I replied to the Email Addy thread that might not have been a more noticable place to put this, so here's a new question for yah. About the TGMAME submital email address:
<p>

Will mark only look at submitals that are close to the world record
scores? Or is this a place where everyone can "test" to see if
they have recorded a tgmame recording properly, i.e. correct frame
rate and such?

<p>

Since the frame rate is encrypted (all-beit slopily! tg4mame
please!), users won't know if their frame rate is acceptable
(between 9X-100%) unless they have the decrypter, or someone is
willing to be a decrypter authority...

<p>

Was it implied that tgmame has this ability that you can see the
"recorded" frame rate when you play it back? I haven't found this
to be true and for security reasons this feature shouldn't exist on a per frame basis; so i think a test submital service or additional feature
of tgmame should be in place to feedback the "Average" framerate of a recording to users.

A terse reply from the busy Mark states "players will have to look at
the F11 screen" I.e. I think he means there won't be a decryption
available via program OR authority (except when you are competing in
a contest where the judges have the decryption algorithm.) And
you'll have to assume that the frame rate you see while playing is
going to be the frame rate recorded.
