What shmups have an option for a high resolution mode (Arcade Mode)?

[ceti alpha]

I'm just curious about what games allow you to play with a higher screen resolution. This option can either be in the menu or can be a cheat/code.

I know this is in the TG forum, but I'm curious about either the PCE or TG. I just flipped a coin and picked the TG forum.

As per nat's request, I'm going to maintain a list here. I'll also list the codes next to the games as they are provided.

1943 KAI - Option available in "Options" menu

Burning Angels - Option in menu

Cyber Core - Enter the password "MAKIRIN"

Daisenpu - Hold I and power on the TurboGrafx.

Dragon Saber - Reset the game 30 times for hi-res arcade mode.

Dragon Spirit - Reset the game 57 times for hi-res arcade mode.

Final Soldier - At the title screen, while it says "Normal Mode", press:
Left, Left, I, Right, Right, II, Up, Down, Up, Down
A sound effect will ring as it enables the Stage Select trick, -there will be a purple number near the bottom of the screen.
Repeat the previous code - Left, Left, I, Right, Right, II, Up, Down, Up, Down
If input correctly, you'll hear that sound effect again.
Reset using Run + Select and the game will be running in the higher/"vertical" resolution.

Image Fight - Hold I when the "Irem"  logo gets displayed.

Nexzr - Option available in "Options" menu

Soldier Blade - Option available in "Options" menu

Steam Hearts - in arcade res by default, the margin is used for status & score display... (I guess the next question would be, is there a code to make the screen stretch?  )

Super Star Soldier - Hold down RUN+SELECT then power on the system. Release RUN+SELECT. In sequence enter L, II, U, II, R, II, D, II, L, I, U, I, R, I, D, I, (I+II)x8, (I+SELECT)x8.

Tatsujin - Option available in "Options" menu: the option screen is available by holding select and by pressing run on the title screen.

Toilet Kids - Press and Hold Select while you turn the machine on, at the title screen.

Twinbee - you need a multitap with 3 connections or more:
Press I, II, Right, Left, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up on controller three at the title screen. Select Vmode in options.

Re: PunkicCyborg's post - Here is another link to a compiled list of games with Arcade Mode and their respective codes:

Dragon Spirit
Dragon Saber
Soldier Blade
Image Fight
Nexzr
Cyber Core
Twinbee
Steam Hearts (in arcade res by default, the margin is used for status & score display)

Oh man there is more but I'm drawing a blank.

a legend says, dragon spirit has a tate mode. true?

I think what he's talking about is different than tate. Tate is just the option to run a vertical monitor. I think what he's talking about is where it basically just narrows the screen while retaining the horizontal layout. Burning Angles has this and I never use it because I simply cannot figure out what the use is. Tate on the other hand is a f*cking lifesaver and in VGA makes a game like Under Defeat (DC) or Ikaruga (DC) significantly more enjoyable.

[ceti alpha]

Cool. I guess I should have also suggested listing the codes the narrow screen mode if it's not directly accessible in the menu. 

[nat]

ceti, you should update your original post with contributions as they are made.

So Burning Angels has that mode too... I think Daisenpu does too now that I think about it.

yo..i know what a tate mode is. and it would've been very cool, if a pce game could manage this option years before saturn and psx did. so it wouldn't be just a "just"^^

ceti, don't forget these two. 

EDIT:

Dragon Spirit - Reset the game 57 times for hi-res arcade mode.
Dragon Saber - Reset the game 30 times for hi-res arcade mode.
Cyber-Core - Enter the password "MAKIRIN"
Nexzr - Option available in "Options" menu
Soldier Blade - Ditto

Resetting the game 57 times.  Who was the mad man who devised that code.

lol. Really though. To go out of your way and make the option available, but only if you reset the game 50 times is absurd.  I don't understand the reasoning behind this. Why not just make the option available in the menu? 

[Bonknuts]

Well- those game are running in mid res mode, not high res mode. Super Star Solder is another one where you can change the res by using the cheat to get into the options menu.

[nat]

You can do that in SSS? Really? I'm going to try that right now. What about Gunhed and Final Soldier?

EDIT: I just went into the hidden menu in SSS and the only options are "Sound test" and "Difficulty select." No arcade resolution mode.

[Joe Redifer]

Wouldn't increasing the res only anamorphically squish the screen, making everything skinnier?  It wouldn't redraw the sprites and the BGs to have more detail.

 There's another cheat code that puts you in the same screen, except you have stage select. It's in that version.

Detana Twin Bee!?!

for vert screen mode you need a multitap with 3 connections or more:
Press I, II, Right, Left, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up on controller three at the title screen. Select Vmode in options.
