Attn mods - forum account activation requested

Not for me, but for nii-san (who recently submitted an excellent 231k Galaxian score on MARP, and probably has more to come !).

Let me know who I should PM his email address to (unless you already have it somehow in queue).

Thanks, --alessandro

Re: MARP Election 2008 - Voting Has Begin!

Okay, I'll go first - hoping I understood that we have to vote here :)

Editors - yes to all =D>

Knockout coordinator - Destructor

Reason: I'd like Pat to have his hands free while the Italian assault to the Frogger top spots continues :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone and keep up the good work.

Re: Frogger vehicle-speed analysis - is there any info ?

Blitz Frogger is a totally different game. :P Don Hayes holds the record for most points within exactly 1 hour -- 216990 that's under 28 min for every 100K!! And in my recent submission I trounced the above - I clock in 235330 at the hour 8) Told ya guys - you're damn accurate but fairly slow :mrgr...

Re: Frogger vehicle-speed analysis - is there any info ?

Don Hayes holds the record for most points within exactly 1 hour -- 216990 that's under 28 min for every 100K!! My high score for round 1 is 4850. The default high score of 4630 is the best the programmers/testers could do. Unearthing this thread after a while, as I played a dozen games in these la...

Woohoo !

Re: K7 - Round 1 - Part 2 - View Point (viewpoin)

Wow. I just watched mickey@jvrm.net 355680 inp, it's basically a single-ship score; he dies once, gets stripped of the satellites and barrier, and the game whoops his ass four times in a wink. And he ends first stage which appears to be played with full confidence well below 61K. Well, the good news...

Re: evosocc

Desyncs early in the 2nd match - at least judging from gameplay in the first one...
both using xwolfmame 0.104 and wolfmameplus 0.106 under wine.

Re: Attn: Udirnel re: Crazy Climber

Thanks ! I thought I also understood the tendency to climb on the right... but one thing is making guesses, another is to hear from the voice of the experts. I might play a bit with the game in the near future :mrgreen:

Re: Attn: Udirnel re: Crazy Climber

Watching it again it looks like at least in a few points the pauses are due to getting either a good position or a clear path before the rain of objects starts again... but in others it is already raining cats and dogs. I took note however of the following points: 1) 152800 2) 266850 3) 317550 4) 37...

Re: Attn: Udirnel re: Crazy Climber

I'm amazed to know that you use keys Udirnel :!: =D> I believe you could absolutely do far better with a dual-joystick setup (I use the Tankstick and find it very close to the actual arcade experience - though I lack the skill you have). Also watched KUB's 727k .inp, indeed a VERY fast climber... ev...

Re: robocop

I can also play back the 9897200 robocopj, always with xwolfmame 0.104 under Fedora 9.

Using wolf106 under Wine, it fails for me as well - the player dies in this game at the end of the 2nd stage, with the armored van coming in.

Re: robocop

I just played back _successfully_ the 9913700 robocop inp using xwolfmame 0.104 with the 0.106 rom; he completes in 32m35s... I F10'd a bit because there are apparently places in the game where you don't do anything and points get racked up ?
