When I (or someone else) reconfigure and optimize the attack waves, I'll setup a excel sheet (or something similar) to compute the maximum score and enemies to shoot down. The max score should stay under a million and the max enemies that can be shoot down must be less than 10000. However, if you finish the game you will be rewarded with the special bonus: currently only on the end-screen, but not (yet) on the title screen and the HSC table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the player got to many points for shooting down an enemy. All future scores will be much lower than the current scores in the online HSC database. So I just deleted all scores. Found a bug in the new build where if you shoot the lead plane in the top row when the four sets of planes fly in from the side, the remaining plane will flip horizontally. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just beat the game and it flashed a screen quickly (too quick for me to make it out) and then went to the title screen. The Top 5 Ranking Score screen didn’t load either. IMG_5100.MOV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you died while moving to the right? I think we need a "right" restrainer for the game-over and endscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Not sure. I won’t be able to test more today, but if I’m able to beat the game again, I’ll test moving to the right to see if that’s the cause. its much more challenging with the score update.?

Prizrak Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Played a bit earlier and had to go kama KAZI because I was being called away. Love the new changes and I feel the balance is better and not so easy to rack up a score. BTW is there a post that shows which color power ups do which?Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to test the ROM and complete the game in order to see that cool looking end-screen.? I'll try to test some more tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add the 10,000,000 PTS in the DB for now. But all scores will be deleted again when the final attack waves configuration is completed.. btw. Scores sent from old binaries are now ignored by the HSC backend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice to have a playable version of 1942 on this classic console and all the better, that we can all play it via PlusCart.? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SQL Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Tried the latest build on PlusCart, 1942 is awesome! Love the gameplay and the music! Noticed it is sometimes possible to lose two lives in a row. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
