Except Track N Field

Tommi, I doubt that they would not allow joypad - most people don't have anything else heheh. Anyway, in the next few weeks (when Dad get's back off holiday) I'll have a replica TnF controller to mess with.

Can't wait to see your vid btw, will you make it available here?

Yeah heheh I noticed that... If you read the notes at the end he descibes the TnF challenge as a 'put up or shut up' challenge - so many claim to have 98k+ so he wants someone to do it. But I agree, it ain't gonna happen - unless someone does it on a machine rather than mame and they have high score...

Bounty (21) – “Track n Field” for arcade/MAME ROMset = “TRACKFLD” Challenge Rating – 7.5 (out of 5) Challenge – achieve a score of at least 98,000 points Rules and Settings – difficulty = 2 (Normal), starting lives = 2, bonus life = None, Game is OVER after last event Special Note (1) – due to the ...

Couple of points, both probably well known but hey... A quick google turns up a comment that KK had 'loads' of 98k+ scores - obviously well above his 'record' and he reckons his best one-round-only score was 101k. Itseems sensible to assume that as it was arcade, then high scores were present. This ...

There was a virus doing the rounds last week or so that attacked phpBB's - is that what you were referring to? Apparently, it puts something in place of the usual board front-end or something... Dunno

quick/stupid question

I'm unsure as to what the wlf file is supposed to do or show: If i try to run wlfview it says wlf file not found... where is it looking?

cheers

LOL I don't think a vote will result in NV being allowed

I'm 99% sure that 43 is best angle on javelin, but maybe it's easier to get 99.99 with 42?

It happens sp often it makes you paranoid about going for the line.. well it does me heheh,...

See your playin atlant tommi.. you're welcome to first place... it's so bad!!! you can't hear the speech and high jump it's hard to see the bar (and counting 9 feet doesn't work on high heights hehe

I would say inconsistent is the word of the day cos I've played lots of games today and times ranged from 8.15 and down. As I said above,sometimes there is a block which you have to alter your running spped to get past. In that inp there didn't seem to be one so I was up to 12xx quickly. I think, li...

I will see what I can do in the new year.. There's a couple of people at work with video phones that should be able to do the trick... I do agree about being 'bettered' by a non-conforming controller but it's all I have. I haven't played a real cab in a long time and doubt i'd be much faster than 7....

You should definately make a vid! I'd do one of me hunched over a ps2 controller like a cripple but I have no w\y to record anything

Getting very quick now tho......

It's funny you should mention leaf-switch buttons - that's the only thing putting me off buying or building a dedicated controller, cos I can't seem to find them anywhere... Some people got em off ebay but I've never been there at the right time. The gf won't go for a full cab (even tho a company he...

First, a great score Adrian! Ph33r U! Thanks :) Now 94,3k...Most of the improved score came from good hammer and 110m. You still have "easy" 500 points available for getting over 2.50 at high jump. After 95K any improvement should be hard. I agree, if I could guarantee a 98+m Javelin (on ...

I think you'll be proved right re reverse engineering being the only way but I live in hope or something heheh

That's not a bad idea on atlantol - i'd start on the 110 tho
