The investigation into the possibility of achieving a time of 5.51 in DRAGSTER on Atari 2600 Hardware continues...

Very exciting!

This should be a record in itself. I've never seen a time end in a 8 before.

Sorry I can't watch the video now - no wifi.

A 5.58 would be a record / impossible score - is he documenting a malfunction?

I could be totally wrong here, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I have zero expertise on dragster.

I could've sworn though I heard for example a 15.51 is impossible. Something about you do not always end in 1,4,7 becuase theres factions of a second that eventually add up so you eventually start cycling between 2,5,8 instead. Because his time was so slow is why he was on the 2,5,8 cycle, so not a malfunction.

again, admitting not an expert. i usually try to restrict my comments to stuff i'm sure on, but wanted to put this one out there.

Good memory - I found a thread on AtariAge where someone posted a 6.88 as well. So 6.88 = possible; 5.58 = impossible

I have to say that in all my runs ( and there have been thousands)
ive ever seen scores end in the 1,4,7
Although I can safely say I have seen a 9
when I let the time run out to 99.99

interesting

I'm just waiting when this kind investigation is done with every single dispute on the site. Afterall, they are all treated and taken care of in the same way......

At least nice to see something going on.
