It was okay.. I think the first scrolling track color racing game. I don't think driving games got particularly great until Pole Position.

I managed to get it working in a video editor. Pretty simple really, if you can mark the time down that the sample needs to be played. Then move the recording into the bar for sound effects at or around the right timeline (depending on how accurate you want to be) and it works like a charm! Too bad the video editor chopped off the last few seconds of my video narration, for reasons I don't understand. Grrr...

Thanks for the info, Rybags! Maybe I should just edit the video.. does YouTube have the capability to let you put your sounds in? I noticed they have a Video Editor..

Next one: MONTE CARLO, 1979 Atari Color overhead racing game on fixed tracks, with a total of 8 to choose from. Reach the total of points required to get extended time. Other racers, and your occasional inability to steer at the turns, impede your progress. I saw this at the Beaverton roller rink back in the early 80s. Didn't ever play it until recently when I made a YouTube video of it. Not bad for its time.

Hey gang! I wanted to make videos of some games for YouTube through MAME. Unfortunately some of them don't have samples, or certain sounds are wrong or missing. If I can record something that sounds like what I remember hearing when I played it way back when, how can I get the game to play it in the samples folder? One specific incident: the game INTRUDER by Game Plan/Taito has an explosion sound missing when you or the opponent gets blasted. I think the sound of getting shot in Space Invaders was very similar. How can I take that sample and get it to work with the rom? Is there some sort of .cfg file I need to fiddle with? Just curious if anyone has any input. I may need to ask the MAME dev team, just thought I'd ask you guys first. Thanks!

Glad you gave it a chance. It really is a good system, it's admittedly tough to get past the terrible controllers. But there are some great games.

Thanks for the responses! I am kind of surprised how awful the controls are. I may have a look at some of those forums at a later date. Right now, I'm kinda wrapped up with football and such at present.

Hey gang! I was delighted to obtain the AppleWin emulator and start playing SNEAKERS. However, the controls are awful! Just tapping the left or right keys makes your ship fly in that direction without stopping. REALLY annoying. I can't get very far at all in this manner. I want to make a video of this for YouTube; how do you record video within it? Or can you?

Seen this code before, but it doesn't seem to work for me. If anyone gets it to work, let me know. On the first level, eat one ghost. On the second level, eat two ghosts. On the third level, eat three ghosts. On the fourth level, eat four ghosts. Now press Up, Down and Up. Kill Pac-Man. Now you should have infinite lives.

Some major areas I wasn't able to enter, that someone might be able to tell me how to uncover: FIRST CASTLE All along the bottom area (catacombs). All along the top section, the area where you warp to the inverted castle. All along the sections leading down towards the catacombs. The area around the castle entrance, where you start the game. The area where you fight the stone roses and dicepha-whatevers. INVERTED CASTLE: Outside the far-left area (the one with the big elevator system). I got mostly the outside of the church area but there's an extra layer of outside castle I didn't get. In the above picture of the inverted castle, I couldn't go lower than the floor of the church areas; I was only able to go level to the floor, if that makes sense. Any help is appreciated; I have used the heart refresh trick almost everywhere. I read something about using a 2 handed sword then switching to a library card when getting stuck, but it didn't work for me.

I just like how it not only shows in white the extra areas you've explored, but also counts it in your completion percentage. Too bad you can only see it when selecting your file before you start your game.

Almost 260%?? Holy crap! I've found some areas that I can explore outside of but I can't get out. Turning into the bat and doing the wing smash doesn't help. I think I'm talking about the inverted cave waterway area. Too bad I can't use a library card to get out of there, due to me being falling/flying/floating. Wish I could submit pictures of what areas I've unlocked.

I actually thought it was okay. My sister and I had fun with it. Plenty of difficulty settings made it more interesting to us, and even on the hardest level we got pretty good at it.

Also, wondering what's the most someone has uncovered on their map in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I assume pretty much everyone knows about the "outside the castle" tricks, so I'll offer my percentage of 216.8% and see if anyone has more than that. Or maybe this should be a separate thread on its own?
