Hey @Darksoft - can we get the Menu updated on the Multi to support it?

 

[Darksoft]

Sure thing.

 

[Darksoft]

Is the game suppossed to be available only to Patreons or for everybody? I cant see a download link.

 

[ShootTheCore]

It's only for Patreon backers for now. I'll PM you.

Looks cool, my first thought was this would be awesome with a spinner…then I read the Patreon and found out it has spinner support! Though the spinner board hasn’t been produced yet

@Darksoft helped process the Hypernoid MAME files into Muti-compatible files and I’ve played it for the last hour. It’s definitely a well-executed homebrew title-it looks, sounds and plays great. Definitely recommended for any ball-and-paddle game fans.

Looks like a great game! Eager to play it.

This game looks really cool! I subbed yesterday and currently I am impatiently waiting for the Darksoft Multi release

Looks like a great game. Thanks for the heads up, and good work on getting it converted for the MultiMVS.

 

[DeWitt]

Booooyyyyzzz the waiting has an end! the version for the Darksoft multi is downloadable!!!

A big thank you for @ShootTheCore and @Darksoft for the conversion work

I played it around an hour or something (got lost in time) and I must say I relay like it! It’s not like any other Neo Geo title and it’s not eating your credits but it is fun an really polished. I recommend it

The MiSTer core has been updated to support spinners (and mouse) on games like Hypernoid.

I don't wanna be hated but, do we really needed an "arkanoid" on the neo geo? looks dull to me

 

[djsheep]

The more games on any defunct arcade platform or console the better…

It’s a pretty impressive piece of work and far from dull IMO.

Nothing wrong with paddle games.

I wonder how well it works with Brizzo's universal spinner board.

If you put the "@" sign before the username, you will ping that user and he'll know he was referenced.

As long as you can buy it as a download, I welcome any and all homebrew for the Neo. It had been overlooked by homebrew developers for too long.

Very fun game. I played several hours last night. Thanks for the tip.

That first boss is an a-hole!

The 2 after him were much more reasonable.

The developer explained that it's kinda the game he could make.

He was trying a more ambitious project, a clone of In the Hunt (which I would love to see finished), when he realized he wasn't up to completing it. He needed some more practice and to develop his skills more.

He had ahead already made a simple paddle game in the past, so he went back to what he knew how to do, but expanded it greatly.

Hypernoid was a learning experience and I would image will be a spring board for the developer to take on or complete more ambitious work.

The end result is a really polished and well playing game. I'm not a huge arkanoid/breakout fan but I'm a big fan of this game.

Edit: Corrected the name of the game the more ambitious project was/is based on.

On my Omega with virtual memory card, I saved my progress at level 33. I can start at level 33 now. I like this a lot.

On MiSTer when my game ended, it did not ask me to save. I have the memory card enabled and I use the memory card often.

Anyone have any experience using the MiSTer memory card functionality with this game?
