Use Percentage Scoring System (top score=100%): YES Allow scores outside of top 3 to count: YES Allow scores from games in current betas: YES (see * below) Allow scores from games recorded before ROM changes: NO Enforce a minimum req'd score (e.g. 10% of top) or only top X: NO Allow unethical play/point leeching/slow rates/sound off: NO (see ** below)(posted 9776 days ago)*So if our favorite game gets added to MAME 0.36 Beta 1, we have to wait until the final version to submit scores? Sometimes a fully working game is added to a beta, and sometimes an incomplete, not properly emulated version is left in the final. I'd say "judge this on a game-by-game basis" but I think we'll be doing enough of that if these changes take effect.)
**Sound off? guh? I know that leaving sound on or off can make a difference in the playback, but turning sound off speeds up the game and lets them play at an acceptable speed in some games! If the recording is affected by sound, just say so in the description. Simple as that)
Clone Issues: In general, clones will not count (with exceptions below): YES Allow clones with clear differences in gameplay (e.g. Trog): YES Allow clones when originals aren't working (e.g. Choplifter): YES Allow clones in multi-game variations (e.g. bowlrama): YES Allow clones--harder or sped-up (e.g. Asteroids, Ms. Pac Turbo): NO Allow originals that are actually clones (e.g. Hyper Olympic): NO
