After reviewing this entire thread we wanted to offer some thoughts and some guidance to the matter or MAME submissions for the time being.
First and foremost:
For the near immediate future, Twin Galaxies is just trying to get everything back up and running as it was before the scoreboard went down. We have not added any new tracks, we have not changed any posted TGTS rules for any particular game or platform.
Under this circumstance, it would be logical to assume that the MAME submission rules that stood before, in terms of what versions of MAME players should use and etc., are still the recommended guidelines.
Please understand that the current scores in the TG MAME database were accepted according to those rules/standards and it would seem to be a logical approach for everyone to stick to those rules/standards if they would like to legitimately compete alongside those scores. Generally, you want things to be as "apples-to-apples" as possible if you really want to know if you are the better player....
