now that i've re-discovered my love for shooters and emulators, i'd like some recommendations for scrolling shooters that i've missed since 2000.

i like games like Ikaruga or raiden.

How typical of a halo player not to know what a shooter is.

I used to be much more into this genre than I am now but off the top of my head:

Dreamcast:

Border Down
Under Defeat
Zero Gunner 2 (highly recommended)
Castle of Shikigami 2
Psyvariar II

Playstation 2:

Gradius V
R-Type Final

Saturn:

Radiant Silvergun (predecessor to Ikaruga)
Salamander Deluxe Pack

That should keep you busy for a while. Check out the forums over at www.shmups.com where there is nothing but talk and hardcore fans of this genre.

whoosh.

Have you played Rez? It's available on the PS2 and as a download on Xbox live. It's a trippy space-type shooter with some rhythm elements mixed in. The soundtrack and your abilities change in realtime depending on your performance.

Pwnage.

Rez is a lot of fun. I still play it on my Dreamcast now and then.

There was a shooter for I think ps1 that was made by Square of all companies. I remember playing the demo of it on a ps underground disk years ago. It switched from side scrolling to other directions in 3d.

Try to find it.
