1) Is there a way to type in a game like Galaga and it will list all the different ver., clones, and any game related to it. Another example would be like entering Pcaman and all games related to Pacman would come up to view scores for.
<p>

2) How do I change my email address once I come to the board to post a message. It has my old addy and I have to keep changing it.

<p>


Thanks in advance.

(1) Some of the site gurus may be able to help here. I think the
short answer is no, the search engine on MARP doesn't currently do
this. An indirect way is to run MAME with a command like

<p>

mame -listclones galaga

<p>

to get your clones listing and hand enter them on the MARP search
page.

<p>

(2) I think you need to ask server to 'expire your cookies'. When you
submit a board item look for a line at the bottom of your browser that
says

<p>

Note: if the default name/email above aren't correct, you can ask this
server to expire your cookies.

Well you can't do it directly - not yet - but what you can do is
type "galaga" in the short name box, and it will list all games that
have the name "galaga" in it. So it would show you galaga, galaga3,
etc.

<p>

What will help you here is if you put your mouse over the screenshot,
that link is intended to show you hits of the game AND it's clones -
although it shows you no hits at the point(and I believe we're trying
to fix that), you can do some searching(unfortunatly more than one)
to see all the scores of each game and they're clones.

<p>

Tim is correct with question 2, you'll want to expire your cookies
(which is at the bottom of the window for typing your messages) and
recreate it after you submit another board item. Let the emailing of
recipients go through and then it will ask you to create a cookie(or
maybe that's before it does that...)

<p>

Hopefully this will help you Steve - and welcome back to MARP

Thanks guys. It's nice to feel welcomed back. I brought the first
question up because being that I've been away for so long, I did see
at one point there was Galaga clones that played exactly like Galaga
but weren't called Galaga. Basically another name but the same
gameplay. Another good example is to be able to see all the Arkanoid
related games that come up other then Arkanoid it self (arkanoid,
arkanoid-revenge of DOH, and arkanoid tournement edtion. Wait, this
isn't emulated yet?

<p>

I'll try reseting my cookies tonight after I dip a couple in my
milk.

<p>

Thanks again,

<p>
