Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[nihilblack]

I wonder if there are more shortcuts like that in other levels. That would make repeating the same path three times to do the missions less of a grind.

By the way, I've finished the original mode a few times on hard, and no Boom Box for me. I think it's probably tied to your score, as someone mentioned here (It's in the book included with the Investor's Edition? Someone should scan it!).

I am sure I will get some flack for this, but for the sake of not cluttering up this subforum, I merged all threads regarding Paprium into one thread.

Seems a huge error. Particularly given the fault thread was attempting to work out which MDs had issues. That's now lost in this mess 🤦🏻

Yup... that was a valuable source of information. Potentially useful to other developers as well.

If you walk forward after leaving Dice's apartment, after killing the guys outside his door, walk right then double back towards his apartment and try to walk left past it, the game will call you a s*ssy and it will teleport you directly to the 1st stage boss.

Yep, I wrote that a few posts up in this page.

That would be uncool. Honestly, if the stick is the hold up I'm fine with the games being sent out and hit me back up in 6 months with the stick. Hard to watch all of these people enjoying, especially the ones that weren't original investors, when I went 7 years waiting.

Probably not, my order says to be 'shipping' just with the games, as the stick gives an error that it´s 'out of stock', even the message at (pre)order page saying that the stick is ready to be shipped. Fonzie replied that he´s investigating, since it should have been added to the same order.
Let´s see what happens.

I just logged back into MGF. It says this:

My Pre-orders
PAPRIUM INVESTOR(U) x 1
Converted the: 28/12/2020
There is a small hourglass to the right and it says this when clicked: This pre-ordered item is not ready to ship!
Has anyone else gotten this error?

Something like that, the Grand Stick says that it´s ready to ship, with a green 'check'.
But when I click the Order button it´s says it could not be added to the order because it´s not in stock, this is since 15th, when I confirmed the address and the order with just the game was placed.

Seems a huge error. Particularly given the fault thread was attempting to work out which MDs had issues. That's now lost in this mess 🤦🏻

Agreed, since maybe it´s not exclusive to Paprium, as the game is reported to run on a clone, but some official hardware freezes.

I'd go so far as to recommend an entire sub-forum for Paprium, as it is clearly the most popular thing discussed
in most if not all of Sega-16's history. Looking at the other sub-forums, it makes the Sega Center Arcade and
SG-1000 Mainframe completely pale in comparison. I don't agree to merging the other threads with this one, either.

Admins be jealous there was no 100+ page megathread active.

I don't think that's necessary, because as NeoVamp pointed out, we are far from being able to reach a full page of active threads. But yes, merging the Paprium threads together was definitely a mistake, since they were separated from the start for good reason.

[crazyteknohed]

Shall we start a new thread about issues running the latest game on your system without mentioning the name of the game? Do you think that will be safe enough for the mods not to ruin it?

[Spendle]

Is there an undo button??

I see the logic in merging the threads about posting and cart issues as that was being simultaneously discussed in this thread, but it's definitely worth having a separate, focussed thread on which systems the game works on and which it doesn't. That'll be a useful resource for years to come.

I agree that Paprium doesn't need to be taking up the entire front page, but merging all the threads into one was overzealous. Probably best to have a general discussion thread, and an "Issues" thread for things like order status and system compatibility.

Is the megawire feature no longer a thing in the final (shipped) carts?
It was mentioned as having megawire some years ago (in the early manual, party in paris?).

I haven't seen in this thread about it recently but I also didn't thoroughly search. Curious because I bought a couple pre-orders for April 2021 ship.

Excellent episode, thanks for the notification Pyron and thanks for the episode Joe. "Plasic Game Room", I lol'd there and at other times.

Damn, there's some heavy dithering in some places.
