The filename is the same as for the inp (except for the extension, obviously), and is stored in the same folder. I strongly urge everyone w...

The first game I mastered.... Q*Bert. I had played no more than 6-7 games on it before I set what then was a new WR...14.3 million. My high score prior to that game was only 300k. <snip>

That's insane!

Hmm interesting replies. You're right I should have had a 100$+ option, in fact I was going to have one but forgot to add it, seems I can't edit the poll either. Those are interesting questions MJS but I never was one to spend much money at the arcades, was too young unfortunately for much of the go...

With all the virtual money we are plunking into games in mame it'd be interesting to know how much real money other people have spent/wasted on a real arcade game when hooked. I'm not talking about an estimate of how much money you have spent at the arcades in general but the most you think you have...

Thanks!

Sometime in games where you need short bursts of really rapid fire I tighten the musscles in my upper forarm right below my elbow, this causes your whole arm to shake quickly and allows you to fire even faster that autofire sometimes.

Anyone else do this???

Interesting replies. LN2: I can see why it would seem obvious to you that you can do anything when practising a game. However not everyone feels that way. There are some, though I agree not many, who feel that using any advantage an emulator gives you over playing the game in the aracade is not righ...

Simple question. When practicing for a high score on marp what do you consider cheating, if anything? I'm not talking about the recording you send in obviously, I'm talking about ways to improve your play at a game. A purist would probably say that anything except normal arcade play is cheating. Per...

(Yet another Leader board Question) Yes I know it's becoming an annoying topic but I just had an interesting idea and thought I'd put it out there and see what others thought of it. Yes I know the LB shouldn't be a hot topic, it should be about having fun playing the game, but I do find the idea of ...

Ok thanks.

Wow I'm surprised that there are so many games with no score submited, guess "leaderboard leachers" must like this list hehe.

Just noticed that Dynablaster (World) seems to be missing from Marp, is there a reason for this or is this a bug?

My biggest problem with scoring on games has always been consistancy, sometimes I can get a really high score but then I can play like 30 times before I match it and those 30 times I usually only get about 1/4-1/2 of my top score, if only I can consistantly improve instead of stuttering up and down...

As was said before, there is no defined time involving playing for a 1st place. Anyone who's played a lot of the actual arcade game before moving onto MAME isn't going to have to spend much time at all getting used to playing on an emulator, unless it has a funky control scheme. And sometimes a pla...

Hope this isn't one of those polls that appears very few weeks or so. Anyway I was wondering how long does the average Marper practice to get a 1st place score in a game. I realize this is a VERY variable question so I'm only looking for ballpark averages and also I am EXCLUDING games where there is...

all it really takes is practice, and perhaps godlike skill, but most of it is practice i'll bet. advertisement mode ON. sometimes that question could be answered by: The short cuts mame provides can give any average joe god like skills, i.e. using pause, autofire, and other cheats to make a recordi...
