I belive this is recorded with a speed below the 90%.

This is, if I undestand TGmame correctly when it shows the recorded speed. After the recording has ended it says :

Average recorded speed : 86.752067%

ahh alpha mame makes confirmers and editors jobs alike so much easier, no educated detecting if a recording has been recorded at low speed or not. This recording (set in proverbial electronic stone) averaged 86% framerate which is below regulation standards. We proly have to come up with a concrete number to accept above, I think 95 is usually used in tournaments. Gameplay framerate looked liked it was in the low-low eighties, the scoreboard screens run at 100% and boost the frame rate a bit. No illegitimate pauses were recorded either which is good. Proly just a case of Wonder forgetting about the framerate recorded at and not turning off sound and autofs on. No biggie, zereoed and emailed. I'm sure he'll upload another one with speedier settings in no time.

Yes, I've 60 sec to gain for beat this score :)

Also, I'll post a threat in Regulation Play for the very lame leech in World 5 used by the top scorers.

Who will decide if the avarage framerate should be at least 95%? it would be great to have it in the rules.

Then we just need more people playing in TGMAME.

Thanks francois for the fast and polite reply. if only everyone was like you, who requested to record again, would be so acceptable and fair. More proof that people who don't respond to requests to record with tgmame are not very interested in fair play. The change it is a comming.

I'm sure that if we get an AlphaMame 32 version choice in the select version box, that more will use it :wink:

The only reason I haven't added it is because I'm now certain that MAME32 is nothing more than MAME with a GUI tacked on the end.

I've just started using AlphaMame 32 - 64 (BTW, thank you Barry), but none of my recordings give me any 'Average recorded speed' info after playback is over. How come?

That may be because if you use the gui there's no stdout "console" like with the cli to show an averaged report. I think you can use the mame32.exe with playback options "-playback ...etc" from a dos window and it'll show, but proly not from the gui.

That worked. However, its a little bit annoying for the DOS haters out there :)
