What is the home button?
The Home button is only on APM2 panels or APM3 cabinets. Pressing it will exit the game in coin play or hold down for 3 seconds in free play.
Doesn't it originate as P1 up+down simultaneously?

APM2 is Up+Down per first player on each IO board.
APM3 is 2P Button 6 on each IO board.

This is definitely worth the price of admission. I've only had a few credits on Exa mode but it feels like a completely different game. Scoring feels like a mix of Progear and Futari Original. Its easy to pick up and will be a lot of fun figuring out the best places to maximise your score. Growing energy and bullet tennis are gone, which gives you fewer survival options and makes bosses in particular much harder.

Seems unlikely as the Exa Labels are based on Xbox 360 ports.

Having a port or not is irrelevant for us 8-) I have no response to the inquiry, but I wanted to mention that to clear up this misconception that we can or will only do CAVE games with existing ports.

The games that have 360 ports have higher res assets available. Can those be cooked up for something like Ibara?

There was a Mushi Futari Red Label (only 3 PCBs made, given out as prizes in a scoring competition). I am not aware of a Mushihimesama Red Label.

Only if CAVE kept the original higher res files and is willing to let an outside company like EXA use them.

Unlimited mode is pretty much AKLE for those who havent played it, very very subtle differences.

AKLEs red mode is whats missing i suppose but if you want that kind of extreme challenge the new progear mode seems to provide that and more..

Is that the mode when I press up with the joystick during character selection? If so it's fun and hard as hell.
