@admin staff

This track has been named wrongly by myself when setting up instead of starting TMC it should start TMX. Everything else about it is correct.

Certain Twin Galaxies members are harassing, NIT-PICKING me Juan Torres which borders on PETTY and TARGETED on a MINOR Typo MISTAKE in the Twin Galaxies Super Bikes 2 TRACK RULES 1,3 & 4 from the original Super Bikes 2 I made an honest mistake.

Rule 1. 1 player only & any car, any car
This was Type O minor mistake should be motorcycle

Rule 3. correct peripherals like a steering wheel, pedal, and gear stick are being used. This was a type O minor mistake.
Should be handlebar, throttle, hand brakes

Rule 4. Glitches, car simulators this was a type O mistake
Should be motorcycle simulators

#2 I made a minor typo o mistake rule 1 any car; rule 6 peripherals like steering wheel, pedals, stick shift should have been any motorcycle; peripherals like handlebar, throttle, hand brakes.

#3 Note: All 25 the Super Bikes 2 Twin Galaxies records in the scoreboard database along with the 11 in the submission que will be Disputed because of type o mistake. My humble apologies to Twin Galaxies members who voted.

#4 All 25 of my Super Bikes 2 Twin Galaxies world records for fastest race times, most bike airtimes, most bike tricks are legit, all good, an ok. No cheats, glitches, illegal codes, altering the games programming, glitch shortcuts were used, it was done on arcade racing game Super Bikes 2 cabinet without question.

#5 J.M -> **As a junior and new member to TG, (but not a new gamer under any definition or platform) it does bewilder me the near para-legal depths of interpretation that go into scrutinizing people's submissions. Yes, the submission and rules need to be fair, equitable and just, but there is a level of nit-picking which borders on petty and targeted. My 2c and no direct offence intended on any part. Thanks. J.M.

As has been mentioned to Juan multiple times now (and he actually acknowledged that he agreed with this), rule changes should not be happening once a submission has begun and voting has occurred especially when the "typo" actually shifts how people might vote...

if the rules call for a car and a motorcycle is used and someone votes no on the fact that a car was not used (regardless to whether it is a typo) and then mid-vote that word is changed, it undermines the entire TGSAP system.

I asked Twin Galaxies members to vote no on each of the 11 Super Bike 2 submissions in the Q.

Now it has been done, there you go,

I Juan Torres Honor and keep my word, that I said I would do it and I did. I take it like a real man and move forward.

Sorry that some of your past video game submissions in the past did not.

Merry Christmas and God bless you and your family and friends.

thank you for listening.

Looks like I named another track wrongly. This time the track should be a Green one rather than White, please could this be changed. Thanks

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness on Nintendo 64 has a track set up wrong.

NTSC - Pac Crackle Pop - Time Trial [Most Time Remaining]

https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/ms-pac-man-maze-madness/nintendo-64/ntsc-pac-crackle-pop-time-trial-most-time-remaining/

The ranking should be fixed so more time remaining is better.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/240637

I would like to add a special rule to a track I've founded a week ago. The reason is purely technical. I've founded Nintendo's Game &Watch "Green House" via MAME. I've submitted a game But for some reason the average recording speed of the game was about 80 percent instead of 100 (probably an emulating issue) .The speed issue was detected in the analysis of the inp-file.

Almighty Dreadlock suggested in the post to change the "Skip frame" value to 6 and that would bring the game to the original speed. He was right! I've played a test game ,changed the frame skipping value to 6 and the result was a perfect 100% average speed. I know that this is not acceptable under the MAME rules but this is not a MAME track but a Nintendo Game & Watch track! The game that I've submitted has passed the voting system (somehow..) here at TG and it stands alone in the leaderboard as a current TG record . BUT I'm not happy with it because it's not fair-I didn't play with the original game's speed. On the other hand- I DON'T want to open a dispute because members here would take a credit hit. The best thing is to add this rule that allows changing the frame skipping in order to reach the original speed and then I would submit a new game with the correct speed and my old game will automatically get vanish.

My submission is the only one in the leaderboard at the moment-so there's no concern of other submissions getting rejected or something like that


The rule I want to add:

Special Rule :Due to a known problem regarding the average recording speed- It is permissible to change the Frame Skipping value in order to reach the acceptable recording speed

Thank you so much

Cheers!

Hello @admin staff I really feel embarrassed having to ass for a correction to a track.

https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/240736-Arcade-Super-Bikes-2-Fastest-time-Las-Vegas

When I created this track, I didn't notice that the elapsed time also had a setting "Higher is better" or something like that. That setting is not visible when reviewing the track, only seems to be visible when creating. Can you change the setting for this track to be "lower is better".

Also, it would help if that appeared on the "review the track" page as well.

If you are a track founder, you should be able to edit the track as long as there are no score entries on the leaderboard.

Hello @admin staff

A few bugs with the hide your real name feature

---------

1. When you get notified if a score is accepted/rejected it displays their real name.

2. In the users accepted/rejected submissions it displays their real name

3. When a score is submitted it displays their real name

Thank you

When you go to submit a score, the rules come out with some hyperscript formatting which is rather ugly. I spent a lot of time formatting the rules to avoid this.
