Thanks for watching.

Hey Kernzy you could have scored more points on this you know as you only started with three men instead of the five you are allowed.
Yup. Also - not running at this game any more times during MGL? It's open for, like, two more weeks.
That being said I'd understand if you were done with this pile lol
This is one of the games that Walter Day was quite good at in the day. Make Trax, that is, which is the American licensed arcade boards by Williams. Same game.
I never knew. I only played a few games that I liked. The other games were pretty non entertaining to say the least.Quote:

How do I get the dips to stay changed? It keeps going back to 3 lives when I restart after 30 seconds of gameplay :D

As mentioned above, 5 lives are allowed for this track, although there is no issue using less if you choose. Bigger problem is that the "First Pattern" DIP is incorrectly set to "Easy" (should be "Hard") - going to have to vote no here.
I'm sure the easy/hard issue is the same problem you're having with the lives DIP reverting back to 3. There are 2 ways to make the DIP changes persist...the quickest one to explain is as follows:Quote:

3. Change the DIPs to match the rule set, then select "Reset" in this menu and hit enter - this will reset the game and .inp recording within your WolfMAME session, but now the DIP changes you made will persist.
4. If you want to end your run and make another attempt (restarting the game and the recording), you don't need to quit and restart WolfMAME - simply press the Tab key again, go back to the "Dip Switches" menu and hit enter, and this time just select "Reset" again.
The above method is how I create all my .inp recordings - this way, I only have to change the DIPs the first time I load up a game. You'd be surprised how quickly your fingers learn the Tab-Dip Switches-Reset keystrokes - since we all probably restart a lot when trying to set a score, you get a lot of practice doing this, and now I can restart a recording in about 2 seconds! :)
One thing I want to be clear on - the above steps will kill the recording you have going, and overwrite the .inp with a new one, so be careful! If you have a good run that you want to keep, make sure you close WolfMAME, and either move or rename the .inp you just created before restarting.
If you or anyone reading this has any problems or questions on doing this or anything else in WolfMAME (like working with game config files to permanently change the DIPs), feel free to message me and I'll do what I can to help you out...good luck!
Nice score, Paul! Accepted!
Thanks Jason, great tip!
I have already beaten this score by nearly 100,000 points.
