Space Ranger (Arcadia) - infinite leech

ar_sprg looks extremely broken scoring wise. Attached an inp that shows dumb infinite leeching (done with Wolf 0.242) http://mamedev.emulab.it/kale/fast/files/ar_sprg_500000.zip Note: current first place don't use aforementioned silly trick, but still do loads of leeching. http://replay.marpirc.net/...

Re: Astyanax infinite leech

I simply vote for not letting the blue will o wisp to appear, at all. If it does then your run is nil.

Re: New Leaderboard #1

LB doesn't work. Should be aggregated by genre buckets rather than arbitrary 1st places per romset, also each game should be weighted down if it has, say, 42 clones (kov2) #-o

Re: Archive these games -topic

Forgot to mention: normally the game upsides down with the score updated. Sometimes that score isn't even displayed, you get a black screen when TKO the opponent. There also a possibility that the score gets corrupted in stack and gives stupid high puntos. It's not something MARP should care about i...

This specific set needs to be starred, it's non-functional as of 0.218 (crashes on round 1) and there are chances that the real thing does it too cfr. https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=7575

Re: Toki poll - Second try.

I don't think this is the correct way to nix good plays of this. First place on this currently has 886k puntos, in a game where a random 1cc is ~250k. There are other metrics (lives, coins, remaining time in a single stage) that could be used instead. Of course it must be given credit to people that...

Re: Gals Panic / Fantasia etc

I've also been thinking about dividing your score by the number of times you complete a given stage with penalty screen, i.e. score / (penalties_completed + 1) That's more relaxing than just banning screen switches altogheter (things can go very hairy especially for the Korean ripoffs). And, since T...
