I challenge anyone to beat Flipnic (Any%) with this button configuration: This configuration forces you to double flip and makes the board nudge upward everytime you press the circle button (so that you can't hold the button down for too long). Save files: drive.google.com/file/d/1ra5U...

is there anyone out there who has had a nightmare about a giant crab trying to eat you or am I the only one?
Why does the PS1 have a pink plus texture in the BIOS ROM? Considering the menu cursor is also pink, it's likely some unused variant/state of it. 9, 10 and 11 are for SoundScope (the music visualizer) save icon, so they aren't unused 2, 4 and 6 aren't displaying for some reason
I re-uploaded the Flipnic soundtrack video. The reason for the re-upload is because I discovered a way to make the songs not loop in the game, so I could actually play all the tracks without cutting out the end and I also wanted to fix wrong colors on menu textures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XI9...

I am posessing something sacred - Gran Turismo 4 Spec II mod with PAL soundtrack. I basically copy-pasted the files from bgm/uk dir. from the PAL version and repacked the Spec II ISO with them. This process is a bit difficult, so I'm planning on releasing a how-to guide to walk through the process.
Here's a reminder that old CRT TVs can emit a small dose of ionizing radiation. Even though the health risks are small, you should avoid continous and prolonged use, even if that CRT in question has become sentient and is your friend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3q4...

I managed to add a custom mission to Flipnic – Lane Count Mission 1 for Optics at Non-Stop Area. I copy-pasted the event function for Biology LCM 3 and did some changes so that it would with this lane. I also added a corresponding MISSION hexagon and a custom picture to the stage status screen.
idk how, but I somehow bugged the game in a way, where I completed the perfect bumper village mission before the regular bumper village in Optics also yes, I'm working on a mod that adds custom missions to Flipnic (any suggestions for what to add are welcome)
Cyan rings, but you can actually see them now (Flipnic) These are known as SKYBLUE in the event system and RING_A01GB in the gimmick system respectively
I decided to upload some behind-the-scenes! This is footage of me adding a custom video clip into a specific PlayStation 2 video game (you'll never guess which one lol). www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9kG...

Every segment of Optics stages in Flipnic: These are loaded/unloaded during gameplay depending on the camera used. You may also notice that the respawn point isn't always set to the specific segment itself and sometimes there's a secondary respawn (e.g. when you lose 2 balls in bumper area)
UPDATE: it wasn't an emulator bug. My code was generating interleaves that were 99.9% correct, resulting in the video freezing as the audio/video streams very slowly drifted apart. Adding a fix for this basically eliminated the freeze and the bad apple demo played all the way to the end!
Just to share my progress in adding custom FMVs to Flipnic, this is the closest attempt so far - no audio skips, but it soft-locks at a certain point. I haven't 100% ruled out that this could be an emulator glitch, so I'll test on physical hardware tomorrow and share the results with you.

what are they trying to say? "FLIPNIC is new experience from which, an ordinary flipper is completely different. Because, the field is very large. It is because those who are full of the whole with surprise and the mechanism and who play become crazy. ...
For some reason, Flipnic still has textures for the beta version of the pause menu in the MISSION\ folder. Here's what the pause menu looks like if I restore these textures: These textures shouldn't be there, since you can't open this menu from the stage status screen (which is what the fldr is 4).

Flipnic file tools 2.3 Beta 1 is out: github.com/MarkusMaal/F... This version can detect even more 3D models from LP4 files. Even if the program fails to parse the file format, it can at least find the 3D data by scanning the file and looking for certain patterns!
PAL version of Flipnic runs a bit slower than NTSC versions due to framerate difference. However, it is possible to compensate for this using the following cheat code (PCSX2 format): patch=1,EE,0022C390,word,3FAE147B Note: For PAL version only (the version that was published by Ubisoft)
