Odd unnamed entry in ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC when ordering by Name Ascending. The picture is for Underwurlde but that game does exist separately on the scoreboard correctly.

The picture for the VIC-20 game Frogger '07 is incorrect (Xbox 360 Live photo is used): https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/frogger-07/commodore-vic-20

Nintendo Switch - Arcade Archives: STAR FORCE
Nintendo Switch - Arcade Archives: NINJA GAIDEN

I feel the rules are a bit complex and not properly formatted for both of these tracks. It would be easier to write in the rules like this:

When you start, choose "Hi-Score Mode" as this will start the game using the default settings without allowing things like pausing and save states. Your run automatically end either when you get a Game Over, or when you manage to complete the game.

The title of this track is misspelled. It should be "Bunnies like surprises" not "Bunnies like suprises"

I appreciate you adding the bit about choosing 'Hi-Score Mode' for Ninja Gaiden and Star Force on Switch, but you should delete the information above it, as pausing will end the game.

Was this changed already?

If not, can you please provide an acceptable image to replace it with?

The title of this game has two p's in the final word:

Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship


Corrected!

It's a "fastest completion" kind of track (no score in this game). Therefore "Score type" should be changed to "Elapsed time" (and "Ranking method" to "Lowest is the best"). Thanks!


All of the 'The Rocky Horror Show' tracks have been corrected.

Can you change the lives to 4 as Justin Emory found out that the game settings only allow 4 or 5 lives to start the game. You can see it in the capture picture at :44-45 on the video

Rules
ROMSet: Leprechn
Cabinet: Upright
Free Play: Off
Lives: 3
Bonus Life: 30000
Unknown: Off [All]
Special Rules: You can remain in a single stage for no more than sixty [60] seconds. Any longer then that and your score will be automatically disqualified.

Justin Emory -> Submission Message
I started playing this and I noticed the rules say 3 lives, but the dip switch settings are 4 or 5 lives only. I played on the 4 lives setting. According to this website there is only a 4 or 5 option, no 3 lives option.
http://www.arcaderestoration.com/gam...eprechaun.aspx
Am i doing something wrong, or does the number of lives rule need to be amended for this game?


The dipswitch settings can be seen around 0:41 and the run starts around 1:10.
Thanks,

There are WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to many scores (Long time scores) on that leaderboard for me to make this change off of a simple request.

I will need someone else to weigh in on it.

@Barthax - Could you lend your expertise?

Acknowledged. I don't have an answer but the way this should be interpretted is however 0.106 behaves as that is the final version that the rules were ratified for under the old TG. I'll check what I can. :)

Figured it out. Short answer: 4 lives. :)

0.106 has a Lives dip switch displayed value of 3 which gives 4 lives in-game. This typo in the DIP switch was fixed in 0.130u2 (which occurs after 0.130):

- 0.130u2: Tafoid adjusted clocks in Leprechaun based on info from the manual (M6502 CPU1 = 1MHz). Fixed incorrect 'Lives' dipswitch. Changed 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.

Snapshots from 0.106:

The rules, therefore some clarifying text should read something like:

For MAME versions up to and including 0.130, the Lives DIP switch is set to 3 (which yields 4 lives). For MAME versions 0.131 and after, the Lives DIP switch is set to 4 (which yields 4 lives).

It's been changed, thanks to the mystery identity. :D

I made a mistake creating a track for Nintendo Switch - Paper Mario: The Origami King. It's the only track for the game. The track was supposed to be titled; Shuriken Dojo - Most Points. Is this change possible or should create it again and have this one deleted?
