Evidently the rules on this game should read "easy" rather than "hard" due to the updates in MAME versions, according to @Barthax and others. This discrepancy in the rules is holding up this submission from being adjudicated, has been there since last year.

This new user's first submission isnt showing up on the leaderboard

Leaderboard:

It doesnt even show up on his own profile:

His submission is one of those that doesnt show the track or rules or anything, guessing it has something to do with that.

Admin, if you could please delete all these from the "Proposed Leaderboards".
The creators have all asked that they be deleted. They were all accidently put on the 'SpeedRun' leaderboard when the creators meant them to be on different leaderboards.
Otherwise they will linger forever on the Proposed Leaderboards, or even worse make it on the leaderboard after someone donates points without reading the comments.

If the submitter could have the option to cancel the proposal, or if unfunded proposals could expire after a certain period of time, it sure would be helpful

Uploading images to feeds does not work. I get an error message saying "Something went wrong. Please try again."

It happens on my own feed as well. Links to images give the same result.

Just gonna highlight this one again: there was an incorrect edit to the rules in 2018 for Asuka & Asuka (Japan) which changed the ROM set from asuka to asukaj. All the MAME 0.106 legacy submissions were performed for the World version which was incorrectly labelled (at the time) as Japan. Hence the legacy submissions were Asuka & Asuka (World) submissions on ROM set asuka (which is still asuka). Please change the game name to "Asuka & Asuka (World)" and revert the ROM set to asuka, please. You may like to add the note that prior to MAME 0.116 this game was incorrectly labelled "Asuka & Asuka (Japan)".

During the development of 0.116, the correct Japan version was dumped and the existing Asuka was renamed to "Asuka & Asuka (World)" - this is the version all the legacy INPs on the scoreboard used.

- 0.115u4: Corrado Tomaselli added clone Asuka & Asuka (Japan). Changed parent description to 'Asuka & Asuka (World)'.
- 6th June 2007: Corrado Tomaselli dumped Asuka & Asuka (Japan). Original Japan PCB.

^ All legacy versions were actually running the (World) set of ROMs which were just incorrectly identified within MAME.

The scoreboard remained "Asuka & Asuka (Japan)" and referenced the asuka ROM set (Asuka & Asuka (World)) until until 2018 sometime (exact date shown on scoreboard) when the rules on the scoreboard were changed to asukaj.

There are now two sets of Japan ROMs:

- 0.237: Brian Troha and The Dumping Union added clone Asuka & Asuka (Japan, version 1). Renamed (asukaj) to (asukaja).

... neither of which were used by the legacy INP submissions.

This track has the submissions backwards, the shortest time is at the end instead of the beginning as it should be

Please delete this game entirely.

I was making a derivative track for Donkey Konga 2 (JP Version), and I accidentally created a whole new game with the derivative, when it should not have been created.

Something in the editing of the wiki page at https://www.twingalaxies.com/wiki_index.php?title=Game:MAME-History-T-ROM-sets&do=edit triggers a Cloudflare denial. The editing of individual sections of the page does not trigger the problem (but I was trying to adjust a title of a section which isn't possible while editing the section).

User erroneously created a track for this game when it already exists. Same issue Mathew Felix just reported a couple comments up but with a different track.
The user later realized this and submitted to the correct track, which has made the erroneous track unused and ready for deletion.

I would like to change the rules to this track for clarification.


https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/actionauts/atari-2600-vcs


Old Rules: Default Setting


New Rules: The score is determined by the number of attempts (Least Runs) it takes to complete all 12 levels. Manually counting the attempts is necessary since the game doesn’t display the score. The game ends after the first 12 levels are completed. The minimum score is 12.

One submission, two problems. I posted a score at https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthr...Team-Time-20-0 but forgot to include the additional participants.


1) After posting the submission, there's no method to add the additional participants. However, if I remember to add one, there is a way to keep adding more particpants.

2) Now that I've posted that submission, any attempt to post a new submission with the same base details but with the additional participants & I am informed that I'm posting a duplicate submission. Could you get the duplication check to also check if the additional participants are different, please.


3) (Perception). There doesn't seem to be a way to enforce additional participants for tracks
