Information and Questions for the Mods...

**Winnebagel** · 06-07-2009, 04:57 PM

This is an new section where everyone can address questions regarding games that you would like the mods to know about.

Things that should be posted here:
1. Requests to have a game score enabled.
2. Questions about score submissions.
3. Questions and/or remarks about a game being farmable or not.
4. Comments and corrections about game images and descriptions.
5. Comments about games glitching.

Things that do not go here:
1. Issues with ArcadeOX, Java, or Flash should read: http://retrouprising.com/support/ret...support/t2678/
2. Bugs, feedback, and feature requests that involve the site should be posted here instead: http://retrouprising.com/support/ret...-requests/t10/
3. Requests to have games added to the site should be posted here: http://retrouprising.com/video-games...requests/t930/

Of course you can still feel free to PM any of us with questions or concerns as always, but this section will hopefully provide an area where people can discuss issues and ask the mods questions in a forum style format.

Great thread topic!

I was wondering if it's possible to get more pinball games enabled for high scoring. There are 2 in particular:

Dragon's Fury and Phycho Pinball, both for Sega Genesis.

**jim5cents** · 06-07-2009, 07:12 PM

dragon's fury can not be enabled, there are passwords that give you a ton of points and balls

Dragon's Fury Cheats, Codes, and Secrets for Genesis - GameFAQs

psycho pinball can not be enables, there is a password that gives you a free ball unlimited times, i tested this one.

let me talk to the other mods and see if they want to enable them and mark them as farms.

**Kevin** · 06-07-2009, 07:26 PM

Thanks jim5cents.

I just wish there was a way to be able to know if someone uses a cheat code.

I hear you, but there is no current way to know if one is used. I have had to alter some games that I had the High Score in as well because a cheat code or other farm method was found. Overall the best way is to mark something as Farmable and then you can still compete for the high score if you want, but it would only for your own satisfaction.

Stickied.

Test the game. If it has a score then enable scores. Test the cheat codes if they work and don't do anything that is detectable like display the words "debug mode" on the screen or turn your character a different color then mark it as farm.

I actually thought more and Had a reply to myself..

Every game has some way to cheat. not just in code.. its just that players find ways to make tons of points, and tend to upload them on sites like youtube..

If someone wants a high score on say super mario Brothers, they just need to watch a few you tube videos.. and will be farming points like no ones business..

**Dojah** · 06-08-2009, 12:07 PM

I thought I seen a thread for messed up games but I couldnt find it. Hope it's ok to put here. I dont know if this is just my computer or if everyone would have a problem but this games graphics are jumbled all around. Mechanized Attack. It's not a game I would play alot but I figured I would mention it just in case it's an easy fix.

**jim5cents** · 06-08-2009, 12:14 PM

kevin, i have marked both psycho pinball and dragon's fury as farmed games, both have either undetectable passwords or in game cheat codes that can either give you high scores with a ton of balls or unlimited balls.

unfortunately, dragon's fury 2, a game which you have a high score is also farmable as it has an undetectable password for a ton of free balls. i'm not saying that you used it, but if another gamer used the password to take down your score, that wouldn't be fair, so i have to mark it has farmable.

I understand. I was aware of the cheat code. It gives you something like 30 million points and 30 balls. It is kind of a shame though, I must have spent over 10 hours on that game practicing for the high score.... the honest way.

That's the reason why we have to mark games that can be cheated as farmable or score disabled. It's not fair to leave a game like this enabled and people set honest scores only to have someone cheat to get the high score.

This is the correct thread. Any questions about a specific game that would involve a mod taking a look at would go here.

**yoshi_star10** · 06-08-2009, 05:50 PM

i dont know if its just me, but on super mario world, its fine on aox full mode but in score mode the graphics are really badly messed up, the map screen on the 1st world has graphics for bowsers world in it...

**Kugyince** · 06-08-2009, 05:51 PM

I revised Winnebagel's first post to clarify what this topic should be about.

**Winnebagel** · 06-08-2009, 06:05 PM

That works Ten.

**justinm26** · 06-17-2009, 12:47 PM

I just want to request high scores enabled for more games, especially the newly added devils crash.

**Kevin** · 06-17-2009, 04:57 PM

Devil's Crash is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I think it is farmable. If that is the case then it can be marked "high farms".

Justin, try to beat my Dragon's Fury II score for Genesis. It is marked as farmable but I didn't use any cheats for it.

That's correct Kevin. Due to a massive amount of cheats, Devil's Crash can't be enabled for High Scores. However, I did set it to Farmable, so you guys can compete for the High Farm if you would like to.

Yea it's a bummer. Devil's Crash is probably one of the best old school video pinball games. Dragon's Fury (both parts) are great too!

**Winnebagel** · 06-17-2009, 05:08 PM

I agree. Too many pinball games have cheats, so we can't enable most of them

**Kugyince** · 06-18-2009, 11:54 PM

Whenever I try to play the three new NES games; Castlevania 3, StarTropics 1 or 2 I recieve an error message.

Someone else confirm?

I think Kong uploaded them wrong.

**tanc24** · 06-19-2009, 12:32 AM

All three of those games work fine for me, Tenser. I used Aox full mode with Internet explorer.

**Kugyince** · 06-19-2009, 12:35 AM

hmmm...

I'm using the same.

All I get is a message that says DirectInput Failed to Initialize.

Nope, its happening with all arcadeOX NES games.
