Could the difficulty rule for The King of Dragons (World 910711) on MAME be updated to reflect the changes made in MAME over the years, please.

- 0.148u5: Andrew Gardner added QSound internal DSP ROM to the device. Added DSP16 (4MHz) CPU3. Sonikos fixed 'Difficulty' dipswitch which has in the tab menu values from 1 (easiest) to 8 (hardest) but in the game's menu it's from 0 to 7.

Difficulty options up to: 0.148u4: 1 (Easiest), 2, 3, 4 (Normal), 5, 6, 7, 8 (Hardest)
Difficulty options from : 0.148u5: 0 (Easiest), 1, 2, 3 (Normal), 4, 5, 6, 7 (Hardest)

The single player track has already been modified partially but the same "After" text applies to all three tracks.

One player track Before:

Difficulty: 3 [Normal]

Two player and three player Before:

Difficulty: 4 [Normal]

After:

Difficulty: 3 [Normal] - (Note: prior to 0.149 the difficulty setting was incorrectly labeled "4 (Normal)")

Thanks. :D

(Yep, another Capcom CPS1 game. )

Could the games for Samurai on MAME be updated to reflect changes in MAME history, please.

- 0.245: anonymous and SNESNESCUBE64 added Samurai (World). Note: Found on a Gremlin 'EXTENDED ROM VIDEO LOGIC ASSY NO 800-003' PCB with a '834-0118' sticker and a Sega 96718-P-A riser board. Everything on the board is dated 1979, but possibly the PCB was converted from something else, given the epr numbers are way bigger than the Japanese version ones [Osso]. Changed 'Samurai' to clone 'Samurai (Japan)'. Renamed (samurai) to (samuraij).

TG Game Entry: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/samurai/mame/
Rules, Points: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=110584

Could the game name be adjusted to "Samurai (Japan)" in order to distinguish it from the "Samurai (World)" which now exists.

For the rules, could the ROM set be updated:

Before:

ROMSet: Samurai

After:

ROM Set:
0.106-0.244: samurai - "Samurai"
0.245-0.255: samuraij - "Samurai (Japan)"

Thanks. :D

Could the game "Primal Rage (version 2.3)" on MAME be updated to reflect the changes in MAME history, please.

- 0.249: Guru added Primal Rage (version 2.3, newer build). Note: Still shows 'version 2.3' on the title screen but build is newer than the primrage set. Changed (version 2.3) to clone 'Primal Rage (version 2.3, older build)'. Renamed (primrage) to (primrageo).

0.106-0.248: primrage - "Primal Rage (version 2.3)"
0.249-0.255: primrageo - "Primal Rage (version 2.3, older build)"

Thanks. :D

I'm making the assumption that @Evan04 inteded the ktiger track to be limited to the one ROM set, so if Evan could chime in to confirm/correct my perspective on his track, please. So, on the assumption that the track should be a single ROM set...

Could the game "Kyukyoku Tiger (Japan)" be updated to reflect changes in MAME history, please.

- 0.249: Mikado Game Center Europe and Victor Fernandez added clone Kyukyoku Tiger (Japan, newer). Identified differences in Kyukyoku Tiger (Japan, newer) [sjy96525]. Changed description of clones (Japan) to 'Kyukyoku Tiger (Japan, 2 player alternate)' and (Japan, newer) to 'Kyukyoku Tiger (Japan, 2 player cooperative)'. Renamed (ktiger) to (ktigera).

Hi @Barthax

I wasn’t aware of the ROMSet changes, I thought it was only the “ktiger” romset

If the romset update could be added to the track you be great

Thanks :)

No worries - I've only just stumbled on the change myself (again?). :D If I have stumbled on it previously, I didn't realise the impact... :P

Could the game Scud Hammer on MAME be updated to reflect the changes in MAME's history, please.

- 0.250: SpinalFeyd added Scud Hammer (ver 1.4). Changed Scud Hammer to clone 'Scud Hammer (older version?)'. Renamed (scudhamm) to (scudhamma).

TG Game Entry: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/scud-hammer/mame/
Rules, Points: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=110601

I have a suspicion that the "older version?" will get renamed again at some point in the future so am not requesting the game name be changed at this time. However, the ROM rule should be updated.

Before:

ROMSet: ScudHamm

After:

ROM Set:
0.106-0.249: scudhamm - "Scud Hammer"
0.250-0.255: scudhamma - "Scud Hammer (older version?)"


Thanks. :D

A friend of who is a programmer for years, says deleting the Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills will solve.

He did a test to prove it and it worked. I guaranteed that it will after deleting Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills it has no records so @admin staff DEELTE Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills

You can clearly see in Twin Galaxies list of games that there is duplicate of the same Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills but NO SUPER BIKES 2 IN THE LIST PERIOD,

It will constantly go to Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills in the game listing but deleting it will solve the problem.'

Once gone it will search for Super Bikes 2 and it will be back in the Twin Galaxies list of games, then I can create the 28 FREE DERIVITIVE TRACKS for Most Bike Air Time and Most Tricks.

Question to you @Barthax lets test it, I know am right without question deleting the Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills the original Super Bikes 2 will reappear on the Twin Galaxies game list then I can add the 28free derivative tracks for 15 Most Bike air Time and 13 Most Bike Tricks

it is the problem.

No, that will not solve the problem you face. The "Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills" has _nothing_ to do with the "Super Bikes 2" as far as scoreboard functionality is concerned.

@admin staff

DELETE the duplicate track Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills it has no records, no need to have 2 tracks of the same.

Thank you

it is the problem.

I can assure you: your problem in this matter is largely your perspective/understanding. I see I cannot help you further in this matter & will leave it to TG staff, I tried. Take care.

4 Questions

1. What happen to Super Bikes 2 in the game list?

2. Why does it show 2 of the same Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills in the list in my reply?

3. What would it hurt if deleting Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills?

4. See what happens, when the track Super Bikes 2 by Raw Thrills deleted it is not needed in the first place and has no records it will only leave the original Super Bikes 2 with 25 records Fastest race times, a few Most Bike Air Time and Most Bike Tricks records.

It will work, after seeing my friend do it.

Thank you Andrew @Barthax for the help

Jjt how did your programmer friend test this ?

perhaps instead of making up lies everyone I’s smart enough to see through take the advice you were given

your call. You can repeat yourself forever and make up lies or you can make your free tracks

The truth is I don't know but I tried to hint one possibility earlier: I will speculate that your access to this was removed as part of a previous ban you received at the time concerning the track creation process.

Could the game Spiker on MAME be updated to reflect the recent changes in MAME , please. There's some entanglement in the history (detailed on the wiki) which ultimately for the scoreboard boils down one change in the history but I've included a suggested note to help avoid any confusion in the prior versions.

- 0.250: Changed clone (5/5/86) to 'Spiker (earliest?)' and 'Spiker' to clone 'Spiker (5/5/86)'. Renamed (spiker) to (spikera), (spiker3) to (spiker) and (spiker2) to (spikerb).

Before:

ROMSet: Spiker

After:

ROM Set:
0.106-0.249: spiker - "Spiker"
0.250-0.255: spikera - "Spiker (5/5/86)"
Note: spiker2 was also known as "Spiker (5/5/86)" from MAME 0.145 to 0.249. The spiker2 ROM set must not be used.

Thanks. :D

I money is on repeating himself forever considering he's been doing it since I joined back in 2015.

I’m pretty sure I remember something like this being the case.

But separately from that, if there is a duplicate game entry, it should be deleted or merged

Could the game "Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan)" on MAME be updated with the new changed in its history:

- 0.255: twistedsymphony added Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan, set 1). Changed 'Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan)' to clone 'Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan, set 2)'. Renamed (pbancho) to (pbanchoa).

Could the game name be adjusted to "Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan, set 2)", please.

Could the ROM rule be updated as follows:

Before:

ROMSet: PBancho

After:

ROM Set:
0.106-0.254: pbancho - "Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan)"
0.255 : pbanchoa - "Gyakuten!! Puzzle Bancho (Japan, set 2)"

Thanks. :D

Note: I believe this is the only scoreboard-affecting rename from MAME 0.255. Everything else is from earlier versions and there can only be so many of those. :)

It’s not exactly duplicate

he made minor rule tweaks each time with “this is the last charge it’s perfect now just let me do this “ (not word for word , quotes are so I can use first person but not exaggeration either )

The change that would help him and the community at large is to have drop for track include game name in it so as to make it alot more obvious and simple to find right track
