Looks like I need to do some more scanning for you ;-)

I am off soon for my Christmas break from work, so I will target to get the next batch done then.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: SCD vs ACD comparisons]

I have found a copy of the 3x3 eyes comparison video.  I have re-uploaded this to YouTube:

All credit for this video goes to:  https://superpcenginegrafx.net/

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: SCD vs ACD comparisons]

I've searched for comparison videos, and can't find any. I searched the forums here, and there was a 3x3 eyes comparison which appears now to be offline.

The video when available was from https://superpcenginegrafx.net/  I am sure that this is CrackTiger's site.

I do have a rip of the video somewhere, I will take a look.

Cheat time!

Super Darius with Ootake.

If you press "↓ + RUN" button on the title screen, you can play 26 bodies (by Tokiwa Saburo) mode.

Although it is a complicated command if it is an actual machine, Ootake is in charge of Controller 2 and SEL button so it is possible to challenge with "↓ + RUN" because it becomes a tendon sheath if you input it every time.


Ootakeでスーパーダライアス。タイトル画面で「↓＋RUN」ボタンを押すと26体戦えますか（by時任三郎）モードが遊べます。実機だと複雑なコマンドなのですが毎回入力していると腱鞘炎になってしまう為、コントローラ２とSELボタンをOotakeが担当して「↓＋RUN」で挑戦可能です

Just picked up that V2.84 is on its way soon (Maybe the last update for a while).

This should fix a few bugs introduced in 2.83, including a few with audio.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Ootake v2.81 Released (2017/08/05)]

I have been using Elaborate Bytes Virtual CloneDrive for a while.  It is free, works with Windows 10 and supports all common image formats such as ISO, BIN, IMG, UDF, DVD, and CCD

https://www.elby.ch/en/products/vcd.html


If you are only using ISO files Windows 10 can nativly mount these, just Right-click an ISO file in 'Windows File Explorer' and select the 'Mount' option.  This will map the ISO to a free drive letter


If you want a more complete solution, in the past I have also used Alcohol 52%.  However this comes bundled with other cr#p that you cannot uninstall,  that is why I stopped using it. The full paid version Alcohol 120% does not! http://www.alcohol-soft.com/

Changelog (Taken from Readme.txt)

2017/11/08 2.87

  - At the top of the "Input" menu, the current pad connection status is
    displayed on one line, such as "Connect [x-Button Pad]". If you place the
    mouse cursor over it, the menu for changing the connection pad appears.

  - "3-Button Pad (I+II)" added to the pad selection of the above menu. If
    this is selected, pressing [IIIr] button will result in pressing +[II]
    button at the same time. In addition, [IIIs] button becomes [RUN] button.
    It can be used for jumping of +[II] in "Double Dragon II", and for
    simultaneous bullet shooting of +[II] in "Super Darius" and "Darius
    Plus", and so on.

  - [Alt] key can be assigned to PCE controller setting. Therefore, when you
    want to open the menu, please use [Esc] key, the button by "CPU->
    Configure Pause Button" menu, or mouse click.
    Also, when [Shift] key is pressed five times, the fixed key setting dialog
    will not be displayed. As a result, [Shift] key can be assigned to PCE
    controller setting.

  - When setting PCE controller from the [Setting] button (lower left of the
    initial green screen), PCE controllers #2-#5 are initialized (keys not
    set). If your controller setting is not stable, please set it here.

  - The number of save states can be used to a maximum of 80.
    (increased from 50 to 80)

  - In the visual scene of the end of "Tenshi no Uta II", the problem of
    stopping was solved (occurred in recent version. adjustment of CD access
    timing). I was able to check the operation without problem until ending
    with this version.

  - When entering the first tower in "Tenshi no Uta II", the problem that
    large noise exists on the head of some audio tracks (* this noises exists
    with a real PC Engine) was solved. In Ootake, this obvious unnecessary
    noise is cut and played cleanly.
    * This problem is probably caused by a CD-ROM production mistake at that
      time (the sound of the end of the previous track is mixed at the
      beginning of the track).
      In "Tenshi no Uta II", "Rayxanber II", "Eikan ha Kimini" and "Ginga
      Fukei Densetsu Sapphire", this problem happens. Ootake solves it. If you
      uncheck "Setting-> Improve-> Cut Inaccurate CD-DA Track Head Noise"
      menu, this solving will be invalid (noise appear like real PC Engine).

  - When specifying ".cue file" as an argument from the command prompt, the
    bug that could not be opened (occurred from v2.81) has been fixed.

  - Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

  + Thank you very much for your reporting and encouragement. In this version,
    there are few changes and the source change is slight. For a while (at
    least for the Japanese autumn horse racing season), I will take a break.
    I am pleased if this v2.86 becomes a stable version. But, if urgent
    trouble or things worked on the previous version did not work, I will fix
    it soon and update it.
