4450... that's three. changed.

... and the win34 cycle, which was mostly already done. win33 was done previously. that brings us up to the 'newer' winmames

win35 cycle is now also complete.

Both win36 and win37 are now fully audited, to the (near) best of my abilities. There were a few things I couldn't track down, and I haven't done a full sound check (or specific frameskip requests)--hopefully second auditor can do those. Anyway, it's a few thousand confirms, and only a few hundred l...

I imagine the MCU handles the coins, there is no sign of any real 'protection' in the driver except for it being very fussy about the coin latch. IOW it won't make any real difference to gameplay, unlike in some cases. ah. quite clearly my understanding of the MCU's function was not quite clear of ...

actually, my understanding is a bit fuzzy, because i thought MCUs were used to communicate between different processes--like a manager or moderator of sorts. i thought, and i could be wrong here, that they were often used to synthesize a 'protection' element with regular gameplay--but Barry knows be...

If I remember my comp. sci., it's basically a bridging microprocessor.

i'm #3... tried in versions m3237b9, b11, and b13. score zeroed, resurrecting a lower one underneath that is also unconfirmed. (lower one plays back fine; confirmed)

not a huge deal--player only submitted on one game... but he should be merged if possible.

ok, so after checking... i think i have this right one grouping is: slammast-tb is still archived -- needs to be unarchived slammast-sm is unarchived -- fine, but no-one has submitted scores for it slammastu-tb is not archived -- it's fine as is slammastu-sm is unarchived -- fine, but no one has sub...

i'm strike 3 on ROUGH's 21300 score.

I remember way back (.72 cycle) Luja mentioned that this game had gotten a settings change--that would be from Easy to Normal and bonus lives from 10/30 to 20/40--maybe other things. I also noticed in MAMEInfo that this game's MCU has now been properly decapped, but the changes are not yet in effect...

Muscle Bomber Duo is a sequel (of sorts) to Saturday Night Slam Masters / Muscle Bomber. Not exactly the same game, although with only 5 months between releases, it's not like they made massive changes. yes, but not my point. after reviewing Sportsdude's Muscle Bomber Duo, currently listed under 'S...

and am i totally missing sth, or does Muscle Bomber Duo and clones not even have a single match mode?

SNSM gives you the choice at the start... do you have to flip a dip in MBD, or is it even present? i don't have the .139 so can't check at the moment.

actually, i think there's a better debate here about whether the two game styles are fundamentally different enough to warrant a split... but i digress; not that important. thanks, Pat.
