1. Did Twin Galaxies do away the THANK THIS POST and LIKE?

2. Why does it not show Thank this Post and Like on Twin Galaxies members video game submissions threads?

It does not show THANK THIS POST or LIKE for Twin Galaxies members to check

It is a fact ok, for now on I will be putting it on the ERROR REPORT we cool. But the PROBLEM WAS clearly ON TWIN GALAXIES WEBSITE THE PHYSICALEVIDENCE IS THEIR PERIOD NO QUESTION THAT IT HAPPENED TO ME.

You can clearly see it here above:

It is TWIN GALAXIES WEBSITE FAULT NOT ME.

Usually, it is below the Submission message, and it was not there.

Why it happened that is on your end it is Twin Galaxies fault, website problems.

For now, on I will put it on REPORT ERROR.

Do not get mad at me on the errors that Twin Galaxies website is having.

SEE above there is no THANK THIS POST or LIKE

Could the rules for the game EDF on MAME be updated to reflect changes in MAME's history please. The Difficulty DIP switch was updated in MAME 0.106u3 as part of:

- 0.106u3: Massive dipswitch update to the Mega System 1 driver [Brian Troha, Guru, Yasuhiro Ogawa].

Thankfully the Service Mode makes comparison between versions easy.

Could the Difficulty rule be updated, please.

Before:

After:

Not really an error, more of a request and a feature that was around before this new adjudication layout. The old adjudication process had a link you could click on that would take you directly to the Leaderboard page associated with that specific score, typically right underneath the video or below the rules. Regardless, the specific track submitted to had a link that took you to the leaderboards. I liked that feature. Could that be something that is brought back? If it was a game you are interested in, it was kind of cool to see what scores they had beaten. Thanks

Could the game name for "Dynasty Wars [World]" on MAME be updated to reflect the changes in MAME over the years, please.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/dynasty-wars-world/mame/

Before:

Dynasty Wars [World]

After:

Dynasty Wars (USA, B-Board 89624B-?)

MAME History:

- 0.124u3: Changed description of 'Dynasty Wars (World)' to 'Dynasty Wars (US)'.
- 0.124u5: Corrado Tomaselli added clone Dynasty Wars (US set 2). Changed parent description to 'Dynasty Wars (US set 1)'.
- 0.139: Corrado Tomaselli dumped and added TK24B1.1A to Dynasty Wars. Changed description to 'Dynasty Wars (USA, set 1)' and clone (US set 2) to 'Dynasty Wars (USA, set 2)'.
- 0.139u1: Team CPS-1 replaced gfx rom 14.bin in clone Tenchi wo Kurau (Japan), it was a bad dump. Changed parent description to 'Dynasty Wars (USA, B-Board 89624B-?)' and clone (USA, set 2) to 'Dynasty Wars (USA, B-Board 88622B-3)'. Renamed (dynwaru) to (dynwara).

It has been settled for some time. Confirmation of the change from "World" to "US" back at 0.124 to 0.125 can be confirmed as an aesthetic change as there was no change in the ROM set:

The following submission needs some clarification in the rules or the rules need to be revised.

There is some discussion on the settings in this submission. They are a copy and paste ruleset of "factory default" but the manual doesn't really clarify what default is. Since we are not able to determine what the settings were or what default means we would like a revision to them.

I'm in favor of just allowing any settings. This allows people to compete on the game if they find it in a local arcade or bar and want to submit a score but don't have access to the machine settings to show what they are. If the game becomes more popular or competitive the best settings for the game will become obvious as to what is best to play on.

Rejected submissions are having the issue we had several days or weeks ago after an upgrade to the site.

They aren't populating the game, track, platform, or rules and maybe something else I just don't see or remember.

Here is a good idea on Twin Galaxies members video game submissions that have been in the que a long time or TG members are undecided on whether to vote either yes or no. Reason a lot of Twin Galaxies members do not want to take a 5% Credibility Point hit.

My idea-> 1. Show YES votes and NO votes totals. Then let the Twin Galaxies members vote, then the submission can take out of the submission QUE.

@admin staff I need you to add this below to both these tracks Biggest Jump (On one attempt) and Biggest Drift in one direction Twin Galaxies rules. There have been issues with these 2 tracks.

Here are the links to these 2 tracks:

Page 3 Twin Galaxies https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/fast-and-furious-super-cars-super-cars/arcade/page/3/

Here is what I like you to add to the current Twin Galaxies rules for Biggest Jump (On one attempt) and Biggest Drift in one direction.

The game programming for Fast and Furious Super Cars / Super Cars made by Raw Thrills owned by Eugene Jarvis

ADD: The game programming for Fast and Furious Super Cars / Super Cars the in-game timer has a thousandths place in the final results it does not show but it is there, either it will stay the same or change by .01. Please wait for the final results before voting.

Explanation here below:

I ask about the game why it does not show the .000 thousandth place they just did not put it in the games programming, but it is there, you can see it in the final results, that will sometimes be different than what was on the track but only shows only the hundredth .00 place, so it rounds off. Example .194 would be .19 no change in time but if it is .196 it will be .20 in the final results, sadly we the players do no see the thousandth place, but it is there.
Why the game programmers did not include the thousandth place, you would have to ask the game programmers.

Evidence of proof here below were the IN GAME TIMER either will roundoff higher or stay the same view it and see for yourselves Twin Galaxies members:

Arcade - Fast and Furious Super Cars / Super Cars - Biggest Jump (on one jump attempt) Shanghai - 02.02 Link to track Shanghai:https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/257561

End of jump at 1:09 on the video
2:01 note I have not jumped or moved just waited until the IN-GAME TIMER ran out.
Final results at 2:07 on the video Timed out, final results. Airtime is 2:02

@JJT_Defender The explanation provided is not relevant and makes your request unclear.

Are you asking for the rules to be changed, so that it is a requirement that all referenced air-time measurement is based only on the FINAL RESULTS display?

If so, are all scores on the proposed tracks that you want changed already measured by this exact standard?

We will not make a rule change that invalidates previous accepted scores on an already existing track.

Please clarify.

I'm working on something that will help in this matter, give me another 1/2 hour to respond.

Jace Hall thanked this post

I've never played the game and never will. However I can observe and figure out stuff and this is what I've figured out about the game so far. I'm doing this to save time for admin so they can do other important stuff. Or at least that is my goal.

Biggest Jump(on one jump attempt) can never be confirmed because of the faulty programming of sometimes using 100's and sometimes using 1000's digit. This is also considered air time. The results page only shows total air time, so we can't confirm that there wasn't multiple jumps that added .005 to a jump at any time.

Biggest Drift(in one direction) this can be confirmed in the results page but JJT didn't always wait for the game to show that information, or he didn't rank on the leader board so it didn't show up. Should be mandatory that the video show the results page for biggest drift moving forward so it can be confirmed.

Biggest Drift Chain - can be confirmed on the biggest drift chain if in top 10 scores of results page


Why JJT always says it rounds up but in this picture it didn't, so we can't trust the rounding up theory on any other type of score that has 100's or 1000's in the score.

JJT claimed the score of 15.7 and didn't question the race results page which showed 15.7 and not 15.71 if it would have rounded up the score.

Most tricks - can be confirmed by the most tricks results page.

Anyways I hope this helps, I'm not sure what I'm trying to get across or accomplish. I'm guessing that maybe the biggest jump on one attempt should be removed as it can never be confirmed only argued over what the amount of the jump was. All the other tracks seem like they are good. This is all just my opinion and what I have observed of the game.

If Admin would like me or someone else to do a much more thorough examination of this game just ask and I'll see if that is something I'm able to do or not.
