After three days of not being able to upload from my home computer at all, I am able to upload directly from my computer today. Takes several attempts, and I still cannot upload at all from a URL.

Ironically this is just the opposite of what the situation had been normally prior to a few days ago.

The past 4-5 days it takes me 3-4 attempts to upload a score It used to take me 3 or 4 attempts to upload. My last 3 or 4 hundred from home have been unsuccessful. This is the third day I cannot upload at all. BTW why are most of the high scores with much older versions of MAME? I also have wondere...

The fact that I enjoy it is the only reason I'm still playing since my scores stink. Just now getting 44k after a week of playing. Had never played the game before. Never played Tetris either.

Also.....

Aren't people who can't upload going to be at a bit of a disadvantage in WCC3?

Moot issue for me since I stink at Blockout.

From another location with a faster connection I was able to upload a few recordings directly from the computer.

Still completely unable to upload from home.

I only seem to be getting messages 2) and 3) today, though.

It seems to be progressively worse. In the past a little perseverance was necessary at times, but today I literally tried all day with no success. Alternately got the messages: 1) got something from that URL : length 60058 bytes some kind of error with the zip file - couldn't unzip it command: './ex...

I don't think so.

Somebody needs to explain the concept here to Mr. Wiggins.

Be gentle.

Well, I got the ball rolling. Shot 111 for 18 holes. Two "give ups" but birdied the 18th. It's difficult getting in the hole before reaching the "give up" on most holes...as I haven't been able to hit a ball reliably more than about 150 yards. If there were money involved I'd thi...

Might be an interesting challenge for someone to name as many of the games shown as possible...

And tar......be honest.

You see stuff like this even when your computer isn't on, don't you?

Someone on the TG forums posted these links. I thought I'd post them here for those who do not watch there. http://www.powerstrike.net/flovies.html My favorite is: http://www.powerstrike.net/Tehkan/mamejump.html They are basically animated music videos featuring a MAME or classic videogame character...

Okay, so by the wording of the poll, tar's leeching has been banned. Mine is OK though, right? :twisted: Seriously, I deleted it and I guess tar's should be moved to the tricks page so that he can be remembered by posterity as the pioneer of the technique. "The man who brought Saturn to it's kn...

Plays back to the advertised score for me.

First, requirements for a special rule require 2/3rds or at least 66% of the vote for that special rule to be made. This came up in a previous thread, and none of the staff ever confirmed that a 2/3 majority would be needed in a case like this. The rules just state that a 2/3 majority is required w...

Same results with alphamame69 which he apparently used.
