About this game
Raiden DX, released by Seibu Kaihatsu in 1994, is an enhanced rework built upon Raiden 2 and represents the most polished entry of the original Raiden arcade trilogy. It retains the full weapon roster from Raiden 2 and provides three distinct play modes: a short training stage for beginners, a 5‑stage normal campaign, and a challenging 9‑stage expert mode with remixed early levels plus four brand‑new space‑themed stages. Enemy formations and bullet density are completely rebalanced with numerous hidden high‑score secrets for speed‑run and score‑attack players. It was ported to PlayStation. The arcade ROM can be emulated with MAME and is essential for Raiden series fans.

Controls
These are the default keys. Every arcade board has a different number of buttons and means different things by them. The rows above are buttons 1–6 on the board: on Neo Geo boards (The King of Fighters and friends) A/B/C/D are buttons 1–4, Metal Slug uses only 1, 2 and 4 (shoot / jump / grenade), and Pac-Man uses none at all. Six-button fighters with three punches and three kicks (Street Fighter II and the like) get a different layout from the core: light punch U, medium punch I, heavy punch Q, light kick J, medium kick K, heavy kick E. Click the gamepad icon 🎮 in the player toolbar, then “Remap keys” to open the emulator’s own control settings (keyboard and gamepad, saved automatically). Gamepads are detected automatically. On phones you get on-screen buttons.
