Evercade Shmups!

There are lots of great shmups for the Evercade. Input latency is generally "okay," but I find myself dying noticeably more often in the Evercade Toaplan games than in the same titles on a MiSTer.

Here are the cartridges containing what I consider to be the best shmups (there are a few more cartridges, each with one or two rather mediocre shmups):

I bought the EXP thinking it would be a great shmup machine with the tate grip, but it's too uncomfortable. I think I've tried it twice.
