Re: TMNT/TMHT boomerang leeching, how much is too much?

I don't think anybody has ever established a perfect limit of what is considered leeching and what is not. The technique is banned in general and that's about it, I guess until now leaving each case to discussion and personal judgement. i.m.o. if the player can advance and refuses to, even for a sho...

Re: WHO is admin here I can contact

Unfortunately only Zwaxy can solve this issue, who has been informed long time ago because you're not the only one in need of a password, and yet... :|

As much as this topic is already old, the matter is probably still persisting, isn't it.

Re: kbz3pa

But if it is better for you to ban me, do it. This way you will recover some first positions. I will create a new user again and I will return to make the best performances in the games that I dominate. Or not, i'll think about it. I repeat, it's not my fault what JT does, (in part yes, because of ...

Re: Space Ranger (Arcadia) - infinite leech

I'm a bit late but yeah, if the leeching strats are safe, not only adding a bug amount for level cleared could be added, but a specific mention in rules to not abuse of that, would be necessary. Haven't checked yet if you already did so I guess it'd require also to edit thus check all previous repla...

Re: Astyanax infinite leech

Oh well, it has been a while I didn't play or test the game but yeah, if the blue flame can appear when timer is not zero... then this is an easier choice. I'd agree with that.
How much consensus is needed to adopt a special rule? 🤔

Re: Astyanax infinite leech

Yay, forum works! I missed the sensation of seeing what I was typing. Thanks seymour! So unfortunate you didn't see any of the messages earlier. I agree that 1 life only is too extreme. Works for ARCA, but not for a leaderboard open to anyone. To meet both interests, we could use a special rule for ...

Roger. Wasn't sure just because, I wondered why this wasn't done in the past.

Re: Rolling Crash leeching spot

Yeah... it's an eternal leeching. I was throttling it at 2200%+ speed and still lasted a few minutes, I believe it was stopped intentionally (to get the counterstop). I would have a different approaching if it was finite leeching based on lives left, but this seems infinite. My suggestion would be t...

Re: Rolling Crash leeching spot

I gave an eye to the changes reported in mameinfo.dat, nothing seems extraordinary in the changes for this game, rather than a cpu speed adjustment but I heavily doubt that influences the behaviour of things. The driver had more emulation improvements but I don't think there is a genuinely good way ...

Re: Darius Gaiden Extra Version (dariusgx) modes

Alright, so, after playing nothing else than Darius Gaiden in MAME since who knows when, I legitly went for a 1P side run of this game and got a score of 15'178'440, that would definitely beat all the current 1P side runs on this leaderboard, but at the same time I'm not sure to be deleting the 2P ...

Re: kbz3pa

Sorry (not sorry), not buying it. I shouldn't even explain why... but I think there's the need to. First of all, the timing. We've been discussing this since December, records have been changed the days after TK spoke and that was the first reaction we saw. This whole excuse explained in the mail co...
