've barely played DDP (or other shmups) the last few months. It's amazing to me that not all of you here have beaten my score of 39.7 million.

[Matsuri]

I haven't because I don't play DDP much at all :V

[Bananamatic]

use shot instead of laser, it slows down the game :V

[Formless God]

Crimzon Clover question :V
How much points do I get for 1cc-ing all 3 stages ? Do I suffer from any penalties by using credits ?

[KOA]

There isn't exactly a bonus for 1ccing all 3 stages. Instead, there's a 1送0000万0000 bonus for no missing a stage. Aside from losing your score/break rate from using continues, that's about the only 'penalty'.

[Ghaleon]

I don't remember how many points I got for 1ccing it, but I think it was something along the lines of 70,000. my score was 80送. It was the first and only time I 1cc'd it. so you can probably do better if you aren't sloppy about it like I probably was.

[Bananamatic]

I tried Crimzon Clover
and I'm disappoint

too long stages/bad controls

[Matsuri]

The stages really aren't that long, and the controls are fine

what the hell are you talking about :V

[KOA]

u trollin'

He's almost always trollin'

[Sapz]

I got it into my head that I should probably record a .inp when I play DDP, so I finally managed to get one which game over'd on 2-1. Here it is. In all honesty, it was about as bad a run as it was possible to do and still hit the second loop, but this is the first time I've gotten a .inp that 1cc'd at all, let alone reach the second loop, so whatever. :V Score was pretty good, though not my best; 42.5 million.

Stages were kind of long, but they were fun, so. As for the controls, use something like AutoHotKey to re-map things so lock-on is shift and BREAK MODE is X. :V

not the button layout

the battleship movement feels weird

I must second this. Had plenty of cheap feeling deaths because of it.

[Formless God]

Still not as weird as, say, PCB and Alternative Sphere.

I recall having some slight input lag because of the amount of awesomeness happening on the screen at once, but that's pretty much it.

Oh, well, in that case you should play something with a similarly fast or faster speed to get used to it, like, say,
[size=8]DANGUNFEVERON[/size]
for example. :V

Spoiler:

This probably won't do anything to help at all but go play that some more anyway

[Bananamatic]

it's not fast, it feels like you're moving on glue

[Azinth]

Why is it that whenever I try to record a .inp, my run always immediately goes right down the shitter?

For some reason I just can't 1cc Gunbird 2's first loop again.  I've only done it twice, and the last time was like two months ago.  Hopefully I'm just rusty and I'll get over it...

Happens to me too... that DDP .inp I posted was the one successful run in about thirty or forty attempts. :V Maybe it's the pressure to do well?

[size=8]DANGUNFEVERON[/size]
for example. :V

FEVER!

[Aisha]

Dangun Feveron's OST is really fun to listen to. :V

[Bananamatic]

delicious boss BGM

[Aisha]

Raging Decide is superior, though.

[Bananamatic]

NO REMORSE wins, hands down

I used to like Raging Decide, but then I learned how to milk bosses.  Now I'm not quite so fond of it.

tbh:

NO REMORSE wins, hands down

though GUWANGE-SAMA is up there too.
