the feeling of adrenalin with modern shmups (manic shooters) is due to "Hit box"... on old games, anything that goes to your ship kills it (or loses power as in 1943), but in modern ones, you survive incredible waves and feel invincible for some time or seconds.. due to the hit box which is thinner... combined to the mathematical patterns of the enemies bullets that are way more sophisticated than old games single shots, give this tremendous sympathy from many new hardcore nerves gamers to shmups !
there's certainly matter if you Jtag the xbox360 to use alternate dashboards, and that would be a better way to gain access to DLC parts of some Cave games.
yep ps3 is a total loser for "Tate" shmups games.. even good shmups games !! xbox360 has such a great listing. but some games are still "JAP" only locked (even some versions of a game are locked !, Cave is specialist in multiple versions of some games (it's called "Black label" rarer jamma boards with higher difficulty). (except if you have a xbox360 hardware Asian/jap or JTAG one.. Asian is 220v..)
the best combo for nearly all shmups games is xbox+coinops + xbox360+jtag but would require 2 different pad hacks... but with an astrocity pinout for inputs... you can put specific connectors, some people sell hacked pads with direct plug-in
(~50€/piece) and it's matter of 3 seconds to change from xbox1 to xbox360.. no more time if you have a RGB switch too..
or you can sell your lungs for real good Jamma..
