Hi.

I wanted to play pole position but it seems a new world rom has been added with mame 0.150.

0.150: Andrew Welburn, The Dumping Union added Pole Position (World). Verified the PP2-10.2H and some minor rom name corrections. Added DIP locations to the Pole Position sets [Brian Trona]. Changed 'Pole Position' to clone 'Pole Position (Japan)'. Renamed (polepos) to (poleposj), (polepos1) to (poleposa1) and (poleposa) to (poleposa2). Fixed rom names.

I just want to know what is the correct version to use.

Cheers

i have the set in the game list i think it should be polepos1

Hey guys, I'm getting an error message for attempting to submit a Mars Matrix score. Just so y'all know, the higher scores on this game will be in the TWELVE digit range.

In the game list it's written polepos which is the name of the actual new romset so, please precise it in the game list :-)

[D.B. Cooper]

This probably explains why I couldn't get Pole Position to work in MAME .157.

[Barra]

Note that some (lucky) people will be playing this on a cab, so whatever one they are using we should try and do the same.

Just found out about this today; is it too late to join?

We call dibs on Zerst!

I accidentally submitted a Zoo Keeper score to RU that wasn't as good as my best (that score and my best score are both awaiting approval). I'm pretty sure I submitted the earlier better score (I already have an approved score so neither nevew submission is showing up). If I've got two Zoo Keeper scores waiting, could you please ignore the lower one?

Just for full clarification. For Galaga when you play, there is a a slow fire rate and fast fire rate option when you start the game.

We are playing using the 'slow rate', correct?

[gastrainga]

Correct it is slow fire. The machine should also be set on Difficulty Hardest and be set to only give you a total of 5 lives for the whole game. You can check if it is on difficulty Hardest if the enemies start going fast during the end of level swarm on level 8. On the other difficulties they won't start going fast on the swarm until later.

[DJWheels]

What's with the "no saucer hunting" on Asteroids. If we're looking to eliminate the marathon game, the 5 lives rule has already taken care of that. And no, just because there isn't a timer, doesn't mean you can do it forever. The enemy saucer will eventually shoot down or crash into the last rock if, it is not already hit by one of your own stray bullets or your ship inadvertenly crashes into it. No offense to DK players (as I love that game as well) but saucer hunting is a much more natural part of the game and there is a lot more skill required to suacer hunting, than say standing next to kong's foot or near a spring and jumping up and down for 100 points, but this is allowed. What gives?

[CaptainJivePants]

Does anybody know about differences in 2p versus 4p Sunset Riders? We have a 4p at GGA, and folks seem to think it is equivalent, at least based on home versus arcade play. We also know difficulty increases as you add more players, which shouldn't be an issue since it's a 1p score. Anybody know more they want to contribute on this? Anybody object to us using the 4p version as long as the settings are the same otherwise?

[GimmeClassics]

Question about Toobin' > Looking at the scores already submitted use of warp zones is allowed I guess ? Please confirm....

[Wolf]

toobin warps are allowed
i think they are the same jive
but asteroids doesnt have a timer in dk you cant hump kong leg for hours

I'm fairly sure the only difference is the player selection. In the 2 player version player 1 can select any character. In the 4p version the selection is hard wired to each control set. Most games like this, X-Men, TMNT, Simpsons, have no other differences besides player selection.

But why would you rather use the 4p version? Seems simpler to just have everyone use the same rom. ssridersabd.

[Wolf]

he was going to use it cause the cab at gga is 4p

So if i'm right, the romset to use after mame 0.150 is poleposj.

Renamed (polepos) to (poleposj)

In the site the mame version is pre 0.150 no ?

[Wolf]

DK has a time countdown per level and you can only hump kong's leg when you manage to "trap" all flames. Imho, I think you should allow jumping his leg as long as the countdown allows you. I have never played in a competition where this is not allowed.

RU is 135.
