And now all games seem to work with hwstretch disabled. I had always had it enabled on my previous system, but as long as the same setting works for all...who cares. :D

Okay, I see in the game description at KLOV there is a "nuke" device I didn't know about...that's the other number on the screen. Doesn't seem extremely useful though. I guess it might work well against the little round things once they start jittering around, but I don't seem to have that...

I had a P2-450 on Windows 98 and just upgraded to a P4-2.4 Ghz running Windows XP too. :) (ok, so it's not exact, but close...) Damn close! Go to Control Panel, then Display. Go to Settings and then Click on Advanced. I had something here called "Intel Extreme Graphics", maybe it's on you...

New Computer - MAME issues

My old computer finally crapped out Friday night. Oh well..it was time for a new one anyway. I'm having some problems with MAME on the new machine that I didn't have on the old one. The previous one was a 400Mhz P2 running Windows 98, the new one is a 2.53 Ghz P4 with XP. It's sort of satisfying bei...

Looks like he's grabbing them.

And now if his poll is successful they'll be taken away?

A man of strong convictions, certainly.

I ordered the new 2100dpi version.

Will report when I get it whether it makes a difference in MAME or not.

Solar Quest(ions)

How do you start with five ships in this game?

Even if I set the DIP switch to "5" it still starts me out with four. Can't see how to do it in service mode either.

And what is that other number underneath the score? It starts out as 7 for me but I don't see what it relates to.

I thought the general rule was that warping is allowed as long as it's not dependent on the results of a previous game. (Like Millipede or Tempest) That would put Major Havoc in sort of a gray area as one only uses a single credit technically, but using information (codes) that are given in previous...

I think what makes it worse is that analog input overflow issue. I wish they would fix that. Amen. A little digging on the MAME forums and alt.games.mame convinced me that this was my problem on Centipede. Nothing the settings on my machine can do about it. I'd love to be able to play it on MAME. I...

Does it occur to anyone else that "Mshidden" might be some sort of pun?

So I take it a Special Rule doesn't require any sort of vote.

Just curious.

Thanks,

Special Rules for Snake Pit

I notice that a Special Rule was added for Snake Pit on July 10.

I saw the pre-poll discussion in this forum, but never saw a vote.

Is a vote necessary, if so "where" was it held?

why do you think sampras attached the file to his post? When I first read the post I thought he was wanting someone to take care of it for him. (As did Rick apparently) After your reply I figured that's what he was probably doing but didn't check to make sure. I was mainly explaining for the benefi...

one in particular who is very good at the game Turns out to be an understatement... I've never seen a case where the screen never ended without their being at least one non-pterodactyl enemy on the screen If there was anybody left, I sure didn't see them. Joust 2 never saw wide release back in 1986...

Sampras and Luja, Have you tried uploading from a URL instead of directly from your computer? To do this go here Sampras, now that you have the file here on the board (as Buttermaker suggested you could have used an old post) you should be able to use: http://forums.marpirc.net/download.php?id=98 as...
