.154 and early specifies the World, Analog Buttons rom. .155 and later specifies the World, Pneumatic Buttons rom. I'm not sure how one would even achieve playing with pneumatic buttons in MAME. I'm sure there's a way, but I think the renaming of the roms didn't get posted right on this one.

I'm not sure how to tell what the correct rom should be for .155 and beyond (whatever the World, Analog Buttons rom got renamed to), but if someone can point me to a resource that would give the different naming conventions, I can make a suggestion on what the correct rom should be for .155 and beyond.

:edit: I did some digging and testing in current MAME versions. I believe "sfan" in the rules should be replace with "sfw". sfw is Street FIghter (World, protected), and is the analog button version.

So, nobody cares that this track is calling for a rom that requires pneumatic (pressure sensitive) buttons for mame .155 and beyond? How would one even accomplish mapping pneumatic buttons in mame, assuming one actually had pneumatic buttons? Or maybe someone could tell me how to map standard pushbuttons to this version of the rom.

Chances are the ROM set was always the pneumatic buttons but the MAME devs have increased the accuracy of the implementation over time rather than the cludge (incorrect implementation) they used previously.

This is still an issue.

Popcorn in TRS80 CoCo game listing page shows there is one record.

Which was performed by JMB.

Nope, this rom wants pneumatic buttons mapped...somehow.

There's a 2 players option in this game, so the rules are inaccurate. Could you please edit them by adding a "Select 1 Player" line (or something like that)? Thanks in advance.

The following track should have been Elapsed time (lowest is best) instead of of Points Integer.

The following track (Rivera Country Club - Stroke - Front 9 [best score] ) and the derivative tracks should be "Points Integer - Lowest is best", but they were accidentally submitted as "highest is best" - please fix this if possible.

On the Fast & Furious Arcade track 'Golden Gate' I am listed at #7 with a time of 1:50.4
This is incorrect.
I should be listed at #5 with a time of 1:47.66
This can be confirmed by clicking the 'See All Submissions' button on that track.

All 10 scores appear on their respective scoreboards, but the submissions are currently sitting in the Accepted Disputes archive, where they clearly do not belong. That archive is intended for DISPUTES, not SUBMISSIONS.

The situation makes no sense.


Resolution

The 10 disputes listed above should have been accepted along with the 78 mass disputes submitted by @Admin Staff last week.

The 10 scores should be removed from the various leader boards.

The 10 submissions should be moved to the Not Accepted archive.

All necessary CR and SP adjustments should be applied.

On Rudy J Ferretti's profile page under 'Twin Galaxies Records' the very first entry is blank and has a broken link. The image for it is also broken. All thats there is a time of '11:57.0'

Please correct the following scores of mine.

Kabuki Quantum Fighter

NTSC (Fastest Completion)- 25:34.1 to 25:34


Sonic & Knuckles

Sonic (Fastest 100% Completion)- 56;23.3 to 56:23

SECOND REQUEST

Bumping this due to no response... its a quick delete of vacant track @admin staff , @SincerelyFranny

And while your at it, could you add the NTSC prefix in front of these twelve tracks? This will make the track titles uniform with the rest of the PS1 leaderboards. Thanks!

Score Disputes - Inconsistent Thread Titles


I have noticed that thread titles in the following forums are inconsistent:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/forumdi...rmance-Records

https://www.twingalaxies.com/forumdi...epted-Disputes

For discussions that span multiple pages, the formatting on page 1 differs from all other pages.


Example:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/235741


Format A - Page 1

Dispute: Patrick Stanley - Game Boy / Game Boy Color - Top Gear Pocket - Desert - Fastest Race - Player: Kyle Nelson - Patrick Stanley

Format B - Page 2

Dispute: Patrick Stanley - Game Boy / Game Boy Color - Top Gear Pocket - Desert - Fastest Race - Player: Kyle Nelson - Score: 03:21.87


Format A begins AND ends with the name of the person submitting the dispute, which is redundant.

Format B avoids the repetition and displays the score being disputed, which is more informative.

Might I request using Format B as the standard for ALL thread titles?

Greetings @admin staff ,

On the Fast & Furious Arcade track 'Golden Gate' I am incorrectly listed at Rank #7 with a time of 1:50.4 when I should be listed at Rank #5 with a time of 1:47.66
This can be confirmed by clicking the 'View All Submission' button and viewing the submission in there.
Here is the link to that track:

Fast & Furious Arcade has another problem; 'Mojave' is incorrectly listed a track for this game. That track does not exist in this game, only the sequels.
Here is the link to that track:

Yes, I observed that the processing of those 10 submissions & disputes completed last week on 09-16-2021 between 4:26 PM and 4:45 PM (EDT).

Thank you.
