TGSAP is failing Twin Galaxies
I'm losing all faith in TGSAP as a suitable answer to employing referee's I'm sorry to say. Something had to change, but surely we still need basic guidelines - and if a submission doesn't follow that - then it is an "easy no" or is an "easy remove" when it is disputed.
I'm sure everyone knows about my outspoked thoughts on scores done at Funspot being accepted without showing PCB's - but I'll rehash....
Arcade games - you must show the original PCB, or just don't bother.
Console games - you must show the original console and game disc/cart, or just don't bother
I'm sure I've done the wrong thing on some xbox submissions - and I'll happily stick up my hand and have my scores removed if I didn't do the right thing.It seems to me like people are putting their credibility and submission points ahead of making sure games are played on legitimate machines, be they arcade, console or whatever.
Not that I've been around a lot lately, but here is the latest one I've commented on: https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/200634-Sega-Dreamcast-Metropolis-Street-Racer-NTSC-Tokyo-Shibuya-Medium-Marui-Kousaten-Minami-Fastest-Lap-25-899-Daniel-Ocampo
This is console, it is direct capture - yeah fine, great game capture, but there is no way of knowing if this is an original console or emulation - or is it that we as a community just don't care anymore?
I'm past the point of give 2 s*%ts about my credibility or submission points - if the community won't be serious about proving they are playing on the correct hardware, then I'll take the hit. TG's credibility is the main thing at stake here - and we as a community are making a mockery of something we all should care much more about.
