VectorGamer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 According to Twin Galaxies there are additional settings for MAME: Extended Rank: GPractice Rank: C These may be difficulty settings that could be relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 which is the "standard setting"? You mean factory default? I have no idea - try loading it in MAME with default settings and see what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wish I could participate. Right now I don't even have time to play the games for the 2600 HSC Silver Medal playoff final. I'd have to get emulators for both Arcade and the 8-bit Atari anyway. Really no time for this in the next few weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Maybe push the deadline back to Nov 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Maybe push the deadline back to Nov 1st Starting it now gives players 3 weekends to play. When I ran tournaments on RetrocadeMagazine.com we played for 3 weekends and you had to play a minimum of 6 games. I think 3 weekends for 3 games is sufficient time.

roadrunner Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The Atari 800 Pole Position you might want to list the standings for PAL and NTSCthe PAL version is easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I like the contest idea, Mr.VCS I've never used MAME before, so I'll have to find time to d/l it and figure out how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 By the way, Pole Position is winning the current 7800 poll, so it looks like we'll be able compete at this game on four different systems for a couple weeks link: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/230339-7800-hsc-season-7-game-11-poll/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorfy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 OK, I downloaded MAME, but when I click on it, I get a blank screen with no way to access the game ROM. Anybody have any ideas about what I'm doing incorrectly? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have any ideas about what I'm doing incorrectly? :? MAME will create a roms folder, put the roms in their and then audit all games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
