So we have a submission date of 09/18/17, which matches the verification date on the score board, but verification method says referee, not TGSAP, and there is no link to the adjudication thread.

This sounds to me like the score did not get updated correctly on the score board when it was accepted. Which to me seems like a thing TG should just fix as a scoreboard error, and should not need to go through the dispute process.

I helped adjudicate Arcade - Donkey Kong 3 - Points [Marathon] - 3,538,000 - homerwannabee.

The problem I see is TGSAP not by referee that can be corrected by @admin staff. Mentioned by sdwyer in previous reply.

I am able to edit but not allowed to submit. I just wanted to add some clarity - Only 1 point per table can be earned.

Has this been fixed?

These other submissions should work fine now.

This problem seems to be occurring because the source file you are uploading is an unusual format. Somewhere between a quicktime and mp4 wrapper/header/container that is confusing the system. Not sure what you are compressing this content with (since sometimes you seem to be adding your logo up front, so I'm assuming you are manually compressing) but you may want to change how you are producing the final compressed version or make sure you run it through something that only outputs a video with standardized settings.

Please also make sure that the files you upload are named with their appropriate file extension, such as ".mp4" - I've noticed that some of the videos you are uploading do not contain this. It also seems that you may be uploading the raw camera capture file to TG - you may have less issues if you run your videos through Handbrake or some other compressor first before uploading to TG.

Bounty video for admin to look at to see if this helps in the fixing of the not being able to edit.

As a temporary fix, change BOUNTY AWARD TYPE to JUST FOR FUN, and hit next.

Then GO BACK, and put it back to SUBMISSION POINTS and see if that fixes the non-edit problem.

Meanwhile @admin staff will be taking a look.

Bounty award type is locked in, when I click on it it will only show submission points and no other option.

For Brutforc on MAME could the rules be updated with some clarification text please.

TG Game Entry: https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/brute-force/mame/
Rules, Points [1 Player Only]: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=24381
Rules, Points [2 Player Team]: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=24382
Rules, Points [3 Player Team]: https://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=24383

Could the horrendous-English rule "No Settings Can Be NOT Accessed At This Time" be removed, please.

Instead, please insert the text: "Configuration: 3 Players. Note: this is the default."

As you can see there's no configuration to make mention of really but as all INPs should have been defaults, a 3 Player configuration is the natural legacy choice.

Could the following text be altered also:

Before:

Note: due to recording+playback issues in more recent versions, Twin Galaxies continues to accept WolfMAME 0.78 recordings for this game. Gamers are advised to test playback with sound disabled in WolfMAME before submitting.

After:
Note: many older versions of MAME struggle to record and successfully playback this game. Please test the recording and playback facility of your MAME version before your earnest attempts.


Thanks. :D

Which adjudication thread are you trying to reply to?

Can you please post a screenshot of the message the site provides when it prevents you from responding?
