Apologies if this has been covered before, but I only get to surf using this poxy 386 at college which takes forever, and before I can
read anything some spotty student is huffing and puffing down my neck
cos he wants to get his ****ology essay typed up.
My question - just who is it who confirms these scores? Some of the
claims seem totally preposterous and, on downloading, not surprisingly
turn out to be utter cattle-crap.
What's going on?

Confirmation crisis
Moderator: Chad

confirmations - you saying what now ?
only a few (as far as i know) people can confirm scores...and i am one of them 
honoured as i am at this, i watch the replay through 100% looking for all sorts of little things...like CHEATING (!!!dont get me started now!)
yeah, on a few of my favourite games, i can tell what settings were used even...if you know a game that good...well...
<p>
BUT as far as i know, all the other confirmers do the same, i watch the game through looking for non obvious stuff (not like CONTINUING) but sketchy gameplay (ie -cheat, or x more lives) and make sure its a legit score, then i confirm it...IF its alright...dodgy replays are told to higher authorities (zwaxy)
<p>
YOU CANNOT CONFIRM YOUR OWN SCORES
<p>
so if it dont replay back andi have tried to make it to, then i tell someone about it (zwaxy ^_^) but as we all know now, some games dont like to play back anyway...fixed soon hopefully
<p>
<p>
so there

re: Confirmation crisis
Like Krool said, there are a few confirmers- mostly MARP regulars who have contributed recordings for a long time on this site, so you can be rest assured that the confirmed scores are indeed genuine.
<p>
The reason some recordings may appear 'cattle crap' to you is that you are attempting to play back an older recording on a newer version of MAME. For many games this results in random play culminating in a much lower score than is proclaimed. All recordings should be played back on the version of MAME that the person recorded the score on.
