Vocelli Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone... Gather 'round.... It is time for Medal Winner Picks!!! We have some great ones this year!

Rogerpoco Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Well, Ok. I'll let it go, but for this week, ZilchSr, you are relegated to my fifth Best Friend, tho that's usually a "group" I don't have numbers on. Bite Me. Sheesh. (anyone taking this too seriously doesn't know me well, I swear, but I still had to say something...) Friggin River Raid? There are hundreds and hundreds of 2600 games, and you are making us play River Raid... I guess that's what I get for Checkers... A little more seriously-I do have a new patch connection, that is willing to work with me, and River Raid is one I don't have, that he has available to me-wasn't a priority before, but I bet I purchase it before this week is up, so Thanks for that! But not thanks for River Raid. Again. Bite Me. *Edit* Lol, the bonus points... Not that anyone will do it, but Vocelli, you might want to consider also awarding that to anyone tying him, because... You can't do better than perfect!!! Edited July 9, 2020 by Rogerpoco 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Oh heck yes! I love River Raid! Unfortunately I'm not very good at it (my all time personal best high score is only 39,340) but I'm still going to have a ton of fun playing this round, and I think I'll be really happy if I can just beat my current personal best score. Even if I can't though, it should still be a lots of fun playing. Great pick ZilchSr! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Whew! It took a good two and a half hours of practice tonight but I finally beat my all time high score of 39,340 in River Raid, and by a good 50,000 points! Even if I don't improve any more past this I'm happy for this round. River Raid (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 89,880 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I need technical help from the experts here. My CX-40, connected through my Stelladaptor, into my PC's USB just stopped working yesterday. I hadn't changed any emu settings. When I unplug the Stelladaptor USB from the PC USB while Stella is on the menu screen, the emu just closes. If I do it while River Raid is on the screen, nothing happens. Then, when I press the joystick button the emu closes. When I plug the Stelladaptor USB into the PC USB, the PC makes the chime that means it recognizes the device. River Raid works with keyboard controls, so I know the game is actually running. If I can't get this working my season is going to come to a crashing halt. Thanks in advance for any suggested solutions. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
