A user on Twitter pointed out that the Marvel vs Capcom leaderboard for arcade has disappeared. I think it's due to the creation of the Marvel vs Capcom track on Arcade1up.

Here's the link to arcade:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/marvel-vs-capcom/arcade/points-tournament-settings/

The arcade track is empty, but it highlights "arcade1up" from the drop-down menu, but you can't toggle to arcade.

Here's the arcade leaderboard in the Wayback machine, under different hyperlink formatting

https://web.archive.org/web/20170806051511/https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=3341

I noticed in google there's a "live" link for Marvel vs Capcom for Arcade1up with incomplete hyperlink formatting, which points to Arcade1up:

Hi, I'd like to submit a MAME Nibbler marathon score but the zipped inp file (71MB) will not upload using the "Manage Attachments" section of the Performance Submission page. It is stated that the maximum file size for .zip is 85MB. No problems with anything else, just waiting to upload the zip before I submit. Thx :)

On Intellivision:

The Game is WHITE WATER:

On Game Level 7

It was set up as "fastest time" and "lowest is best"

It should be "Points Integer" and " Higher points are better"

Scoreboard Update Issue


A number of score disputes were accepted earlier today (roughly 6 hours ago). The results suggest that an issue I raised in another discussion (link below) has NOT been completely resolved:

Issue #1: Incomplete Processing of Accepted Score Disputes

There were 4 disputes targeting scores by Joe Jackmovich (who else?), where he has one or more OTHER scores in the Accepted Archive for the same track. In each case, the "next best" score should have replaced the disputed & removed item on the scoreboard. This MUST be an automatic part of the dispute process, and currently it is not.

Here are the 4 problematic items:

* * * * * * * *

Scoreboard Track

https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=131897

Disputed & Removed Score

iOS - Piano Tiles: Don't Tap the White Tile - Classic - 6x6 - 06.70 milliseconds - Joe Jackmovich

Replacement Score

PC - Computer Space (1971) - Saucer Attack Blowout! - 15 - Joe Jackmovich


* * * * * * * *

Please correct this problem at its source. A one-time-only, manually processed "fix" is not a viable solution.

This also happens for live submissions where the "best" submission from someone (usually a typo) gets rejected - the "lesser" score fails to become live on the scoreboard like https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/gran-turismo-6/playstation-3/license-tests-ia-3-fastest-time/ with Paul Kearns' submissions.

---------

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/columns/sega-genesis-sega-mega-drive/ntsc-points/page/1?ref=fbshare

Change title from "NTSC - Points" to "NTSC - Arcade Mode - Points"

---------

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/columns/sega-genesis-sega-mega-drive/pal-points/page/1?ref=fbshare

Change title from "PAL - Points" to "PAL - Arcade Mode - Points"

---------

This change helps distinguish the tracks from the Original and Flash mode tracks, which already correctly have the mode listed as part of the track title.


Also the game image for this game appears to be a screen shot from an emulator. It should be replaced with the correct box image for the game.

I was going through some old score submissions, and stumbled over Double Dragon for Arcade, 2nd place:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/184843-Arcade-Double-Dragon-Points-Single-Player-Only-381-960-Carsten-Lauridsen/page10

You can re-read pages 1-10, but thin there's no more pages??!! - I know I made an analyses with graphics to back up my point that this was a legit way of point pressing.

Now those pages seems to be lost, and it's really a shame because this score divided the waters...
Any info will be appreciated

- I remember writing Dave Hawksett, asking him to not conclude anything yet, as I was gathering evidence I wished to submit, before the submission votes was counted....

The "unknown Universal prototype" game is actually called "Heart Like A Wheel". Apparently programmer Jim Collas confirmed this was based on 20th Century Fox's movie by the same name (the prototype has an "H" on the EPROM label):

My bad as I sent the original submission to the wrong track.

FYI - here is a list of the dead Vzaar upload attempts from the recent Nibbler MAME submission (still in progress). Not sure if admin deletes these or leaves them be. I can't imagine how many terabytes of dead video video there is uploaded to Vzaar.

@admin staff , please fix the line breaks for the rules on this newly created track:

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/food-fight/arcade/easy-points-marathon

It should be represented as:

Special Rules: You may only choose from Levels 1 to 9. Use of the 255-lives glitch will disqualify your scoring attempt.
