MAME ROW #11: Moon Cresta
-
@obsidianspider thanks for finding the typo. That's what happens when I do stuff late at night !
File & Link updated. -
@UDb23 I'm I daring too much... asking if it could be possible to make an overlay for New Rally-X (including the scoring scheme)?
:-) -
@meleu mmm.... let me think...
ok...need to find artwork ...
and ... anyway after the Marvel vs Capcom one that is already in the works ;-) -
Man I love how you're keeping this Mame Row going. Keep it up!
-
That overlay is excellent, thanks!
Somehow I managed to get to the docking stage, I'm not entirely sure how, as on other games I got further and it didn't appear.
Anyway, my best so far is a not too impressive 5840!
-
This game is hard . I think I scored 1200 or so on my second attempt - the first I died with 300 or so. So way to go @GtBFilms !
Thanks for the overlay as well @UDb23, it's a great alternative for an overlay with details about the game!
There's a really good one for Moon Cresta in the Arcade Bezels shared by John Merrit somewhere, and I believe in Floob's tool, I believe: https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager
They can be found here, I think:
https://github.com/libretro/arcade-overlays
in particular here:
Hope it helps as well, for inspiration or as an alternative! I think it's based on the actual cabinet.
-
@pjft Thanks for the link. I saw that one too, yes it reproduces the original bezel used in actual cabinets (I played the real thing many many years ago).
Personally I prefer using overlays with maximum game area, using original artwork (cabinet graphics or flyer), no curvature or reflections/shadows effects. -
-
@UDb23 Now that is flat out cool
-
@UDb23 Yeah, I'm not a great fan of the curvature either, to be honest. I still haven't settled on whether to use overlays or not, so I'm just trying thins and seeing what sticks.
I do need the scanlines overlay, though - without that it's really hard for me to enjoy playing any of these games :)
-
@pjft LOL!
Yes, those comets wiped me out!
-
-
@UDb23 I think having the instructions for the games is a really nice feature. Thanks UDb23!
-
Woohool!! I passed through the comets! But didn't destroy a single enemy after that... :(
At least I got a nice hi-score: 7240
B-)
-
@meleu only 6040 here... (killed by comets) ... these aliens are really tough !
Did you also notice slow controller reaction when selecting letters for high score ?

Yep. I keep the d-pad pressed to make it going faster. But the input seems laggy ate that screen.
-
Maybe I'm just missing something, but how do you steer the ship when docking? Pressing left and right does nothing, and pressing the button doesn't seem to do a whole heck of a lot either.
-
@obsidianspider Left & right do work during docking, basically just reacting slower to input.
-
UNBELIEVABLE!! I passed through those missiles after the meteors (according to the information in the @UDb23 's overlay, they are called Atomic Pile). And after that the enemies repeat: Cold Eye, Super Fly, Four-D, Meteor and Atomic Pile.
I died at the second session of Atomic Piles. But got a really nice hi-score: 17180.
A word about scoring: what really makes difference are the bonus stages! Almost 9k of my score came from two bonus stages.

@meleu Great result !
