TWIN GALAXIESDear Community,
Twin Galaxies is considering making an addition to the general rules surrounding MAME submissions.
For those that are interested, we ask that you please review the below wording and help us come to the best verbiage so that confusion is kept to a minimum!
The proposed rule addition is as follows -
MAME submissions not using Wolf MAME will be allowed if video of the complete performance is provided along with INP.
The video of the score performance must visibly show hands and controls throughout gameplay. It must also show start up of game launch.
Providing the MAME version # used and etc. all still apply just like a normal WolfMAME submission.
The rest of the MAME submission rules found here would still apply:
So the new MAME rules section top would read like this:
OFFICIAL MAME SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
For submissions using the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulation platform, Twin Galaxies only accepts submissions from versions of MAME that provide the ability to record "INP" files.
INP files are essentially a recording of all the input data that the MAME program receives from you during a play session, and this recording allows for your gameplay to be identically played back by others with MAME for examination in real time.
There are many versions of MAME that are available. Historically, Twin Galaxies has encouraged the use of a version called WolfMAME since it specifically contains limitations on some general MAME options that may be unfairly used by a player against the rules. Submissions using WolfMAME will tend to be more initially trusted - However, submitters are free to use whatever MAME version they would like as long as that submitters enter in the 3 digit version number of the version of MAME / WolfMAME that was used for the score performance.
MAME submissions not using Wolf MAME are only allowed if video of the complete performance is provided along with INP.
The video of the score performance must visibly show hands and controls throughout gameplay. It must also show start up of game launch.
--rest of MAME guidelines follow below with no further changes--
Please review this wording and suggest any changes or clarifications that you feel may help communicate the rules as best as possible!
