Guwange contest @ Arcade Extreme

RotateMe · Post by **RotateMe** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 12:52 pm

I'd love to participate but this month and next month is just too busy for me (and I'm in another tournament anyway). But have some fun! And could you please link to the highscore / checkpoint / whatever threads on this forum to yours? I'd like to keep track of what's going on there and maybe try to beat some of the low tear scores just for fun.

I'm still messing around with DonPachi, but I'll play.

Rotate: yeah, we can discuss the contest even here

Sik: looks like we have another top tier in, this is gonna be extremely cool

I don't feel like posting a direct link with a rom inside (though I don't think there would be any problem), but in this page (last post by Neverland) you can find all you need for the contest if you are a Windows user:

Please help debugging the rules (even the english of the rules, lol) and the selected mame

Sorry NEV, but certain Cave scoring engines leave me cold

. This one is too regimented for my taste. I sold my Guwange board a long while ago.

Enjoy the contest! I'm sure that Icarus will give you a tough time

damn, i din't understand how turn on autofire for C?

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:47 pm

Press F2 for about 2 seconds during the beginning, I don't know exactly when but you should be able to spot it by yourself. At that point just enable the autofire from the menu

P_HAT · Post by **P_HAT** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 9:12 pm

man, you save my life %)
Earlier I never used mame and on other emulators have got used that the menu is caused at once %)
I also could think that the button should be clamped.
LOLZ, now I am happy %)))

Uhm, this is a weird problem! Again, I'm not a mame expert and I don't know what to say atm, I'll try to get some info...

I had the same prob at the stgt CHI, Icarus explains what to do in the link.

RotateMe · Post by **RotateMe** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:04 pm

I see a problem with the MIPA-chart. If I understood right, for the Official Score Chart only your best score of all checkpoints is important. What would prevent me to post a score of 5 on the first checkpoint to get a VERY great improvement %age posting my best scores on the next checkpoints? You should have some minimal requirements or something else to prevent that. Maybe only the top ten scores on the current and on the last checkpoint should be taken into account. But that would not make too much sense because I guess the MIPA award is exactly for those players who have not so good results on the normal score chart.

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:32 pm

Thanks for this RotateMe!
First of all, there is a thing I'll fix on the rules tonight. There will be a "Best start" prize for low tiers as well. This should prevent players to post low scores on purpose. Anyway, the prize for the MIPA chart is secret. Do your best is way better, trust me. And if you still want to post a low score just to improve it brutally, you can do it once, the next time woulnd't be so easy!
And again: if you plan to post just 100K, then 200K and so one to have a 100% of improvement every time... Ehm, your victory wouln't be so exciting

So, this system is not perfect but it still seems good enough, I think.

Good to hear opinions about the rules, keep 'em coming!

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:37 pm

CHI, try this, whatever it means:

RyanDG · Post by **RyanDG** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:54 pm

I would love the opportunity to take part in something like this. I haven't played the game much myself so I'm probably going to be embarrassed, but whatever works, right? ;)

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 7:01 pm

No prob Ryan, just say "Hello!" here:

No problem, and I think you're right, straightening the rules to much sucks and it's always okay to count on the players will to make this tournament as enjoyable as always.

CHI · Post by **CHI** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:49 pm

cheers for the link 'freddiebamboo' but the mame options are slightly different.....

yes LUN thats the exact same settings that i have but its still tated..... i even tried rotation on none but still the same.....

i might have to give up, not even started..... i hate being a noob.....

freddiebamboo · Post by **freddiebamboo** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:28 pm

Now I've shagged up my settings trying to get it yoko full screen and I can't even get it back running in a window that isn't stretched....

I've checked my settings with my wolf106 and I can't see anything different. I think I'll stop messing about with it until someone solves this mystery

P_HAT · Post by **P_HAT** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:41 pm

its lol, i just find what my real name can be easy translate to japanese using 4 hieroglyphs.
It is very convenient ^^

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:52 pm

Guys, don't give up and try this:
http://www.arcade-extreme.com/contest/g ... 099-vc.zip

This should work, at least I hope ^_^;;
Swap the rom from the other mame to this one and see what happens!

LUN, I'm getting a corrupt zip file on that link - I downloaded a couple just to make sure I got 100% of it.

Is anybody else having problems with wolf99 aside from CHI and myself?

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 12:45 am

Probably you need to rename it from .zip into .exe. That's a possibility, otherwise tomorrow we'll fix this

freddiebamboo · Post by **freddiebamboo** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 1:42 am

There is no rush lun, I can still score just as badly on my other version of mame

I should be back up to speed by the first input deadline though - I hate having to re-learn a game I haven't touched in ages

Neverland · Post by **Neverland** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:27 am
