It has to be approved before it shows there.

**CrispyChicken** · 09-29-2010, 09:01 PM

Oh ok, it usually shows a zero first and then when its approved, the zero changes. At least thats what I remembered.

**Tails** · 09-29-2010, 09:15 PM

Kong fixed some bugs/made changes recently.

**CrispyChicken** · 09-29-2010, 09:21 PM

Ok thanks Kong and Tails!

**Kong** · 09-29-2010, 10:48 PM

Scores are treated as zeros until approved and zeros no longer show in most recent score list.

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Mr. Do! - Highscores

It's always nice to add 7 million to my score XD I think I deserve Score of the Year for that :P

**Tails** · 10-02-2010, 09:04 PM

Fixed and how did that happen?

**elrod21** · 10-03-2010, 12:15 AM

So I have a question. Now both on DJ boy and Black Tiger I have given a screen shot to show I have beaten the game, but I did not get a Mastery tag for it.

Is there something else I need to do that I am missing?

Whoever scored your games was lazy and didn't watch the movie or read the end of game text. Both fixed.

To increase your chances of a mod catching it without you having to bring it up, post all mastery submission screenshots in this thread.

**elrod21** · 10-04-2010, 01:48 PM

Thanks Seahawk!

Are you able to master Flash games and get credit for it?

**Kugyince** · 10-07-2010, 07:06 PM

No, you can't get mastery for a flash game. This isn't because they are flash games but because we are unable to validate their authenticity.

**CrispyChicken** · 10-07-2010, 08:23 PM

Alright because I noticed someone had Canyon Glider mastered and its a flash game. It says it on their arcade stats.

**Kugyince** · 10-07-2010, 08:38 PM

Looking into it.

**elrod21** · 10-12-2010, 11:40 PM

I have a question. I noticed a few scores lately being accepted on the basis that the score rolled over. I wasn't aware that rolled over scores were recognized, otherwise I could have run the score in Colecovision Donkey Kong much higher.

I wouldn't have bothered getting as close to the roll-over without going over. (In fact I had rolled it over once already with that score and went back around to have the score show that so my score would have actually been 199900)

Are they accepted and if so how do you confirm the roll-over as I can play that game for hours rolling it over and over again.

**Slime Slayer** · 10-12-2010, 11:43 PM

I might be corrected here, but I think a rolled over score will only count for mastery.

The MAME/MESS emulators record your game input while you play. This input is submitted along with a screenshot when you submit your score. That way a mod can play back the input and verify your score. This was put in place to combat cheats. But it is also used to verify rollover scores for high score tracking and for mastery.

**Kong** · 10-13-2010, 12:51 AM

When you roll over a score you should post here just to make sure it is noticed.

**elrod21** · 10-13-2010, 07:50 AM

Well explained. Now I have work to do.

**Tails** · 10-13-2010, 08:07 AM

Get on it Scooby.

**elrod21** · 11-27-2010, 11:40 AM

Can someone explain to me why Donkey Kong 7800 and Spy Hunter 2600 are considered Farms? I just don't see how they are farm-able.

**Tails** · 11-27-2010, 11:59 AM

7800 and 2600? When they were enabled default is farm. If the mod doesn't edit that too it will automatically say that.

**elrod21** · 11-27-2010, 07:50 PM

Thanks for the explanation Tails. So could someone mark them as not Farms please.

**Kugyince** · 11-27-2010, 08:02 PM

Done and done Elrod.

Sorry about Tails, he strictly "confirm issue yet not resolve issue" it seems.
