Scrobins | 1,725 Moderator · Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Homebrew Leader Board Competition 2020 - Game 6: Shmup Speed Play Period: Friday, June 5, 2020 - Sunday, June 21, 2020 Download the rom here at the bottom of the page. All hail Daddy @Gloves!! In addition to providing this digital roof over our heads, Gloves participates in the Extra Life 24-Hour gaming marathon to raise money for charity, a worthy endeavor he continues every year. Because he's such a straight shooter, for his 2018 outing, Gloves commissioned a unique homebrew: Shmup Speed. This game/tool represents a development dream team: with coding by KHAN Games; design, sprites, and planning by Gloves himself; packaging, manuals, and labels by Sole Goose Productions; carts by SNESNESCUBE64; and music by Thomas Cipollone. Need help improving your enemy-blasting skills? Shmup Speed measures your "presses per second" for a brief period as you mash the hell out of the A & B buttons on your NES controller, or whatever you have handy. Not much of a shooter? That's ok, Shmup Speed is a tool to focus on your finger blasting, so there aren't any enemies to shoot up. Who's got the fastest fingers on VGS? We shall soon see... Gloves gave 5 CIBs of Shmup Speed to the development team and offered 5 more in an auction on NA. Sadly those are the only legitimate physical copies in existence. But fear not, the Shmup Speed rom is available here. How to submit your score: 1. Scores shall be submitted by posting a picture to that month’s game thread. Screenshots of a computer screen (print screen) are not acceptable. 2. The picture must include the entire screen and have your VGS user name within the picture on a piece of paper. Username can not be added digitally to the picture. 3. Type out your score in bold on your thread post. 4. Scores must be submitted within the posted time frame. 5. Do not submit scores from previous runs. 6. Use one post for your score. You can submit as many as you like by editing your original post. You can bump the thread to announce your new score. Rules: 1. NTSC only, no PAL. This will create a level playing field and not create differences based on timing. 2. OEM, FPGA, and clone consoles are OKAY. 3. Emulators are OKAY. Play game at 100% speed. 4. No save states allowed. 5. Flashcarts (i.e. Everdrive / Power Pak) are OKAY. 6. No turbo or slow motion controllers are allowed. 7. No game genie codes. 8. Do not use glitches in the game to boost your score. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Either @bertsampson has never beaten Punch Out or Mike Tyson has been lying to me all this time about never seeing finger speed like mine before. The Track & Field champion @BriGuy82 needs to get in here and give this a try! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded the ROM from the link in the original post and copied it to my SD card for my Everdrive, so you should be able to figure it out. I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 200 with those Track & Field scores you put up before. Edited June 7, 2020 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to borrow a card reader to load up the rom. Maybe I'll just buy one actually. Looks like they are pretty cheap on Amazon.

My Game Boy Everdrive and SNES FXPAK Pro both use Micro SD cards and I'm always forgetting where I put the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
