Thanks champ!

hey, i just specifically searched for this. the is the forum area. wall posts will get more attention. in the upper menu hit "wall feed" and your posts there will get more attention quicker, they'll also be forgotten quicker but for a quick answer thats the way to go. the forums are seen far more...

Hi everybody I tried searching for answers but didn’t have luck . I also apologize in advanced if I missed this . For arcade tracks you need to follow the rules of course and use original board but is an LCD monitor conversion ok? Also for machines like the retro Cade from team play that...

You can get official permission from the author or patent owner, but this does not apply to classic stories and expired patents.

Hi) I am a new user and I want to know about this book. Can you post a link to buy this book?

At least we still have the Wing Stop Challenge here at TG. Take that, 22yr old banana man.

Yea but they are trying to beat record setter now.

Its just a death spiral guys. Once the internet became the prolific thing it is today, Guinness records was on the way out. Anyone can find hundreds of sites and videos of all the human oddities and collections of records that are honestly even displayed and presented better now than Guinness ever...

Just on the topic of piracy on these legacy consoles I take issue with real quick: sure we could play old nes and snes games on wiiVC or switch, but if you want to play on original hardware (which most of us want to do) there really is no piracy at risk. Buying used games doesn't pay Nintendo, just...

Thank you! Hopefully Jace/Dave can clear up the rules and make them a bit more clear but other then that, we are good to go. Happy gaming all.

It was Kyle Nelson, and the game game was Battle Engine Aquila.

I wasnt gonna pigpile with ben on jason since admin decided it didnt cross the line, alot of us push things, and its been a long time But to claim it took the community a long time, no it didnt. you were caught almost immediately and instead of apologizing just gave the "um it was all a test...

And that's absolutely fine, it is your choice to vote or not on any given submission. I think you meant cross region, and yes that is a well known fact that some PAL games are slower than the NTSC version, nobody is arguing the opposite. That's why they are separated. My answer is...

You make excuses very well. It took a mere two or three days before someone reached out to you. Please don't justify an egregious misuse of the system and an intentional trap for adjudicators in the same thread that you're talking about integrity and penalties for voters. Thanks. I'm done here.

Yes and it took awhile for people to catch on even then and i made it so obvious. It's called frustration to get people to take note. But that said in retrospect, that was certainly definitely taking it far too seriously. But hey, when you are passionate about something sometimes you do dumb...

Remember when Jason intentionally submitted bad evidence to test us? Pepperidge Ben remembers.

Ok, i will explain as clear as i can. I said I don't know enough to know yes it does mess with a console playing like for like games or not. I'm not a programmer I'm fairly technically minded but this is beyond me and thus i said I don't know in that certain case if it would or not. But, it is...

You keep ignoring my question and just keep repeating the same thing about the posibilities of cheating. Plase answer this, if cheating can be done even using only original hardware by submitting a score to PAL while using NTSC hardware and software, what's your solution? to not allow direct...

Yes and I'm ok with that, if somebody finds differences in gameplay then the scores should be removed, otherwise I don't see a problem. If it was a normal, well known thing that every time you mod a console, it presents differences in gameplay, TG and other much bigger sites like...

Yes, he does but the community as a whole discusses the options. That said, if there has been a internal talk about it and that is the outcome then there is nothing more to be said. I was not aware of this and i respect their decision. I can't say I agree with it as I have shown issues with this...

i would point out i wasnt thrilled about this decision as in some ways it reminds me of when third party uploads were allowed. yes they were allowed but we were also warned we'd lose cred if they went missing, meaning voting "right" meant knowing the future and sure enough there are complaints now...

It's not a community desicion, Jace has the last word when it comes to this sort of things. 3 years ago Dave Hawksett said that after discussing it internally, it had been decided that modded consoles were ok. Ok so you agree that modding is not a problem if the correct rom is...

@ Yes my later test was on RRV and the same results occured. My first test was on PS1 and the original RR. I couldn't work out why the timer was fine between PS2 but not PS1 then i learn't that the PS2 and most later consoles use the BIOS timer to set in game time. PS1 though uses in game time as...

Because it's a community decision on what happens regarding this sort of thing, at least thats what i was told back when i originally brought up this issue way back in 2016 with all the evidence to prove it. I spoke to Jace personally about it. Perhaps Jace Hall can chime in as this may have...

I really hadn't picked up on your tests being the NTSC version of RRV running on a PAL console. I had always thought the PAL version of the game running on a PAL region console in 60Hz mode was your basis. Yeah, cross-region isn't original for consoles where there's a region lock. I would not...

I absolutely agree with you, I believe you have the best intentions but so do others that don't think like you. I have the best intentions for this site as well but I see nothing wrong with submitting scores on modded consoles. If you have proven that there are problems with all modded...

I agree and I will clarify I'm talking about tracks which are i guess you could call legacy tracks whereby TG stated (and i believe still do state) that original hardware and original software must be used but controllers i believe were per track rules. This is the rule set I've gone by but...

It's actually not, it's the same series granted but far from the same game but that's besides the point. I stand by that it certainly isn't a pissing contest at all but if you feel offended by me saying don't be cheap then we can just agree to disagree. If you are willing to put in the time to kick...

just a reminder with all this "should" talk, the beauty of track creation is we can all have our own opinions and have the tracks for what we want. a track where mods are allowed? cool you can have that. a track where things have to be completely oriiginal even if that means only 2 people can...

Yes, that's still just one game. I own every single original variation of Crazy Taxy out there, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Paystation, Xbox and PSP, all those count as one game. And last time when I said this, you said, "this isn't a pissing contest, blah, blah, blah". But you make it look like it is,...

Ok, let me clarify as you aren't understanding what i mean by original... Mod chipping a console for different regions, to play pirated games, third part firmware, running ROMs from a flash cart and many many other ways to play cross region hardware made for another region can lead to issues...

1 game? Erm, I had to invest and completely restore a Ridge Racer arcade cabinet as these aren't out in the wild anymore. I had to repair everything apart from the game board which cost about £800 + the cost of the cab in the first place... then i had to purchase a Ridge Racer 2 board set which was...

This is opinion and shouldn't even be brought into discussion as a context to what decisions we make today.

I dunno - replacing that laser in a PlayStation doesn't sound original to me... I hope you get my drift. Keeping it original doesn't even guarantee everything runs the same over time. Simple as that. So, keeping it original doesn't solve the problem.

This is already happening though.. Would i love to compete on DK arcade? hell yeah i would, Robotron? God yes! why don't i? because boards are rare and old. Same for Cosmic Avenger an arcade game that I'd love to try and get the WR for and I've been actively looking for years to find a board but...
