Hmmmm..

Sound works fine for me and it plays back with no problem.

I recorded one with -nosound and it will not playback for me.

Ironically, I remember control being problematic with this game in the arcade, as the trackball was ridiculously large and heavy.

You mean somebody could come on under a different login and use the same display name as me?

That sucks.

the other against good ol Mr. Gates (versus the stability of windows)? LOL, good one. But seriously, what would be the point in that? (This is the argument for banning the technique.) Actually, I do share some of your feelings on the subject..I really do. When I get around to writing them out fully...

Same here. Probably didn't delete NVRAM.

But how is he in 6th and 12th place on this game?

Something screwed up.

It ranks right up there with pterry hunting in Joust Ah memories.... It was just about 20 years ago I broke 10 million doing that. Once you get to the setup point for the leech, there is absolutely nothing to pose a threat aside from your own endurance As I pointed out earlier, it doesn't even requ...

I have played it for 10-12 hour runs..but always stopped then. I was aware of your high scores on MARP and was making a little joke. If you aren't familiar with Nibbler, check it out. It's one of the most demanding games around as far as concentration and number of moves per second and precision of...

the tech at gold mine replaced the keys (buttons with new ones that had a raised backside on them so one could not hammer the buttons We had found that if you took a pen or pocket-comb just the right length (some people had pieces of plastic cut specifically for this purpose), you could hold it bet...

Probably coincidence.

I'm sure there's no correlation between marathoning Nibbler, and psychopathic tendencies.

ehh? Games like Giga Wing have far beyond a billion. Ah well...I was being facetious anyway. I guess if you left your system like that firing for several years you might be able to reach that score. hehe Yeah, I was figuring two full days for one billion (unthrottled!) so I guess a trillion is infe...

What does the Saturn trick require? The ability to sit there and keep flying up and hammering away at the shoot button once you get into place. It's even easier than that actually. Once you get to the third stage, just get over to the right hand of the screen, then you can lean something against th...

Well, I tried to beat it but just did barely.

Attached is a recording for 144,900.

Yes, you get an extra man at 145,000. God hates me. What else is new...

No, XP.

John Cunningham's recording crashes with a violation error when he dies at 65,200. I didn't die at 65,200. I died at 21k and not again til 85k. It plays back all the way for me, even when I dl'ed back from the website to make sure it wasn't corrupted on upload. I'll attach my ini file in case any o...

Aren't inp's supposed to be upped within 48 hours or something?

no

OK, that was just for Tournaments...

I knew I saw it somewhere.

I'm not crazy.

Because that would create 4096 subdirectories in the inp directory.

This way it just has 16, and each of them has 16...and each of them has 16.

That's sort of the whole point of subdirectories.
