haven't followed this thread much but has anyone thought about blind submisions? where all players don't know the scores/standings untill the particular contest is over? yeah, you don't know where you stand during the competition but at least late submisions would NOT mean anything then... You mean...

Perhaps a better system then is to give one bonus point to the player who has the best score at the end of each day. Ok this has flaws too, eg. you can be 1st all week long then finish 3rd and still get the most points :). It will be like 6 mini competitions and it still won't prevent last minute up...

Sure they might not but it's better than nothing and there will be PROOF that they didn't check their inp if it doesn't play back and they will lose credibility at MARP :oops:. You could even go to the extent of sending an email to remind them what the checkbox is for. Or is this just another unenfo...

Can't playback. He propably never tests hes recordings. Why can't we just put a checkbox on the upload page saying, "I confirm that I have replayed my inp and that it plays back to the advertised score and without requiring an nvram."? If you don't tick the checkbox you can't upload your ...

How do you get the secret bonus in the triple jump? Is it 3 perfect angles or what? It was certainly a rare sight in the arcades. Just wondering because surely you would also be denied of this bonus with no nvram.

QRS are you talking about the information bar that pops up when a popup is blocked? If so you can turn this off in Pop-up Blocker Settings...

Great tip about the ad-blocking Patwos, I will try that one.

I've gotta sympathise with Dskys on this one. This site is supposed to be FUN . All the Hypersports enthusiasts say ALLOW nvram for this game so it can be played in the spirit of the arcade experience and achieve similar scores. Are any of the editors true Hypersports fans? This was one of my favour...

dskys, your upload says you recorded with mame83 which is not Wolfmame. While you're editing that you could also put the correct nvram in the zip file and perhaps a short readme describing how someone can replay the inp eg. "copy hyperspt.nv to the nvram folder and use the -allownvram switch&qu...

Ok I tried again with Wolfmame83 :). It plays back one round plus the swimming on round 2 then goes off sync in the skeets. The strange thing is though that ALL the world records start at ZERO whether I use the nvram or not including pole vault. Doesn't Wolfmame discard nvram information when playin...

Doesn't play back for me :(. Did you really use mame83? Better to use Wolfmame then no one will suspect slowdown, autofire usage or pausing mid-game and such. Just to be safe use Wolfmame for MARP. Interesting that if you leave this inp to run you can see what you need to qualify on the later rounds...

Have you tried turning off system restore. Just a thought.

This seems to open up another question. If nvram is permitted, are you allowed to 'cheat' to set the pole vault records as high as possible in order to set the machine up for a later legitimate record attempt? Consider this. In an arcade a three player team also using an electric toothbrush for rapi...

I don't know about an inp but here's a screenshot done with repeated attempts using save states. 5.98m on the first round and it looks like higher is possible, just once in a while you seem to get propelled extra high over the bar. Tip: Don't use RLH it's too slow! ;). Set up buttons 1 and 3 as auto...

Tommi I see your point :). However it only takes someone to get a 5.94m once to prove that over time the records will all fill up with 5.94m and this was common in the arcades especially when I was at my peak :). 5.95m is possible on the first round in MAME but with autofire hehe, but at least it pr...

Fairest would be to have all the records all at 5.95m, no reason to have them any less. If you set them at 5.93m, what if you score 5.94m with a mole! Ironic.
