If you can’t afford the PS1 version, it’s also contained on the Gradius Collectionrelease for the PSP. Sadly, Gradius Gaiden‘ s limited release makes it a bit of a collector’s piece these days. Its action may be rooted in ’80s arcades, but its big, meaty explosions and background effects (including a nice-looking aurora borealis shimmer on level one) give it a glossy feel. It’s a superb game and one that takes great advantage of the PS1’s processing power. Released only in Japan, Gradius Gaiden saw Konami attempt to update the spaceship shooter template a little, with polygon graphics, additional weapons systems, and a greater variety of difficulty levels to court the less seasoned gamer. You’ll know all about the Gradius games if you’re into your retro 2D shooters, but the PlayStation-exclusive Gradius Gaiden is undoubtedly one of its most obscure entries. All the same, it’s colorful and lots of fun, particularly in two-player mode. It is not currently supported.Even at the time of its release in the late ’90s, YoYo’s Puzzle Park felt like a bit of a retro throwback to games like Rodland or Psycho Pigs UXB, which means it never got much of a release in the west. The Japanese version is missing some data files as they were compiled into its EXE.
If EUSECODE.FLX is ~420kb instead of ~550kb, it is probably v1.01 and you will need to apply the update first (to v1.21). Many CDs (including the image in the GOG release) contain older USECODE data which cannot be used directly at the moment.Older versions: If you have an older CD release, apply the 1.21 patch first using DosBox. On Windows, it's called game.gog - rename it to game.iso and open it.) Copy the FLICS and SOUND folders from the CD image part (On MacOS this is called D.iso and can be opened directly. Copy USECODE and STATIC directories from the installed part you can see inside the GOG game directory. GOG version: GOG versions have both updated "installed" files, and a CD image. Only the latest (v1.21) DOS data files can currently be used (Playstation and Sega Saturn are not supported). For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the user documentation.
