I assume we�re still talking about emulation speed generally since you asked about other emulators as in other platforms with EMU tracks. That�s a good question I shall search for rules.

I was comparing present day environment to back then in an effort to show how computer capacity had a more significant impact on one�s ability to compete and submit on MAME at one time. And I mentioned sometimes capacity is still an issue (like with this game). And the rule may be unenforceable bu

Well I did specify a PC that you could �buy today� not a decade ago. Is frameskip prohibited or not? At MARP and/or at TG? If so when did that prohibition occur and why? I want to be sure I have the proper understanding. Thanks.

TK2014 - This is going to be an essay but it�s best I put it on a permanent thread for a couple reasons: I often implore participants in TGSAP to discuss in good faith. I must admit that I have not always participated in submission thread discussions in good faith with you. What I mean is that I

I should clarify that *Back In The Day* is when computers were painfully wimpy compared to today�s personal computers. The issue of capacity still comes into play (as it does with this game) but Back Then it was a reasonable solution to have zero frameskip. I�m struggling to find the right words but

You can�t from the INP alone. This is a shortcoming of INP based evidence. Back in the day frameskip was easier to peg bc the INP would desync often if there were frames skipped. That�s the reason frameskip was outlawed if I understand correctly. It better ensured playback-ability. Some games have t

I�m talking about frameskip not recording speed. And the frameskip displayed may be the actual setting or it may not. The playback doesn�t prove that. That is what I�m saying

You should know, as an 850+ MARP recordholder, that this is just playback settings, and there is no way to determine if frameskip was used from the INP alone.

People are allowed to discuss their concerns here, be they borne out of misunderstanding or otherwise. Nobody is trying to make this submitter look like a cheater despite what he may think. It feels as though the submitter is attempting to intimidate the community into not discussing his submission.

Attached are the instances of the emulation speed dropping below 95% and these are only the ones visible in the video capture of the playback. I only examined the period of the playback of the actual gameplay - from start of race to finish line - as I would think anyone would be hard-pressed to crit

Remember TK2014 you didn�t even know how to check dip switch settings on the last MAME submission I commented on (how am I supposed to know there were extra life settings?). Let�s leave things like commenting on someone�s MAME expertise out of this, shall we? I will take a look at this INP once I

Anything that appears after FOR POTENTIALLY FASTER VERIFICATION is not the rules. It�s for potentially faster verification. No you didn�t know it was an extra ball, but you did know you had extra ball settings in v220 that weren�t present in the rule set. And you played on them anyway.

It was, but you didn�t use a version of WolfMAME that could be set the way the rules read. You used a version that has extra ball settings when the rules don�t say anything except Unknown: 0 which is - wait for it - the extra ball settings. The scoring is not the advantage. The extra attempt is

I agree that if the score was below 60k on this particular run then I would vote YES. That is because of the game play you mentioned where the first bonus threshold truly doesn�t matter on this run. And it would only matter if someone got down to their final ball between 10k and 20k in which case th

No they don�t have the advantage. You�re really reaching and the continues example is not a fair comparison here. And I�ll talk all I want because this is an adjudication discussion. I�m not just talking with you. I�m adding information to the adjudication. - If my game ends and I have an option to

Thought I addressed this before but I didn't - you had an extra attempt to score that you wouldn't have had if the settings were properly set. It does not matter that you failed to score with that extra ball. The advantage was realized when the ball was earned since this game ends when all balls are
