Just Seen some scores posted for this verson and the other one not Using Wolfmame. They say it's not on Wolfmame? I have no problem playing it . Thought you had to have a Wolfmame score for first place? I'm seeing alot of Win with numbers taking first places recently .

I don't believe the server side scripts enforce this requirement. It has to be brought to the attention of someone with the access to manually take care of it by posting a topic on these forums, as you've just done.

No doubt someone with the appropriate access rights etc will review this and take any necessary steps, time permitting.

Cheers,

TY BeeJay for responding
I belive the rule is you must have a Wolfmame score for first place scores .
It's rule Number 3

3. Playback in a specified version of MAME is required to prove your scores. Detailed instructions about recording and playing back .inp files can be found here. It is therefore a player's responsibility to double-check their recordings to ensure that they playback properly. Recordings which do not play back under the version of MAME that you specified are subject to score-zeroing, modification, or deletion. If an editor changes your "claimed" score because the recording plays back to a different score, it will be indicated in the comments for that recording.

a) Use of Wolf- or TGMAME is preferred.
MAME u, -update versions are not allowed if your operating system has more official versions available.
b) Since April 15, 2007, use of WolfMAME is required if you take first place in any game. You can download WolfMAME from

further proof the leaderboard turns grown men into children!!
after that event, i downloaded every wolfmame plus in existence. took me about an hour to do. then, i audited them all. guess what? COSMICA1 is not recognised by any of them...
is there not a compatability chart somewhere so i can check there rather than doing what i just explained? took me about 2 hours to realise i cannot play it according to MARPs rules.
total madness. #-o

wolf106.exe cosmica works.

At wolf106's time there is only one clone cosmica2

$ wolf106 cosmica -listclones
Name: Clone of:
cosmica2 cosmica

if you want to upload cosmica1 you need wolf138 or later

$ ./wolf138 cosmica -listclones
Name: Clone of:
cosmica1 cosmica
cosmica2 cosmica
