Must be played back at the same frameskip as recorded:

sia2650
tinv2650

These two do not play correctly at anything other than frameskip 0 anyway (shots will go through the invaders).

Encryption has to be done during recording for more security, i.e. you could stop mame before you escape and copy your cheated inp right before the alphamame encrypts your recording, besides i don't think will not buy ENOUGH cpu cycles to make a difference. Well, you lost me here. How do you exactl...

NVRAM = Non-Volatile Random Access Memory.

Basically, it's battery-backed up RAM, so that settings can be stored in it.

I assume current rule is anyone can make a poll about a trick. I'm right ? In this case does it means that 66% should be reached by your 1st choice for changing the rule ? can someone reply ? It could be usefull to understand clearly before voting. I editted my second post (third post of the thread...

I experinced 2 big discussion(if it is enough worth to be called). and reached an answer. I am aware of the two huge recent discussions regarding both Outrun and Camel Try and understand why it leads you to making this post. 1 try is stronger than 1000 see. 1 do is stronger than 1000 try. I agree t...

I believe all polls should be started only when an amount of discussion has been able to find what suitable choices there should be in the poll. [Edit:] I believe that the following are more gramatical versions of what your poll choices are: If enough informations supply,poll was standable only by w...

Two games that have trouble with frameskipping are Super Invader Attack (sia2650) and it's clone, The Invaders (tinv2650). These must be recorded and played at the same frameskip. If recorded at more than frameskip 0 then the game does not play properly anyway. :(

Without writting it out, I would like to echo LN2's words. I don't have access to (a stable) Windows at work (where I do get some time to play). I'd hate to get a difficult high score there & then have to come home & replay the whole just to upload without penalties. Roll on AlphaXMAME / Alp...

Sometimes scores are 'rolled over' to a new game. For example, with double dragon, if you complete the game with three men, you put a new coin in & start all over again, ad infinitum. At the end, you simply add up all the game's scores & that your 'new record'. I doubt this was how the games...

11th power of 10 = 10000000000
minus 10 = 9999999990 if I'm not mistaken.

Have you watched the mspacman-fast scores? I just confirmed the mspacmab-fast & got part way through the mspacman-fast before work got in the way. He is either extremely, precisely, talented or these are using slowdown. There are mistakes in them, but not enough to convince *me* that these were ...

Many thanks Tar. I recorded the 25K invad2ct inp at work with XMAME. I was compiling in the background at the time & wasn't getting a consistent 100% out of the game. The two lives left are because XMAME crashed (segmentation fault), so I didn't get to finish them off. I went home & started ...
