question about some games

Hello everyone, this is my first post to MARP. So I have a few things to say and a few questions. First I would like to ask about certain games where scores can me maxed out such as X'aind Sleena and Bad Dudes. I read the previous posts about X'aind and I know about the leeching method. And Bad Dudes all you have to do is beat the game on a first credit to max out your score. So with games like these if people really wanted to, you could flood it with a bunch of ties and so many people will be tied for first place. For myself I don't really want to submit a X'aind score because everyone will be upset. And I could submit the baddudes score but whats the point.
Another question, why isn't Splatterhouse here. I know if you win the game and play it perfectly it will also result in a bunch of 1st place ties. Unless you know a certain way to play to edge someone out.
Why does double dragon crash on me, I win the game but then it screws up and I don't know how many points you get for the final boss.
I can't get pacman to work or magic sword.
Okay, thats enough for now, any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Greetings & Salutations! Welcome to MARP
Please do enjoy your stay
Anyways on to your questions.. answered to the best of my ability.
1. What's the point to Bad Dudes? WELL.... True, you gotta annihalate it on Credit 1 for a maxed score... but the thing is... not everyone likes this game.. and there hasn't exactly been the most massive rush to play it either... I only started playing it a while back and I still have to practice a lot more to beat Level 4 and on....
In regards to X'aind Sleena, there are rules about the leeching technique you probably are referring to [if not, I'm surprised] so that should make maxing it out a bit more difficult.
In further regards to other games in general that COULD be maxed out, in most cases that requires a lot of time, patience and skill.. and with over 4000 games [including clones] in Mame, there's too much diversity that most people just play it and move on to the next big thing... this also prevents the endless tie scores.
Another question, why isn't Splatterhouse here. I know if you win the game and play it perfectly it will also result in a bunch of 1st place ties. Unless you know a certain way to play to edge someone out.
o.o? [Opens up Mame]
Hmm... reading the history.dat, I can understand why it would take a long while before this problem existed.. [or a Few days if Hisa romped through the game and schooled us in how to play, like he did with his SUPERB Klax scores]
Why does double dragon crash on me, I win the game but then it screws up and I don't know how many points you get for the final boss.
I can't get pacman to work or magic sword.
Okay, thats enough for now, any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
Hmm... are you using the latest version when playing? [Now .72] If not, you may wish to upgrade to that and upgrade all your roms. [A friendly search through the usual sources can reveal them.. which I can't reveal for obvious reasons, but they can be found with a little prodding]
As well, I can highly reccomend WolfMamePlus when Barry upgrades it to .72. Barry has done a PHENOMENAL job with his tweaks n upgrades to it and has made it the emu of choice.
Hope I've been able to be of some assistance
Enjoy your stay and feel free to continue asking questions and we'll be happy to continue to answer them... after all, this isn't the Mame.Net forums [soft smile]
