The 'launch' sequence at the start of the game is also absent because the game uses level 5 as the first level(!) with level 1 appearing where level 5 would have done, this disrupts the flow of the game. For a start the iconic intro sequence is gone, the game just loops 2 attract demo levels and the high score table. Raiden 2 New is the better known title, but as a game it's been butchered beyond belief. The game seems intact, from what I can see level order is normal, because it uses EEPROM you have a settings menu instead of the dipswitch, but there's no real reason to want it over a regular Raiden DX due to the sound quality. The thing most people point about first about this board is the terrible bootleg quality sound, and it's true, the sound is awful, I'd say it's worse than most bootlegs! Anyway, starting with Raiden DX, it appears the game is mostly untouched, and the 'New' version is rarely mentioned, maybe because it doesn't carry the 'New' moniker at all, it can however be identified from the gold tinted screen fades, and logo. RAIDEN DX MAME ROM CODEThis board is curious, it contains the code for both the games mentioned above and decides which one to run based on a string at the start of the EEPROM (first it checks for 'RAIDEN' and refuses to boot if that isn't present, it then checks for II / DX). 20th September 2014: David Haywood - The other V33 based Seibu title using the 333 MCU is a Raiden DX / Raiden II New board. Changed description of clone (The Netherlands) to 'Raiden DX (Holland)'. Added destination base address for sprite DMA, fixes purple laser visibility in Raiden II/DX.
