This will go to the news page when the FTP comes back up... this is about the 5th time it's done this now... it's getting quite frustrating personally... but at any rate:<p>

There is a new rule at MARP. As one usually knows, if a score is believed to use autofire and/or slowdown, the score becomes 0 and he'll have to resubmit without autofire/slowdown. The new rule is if the game can be recorded, currently, at MAME 35 TG 3, then you must use MAME 35 TG 3 in order to re-receive points for that game. This new rule is so the integrity of the recordings at MARP is increased. As a trade off, it will be the editor's responsibility to email the regulation coordinator, Pat Laffaye, and the person whose score was DQed. This we haven't done in days past, and we feel it should be the recorder's right to know that we zeroed out a score for good reason. {GB9}

I haven't found evidence yet that Gameboy knows how to joke
around. This rule makes sense to me... The affected people have
done something to lose some amount of trust in that particular game,
and if they legitimately made that score then they have nothing to
hide and can just as easily record in a tg3 version as any other. In
addition, I'm quite pleased that the editors will be taking on the
responsibility of mailing folks about disqualified scores. I myself
wouldn't want to have to find out about a zeroed score months later
by chance.

Since Mark finished off .37b9tg1, can we use that instead of .35tg3,
or should .37b9tg1 only be used for games in .36 and .37 up to b9
that were zeroed?

<p>

BTW, T6 better start soon. It'll give me an excuse to play, seeing
as how all sorts of good games made it in between .35 final and .37b9
(Space Harrier, Columns, ... uh, I can think of others when I get
home).
