T9 Bonus Game is Magical Crystals (World)

Post by Chad »

Mame name = t9-mgcrystl , who would have figured it would be shooter? Competetors have 24 hours to make a recording and 48 hours to submit it, and don't forget to submit recordings for all the other 8 games if you haven't. Have fun!

Hey, Magical Crystals rocks!!!
And it fitted perfectly for the bonus game IMO... fun and not very hard to get used to it.

BTW congratulations TRB for your record!
Was that (where you died) the last boss?

I agree completely! LOL!

Yes... the last boss. The 2nd formation (where I died) is hard and not so quick to kill... almost there in that 463,471 INP!

Whoa... I just tried the japanese version and it is even better!!!

I noticed a lot of graphic differences (more detailed) and the gameplay changes a bit too.

In this version if you keep the fire button pressed you can fire a more powerful shot. Very cool.

In the other message (T9 bonus 24 hour warning notice) you posted:
Chad wrote:...and up until the end of the tournament (00:00:00 May 30th) to submit it.
I am confused! I disagree with boths.. due the possibility to play after the deadline, changing cpu clock, like Mahlemiut said me at the #MARP.

What is the reason of this rule Chad? :roll:

PS.: (both the rules are almost the same)

for internet connection troubles i allowed recordings for the bonus game to be submited to marp before the tournament ends (sunday night, 48 hours from the start of saturday today) but the recording must still have been MADE (saturday) yesterday... hopefully that will clear things up.

if i'm not mistaken it looks like your 500k recording does not qualify because you recorded it after midnight GMT... ?

Ok...
I report here this 582,290 is my final score... however, for example... and if I play after the correct time, certainly I would earned a lot of advantage... this is the issue.

Well... all the MARPers are with good sportmanship... I wish ;)

Of course, we just await someone unscrupulous enough to record today, changing their system clock beforehand.

The best idea I've had so far is to have MAME just run a seperate thread that could check the MARP time while the player is playing, and record the MARP time when it gets it. A simple script could be written for MARP to return the current time. The main issue with anything like this, is that many players probably play offline, or on another PC that isn't connected to the internet. Basically, there is no way to be totally certain that the given times for an inp are correct unless there is an active net connection.

oh i see your 582k recording is ok since it was finished just before GMT midnight 11:35 to be exact (if your clock was set scrupulously :)

so why didn't you upload it when you finished the game?????
