Why don't update Raiden III with Wallpaper for 16:9 screen

Just like the Raiden IV Overkill

Too much work, especially when pretty much everyone regards IV as a "strictly better" game. Might as well spend the effort on the game people are actually going to play.

There's also some context missing from this. The PlayStation 2 port of Raiden III, which the PC version is based on, was made in an era when 16:9 was something you joked about. It was made by Moss themselves, and noone else involved with them really wanted to change what they made.

That's how it is with OverKill. This was a Moss-developed PS3 port of Raiden IV that they just wanted to do, much like the original 360 port of IV. Now that exact PS3 port is coming to PC, and the publishers don't really want to mess with what Moss has done.

PLZ plz get 'raiden fighters jet' on steam , i'd buy that .... looks like i'll have to resort to MAME again

I still have raiden legacy from GOG

[SendMoreCops]

Raiden Legacy on GOG is a joke of a release. Terrible port(?). The emulated way of running Raiden Fighters game is the best option there.

I am pretty sure there is a way to Raiden III with wallpaper but it requires some effort. There is an application called RocketLauncher (previously HyperLaunch). It can do all sorts of things for emulators but also for regular PC games. Including adding bezels.

They DO make "Raiden Fighters Aces" for Xbox 360. I have that. It contains the Raiden Fighters Trilogy. I'd suggest that. Don't be trolling on a store forum and tell people to do illegal things, or that you're going to go against the publisher of this very fine game.

Fighters Aces on 360 is great. Problem is it's not PAL. It's tough enough to find online and expensive and (for non-US) requires a ♥♥♥/US 360. Pity that the GOG version isn't better.

i feel your pain..
i had the PAL version on pre order for ages and ages.. on the 360 (i think a good year after it had been released in the US) and eventually it got cancelled as they decided not to release it.. grrr!
was a shame it was a region-locked game, even though i knew it was pretty "bare-bones"

I had the same problem. Had it pre-ordered and about a year after I gave up on it. I did have a ♥♥♥ 360 at one stage and a copy of the game but sold it a couple of years back.

i think it's a emulated version even on GOG. Some old games i still play. Daytona USA is a example, but because SEGA don't release the Remastered version from PSN/XBL for Steam.
