Neobombe-vs worth archiving?

Considering there are now 8 scores of 20 wins (as per the special rule; 4 of them confirmed), is there any merit to archiving this title? Or maybe the special rules can be modified to factor in the score to break the ties at the top of the scoreboard?

Re: Rule 2a

I'm not a particular fan of the practice as it opens up the idea of memory manipulation through the coin input, which is something that would not happen in a real-world competition environment. In theory, yes you could manipulate things by having multiple credits in the machine as you play. However...

Re: Rick Carter - arcadecl-sc - 1,484,887

Considering how old this submission is, I doubt there's still a way to find it if it wasn't directly uploaded here. You could try the email link by Rick's name and see if there's a response, but I doubt that will work either. Anyone know Rick outside of MARP?

Re: WORLD HEROES problems with 1st position

That said, he was not the only character that had a death combo. The other characters that could do it involved sliding and dizzys. So should there be a special rule with this game banning use of any character with an instant-KO combo (or at least using Brocken)? It doesn't seem fair to compare sco...

Re: Xain'd Sleena Game

The playback only fails if you don't match the dipswitch settings it was recorded on. Mahlemiut figured that out back when the recording was uploaded in 2008 and people couldn't figure out why it wasn't playing back properly: I've figured it out! Looks like DIP switches are no longer stored in the I...

Re: MAME 0.171 New Games

I would second the short name changes list idea, particularly as how often you see in the MARP database INPs uploaded under the wrong shortname and having to be moved as a result. If the shortname changes were put in a convenient list, uploaders would be less likely to make that mistake.

Also getting an "empty" INP (77 bytes long). Saulon probably uploaded the wrong file.

Re: LeClaqueurFou@jvrm.net - mrdrillr-beg - 352,160

Could the 10 point difference be the result of a difference in operating systems between the recording and playback machines (like how in the past some INPs would only playback correctly if your computer had a certain OS)?

Re: Marp turning 18 soon...

My score on Hustle is from 26 Jan 99 ! I don't know if I have something from 1998, filter by date is (still) not working The earliest one I've found (out of 2,680 hits! 8O ) with the search is a submission for the game Kaos dated 13 Jan 99 recorded with Win 33. That might've been recorded in 98, bu...

Maybe he just forgot to account for that last round bonus when he wrote his score down? (shrugs shoulders)
