Pink Sweets boxed kit (box in poor shape) sold for 198,000 yen. Doesn't look like a proxy bidder.

CAVE Games / Re: SDOJ in MAME - not likely any time soon

It's low for a non-black label or Ver 1.0 game (though Akai Katana is the lowest in that regard). See here for production estimates based on serial number data:

You're right, SDOJ is not that rare (350 made).

Is this right?  Only 350?  Sounds awfully low to me - were prior Cave titles given higher production runs?

PCB / Re: Would you keep your PCBs if...

You could pose this question on any forum that deals with something that can be owned or collected.

Why own an original piece of artwork if you could grab a print?  And that's not even a great analogy because at least the artist should get royalties from the print.

I just noticed this progear boxed kit from early December that sold for 120,000 yen at auction (doesn't look like a proxy bidder):

Folded poster included. Box serial doesn't look like it matches with the PCB serial, though.

MMP PCB + mint artset + original bubblewrap sold for 177,000 yen, at auction (4 bids). Doesn't look like a proxy bidder won this one.

PCB / Re: Mushi Futari PCB settings

« Last post by buffi on February 18, 2020, 06:28:22 AM »

Anyone know what the "Difficulty" setting in test menu on futari 1.5 actually changes?

Rank in Original mode?
Anything in Maniac/Ultra which I don't think has rank.

CAVE Games / Re: Large bounty offered for Dodonpachi scoring glitch

If it is open to Japanese players as well then one of my major complaints would go away. I still don't like the bounty idea, for reasons I've already discussed, but the community will decide whether or not they want to go down that road. For the record, I will never participate in any bounty contests concerning the discovery or description of gameplay strategies/techniques (rather, I will continue to provide any information I can find or discover for free).
