Vertical Scrolling shooters to play on PS2?
I'm upgrading my MAME machine to a CPU that can play post-1986 games, and have discovered the wonder of many fine vertical shooters such as 1943, Armed Police Batrider (current fav), and Air Gallet.
I have the PS2 adapter for my X-Arcade control panel, and I thought it would be fun to play some games on a bigger display than the monitor in my cabinet.
Sooo..., please recommend me some vertical scrolling shooters that I can play on the PS2 (PS1 games included of course) if there even are any.

There's Shikigami No Shiro known as Mobile Light Force 2 in the USA I think and also Shikigami No Shiro 2. There's also a Strikers 1945 1 & 2 compiliation disc available in Japan too.

I knew you'd be the one to ask Pixy. Unfortunately, I don't have the time/money to the the chip thing. I'll have to stick to domestic releases.

Silpheed sucks, don't bother.
The translation of Mobile Light Force 2 is non-existent, but if you don't know they were there to begin with, I guess it wouldn't bother you. I thought Shikigami No Shiro is an overrated shooter series. It is not bad, just average IMO.
