If you only want the scores from the main Pac-Mania romset, search for pacmania in the SHORT NAME. Problem solved.
Maybe u didnt understand me? Check this yourself:
If u put in the second field Pac-Mania (Japan) you ll get Pac-Mania (Japan) scores.
If u put in the second field Pac-Mania you ll get again Pac-Mania (Japan) scores!
This is a problem.
No, you're the one that doesn't understand. Whatever you type into one of the search boxes will match every game that has that in their title. If you type "pac" into the long name box, you'll get every game that has a "pac" somewhere in the title, which includes any of the Pac-Man games, DoDonpachi, Apache 3, etc.
When you search for "Pac-Mania" in the long name box, you'll get every game that has Pac-Mania in its title. Pac-Mania Japan (pacmanij) has Pac-Mania in its title, so it's going to come up as a result. If you still don't understand, I don't know what to tell you, but stop blaming the search function.
And about short name box, how can I be sure for the spelling of short name? You people told me to write the EXACT name in the long box... I typed it and I got wrong results...
If you're a using a GUI version of MAME, the shortnames should appear in the game list. You got "wrong results" from the long name of Ms. Pac-Man because the long name you entered in did not match exactly the way it's spelled/spaced in MAME.
.......But there's no need to post about EVERYTHING you upload. IRC just works better for real-time discussion and all that.
Not everything of course. But why not discuss the big scores or how to impove them, tips etc. IRC is a chat and this is a forum. Forum is better because the written stay saved. So, if its not forbidden I prefer to talk here about the scores.(wtf, what else do u discuss in the forum boys, if not the scores??)
There's plenty of things the forum has been used for that doesn't directly involve discussion of recordings. Like I said, if you want to start topics about certain games then go right ahead, but people won't like it if you're using the forum to draw attention to everything you upload.
I want to report a fake(?) score... I just checked the only submited score in Winter Heat and I saw its fake... or maybe recorded file doesnt work properly? Can u plz check it?
What Chad said, use the Playbackability forum to report scores that don't playback. Don't call them "fake" scores though, everyone makes mistakes and sometimes recordings just don't playback correctly, it doesn't necessarily mean the person was trying to upload a "fake" score.
Also, here's another tip for you - when you submit a score, please submit the ACTUAL score, don't round it off. Your pacmanij recording plays back to 320,050, not 320,000. If you don't remember what the score was at game over, play it back and double-check it before you upload.
