Re: Rod Land record on story 2 by Novice

Novice, Thank you very much for your explanation, I was wondering what the bug was that caused very high scores and am glad you have told us how it happens. I had never played the game before the Yolympics contest but enjoy it now. The best strategy seems to be to obtain a weapon that kills multiple...

Re: jcbritt - kong - 1001600

I played it back this morning and saw the same thing. Looks fine in wolf106, just needs to have the MAME version changed.

Phil Lamat - arkretrn - 118,770

Claims to be recorded with Wolf160 but .inp file says Wolf142. The roms changed, so I wasn't able to play back the file using 142.

Stephen Krogman - xybots0 - 191,200

Didn't play back at all for me, doesn't put a credit in so it's stuck in attract mode. Possibly due to rom changes? I'm running a relatively current set of roms.

Stephen M. Krogman - orbitron - 179,253

Plays back consistently to 58,468 for me. Not sure when it desyncs. A second credit is put in early and then playback just stops with lives remaining.

Stephen M. Krogman - narc - 408,900

I can't get this one to play back properly. Tried about a dozen different times and got different scores each time. Because of the manual machine reset that happens after first bootup, is there a consistent way to play these back?

Stephen Krogman - 3in1semi-hy - 301,420

Plays back to 302,420 for me. For anybody else playing this back, beware SemiCom's lack of high-score saving. This playback ends on stage 19 and after the last life is lost the score is no longer visible.

Re: Rule 2a

Right, there are situations where inserting coins gives other kinds of advantages. Gauntlet straight up gives you more health for each coin inserted, Double Dragon 3 allows you to buy new moves by inserting money, et cetera. But those are things that are obvious when used inside a recording and shou...

Re: Rule 2a

My interpretation is that it is B. I've confirmed numerous scores from players who, for whatever reason, put several credits in before playing their game. I'm not a particular fan of the practice as it opens up the idea of memory manipulation through the coin input, which is something that would not...

bombjackt - 5 lives or marathon?

Bomb Jack has a 5 lives rule, but this clone doesn't seem to so I'm looking for clarification. Saulonpb@TeamBrazil has a first place score of 4,588,320 but it looks like the score was edited down to be for five lives. The .inp actually plays out to 6,011,010. Since we already have 5 lives on the mai...
