Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[SEGA-Jorge]

As it happens, I'm working on recording some tracks from my Mega Drive and just today I've been matching song titles with level names. This is what I've got so far:

• Aquaworld => Indie Break Beat
• Bhopal B2 => Dark Power & Mad
• Bion-Mart => Cool Groove
• Block 888 => Bone Crusher
• Blue Bar => Club Shuffle
• Boss Fight => Drumbass Boss
• Boss Low Levels => Hardcore BP1
• Boss Skyline => Hardcore BP3
• Boss Underground/Mid Levels => Hardcore BP2
• Central Park => Jazzy Shuffle
• Character Select => 90’s Acid Dub
• Deep Storage => Dark Bounce
• Digniti KTV => Transe
• End Credits => Tough Guy
• Golden of Seas => Cyborg Invasion
• Green Cross => Slow Asian Beat
• Ice Factory => Neon Rider
• Intercom => Asian Chill
• Juvenium => Summer Breeze
• MTS => Techno Beats
• Options => Bad Dudes vs Pap
• Police HQ Act 1 => Retro Beat
• Police HQ Act 2 => Spiral
• Powder Zone => Evolve
• Reformatory => Hard Rock
• Rooftop => 90’s Dance
• Sanophix Labs => Cyber Ninja
• Sanophix PU => Electro Acid Funk
• Sky Spa => Funk Enhanced Mix
• Solarium => Urban
• The Docks Act 1 => Neo Metal
• The Docks Act 2 => Sadness
• The Vault => Cyberpunk Funk

The list is not complete yet but all of the main levels are accounted for here. It should allow you to easily find the track for a specific stage anyway.

Well, when you unlock this track naming thing, it just tells you the track title while you're playing. It displays it on the bottom left when you start a stage. I'm starting to think this might be a Sega-CD thing only.

Yeah I've never seen it though. If it's a Sega CD only thing, then I'll never be able to see it anyway. So I hard to do this the hard way, by actually listening to the tracks and comparing it to the videos I've made over the past few weeks.

Still no sign of the song playing at 6:04?

[chilled]

is there somewhere other than this thread a collective effort to sum up what is needed to unlock what, etc ? A papriumwiki would be great, maybe it'll magically form in front of me sometime later.

There are a few YouTube videos like these, but they're probably nowhere near exhaustive:

They're also not exactly concise. I had to spend 20 minutes clicking through one of those videos to figure out how to unlock the secret characters. A decently written FAQ would go a long way.

I was playing with my friend the other day on his Model 1 Sega Genesis and we reset it a couple of times and one time we had a GIANT Boobie Robot that literally took up the entire screen and I believe what was two characters below looking at it. The game the started normally. Haven't been able to make it repeat but that is something new.

You can trigger that by holding the C button while the logos pop up at the start. Holding A will show another screen. That's the only useful bit of information about this game that I've been able to gather from GameFAQs so far.

Another thing I just realized is that the Game knows what hardware it is on. I think it even knows which controllers are plugged in and how many. So in the Sound test it seems my Model 1 Genesis, Model 1 Sega CD, and my 32X. In this soudn video here it shows a Model 1 Sega Genesis hooked up to a Model 2 Sega CD. Pretty neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0H9v7ALCP8

Sorry if I sounded a bit rude, that wasn't my intention. ...
At the end the game doesn't work on MegaSG (as i already told it has severe graphical glitches) and it's clearly a problem with the MegaSG which should be (hopefully) fixable at some point.

First of all I didn't think you were rude. I always welcome more information. But if the MegaSg is glitchy, etc, I wouldn't try to block it. Let people see it for themselves. They'd blame the Mega Sg instead of Fonzie for locking them out of it. It would make the Mega Sg look really bad instead of Fonzie like he's trying to hide something or force people only onto OG consoles. You said you can bypass it. How can we bypass the lockout and see what a mess the MegaSG is for ourselves?

I'd imagine dev builds don't have the lockout? So production copies can't get around it? Hold down some buttons maybe? 😁

[Joe Redifer]

I tried holding some buttons, but of course there's no way Fonzie would make it that simple. I'm sure at least 2 controllers must be used. Maybe even two Grand Stick III's (though a Grand Stick II may work in a pinch... probably not Grand Stick I though).

Maybe you need the Grand Stick IV (unreleased) 😉 or maybe thats why you're not supposed to go sticking jacks in the MegaWire4 phono?

I just watched Joe's review, it's the only time I've watched any proper footage of the game, and it does look good. Review seemed fair, but being in lockdown and now out of the EU I'm not sure I'll ever actually get to play this thing.

Also, my leather underpants are in dire need of an upgrade so that just rubs salt in.

A papriumwiki would be great

A good first step would've been having a dedicated thread for unlockable and Easter eggs. But I dont think the mods would allow it...
