M.A.M.E. - Tapper [Budweiser] - Points [Marathon Settings] - 287,950 - AL Birman

Keith:

We made a new track for Vs Tennis just FYI.

I use the stock X-Arcade 8-way with no modifications to play. I'm used to it so I'm comfortable with it as-is.

Good luck!

If you want something cheaper you could always buy Zippyy's LS 32 clone and mod it with Cherry switches.

Just ordered one those zippy clone sticks for player 2 side of my xarcade😜

Let us know how you like it.

Sorry Al, but your .inp desyncs when I play it back on my end, and the game ends on level 1 - the most likely cause of this is that you didn't disable NVRAM before recording, and this is one of the games that uses NVRAM. Quickest way to check if NVRAM is enabled is to go into the directory where WolfMAME is installed, and look to see if there is a folder called nvram...if you see another folder inside with the name of the ROM set (tapperb), then NVRAM is enabled:

When you messaged me a couple of months ago for advice on how to get MAME set up, I listed some instructions for how to permanently disable NVRAM (sent it on May 28th). For anyone else reading this, the steps are as follows:

- Open a command prompt, and change directory to the location where you have WolfMAME installed.
- Type "mame64 -cc" and hit enter (without quotes).

- In the MAME directory, double-click the mame.config that has been created to open it.

- In the third section down (CORE OUTPUT DIRECTORY OPTIONS), there is a line that reads "nvram_directory nvram". Change then entry so that it reads "nvram_directory NUL".

- Click File, Save, and close the file.

From this point on, any .inps recorded will always have NVRAM disabled, and you won't run into this issue again.

Please check your WolfMAME directory and confirm the above - as I expect that is the culprit, I'm unfortunately going to have to vote no on this sub...hopefully you can resubmit an even higher score after disabling the NVRAM.

Hmm, looks like the attachments didn't come through on my last reply...anyway, this is just a copy/paste of my reply on Al's other thread - to see the screen shots, go here: https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthr...l=1#post988314

Well damn, atleast we have all the joystick talk from this submission 😉

Darn !!!

Ok, should I cancel?

Or request a "NO" from adjudicators?

Sorry folks !!!

and THANKS Jason !!!

Folks, please vote NO on this submission.

My MVRAM was not disabled.

Future subs will be good.

Thanks Jason, and I apologize to adjudicators.

This is exactly why I wanted to submit test scores - before I go on a real run.

PLEASE VOTE "NO" ON THIS ONE. IT FAILED THE INP TEST.

I WILL RE-SUBMIT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

THANK YOU !
