Response to Question about .inp for racing games (ones where less is "more")

from BBH (lordbbh@aol.com)
Ah, I knew this was coming. In fact, in the past I've asked what should be done about scoring games in which the only scoring system is time. No one seemed to care or have an answer.

Since I'm not Zwaxy, I'm not sure what can be done with the script... my guess is that perhaps certain games can be set up to recognize lower scores as being better for certain romsets. But I don't know if the script can handle this automatically. Neo Drift Out is another Neo racer that only uses a scoring system of time, and there has to be some other, older games in MAME that rely on a time system. You better figure something out, Zwaxy. ;)

And for what it's worth, I've gotten some sub-4 minute times on Over Top. :) Haven't recorded anything yet, although I will if this whole matter is solved. It's all about the Dominator baybee! (and the default 40-second stage record is pretty easy to break with most of the vehicles on every stage)
