Was reading the wiki on this game https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekketsu_Oyako and noticed a few differences between the Saturn and PS1 versions of the game.

Namely these two:

• In the PlayStation version, it is possible to gain more health than 100%. This appears to have been removed in the Saturn game, altering the difficulty to a degree.

• The loading times are slightly longer on the Saturn, causing a 'Now Loading' screen between scenery. However, the difference in time is only a few seconds more.

The first item especially is helpful and lets you use more special moves for clearing enemies and bosses. Just thoughts for future runners.

Hello all,

This game is a bit of an odd one to emulate. Here are the steps:

1. You need the Fighter Build of the custom RPCS3 fork which is made to emulate Namco 357 arcade systems (https://www.emuline.org/topic/3436-emu-rpcs3-arcade-fork-project-omed-system-357-369-359/)

2. Do what this guide says https://fliphtml5.com/avfsn/qssk/PROJECT_OMED_FAQ/ especially in regards to setting up the Dongle.

3. Make sure you are putting your game files in the emulator /games directory, not using Add Game to add it from some other directory.

4. After starting once, use DemulShooter to patch the HDD1 PPU files (or extract the rar file from the Resources zip into hdd1 directory)

5. Use DemulShooter for mouse input settings.

If you have any trouble feel free to send me a message and I will do my best to help!

Hello,

Would it be possible to get an arcade category and arcade - coop category added?

Have a 2P run to submit.

Thank you.

Hello ivan,

Was wondering if we could add a 2P category to this game? HighWarlordJC and I have a run to submit :)

Thank you!

Hello all,

Just wanted to note that the developer has stated that likely the next major patch or two he plans to add a 5th level to the game.

This will likely cause all runs to be invalidated and archived with all categories being refreshed for the new 5 Level game when it occurs.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in advance.

Hello Chuseum,

I would like to request a 2P Coop category please. I have a run to submit with my arcade partner.

Thank you!

Howdy Ninpo,

Was looking at this game on http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=redhawk&search_id=1 and seems that it is the Korean release version of Stagger 1 http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=stagger1&back_games=redhawk;&search_id=1

Just wanted to let you know if you are looking for some competition / community on this game Stagger 1 is on SRC at https://www.speedrun.com/stagger_i

Not sure if the Red Hawk clone version has any rom differences though, or maybe is a different game in some way and I am not fully understanding.

Take care

Hello all runners,

Current problems with this game emulation wise:

• Timer runs slightly faster in emulator

• Some graphics and lighting effects not popping in

• Sound garbled.

• Can only select Beginner in Time Trial

Because of this we are going to be separating the Original and Emulated categories for now. And in the future if emulation improves, be aware that your emulated runs might become obsolete / easily beaten when the timer is completely fixed.

Based on my own experiences running this, mixed with this review status from a bit ago by Video Game Esoterica:

Hello Edo,

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a 2P Arcade category?

I have a run to submit with my arcade partner :)

Thank you!

Currently the final time is based on the Final Time at the end of races. This allows for knocking time off by Tricks, Air time, and most importantly Snowball + Takedowns. Its also not strictly "fastest".

Alternative idea is to used Elapsed Time displayed at end of races, which is a more honest assessment of how long the race took, with no benefits to style play.

For now Ive gone with the Final Time timer, because it allows for more varied play and strategies. If other runners disagree though, we could change it in the future. Let me know what you think!

Hello Chronoon

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a 2P category added?

I have a run to submit :)

Thank you!

Hello,

I was looking for this game to do a run, but couldnt find it in the King of Fighters series https://www.speedrun.com/series/the_king_of_fighters

Any chance it could be added to the Series for visibility?

Will be submitting my run tomorrow :)

Thank you!

Hello,

I was wondering if a 2P category could be created? I have a 2P run to submit.

Thank you!

Currently this game is emulatable in TeknoParrot, however one of the minigames is broken and can not be completed. Once this is fixed the game categories will be opened up.

Hello Felipe,

Recently ran this one using the Play! emulator from the Arcade version.

Game seems a bit different and jankier, unlikely to ever compete with the PS2 version just due to frame rate smoothness alone.

Was wondering what people thought about splitting things into a PS2 and Arcade subcategories?

If not no problem, I can submit to the regular leaderboard and just be low rankings due to Arcade version.

Here is route info on achieving the different Normal vs Good ending.

Morning Boss, hope all is well.

Had the same question about this game as I did about the DoDonPachi 2 game. Is this one made by CAVE and should be part of CAVE Series?

Thank you!

Hello Boss an Manticor,

Was on a campaign to get top of 2P in all the CAVE games and noticed this DoDonPachi game is one of the only ones missing from the CAVE Series https://www.speedrun.com/series/cave

Any thoughts on getting it added?

Thank you!
