List of unusual behaviors for SCD/ACD games with System Card 1.0 inserted

[exodus]

I couldn't find such a list, so I'd like to start a thread (if there is a list, please direct me to it!).

Specifically, I'm interested in SCD/ACD games that give you something other than an error message when you insert the disc. Now that I've gone through my 134 SCD/ACD games to test them out, I wish I'd logged what *all* of them do, not just the unusual ones, but superpcenginegrafx has a partial list for a few of them.

So, here's what I found, please feel free to add.

Minigames:
Dracula X - cute/weird action minigame

Dragon Slayer (PCE) - music player and monster compendium

Exile II (PCE) - if you press the I button, Rumi's "ne <3" speech bubble blinks (hey, it's interaction)

Solid Force – characters are looking at the screen of an RPG - you get the option to "quit" or "continue" - if you choose continue, a giant foot in high heels and stockings kicks you.

Seisenshi Denshou: Jantaku no Kishi - has a full majhong match to play.

*UNTESTED* Tenshi no Uta II: Datenshi no Uta - appears to have a one-off battle? Could just be a static screen. Can someone confirm?

Ryuuko no Ken (art of fighting) - casino/slot match where you're trying to slice daikon.

and then there's *basically every backup warning message* which has interaction as well.

No error message:
Alnam no kiba - just hangs on "just a moment" forever

Baby Jo - black screen, then resets to "push run button"

Psychic Visual Detective Series 3 Aya - shows the DataWest logo, then tries to run the game - total mess of visual artifacts, but music plays fine, still accepts inputs. Super weird!

Psychic Visual Detective Series 1 Orgel – about the same as above, except doesn't play music, no color in artifacts.

Blackhole Assault - intro works great, but once you get into the game, it's pixel salad. accepts all inputs and seems to run the actual game, though I have trouble getting past the menus!

God Panic - black screen for a while, then visual error plus clicking.

Magicoal – shows the NEC logo, then black screen

Rayxanber III – you can totally play the whole dang game, it's just extremely visually corrupted.

Slime World – sometimes visual errors, sometimes nothing.

Travel Able – Riot logo screen then reset. Very odd to not have a screen in such a late game!

Yuyu Hakusho – just resets to the title screen

And here are some games that aren't SCDs at all, or are "secretly" dual-compatible, and work just fine on system 1.0
Builderland
Record of Lodoss War (SCD version)
Macross 2036 (this one really surprised me!!)
Ranma 1/2 DATŌ, GANSO MUSABETSU KAKUTŌ-RYŪ!
Yawara!

Some games I didn't try, usually because I don't own them:
Jim Power (mine is sealed and suddenly that game has gone up in price so I felt weird opening it!), but I reckon that one has nothing just like the other Micro World stuff.
Nexzr (non-caravan)
Sylphia
Anearth Fantasy Stories Taikenban
Fire Pro Female Wrestling
Far East of Eden: Kabuki Itouryodan (I own this, where did it go ;_;)
Madou Monogatari
Linda3

I'd also like to note that moonlight lady has a really cute long animated sequence for their error message! also that disc 2 of galaxy fraulein yuna has the same error message as yuna 2.

Neat thread.  Are you trying 'em with a 2.x card as well to see if there's any difference?

[CrackTiger]

Nice work. I believe  Blacktiger has a bunch of these archived at superpcenginegrafx.com as well.

It's .net now.

.... and it's linked in the original post.

Hooked on phonics did not work for nully.

Not at all; it just tastes weird.

But I like salt and vinegar potato chips, so go figure.

I love salt-n-vinegar chips, even the reduced fat ones!

I've just been trying with system 1.0, because I don't have a 2.0! I should get one. But I have tested things like - do ACD games that show a 1.0/2.0 card in their error screen show a different error or card if you've got 3.0 in there? and the answer to that question is no. So this is total non-science here, but my assumption is it simply checks for "correct card" vs "incorrect card" and goes from there.

But since there are a lot of unusual behaviors, who knows! I'd love to see if the games that don't have error messages react differently to the 2.0.

Any screen shots or videos you can link to the Dracula X mini game?  I never knew of this.

EDIT:  Removed.  Just looked at other site and it's already there.

The 1.0-only games show how some of the revisions (2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc) might cause unique issues with various games.

If you have a Turbo Everdrive, then you have all of the <3.0 cards.

Vasteel 2's intro looks for everything that could possibly be plugged into your machine and lists it. Memory Base 128, multi-tap, etc.

That's the best part of the game!

[bob]

that would have made a great entry to the pce screenshot challenge.

[exodus]

ah, right! I forgot that about vasteel 2. So I guess they can look up and tell the specific difference if they choose to.

I don't have an everdrive, otherwise I'd test it all! Someone else can help with that

[esteban]

that would have made a great entry to the pce screenshot challenge.

I think someone did use it....years ago.

[CrackTiger]

Most old timers know it too well and I think it was used.

yeah, i never paid much attention to the thread.
so i guess the 5 old timers left would get it pretty quickly.  lol
personally, i never knew about this since i dont own any of the system cards prior to 3.0

[TurboXray]

There are a handful of bi-compatible CD games, IIRC. Terraforming is another one.

You don't really have to be much of an old timer. That's a really popular thread that's been going for years. A lot of people have seen it.
