Re: MAME 0.245 Game Changes

2 possible ideas: - Make it speed run only, and turn the time into a score - Penalize each death x 25000 - about 20-30 deaths, for maxing out score - about 20 deaths for speedrun This will cause people to play more carefully. Although it might still be possible to max out score. Haven't seen anyone ...

Re: MAME 0.245 Game Changes

Please consider changing the rules for marble madness 2.
or adding restrictions

Currently
- there is unlimited turbo
- also there are too many powerups (might want to limit their use)
- every 5000 points gives you 5 extra seconds, making it easy to finish

Re: windows

i think the original poster
is mistaken..

there is no switch..

basically they went back to
command line, which is the
XP 32 bit shell.. it's NOT DOS at all..

yes, there is pc emulation coming,
but that's a different story that
you already know about..

Re: playing older recordings in vista

you'll end up using DOSBOX to run mame, it should work.. dont' worry about the error message.. uhhh... if it''s asking for a DLL, then it's obviously not the DOS version of MAME... And the main OS for MAME has been Windows since 0.37b15. i guess what i meant, is that Vista/Xp don't run DOS natively...
