What is 'beginner mode'? It seems to make the first game a lot easier if you say 'yes' to the question.

The 'special rules' for Ultimate Tennis don't mention it.

It's possible to change dipswitches lots of times part way through a game, so using NVRAM wouldn't record what changed, and when. Keeping it in the .inp file means that every single change is recorded accurately. On the downside, last time I looked, every dipswitch position is stored in the .inp fil...

You can change whatever settings you like in a previous game and they will be remembered. Disabling the TAB key altogether when recording doesn't sound like a bad idea. Any settings which affect emulation (such as the dip switch settings) are stored in the inp, because MAME treats them as inputs, ju...

I've made the change. Now BBH has 795 points (of a possible 800)...

Hmmm. I see. There *is* a thread which makes it clear. And it should be 100-99-98-... (unless more than 100 players enter).

I'll change the scripts then.

I just wanted to put this clear in the open... Right now it's first place scoring 100 points, then second place scores 19 points. I thought it was 100-99-98-97... though it's a nice hybrid between the old and new scoring systems. ;) not that I personally care, but I think the rest of the players do...

i'll still have to email laga because i don't have the confirm link, either way this wasn't a bug, the tourney coordinator was the only one that could confirm tourney recordings. But what I'm saying is that I've fixed it, even though it wasn't a bug. You may need to reload the frame with the scores...

hey Coolaid--- i mean Zwaxy! [Watches Zwaxy come out of obscurity and through a brick wall with an Atari 2600 going "OH YEAH!"] That's not an Atari 2600, that's a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, playing Manic Miner. :o) The 'judges can't confirm' 'bug' is fixed now, but from what I can see, judges ...

And how is calculated the general ranking ? Francois The 1st place on each of the games gets 100 points. The rest of the places get points calculated as (NumberOfPlayersInTour - PlaceNumber + 1) - so at the moment, there are 8 players with recordings, so for each game, first place gets 100 points, ...

That doesn't matter. It's something like: you have to upload at least one recording on each of the games before the tournament ends. There's probably a rule to do with not hoarding all your recordings until the last 5 minutes and uploading them all at once, but there's no restriction (as far as I kn...

I have put the settings up on the T6 page for all but one of the games. The last one needs adding, but almost everything is there. More just-in-time coding from the mostly invisible MARP founder and Python hacker. Somebody will need to edit the news page around midnight to say that the tournament ha...
