Arcade/MAME HSC Season 5.1: Dig Dug

[Arcade/MAME HSC Season 5.1: Dig Dug]

Problem solved. Now, I just need some practice.

[Arcade/MAME HSC Season 5.1: Dig Dug]

Your best bet to getting help would be to let us know what version of MAME you're running. Perhaps someone here would have information on which ROM would work best for your version of MAME.

 

You could also do some searches for romsets for your particular version of MAME. Like I mentioned in the first post, MAME is becoming more and more particular when it comes to ROMS. If you upgrade your version of MAME, it's possible that games that worked before may not work after the upgrade. Kind of a PITA.

 

 

I use mainly use 0.136, as that was the current version when I got into mame. I also have the most recent version, but there are roms I can not get to work with either. I have been trying to research the issue, and all I could find was that I needed some namco51 and namco53 zips. I downloaded those, and that didn't help either. I audited digdug to see what I am missing, and this is what it says: digdug : 51xx.bin (1024 bytes) - NOT FOUND

digdug : 53xx.bin (1024 bytes) - NOT FOUND

 

 

I thought the namco zips I downloaded had those files, but who knows what I'm doing wrong at this point. I feel completely lost. I just want to play Dig Dug!!

I would love to participate, but I can not seem to get any dig dugs to work.. I have tried many on two different versions of mame.

[Difficult games]

EDIT: Holy crap, NES Smash T.V. has a dual controller mode? That's awesome! I had no idea. Time to dust that mofo off.

 

EDIT 2: Haha, good lord, there it is on the title menu. I can't believe I've been unaware of this.

 

Yeah, it really adds to the fun of playing through such impossible challenges. I use an NES Advantage and a Honyu Explorer combination. One day, I will go for the world record.

[2nd Annual KO competition]

I'd like to join.

[NES HSC All-Time High Scores]

Oh, I'm sorry. I read this thread when you first posted, and I must have forgotten where you already described the situation.

[NES HSC All-Time High Scores]

So scores can be posted in this thread to challenge the all time scores?

[The Intellivision Bacon thread!]

What course of events leads one to conceptualize and build a bacon AT-AT?

Thank you, DZ for organizing such a fun and exciting event! Congratulations to all involved.

[Poll: Your Thoughts on Flipping Videogames]

It is difficult to make a general rule about this kind of thing. I find it easier to judge them on a case by case basis. I used to think I had no problem with it.. supply and demand, etc. However, some recent events and activities of a certain member on this site made me reconsider my philosophy. People can do what they want with their capital and property, but sometimes it is glaringly distasteful. I have never sold a single gaming item, but I have recently begun a mental list of people I will not be dealing with if I ever do sell.

[Difficult games]

I really enjoy the challenge of extremely difficult games. One tough game which grew on me is Predator for nes. I enjoy the music, and difficulty is high. You must be perfectly precise with your jumps, and the enemies can be unpredictable at times.

 

Another excellent and facemeltingly difficult nes game is Smash TV. I got really addicted to it once I learned of the dual stick controls.

[MAME...dang, sure would like to use it, but...]

The only issue I had with mame was when my graphics card driver got updated. Mame would not work, and I had to roll back the driver.

[HSC Season #3 - Game #15 Carol vs the WORLD!]

OH! I did not think it were possible! A last minute sniper. LOL!

 

Congratulations, Grand Elf Master WispFollower!

 

There's still a bit more than one hour left. Liduario, are you going to let that stand like that?

CvW Leaderboard updated.

Thank you, DZ. I had a lot of fun and got really addicted to this game. It was an honor to play in this contest with all of you!

Give me presents or give me DEATH.

[5 new games Pre-Order! - CollectorVision FALL NEWS!]

Anyone else still waiting for their games to show up? Frustrating to read this thead. I'm getting a little worried now.

 

- Lasermouse

 

I am still waiting, as well.

[Multi-platform HSC?]

Good idea. We just need a volunteer to run it.

[BurgerTime x 2]

Burgermaster: Champions

Super Pro Burger Battle

Legends of the Bun

Burger Stomp

Burger Scramble

Bun Run

Burgertime: Double Bypass

 

It seems another good option is something with "overtime" in it, as it references the title Burgertime and correlates with the extra levels.

Burgerwalker: Overtime

Burger Panic: Overtime

Peter Pepper's Working Overtime

Burger Time and a Half

[ALL CV Prototype Games Here! (could be, at least)]

Might be a tall order to track anything down about Pizza Time. As far as I know, it was planned to be a Coleco release, but was originally planned to be developed by Mattel/Nice Ideas in France. Beyond that there has never been any further news or information as to whether development ever got started.

It sounds like I better start training on how to swing across things using a bull whip. I can't wait to crash through my first castle window.

[ALL CV Prototype Games Here! (could be, at least)]

Anyone want to join me in an Indiana Jones-like quest to find a copy of Pizza Time? It will probably entail sneaking around in castles with tapestries, punching Nazis, and more than a few chase scenes. Don't forget to bring bullets in case some guy threatens us with a fantastic display of swordsmanship.

[Do you own an arcade machine?]

I saw an amazing Tapper cabinet on ebay recently. It was mint condition, with original parts and side art. Tapper is a great looking machine with brass drink holders and a foot rail.. I wish I had one.

[ALL CV Prototype Games Here! (could be, at least)]

The Joust prototype was released in rom format many years ago and was even made available in the early 2000's in cart form by C.G.E. as well as AtariAge. This particular Joust prototype, however, does not contain any sound effects or music. It is widely known that one person does have all the separate sound code for the game, but is not willing to share it with the community.

 

What is the motivation to hold on to the last piece of a puzzle?

[ALL CV Prototype Games Here! (could be, at least)]

I just came across a huge list of protos for cv.. It says Joust was possibly going to be released in 2012.. What happened? Also, I want Pizza Time!

[Please help me determine which Flashback 4 games may be a bit "violent"]

Funny, this just popped up on techcrunch today.

 

http://techcrunch.co...-sense-violent/

It seems some of the people commenting on the article need to work on their reading comprehension. That was a good read, and I thank you for posting it. Historically, banning art to "save people" has proven only to backfire. I hope intelligent people keep voicing their opinions in the future, defending video games from crusaders who think they know how billions of other people should spend their time on earth. None of this is directed at the original poster, just general musings.

[CIB games that you have always wanted to own?]

I used to watch ebay all the time, searching for perfect condition cib nes games. I got some fantastic items, but I had to stop buying, and eventually stop watching. I can't bid on everything, and it became too painful to watch incredible deals going by all the time. For the final purchase, I went out with a bang and got a mint condition Adventure Island 3. I was looking for that condition for years: crisp corners, plastic still on the box, barely slit to be opened, all inserts, and the lid looks like it has only been opened a few times.

 

I have a sizeable list of games I want in the condition I described. Near the top are Zombie Nation, Little Ninja Brothers, and all the KOEI games I can find (I only have a few). I think it will take me more than a few years to hunt those down.
