ROMset: dkong

Lives: 3

Bonus life: 7000

Note: Using older WolfMAME versions may result in slower overall times. Since TG technically allows all WolfMAME versions for competition, there will be no restriction here



Special rules:



1) Timer starts with the first movement of Jumpman at the beginning of the game.

2) The timer stops the instant the last rivet is pulled on 4-5. This is considered to be when Jumpman passes over the rivet and the rivet disappears

3) MUST be obtained on your first life. Any death will result in immediate disqualification

4) Can be part of any game, provided it adheres to the rules of this particular track

5) Only a 1 Player game using 1UP will be accepted



Accurate timings can be determined using frame advance while playing back the INP, and the refresh rate of the specific MAME version that was used.



Definition of a "start": Reaching Level 5 WITHOUT the loss of a life. As to maintain consistency, this track is a first-life only track.

Members of the adjudicating user base who assist the community in MAME INP file analysis have requested that submitters consider the below community recommendations -

Submitters should use MAME version 183 or higher, preferably 183 or 220.

Submitters should name their inp and zip file in the following manner:

xxx_yyy_score_zzz
