All my inps are for real.(posted 9478 days ago)No framerates less than 100%. Always start on screen 1. No cheats (of course!!!!)
The only game I didn't use TG settings was sf2, and I post that I used default. If people want to cheat they will.
Back in the TG contest of 1985 I got 80,300 on an arcade Wizard of Wor (yes, the real thing) 8,140,000+ on Punchout (too boring to do now) and 1,416,440 on Dig Dug.
So yes, I'm a bit better with mame, more experienced too. In fact, I'd say that mame is actually a bit harder for games like sf2, because the computer controls really stink.
And I'm older, and I don't have time to burn out on the games all day like when I was a teenager in the summer.
I'll meet anyone with a machine anywhere and play in person. Oh, one more thing, the original arcade Carnival was *EASIER*, mame is much much harder.
I know you could play a slowed down machine, but you do really think Krogman played Galaga slow for over 400 screens??? Do you think I played Dig Dug slow for 120 rounds???
Right. I would never do that because I mastered the game back in early 1983. You are right for games like Track N Field and Hypersports... but like Greg says, the mame dev guys, or even myself for that matter, could easily patch the source and recompile so that framerate is always in the screen.
IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT.
