Hall of Shame

Post by Chad »

Recordings will be posted here when they are detected to be using autofire/slowdown or some other cheating method illegal to MARP. Just because one person/recording is listed here doesn't mean the scores are immediately disqualified or if the person is cheating in all the rest of their recordings. It also doesn't mean our detection for cheating is full proof but it hasn't been proved incorrect yet! For a while a simple suggestion from an editor for people to record in a secure mame doesn't seem to be enough to clean things up. Maybe public humilation and a chance for public retribution to get their name off this list might make them play fair with a secure mame.

Thus: Having your name and your recording on this list is a request from all of marp to make a new recording with a similar score to your previous one with the latest version of Alpha Mame

http://marp.retrogames.com/exe/alphamame-064-2.zip (Win32 console)
http://marp.retrogames.com/exe/alphamame32-064-2.zip (Win32 GUI)
http://marp.retrogames.com/exe/alphadmame-064-2.zip (DOS)

. Please rerecord and upload to marp with this version and you're name will be taken off this list, provided it is recorded at a legal Marp speed.


To start i'm listing two recordings from two people that exhibit bad behavior when many of their other recordings are just fine. I've confirmed a few that look great (good game play and fair speed). This leads me to believe they have slow computers which most games run ok at full 100% speed but these two are known slow games and don't appear to not playing at full speed when they are recording. Alpha mame will be the deciding factor since detection is only an estimation, although a fairly acurate one.


WRX2 shows a borderline slow recording

FXKING is back and making some good recordings and some bad ones, including this one which is clearly recorded with a slow computer (detection was WAY passed the borderline and easily detected.)

Preload has been behaving and making detection free inps but might as well record a link here for the record on an OLD upload. clear autofire/slowdown signature.

I dunno.... I hope they keep refusing :) More chances to laugh are always a worthwhile thing :)

due to wrx2 not answering messages i have to post here: more autofire fodder from wrx2. I really commend wrx2 for using tgmame but we can still detect autofiring when used with tgmame even though he's admirably recording at the right speed. all other recordings of the same game do not show autofire signature as these do.

http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/wrx2_got ... mame64.zip

EDIT: also a bug in marp accidentally deleted wrx2's the gotcha entry from the gotch entries. I only meant to change the score to 0. But you can still download it from the link above to check it out.

Blatant autofire. Don't need any tool to see that. Not to mention that the detatwin inp doesn't playback, I guess that would be due to NVRAM.
