Elemental Gearbolt Act 1 Normal (ePSXe 1.6)

Also known as: 幻世虚構 精霊機導弾 Elemental Gearbolt: "Fictional Illusory World - Spirit Mobile Assault Elemental Gearbolt".

Well, my PSX died long time ago but I "revived" it thanks to the magic of ePSXe 1.6 and, well, decided to try if this game worked better than it did on my console (it used to lag a lot with the sound, probably because my CD was quite scratched or worse)
As you can see, it runs at full speed and without issues. Oh, yes, I died at the end too. I also used the mouse (cheap version of a guncon, huh?). It says normal but, damn this thing is hard. I can't get past stage 4. Enemies attack stupidly fast even if I force the game to a constant 60 fps.

........FUUU I forgot there were save states on the emulator! I just keep restarting until I actually finish the game w/o getting a game over lol

@AndyN Hehe, yeah, savestates are helpful to practice later bosses or complicated parts (Act 4 comes to my mind...) but you were actually playing the right way! That is, trying to achieve the 1 credit clear, aka, 1cc. I think I'll go back to Elemental Gearbolt. It's like Omega Boost: one of those awesome underrated classics.

I have a question.

How did you manage to run this game on epsxe?

I am using the same version that you are using, but for some reason when I start the game up it doesn't even load the intro movie, the emulator just shuts down.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[GloriousLight]

Yeah, it's a known bug of this old ePSXe version. You had to run the executable with a '-noauto' clause through the command line but it has been solved for the newest 1.7.0. Try getting that one as it also increases mouse compatibility.

Hope that helps.

I remember playing this game with a friend. We really wanted to beat this game and since it was hard, we had good times.

[GloriousLight]

Yes, this game is such a finger breaker... I finally recorded a video of Chapter 4, arguably the turning point where the game goes quite crazy difficulty-wise.

I miss the shooters on-rails with this level of insanity, surrealism and coolness.

I played this with my brother this game was the shit! now that i think about it the time i had my ps1 and n64 was when i enjoyed videogaming the most so many good games RE1 to RE3, dinocrisis, Lunar, Zelda all good games.

[scribble71891]

Omg after 10 years I finally found this game once more! =] I can't wait to download it!

[AndyN]

@GloriousLight Yeah, I own both Elemental Gearbolt and Omega Boost. They're BOTH awesome games that don't get a lot of spotlight (except for that contest for EG...with the gold plated Guncon....)

[dannyofthededd]

never thought i'd play this again until i recently found a second hand modded ps1 and coolrom.com...2 very happy accidents..memories
