Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label Extra [JP X360] - Patch is out!

antares · January 14, 2011, 06:33:54 PM

I'll believe it when it's here.

emphatic · January 14, 2011, 06:54:45 PM

Wow.

Can the port reach PS2 Ibara prices now, please?

Seriously though, we need a reversed Facepalm smiley.

I know what you mean. But this time it's for real. No doubt about it.

njiska · January 15, 2011, 05:42:08 AM

Are you fucking serious? It's actually done, works without crashing? What sick parallel universe have I awoken to?

Oh well, here's hoping the announcement Monday is that the patch is live as those can be rolled out at any time. Unlike PSN which works on a weekly cycle.

Finally, 5pb's posted news about the update in their official DOJBLEX page.

Time to get destroyed more often thanks to lessor loading times.

I can't wait to see how they manage to fuck this up.

Any chance we could get a summary of the patch notes, EOJ?

I remembered seeing those. I just wasn't sure if the updated notes with the latest post on 5PB were any different.

Dude · January 17, 2011, 08:52:25 AM

Well if they did not steal arikas code and use a ps2 emulator for 360 this would not have been a issue lol.

MikeNeko · January 17, 2011, 08:56:18 AM

Some of the bugs were quite severe... it's odd Microsoft accepted the release, there is no review by MS staff ?

Anyway, good news for the patch, maybe a new shipment planned with the fixed game on disk ?

HVL · January 17, 2011, 10:40:10 AM

Mad props to 5pb and Arika for getting through all of this, instead of giving up like a pussy.

.

Now if CAVE would fix their ports...

I'm pretty sure they already said there wouldn't be a reprint...you never know though, I guess.

They are basically the same.

Hell isn't frozen over until the update hits my xbox. Then i'll truly believe.

emphatic · January 17, 2011, 02:08:38 PM

I wonder about that offline update via USB. Has this been used by any game in the past? It sounds weird. Also, I wonder when the first .iso of that patch will appear online.

SuperPang · January 18, 2011, 08:19:44 AM

I wondered about that also. There must be code they don't want readily available for them not to offer a download. They probably started the port from scratch

Dude · January 18, 2011, 08:51:13 AM

jtag ftw

StarCreator · January 18, 2011, 11:13:27 AM

Does the offline USB update really contain anything not in the online update? I got the vague impression they were just providing it for people who for whatever reason aren't on Live.

Yes, this is why they are doing it.

With my previous ISP, after a change of configuration by MS after an update, i couldn t connect to windows live anymore because the packets required were too large... maybe in japan some people face the same issue.
I don t have the problem anymore, i have a better provider but that was frustrating.

supabok · January 19, 2011, 06:11:40 AM

The patch is up now! It's wednesday night in Tokyo and I just updated my copy!!
Finally!
as always, thx for the heads up EOJ

bcass · January 19, 2011, 06:43:26 AM

Interestingly, there's a new Xbox 360 system update out today too. One of the new features allows you to install game updates onto the HDD instead of having the last 10 residing on the cache.

I updated as well. I thought that the leaderboard were wiped clean, but all the old scores/replays were still there.

bcass · January 19, 2011, 07:25:20 AM

They've been wiped now. All local scores are still intact though. Button response is still a little flakey in some of the menus though...

yeah especially when trying to select leaderboards/achievements/extra!

btw, when choosing level select in new arcade mode, when you go to start the game if you hit the a button you start the level with
no power ups but if you hit the start button you start the level fully powered up. Is this normal? Not that i'm complaining really

nice to have the option though

emphatic · January 19, 2011, 08:42:43 AM

I watched a replay a moment ago, and I noticed that the bonus between stages weren't skipped, so I pressed A button, and that skipped it. The next stage started playing correctly, so it was a good thing. During stages, the A button acts as a pause button.

Is this something that can be configured now?

EOJ · January 19, 2011, 02:24:09 PM

Thanks for the heads up, just downloaded it a bit ago and tried it out. Loads are really reduced, about 15 second for the initial load time, down from the ~1min it used to be. The graphics look sharper without the blur filter, and being able to watch replays is killer! I just watched SIN's 100 billion score in X-Mode. You can pause replays with the A button, and skip forward or backward a stage with the L and R buttons (a great feature in no other Cave port).

This game was playable before, but now it's officially awesome.
