Dolphin Blue

[Haque]

A huge thank you to megavolt85! Thanks for the work you put in these awesome releases! I am having a blast with them!
Is there any way to support you? Through patreon or paypal or something?

On the topic of bugs, I'd like to confirm that I also get the stage 3 glitch with no enemies spawning, using a clone gdemu. Apart from that, the game feels 100% like on real hardware. I can confirm the slowdowns are normal, the game feels just the way I played it back then.

Thanks again, have a great evening!

My theory is that he accidentally converted a bad dump of the game... thats why its unplayable past mid stage 3 for everyone and the random slowdown even on real hardware.

The dump is proper, I compared it against the one used in the Naomi convert (which you can play until the end), data in track4 is a 100% match.


As to the slowdowns, they happen even on a real Atomiswave, the only place they don't occur is on emulators because they aren't accurate.

Could it possibly be due to free mode enable?
What if that can be changed to enter credits ?

No.. that wouldnt change anything

The track03.iso dump is incomplete.

There was a problem with the compilation.

bug at level 04.

Has this been verified? Someone said earlier that the dump was definitely complete, but you seem to be onto something here.

Can confirm the Stage 3 timer bug using USB-GDROM. One thing I am currently testing is if the stage continues scrolling infinitely (which it seems to do, as long as you continune) or if you can actually get to the end of the stage anyway, if you wait long enough and keep taking continues after the timer runs out... So far it's been running for around 15 minutes (with 4 continues already used) with no signs of it getting anywhere

In any case, the stages that can be played are SUPER fun, so I'm very greatful to have been able to sample this much of such an awesome game already!! Thank you so much to all involved that made this possible!!

@megavolt85 is there a way to choose the language? Dolphin Blue is one of the few, if not the only Atomiswave that is fully localized in to spanish and I'd like to play the game in my native language, the arcade version lets you choose between english, japanese and spanish, could it be posssible?

Arcade screenshots for reference.

It's not the only one. It's also the case with some of the other SNK Playmore games like Neogeo Battle Coliseum, The King of Fighters Neowave and The King of Fighters XI. They follow the same language trend of Neo Geo games. It's also possible to set it to Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden/Samurai Shodown VI but it does nothing. I suppose this is because the only Samurai Shodown game that was really translated (and not minimally/partially) was the first one.

Don't expect the same with all the other non-SNK Playmore Atomiswave games. Those are all mostly in Japanese, English, and some of them like Knights of Valour The Seven Spirits also in Chinese.
