how about actively blocking non wolfmame scores?

[welby1]

I was under the impression(due to edited details close to 2 years ago) that I must use wolfmame or the recordings would be blocked...evidently not the case yet as there have been many recent uploads(beating wolfscores) using really old versions of winmame. Has there already been a ruling about this? I rarely visit the forums unless I get a topic reply notice. If this rule already exists, then if should be enforced. Ok, that's my rant. Night all.

Yes, you've lost first on sectrzon/seicross like that

thanks buttermaker; man that's a long thread. so then the end result is that its ok for ME to use the same version of old mame this guy used to take down my scores?...I'm gonna play some more w/w78, see if I can top it...if not, I'm gonna check win59 and see if it plays slower in that version...I know there are many games' that have been improved over time to more accurate emulation. I do have a lot of fun playing games here, which is why I asked. Thanks, Welby

Wolfie is preferred.

# 0.78u5: Added 'Difficulty', 'Bonus Life' and 'Invulnerability' dipswitches.
# 18th January 2004: Stefan Jokisch fixed DIPs in both Seicross and Radical Radial.

If dips have changed, maybe you can play using wolfie and those settings that were at earlier versions. Could be hard to tell though, if there were no difficulty settings before
