I don't recall these numbers being used anywhere in the game

These look a bit like the numbers that were used in Feels life counter, but they seem a little different than the ones pictured in the magazine screens. The odd thing is, 0 and 1 are missing. as well as 8 and 9.

I just remembered (and wish I had a picture to go with this) that in the US manual, to demonstrate the password screen "DEX" is the example in the screenshot. I always wondered why they used that.

The scanner genie has granted your wish. Taken from page 12.

I don't recognise those either, and I've done a fair bit of work with Ristar's text.

Just a quick heads-up, I've managed to find where these are used - they're the Round Number displayed while on the "Valdi System" / "Next Area" screen:

(The Round number in the top-right, for those who haven't noticed. =P)

My suspicions were aroused while cataloguing the Nemesis compressed art in the 0701 proto; I found that these numbers were stored right next to the graphics for the Valdi System screen's HUD. Sure enough, when I checked the screen in-game, there they were, plain as day.

As for the reason why only the numbers 2-7 are present, there's only 7 Rounds in the game. The reason the number 1 is missing is that the text "Round-1" is stored as a part of the HUD graphics (located at 0008BE4A in the 0701 build). =P

So, mystery solved, I guess. = ) If I come across anything strange-looking, I'll be sure to post it.

EDIT: One interesting thing, actually - for some reason, the art for each Round's title cards is stored in the order: 1 (Neer), 2 (Leatow), 3 (Onaclove), 5 (Elykiki), 6 (Rewope), 4 (Neuos), 7 (Castle Greedy). = S Although they're numbered correctly in this build, could the odd order they're placed in hint at a slightly different Round order in a previous build, with Neuos being the 6th stage at one point? Just curious. =P

Also, awesome sauce that Ristar Cluster's back up. = ) Nice one, brayster.

BTW, a heads-up - the unused "Stage Select" text on your site appears to be left over from a feature that's active in at least the 0701 proto (haven't checked the others yet) - press C + Start while paused and you'll be taken to a black Round Select screen that uses identical text. Hope that's useful. = )
