Question

[ballas]

Are there any settings that should be made for MARP when submitting a recording? I play on TG settings. Will there be games that have been played on easy or medium setting as well together wth my score?

It's possible. At MARP you can submit recordings using either TG or DEFAULT settings. Either one is accepted, and nothing else. If a submitted score takes 1st place you must have used WolfMAME.

PL, thought more difficult settings always were allowed...but maybe not as sometimes that allows for higher potential scores.

good example here is Pole Position...but those scores remain.

Quoting from MARP Rules (You find them linked in homepage):

j) Recording submissions must be recorded with that particular ROMset's defaults or TG (Twin Galaxies) settings. A recording set at easier or different settings is subject to deletion, especially if it is higher than others at more difficult settings. Recording on TG settings, which are the official arcade game settings, is preferred, and will gain your scores further notice from your fellow players.

Anyway playing at different difficulties is not that nice, because it becomes harder for people to compare your inps with other's
Always prefer default or TG settings

Oh, well, rule n) is interesting too

Ok thanks. When more or less will MARP knockout start? I fell out in 1st round last year
Going fo 2nd round this year.

I just reread the rules and you are right....default or TG only...not even anything harder than TG....yet look at editor comments for some Pole Position scores. they comment higher difficulty for more cars and higher score was used...yet the scores weren't zeroed out.
