600 and Turtles lives allowed?

Post by Frankie »

Hi
<p>

I was wondering what is the allowed number of lives to start with in those two games (600 & Turtles)? In Mame37b10 the default number of lives are 3, and in the newest mame its 4.

<p>

Bye.

Latest version becomes the rule, so 4--although admittedly, this is a
real headache with Turtles. It's already been through at least three
changes to the default settings--I remember bringing it up twice when
I was RC.

<p>

And I don't win ALL the battles, Frankie, though thank you for the
flattery. Ikki will take a while now, no doubt. I consistently mess
up on 2-2. Can you get a perfect bonus round? Is it possible?

Hi Q.T.Quazar
<p>

Allright, 4 it is. This means that I don't have to change my scores :-
)

<p>

I've never been able to get all 20 icons in the bonus round. I think
my max is 16 or 17. I don't think its possible. They come to far
apart from each other, some of them.

<p>

If you need a little tip, look at my INP file. There's a guy that
gives you a bonus of 10000 points and the ending of the round, when
you catch him.

<p>

Very nice :-)

<p>

I don't think I can take Dommy much further as it gets to fast for me
in Scene 5. So you take that one for sure.

<p>

Bye.

Well, I failed at recovering both Dommy and Ikki last night, so don't
be too sure. I was one damn domino away from a perfect stage 4 too.
It takes too long to kick stuff in that game.

<p>

As for Ikki, where is this guy? I can't playback a lot of recordings
right now because of limited Internet. I was just about through a
complete second cycle and I never saw anyone.

<p>

Something is funny with that bonus stage, too. Why would they design
it so that you can't get all the bonuses?

I've just checked and confirmed your Ikki score and you're right. He
doesn't appear at any time. This is weird. In my new recording that
I've just uploaded I think I catched him about 4 times.

<p>

Maybe I'm doing something that you don't do, I just can't figure out
what that should be.

<p>

He's dressed totally in blue, except that he have yellow stripes on
his jacket. He is also carrying something that looks like a knife.

<p>

I hope you'll find him one day :-)

<p>

BTW, I've just reached area 3-2 which is extremely hard :-(

<p>

About Dommy, if you succeed in getting the bonus on all four scenes
you win. I've only managed to do it once in scene 3 :-)

<p>

Bye.
