Can I play with TG settings in this week? I can count lives.
It's a bit confused to play in week on other settings than for further bounty. Difficulty is identical, only lives are count diiferent.
Number of lives is identical:
- default MAME - 3 on start + 3 extra = 6
- TG - 5 on start + 1 extra = 6

John: Have a look at my 420k upload. The game resets at approx 420k.. I still had 4 men in reserve and playing on my second man. No idea what caused it. gstrain at #marp suggested that it could have been the fact that I got over 300k on one man. First time I have ever done that. If anyone has any suggestions I would be more than glad. Right now I feel really pissed about this, so I will probably not play it again until I know for sure it would not happen again.

Some quick testing with the invulnerability cheat seems to indicate that going more than 3 3/5 or 3 4/5 courses on a single vehicle causes the game to malfunction.QRS wrote:John: Have a look at my 420k upload.

Could be a MAME issue, more likely I think a bug in the original program.

My pad survived the 420k gamecrash hehe. I did not punish it for the 588k though hehe. Also.. I blame myself this time cause I missed one car on purpose (on the mines) cause I was rather close to 300k on one man again..(525k) but then I choked and missed two men at 541k.. NOT on purpose.. that made me so damn nervous.. and then I had do pass point "D" which can be hell sometimes.. and of course I had to die my last man there.. only 1 min of gameplay from beating my previous 597kThe_Pro wrote:420K with a game crash and 588K with unfortunate deaths. What will be broken first, Eric Ginner's record or QRS's gamepad?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I can beat my score, but I don't know if I have the time for it now.. And for the 700k+ wr.. it will be hard.. cause If I get into the "zone" and gets too far on one man.. I have to crash on purpose.. and that does not prevent me from mess up and crash a few more after that. A possible 1.8 mil something even with this bug.. but I don't think anyone ever will get that score.. unless they figure out how to pass the champ stage 100% every time.

Note well:
The clone ROMset "mpatrolw" appears not to be affected by this glitch.
Entries using this ROMset will be allowed, and Twin Galaxies should be petitioned to use this as the canonical ROMset for MAME entries on this title for this reason, and as this is the Williams' version it is probably the one that most U.S. players would have been playing in the arcades anyway.

Hey wait a minute
Did the crash bug have any bearing on this score. How was this score shot. Mark Longridge was the ref. Maybe he has some info.

Hehe.

John, look at uploads, up section.
Des deleting good first places...Xybots, Pacmania etc classics, only classics? This guy thinks that rules are for finding holes, shame.
Des, I have plenty of 1sts at true classics, but still it seems very rare that my games are picked. If they were chosen for gegotw, I could beat myself in a week at most of them, apart from few. Should I delete trackfld recording because it might be chosen for gegotw...No way!
John,
You need a new rule for GEGOTW: If you have submitted a score at a game, and deleted it...you still have to beat the deleted score to get gegotw price.
