Trial Xtreme / Stair Dismount
The following are Trial Xtreme tracks created under the game Stair Dismount by a stupid tired gamer (me):

Sorry I missed that detail - these can just be deleted, thank you. They already exist on the correct game.

Very much obliged for the other changes. :D

Platforms that are doubled in the database:

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - There are games in only one.

PlayStation Portable - Many games in one, and 8 games in the other. I checked: no repeated games in both.

This PSP gamename can be excluded. The correct name has "vs." instead of "&".
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game_det...&platformid=64
Snoopy & the Red Baron (PSP)

There's only 1 track, with 0 submissions:
NTSC/PAL - Dog Fight - Flying Aces - Pumpkin Patch - 15 Minutes [Points]

And this exact track already is in the correct gamename:
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game_det...&platformid=64
Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (PSP)
NTSC/PAL - Dog Fight - Flying Aces - Pumpkin Patch - 15 Minutes [Points]

This dispute is still showing up in the active score disputes even though all of his scores have been purged from the scoreboard.

NES - Formula 1 - Built to Win - Mexican GP

Two issues actually. The track is named incorrect. The track name is Mexico GP.
Also, Ryan Johnson has an impossible score. I believe it has to be a typo but I leave that up to you to decide. The game does not display any hundreths/thousandths digit in the timer. I believe this should either be 1:04.1 or removed.

Thanks.

We are aware of this and will fix. Thanks.

One of them is the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega (not a duplicate). The "Vega" is hidden from the description in the scoreboard listing.

Hey, do NOT exclude these 2 platforms!

According to Barthax note, one of them is "Sinclair ZX Spectrum VEGA" platform.
And I just figured out that the other PSP is "PlayStation Portable PSN" platform.

They're right, however it's necessary to edit the layout of many pages that hide the final part of the name, mainly in the Game List page ( https://www.twingalaxies.com/games.php ).

SNES, Final Fight / Final Fight Guy
https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=1985

The rules need an additional sentence to avoid confusion that reads something like:
"With these settings the player receives their first extra life at 100K and then every 200K thereafter."

What if the rules for this track looked more like this?

This track is measured by number of points

Single player only

Any character is allowed

Use of continues is not allowed

Use of codes is not allowed

Score can be submitted on either a Final Fight or Final Fight Guy cartridge (the only difference is list of playable characters)

You may use the options menu to increase the difficulty or change the button configuration

Game settings must be set to “200000 EVERY”, which awards an initial extra life at 100,000 points and an additional extra life every 200,000 points thereafter.

There is no setting which displays this fact, so it would change the current confusion to a different confusion. The game setting is for "200000 EVERY" but awards at 100K and every 200K thereafter.

Edited to reflect this - how does it look now?

Looks good to me. @Derek , @RaGe , @EVN , @The Evener , @bensweeneyonbass - any of you guys care to chime in on the proposed rules wording clarification for Final Fight / Final Fight Guy on SNES above?

That looks excellent, should eliminate the confusion once and for all

Any news with this ????

Hi @Barthax @Dave Hawksett @Derek @RaGe @EVN @The Evener @bensweeneyonbass

My suggestion is to add more details, because the Option Menu is different between both game versions.
In my opinion, the rule would be this:


To access "Option Mode", hold L and press START.
To enter "Options Mode" is NOT a requirement, because the default settings are allowed.
It's allowed to use default or harder difficulty (game level). If you use harder difficulty, it's required to show your Option Menu and follow these settings:


For FINAL FIGHT game, settings to be used:
- GAME LEVEL: "NORMAL", "HARD" or "EXPERT"
- PLAYER: "06"
- EXTEND: "200000 EVERY" (it means: 1st extra life at 100k, then 1 extra life at every 200,000 thereafter)


For FINAL FIGHT GUY game, settings to be used:
- DIFFICULTY--a: "04", "05", "06", "07" or "08"
- DIFFICULTY--b: "02", "03" or "04
- PLAYER "06"
- EXTEND "200000 EVERY" (it means: 1st extra life at 100,000 then 1 extra life at every 200,000 thereafter)


Other rules:
This track is measured by number of points (highest score).
Single player only.
Any character is allowed.
Use of continues is NOT allowed.
Use of codes is NOT allowed (except "Options Menu" code).

Thanks for leading the charge in clarifying the rules - looking forward to sending in a submission!

Sorry, I just commented on the earlier post without seeing this initially. I'm all for addition detail in order to avoid future confusion. Let me fire up the game in a little while to remind myself of the lay-out.
