And your inp made yesterday is not legal because you died against the last boss because of lack of time so you hadn't enough time to finish the game and you earn another life with score when you finish to beat the boss...

Best solution for this game is limit lives I think.
1 life ;)

No maybe better solution like evoqued here viewtopic.php?t=12481 should be to calculate the number of frames from 2 points determined = time trial

my replay of yesterday (3.850.000) is legal, because I was in front of the last boss with many seconds for finish the game. For a my mistake (and not for time end) I died 1 life against last boss.

then, I finish the game, but 1 life miss and i lost 90.000 pts (lives bonus count)

9 lives + 1 = 900.000 bonus
9 lives = 810.000 bonus

So i maybe wrong but i remember that i saw you kill the boss and loose because of time in one of your last inp, a double ko in fact like it is possible in pulstar ;)

But are you sure that you would have 900 000 bonus points with 9+1 ?? 9 lives is the maximum showed by the game so i presume counted ? So it explains why you loose your life to increas bonus points...

In my old replay I lost some lifes against last boss because I didn't know the exact position where to be. If I have 2 fairies I can beat last boss with 4/5 seconds on time counter. Double KO is impossible in wardner and is it useless because:

9 lives is maximum display.... but if you win a tenth lives it have value.

I'm sure 100%

9 lives = 100.000 x 8 + 10.000 pts
9 lives + 1 (invisible) = 100.000 x 9 = 900.000

if you not have 10 lives after last boss, replay is not good.

Hi !

It seems that newabo's inp on wardner doesn't respect marp rule :
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/f/e/f/na ... olf103.zip

He lost because of lack of time (0.01 sec) at the end of the stage 2 ^^

Is it legal or not ?
