Hello Marp
I had more then one score for Racoon world.. First I used wolfmameplus106 game was really slow and hardly playable..
I went too wolfmame140 put up a couple of scores highest one was 938,000
Game played alot faster on wolfmame140 .. Those scores on wolfmame140 disappeared alittle while later. Then the wolfmameplus106 score was DQ for slow game play,no sound.
I game cleary states this when you load it in Wolfmameplus106
what happened too my other scores for this in Wolfmame140?
those should have not been removed and then dq'd the lower and slower game for that reason.
I look forward too hearing from you
thankyou for your time
bye from Simpsons99 Bea99

They were DQed for slowdown. You need an average speed of 90% or more to be legal for MARP, your Raccoon World INPs were not much more than 50% (22% for the one done in 0.106).
You should have recieved an e-mail for each DQ, though, explaining this.

The ones on wolfmame140 seemed too be at the right speed.. No i have never gotten a return e-mail or a e-mail for being DQ'D

It'd be easier to tell if it had sound... but you can always press F11 to show how fast MAME is running.

I just tryed too upload again my recording for this it sayings it has been posted before..
./inp/0/e/8/bea99_raccoon_938000_wolf140.zip already exists; did you upload it already?
theres some kind of problem with this since the 106 one got DQ'D Around the same time frame... I'm thinking this got DQ'D Or lost some where ...

Zipfiles are never deleted from the server, even after being DQed.
EDIT: you could at least attempt to name your INP files too, it's almost as annoying as overly descriptive, long INP filenames.

Yes, this INP would be DQed too, average speed is well below acceptable - 55.7%.

I have no clue on naming inp files.. I just make the zip folder and then put the inp in that zipped folder.
I'm really starting too dislike these newer versons of mame... You guys seem too be really picky about them.
This game should have not been DQ'D Seemed like the post was on a 392k score
This game has a 938k score. Nothing is said about this game or it's score in that listing .

Whenever a replay is deleted or DQed, the previous upload is listed in its place. So we have to look at that one also, to see if it is legal also.
I presume you're using record.bat to record with newer MAME version, the second parameter of which is the INP filename. eg: 'record raccoon raccoon_1' will record an INP of raccoon, to the file raccoon_1.inp (the extension is added for you). Seriously, it's not that difficult.
