Pier Solar: Official Thread

[QuickSciFi]

Do I sound like I'm kidding? Does it open the tray for me? I thought it had to be in the tray at boot time.

I was talking about the need for a megacart to boot-up a model 1 JP Mega CD. It sounds crazy. I didn't know that.

Oh. It's a American Sega CD, on a Japanese MegaDrive. They don't normally play together. The Megacart is the only way I can eject the disc as far as I know.

I usually just use the FM music though, I prefer it.

[QuickSciFi]

I prefer FM too. I started noticing that after playing through both versions of Mickey Mania on the Genesis and Sega CD. Although, now that I've ordered the OST for Pier Solar, I might want to play the game (haven't yet) with it.

You're in Florida, though. Aren't Model 1s a dime a dozen where you're at?

Yes, I have 3 American model 1's, but prefer the Japanese variant.

It's no batter or worse, if anything, maybe a little worse due to no RF shielding, but it's a Mega Drive. I love it.

evildragon: Go to the title screen options, select "detect disc" and the game will open the tray for you, like Joe Redifer said.

[makinagenesis]

sold out again already,

without doubt the most successful ( and best IMO) homebrew video game of all time, well done!

Ok. Well "Detect Disc" isn't exactly easy to figure out. Should say Eject or something.. I don't think that was even in the manual.

I am rather curious to know a ballpark estimate as to how many copies have sold at this point. Are we talking Hundreds? Thousands?

[makinagenesis]

overall, got to be pushing over 2000 IMO

WM will never tell us though, i like that mystique element

[eddiespruce]

I figure they've sold 10,000 or more by now.

Well, if I remember correctly someone mentioned the first run was 800 per region variation, so that's 2400 right there. Plus theres a couple hundred of the posterity edition.

So if that's correct that's pushing to 3000 right there without including any of the reprints.

[Damon Plus]

I estimate around 2600 originals+2000 reprints+2000 reprints again+ 1500 ENG/SPA/POR= 8000 units or so

[Christuserloeser]

3x 800 = 2400 was the initial print run, and that included the posterity editions (which were identical to the others aside of a sticker and the Size 16 magazine/hint book)

The reprints were 500 each so that's another 1500 if I am not mistaken.

[makinagenesis]

basically, nobody except WM have a fucking clue

[madmonkey]

btw, is there any differences between posterity and classic editions? aside from tiny sticker and insert inside? I'm not sure I should open my posterity edition to find out
