I think that alphamame 68 is fastest.

Remember that MAME now auto-creates the NVRAM folder. Setting nvram_directory to NUL in mame.ini (or Options->Directories... in MAME32) will fix this.

You were right, i just deleted nvram dir and forgot that it mame creates it now always. playback is ok now

'ultennis' not have the end. I loop it 2 times and go to 3rd loop (otherwise not 1 credit ).

What is 'beginner mode'? It seems to make the first game a lot easier if you say 'yes' to the question.

The 'special rules' for Ultimate Tennis don't mention it.

I just received an email saying:

Game isn\'t easier. Only with prompts on first tournaments. If you play good the prompts don\'t appear. Somtimes this prompts difficulty game, especialy when opponent want lob you. On later games prompts don\'t appear (test it personally).

but the link seems to be dead. What's going on there?

I've tried quite a few times and nearly always win the first game game-love in 'beginner mode' and nearly always lose the first game if I don't use beginner mode. Is this just a placebo effect?

By the way, leaderboard points weren't being awarded - it just looked like they were. Now it doesn't even look like it, either.

I checked it more detailed today.
And...Im' sure that first 3 opponents are slower than in nobeginner mode. At 6th opponent game is schematic and in my opinion opponents are identical than in nobegginer mode.
4th i 5th opponents are almost identical. It depend at it what I played early. If I don't use button 2 not even once then prompt appear on the screen with button 2 to use and I have more time to make think. If I use button 2 then prompt don't appear.
But opponents at 6th played identical with identical difficulty (very schematic).
For player who that know how to do play on 'ultennis' it's without difference but for begginer is easier.

Today at evening (Poland time )I check it one time more.

I played today on nobeginner mode and... opponents 1, 2, 3, 4 are harder, at opponent 5 opponents are schematical (little faster than in begginer mode).

Yes. Beginner mode is easier.

I was pretty sure of that, too. I've still not mananged to win a game if I don't select 'beginner mode'.

Pat should specify which mode we should use for the knockout competition.

I don't know what you mean by "schematical".

Where in Poland are you? I'm in Prague, me. Not very far from Poland, really.

Stay tune : only 5 hours left to qualify for round 2 and knowing the 2nd game .....

Poland, Czestochowa.
Schematic mean that opponents play identical. Ball is fast and if you know some tactics you win. Look my inp with score 911. At 6th opponent I play identical and opponents too. I use helpful window with prompt (button 2) but without this prompt I play identical. I only want demonstrate how use this prompt. In nobeginner mode this schemat you can start at 4th-5th opponent's. Sometimes is needed some luck. I don't know how gain an extra ball. Maybe who know?

f...k holy....... $%^&*^$##
this cant be true!!!!!!

Just one thought... shouldn't all this be in the MAME Championships forum. Each of the coordinators has mod status there.
