... Giga Wing's been XORed ...
And I suck at it too.

Heh. And what with Giga Wing's habit of sticking spaces into the score on random occasions, the score might be higher than advertised in that picture. :-/mahlemiut wrote:*senses an opportunity to make Kaidi feel even worse*

Bug in MAME, it doesn't display the zeroes in-game. I've fixed that and sent it to MAMEdev.MDenham wrote:Heh. And what with Giga Wing's habit of sticking spaces into the score on random occasions, the score might be higher than advertised in that picture. :-/

scoring enough points there? Imagine if there was a contest where the winner got one dollar for every point s/he scored...

Oh... by the way... I hope we all agree to divide the score by one million until the 64-bit scores come into play, right?

That'll make my scores look even crappier.

Why don't we just chop off some of the digits (like 10 or so?) instead? That's -sort of- like dividing by a million.

That would make it even worse. Dividing by a million is more than enough.

I'm curious,why doesn't display the zeroes?A tilemap bug,right?mahlemiut wrote:Bug in MAME, it doesn't display the zeroes in-game. I've fixed that and sent it to MAMEdev.MDenham wrote:Heh.

some of the cps1 games such as magic sword require the hardware to ignore the tilecode which happens to contain the 0 on gigawing, cps2 probably doesn't, or theres a register controlling it.

Most CPS-2 games use an ASCII-like character set for the 8x8 tiles, and the tile ignored is 0x20 (32), which is usually a space. There is no point in MAME wasting time in moving memory for an empty space, so MAME simply ignores it. Basically it's there to speed up the rendering of that tilemap or something. Giga Wing obviously doesn't use an ASCII-like character set.
