A question: I get into my mailbox daily this "MAME Action Replay forum daily summary". It doesn't seem to be very daily nowadays: A text file sized over 300K, including all messages since 2.2.2001.
Earlier it had one day messages only. Hotmail inbox size is about 1000k. Is it a bug, or a feature?

<p>

Secondly(don't laugh me outta here), a request for a new category:Track&Field marathon, only for parent romset: tkfld- marathon. Settings would be: after last event-game continues, bonus life-none. =default settings, except no bonus lives.

<p>

(No pause? Only keyboard/hotrod buttons used,no joystick,nomouse,nofriends pushing 110m?-insert your opinions)

<p>

Not for leaderboard points, but for the fun of it, for old times sake. It requires skill to play a long game, there is very small number of players who can do it nowadays. Could be interesting, then again, could be not

<p>

What do you think?

Obviously I`d agree ,as there`s only a few players still interested
in this game nowadays I think !

<p>

Game would have to recorded using TG MAME obviously...no pause.
Although for the moment i`d prefer the INCLUSION of joystick , as my
left hand fingers are rather ' un-fit '.

<p>

Like Tommi says...no leaderboard points , just for the fun of it (
and pain , if memory serves me correctly ).

<p>

Cheers,

With a no leaderboard provision, I wouldn't mind - if you don't mind
your averages going down... GB9

GB9 ,
I for one , aren`t worried about averages . So lets include this mode.
But insist on a TG Version , i.e no pause.

<p>

I once got 14m on this game without using the toilet , but with my
alcohol 'problem '...ahem....this should be a challenge of sorts

<p>

I`d say this motion is passed .But which version and when ? I believe
(?) the newer TG MAME version has some problems ?

<p>

Let me know as soon as you can , so I can whip Tommi`s ass...(
whoa..be careful that Gauntlet dosen`t hit you....

<p>

Later,

Hmm this sounds interesting.. Even if my best is only about 7 or 8
mil:=)

<p>

But I have no idea if I can find the motivation to go on for so
long.. but why not give it a try? :=)

<p>

Anyway it will be nice to se who will be the winner of you two!

but I love it!! And no , I don´t have two hotrods I borrowed a
friends Hotrod for the last month in the deca, and right now I have
no hotrod hehe.

Ouch! ;#
<p>

Yeps, TG version sounds good. I'm going to use buttons only, propably
after first try won't be able to play for a week...

<p>

Wouldn't mind competing for lb points too, after all, 100? points
will be *very* much earned from this one.

<p>

Now just someone add it AFAP!!
Thanks,

Hehe, I lost it 2mil later, at darn hammer... Would have gone to bed
anyway. Took around 3hours, I think. I was out of form, now in over-
form. I wonder how you felt next day after that 10 mil at arcade, not
that it would be less painful using joystick!?

Any progress here GB9 ?
I know your working those long hours , but can the ' marathon '
settings be applied to a ROM-Set ?

<p>

Cheers,

I can't split the games, Pat Laffaye, the regulation coordinator, has
that responsibility. If/When he splits it, I'll most likely have to
make it zero points through the python files. I'm not sure yet.

<p>

But to answer your question, I can't do anything in regards to
actually splitting the games. GB9
