Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[Stef]

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?

That was my assumption and maybe I was wrong (i don't have details about that detection stuff, i just know the game detect different hardware and adjust game settings from that).
After all it can definitely be a bug which make the game always start in that mode.
Still Lizardrive actually managed to bypass the minigame playing with the MegaSG settings:

So that is definitely possible.

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...

yeah I started the Paprium subforum joke but the more it goes the more it doesn't seem like a joke to me...

There are ways around that... just use a generic title like “Unlockables/Secrets guide for Genesis beat ‘em ups released in 2020”

Happy new year for all!
I saw the game and something is intriguing for me. Is about the color balance. Im seeing a violet or magent pattern/(layer?) in many stages. Pyron what you think about?

I tried the region settings and auto-start as well and was not successful. May have also only happened after he started the game on a real MD, which I did not do first.

The game definitely knows what system it’s on, what’s hooked up to it whether a Sega CD or 32x, and how many controller. I wonder if it sees the Grand Stick III and has a image for that?

It definitely sees my Nomad.





Here it is on my Tower of Power.

Do the Sax man versions of the songs exist in the Boom Box? If not he's gotta be a secret... if not it's criminal :P

Yeah the game seems to have some pretty advanced system detection routines. It also knows whether it's running on a TMSS system or not. On my TMSS model 2 the copyright screen starts with "disregard the previous message" whereas on my non-TMSS model 1 it just start with "this game is not licensed by Sega".

No, I only used Mega SG (latest FW). Check these pictures and try reproducing it: https://twitter.com/lizardrive/statu...12536288559105

If you did not get a shipped email and only a shipping then your order did not ship. Had to confirm this before i posted it here for you guys. So mine did not get shipped out yet.

That is so cool. I wonder how many variations it has, will it show the JVC X'Eye for example? How about the Teradrive? Was this included because the game has to slightly adjust the timing for each variation or because it's just fun to show it?

Seeing Saxman show up is one of my favorite parts. That's one feature that really makes it look like a '90s arcade game.

[crazyteknohed]

I wonder if it recognises any of these:

I would be mightily impressed if so!

This are the same settings that I also used the first time I ran the game. I'm in an NTSC zone so those are my defaults.

I think I'm also running on older firmware (4.6).

Oh, so this may explain this difference! Who knows, maybe you'll find more interesting results changing other settings?

[nihilblack]

I've tried that on the latest jailbreak firmware to no avail, it's still stuck at the minigame.
