That's not exactly a PGM game. It runs on PGM hardware but it wasn't released for the system.
You might want to address the fact that the PGM carts of the Cave stuff is all bootleg regardless of it being on essentially the same hardware.

Maybe in your weirdest dreams
I had that one when I was into pgm stuff. It was a beautiful borefest of a game. It's like looking at a super sophisticated painting and then looking at a Picasso.
It's just gorgeous, but soul-less.

The original Cave games ran on PCBs that were essentially the PGM cart + mobo.
The Cave PGM carts floating around are all bootleg, but technically on the correct hardware so they play identical to the original PCBs.
The only "Cave" game actually released for the PGM is Bee Storm which was developed by IGS and is basically just a bunch of reused assets from previous games. But it fucking sucks.
There is also a version of Daioujou on PGM2.

Is there a Chinese/overseas equivalent? My old cave boots were sacs, but I have some of the 1st run Fluffy PCBs I need to solder up and burn the roms for.
If the fluffy boards are the only repros and the newer boots that sheep nova etc are selling are still converts, then I would say most are converts still. But if there was a mass run in CN of the 3 shooties in the last few years I wouldn't know.

For real bacon man why don't you create a single thread to publish your channel video updates?

PS2 got a port; plays fine, and is cheaper than the cart.

It’s because Martial Masters had to be the sac carts for the Cave shooties, that so many of us were up in arms about this 10 years ago.
Attrition is a mofo. Time grinds us all down, people care less and less.

Not ignored...didn't notice. I 100% would if I could edit titles past 30 days. But I do like to genre the posts and people seem to enjoy them
