Im on the seventh stage of Kid Dracula (translated). Stage 1 boss in this game is very WTF, how in the heck that made it past Nintendo's seal of approval is beyond me, but fun game other than that.

@capeman I really love this game! The Game Boy version is funny too, and has cheevos: http://retroachievements.org/Game/2231

By the way, the NES version doesn't have cheevos, but a great cheevos developer show interest in making a set.

I still have yet to get into retro achievements, too lazy to read into how to enable it, hahaha.

Wow! Really lazy! :)
The wiki page for this is pretty short: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroAchievements/

@meleu WOW you're right, that really is simple. Do you have to have your roms named specifically for it to work? (like do they have to match the no-intro romset naming convention), because i removed all the (U)(!) in my rom names back in the day when i didnt know how to edit gamelists, or is it all by checksum or something like that.

@capeman RetroArch calculates the hash when launching the game with cheevos enabled. No worries about file names.

Finally got to playing with the whole bin/cue thing, only to find eboots, and lo and behold, there's Galaga - Destination Earth on psx. I'm a big fan of the classics so had to try it:)
Got to say I'm really impressed, it plays in the classic arcade style (with a 3D twist of course) but goes into full first person flight mode and also a 2d side scroller.

If you like Galaga, (really? As if I had to ask...) I'd certainly recommend it, although any sore thumb syndrome you may suffer as a result, I take no responsibility for.

A surprise winner with the younglings as well.

Also Capcom could be waiting for the launch date to shut it down because look how many others were make in the past like the Mega Man X game that was suppose to be a 3D based game which got shut down like a day or two before it was going to be released because while the creator of Mega Man is gone Capcom still holds the licence to the Mega Man name.

Currently fighting through Fever SOS. Can pass the first stage every time without dying! Stage 2 costs me an additional credit, though :P

@ecks in that topic somebody alerted about Capcom disaproval. The Mega Maker creator answered this:

Capeman

I'm almost willing to believe this, there's a very notable mega man fan game called Mega Man Unlimited for PC created over years by MegaPhilX. It's been around a long time and its so professional that Capcom accidentally use an image of his game in a promo, no joke. He has been contacted by them before apparently and is still allowed to update and distribute his game. It's a weird situation, but from what i've seen in the mega man fan game community, he might actually have a point. Capcom is indeed not Nintendo, at least not publicly.

@ecks SNES, I'm sticking to the original feeling.
