[contestants needed for MAME contest!]

Super cool but I'd be worthless.

 

Me too, I'm still doing it.

 

There's atleast 5 really strong teams in this years tourney so we're aiming for 7th place or so. Please join in, and if you do: Nominate a few games.

 

/o/

[Virtual Jaguar 2.1.1 released!]

Nice to see continued support for VJ.

 

About the emulator closing itseld: I have the same problem with 2.1.0 from time to time using Win 7, X64. Another thing i've noticed is that if i have X-Split (streaming/recording software) running it refuse to run at all.

 

Off to play some homebrews!

[Wolf IX Video Armageddon 2]

you have too many names lol

sixx on highscore

slaytanic here

and tbe at ru

 

I'm a man with many names. Hahaha..

[Wolf IX Video Armageddon 2]

Lucky BAZ showed me this, i'm in on whatever.

 

Missions sounds fun, but could be a nightmare if you get really stuck on something or simple hate the game(s).

 

Ladders: Those darn people over at RU and DKF are too good.

 

Knockout and Single IGBY sounds nice.

 

I'll vote on RU.

 

I'm "TBE" there.

"Contest Ends

Am i missing something here?

 

EDIT: Aha, game 9 bonus.. thingy..

[Nibbli : Son of Nibbler]

Will there be a ROM released for us poor fella's that don't own a Coleco?

[Season 3/ Week 25 ~ The NEW HSC ~ Strategy X]

Geez, this is one hard game.. I'll only aim for 100k for this one.

[7800 HSC Season 7 Game 9 Poll]

From what i read Loderunner is a unreleased game from the 80's. It was featured in magazines at the time, maybe it was finished but never released due to poor Atari 7800 sales?

[7800 HSC Season 7 - Game 8 (Frenzy)]

Frenzy: 10,198

 

 

Berzerk: 6,600

 

 

Edit: Posted here 23:30 Central European Time. Posted on HighScore.Com 23:40. Hope that's OK?

 

Edit 2: Played on WolfMESS 0.153 and recorded with X-Split.

[7800 HSC Season 7 - Game 8 (Frenzy)]

Frenzy: 8028

 

Berzerk: 4910

 

I'm gonna try the EMU7800 emulator, which seems to support the Atari 7800 highscore cart. Prosystem for Wii supports it, heck.. It even asks you if you wanna use it the first time you run the emulator, but no support for the Windows version unfortunately. =/

 

[7800 HSC Season 7 - Game 8 (Frenzy)]

First scores. I will change emulator from Prosystem Wii to Prosystem PC due to the fact i can't see the enemy fire from the blue enemys on my CRT.

 

Edit: Oh, and i'm 'Sixx' aka TBE on highscore.com.

[Internet Gaming Bash of the Year]

Yeah, nice scores Don Pedro.

 

Note: Do! Run Run is now 5 men.

[Internet Gaming Bash of the Year]

With the "last minute" addition of another team, and 4 more games i think we need better organization. I have a hard to seeing everyone on the team submitting scores for every game, right? RIGHT?

Some are better at shooters, some like driving games and some only play the "real" classics from the early 80's.

Some need ROMs even.

I suggest a mailinglist for those that want to participate on a more serious level, sharing tips and strategy's, having a discussion who's more likely to score high on game X etc etc.

Wofman: Team Highscore.Com so far:

 

Sixx, S.BAZ, BarryBloso.

 

Looking forward to the compo!

[Is Playing For High Scores A Pain In the Butt?]

I mostly play classics which are meant to be played for score so for me it's always been natural to keep track of my highscores. I find it fun to compete for scores, it brings an extra element of excitment to the game. If i wanna relax i play some modern crap.

[What have you actually PLAYED tracker for 2014 (Season 7)]

Forgot to take notes this week. =/

 

Been a slow week, a little C64, a little PSX, mostly A2600 (Space Invaders, Q'Bert (what a great port, even i can beat a couple levels on B setting), Asteroids) and various MAME games and i've spent some time on various shooters for the X68K..

 

.. And Frogger for various systems. Still sucks, still wanna rule.

[PAL60 ROMS]

Thanks for the clarification. I got 25 games when i bought my 2600, now when i've looked up these in the database it seems all are actually NTSC carts which explains why some display wrong colours (like a purple background in Pac-Man instead of blue).

 

As my TV support 60hz (i'm very happy to own a late 4:3 28" CRT TV with 60hz support) i assume my Space Invaders NTSC cart plays at the same speed as my US friend.

 

Coming from the C64 scene i know alot of games and crack intros / demos is a bitch to either PAL och NTSC fix. Kudos to all making these PAL 60 ROMs available to us PAL land peeps!

[PAL60 ROMS]

Super sweet, great work!

 

I have a noob question. Wont my PAL console run NTSC ROMs off the Harmony card even tho my TV support 60hz?

 

Are some games running at the same speed on both PAL and NTSC consoles?

 

Sorry to hijack the thread but it suddenly striked me when i beat a US friends highscore on Space Invaders.

[What have you actually PLAYED tracker for 2014 (Season 7)]

Hi Remar, nice meeting you.. And very nice of you to make a version without any flashing. Please tell your mates to post their games as well. Some other guy which i belive was your buddy talked about C64 dev, please send me a PM and we can talk more about that.

 

I've submitted the game to highscore.com (still not in the database tho) and look forward to compete with all the Atari freaks over there.
