I did not partcipate in the current tourney for several reasons. One being not being able to record and playback my own recordings, on some games. Hopefully its just a -autoframeskip problem, I'm still wondering why my frontline recording doesnt work in win32 but works in Xmame.... Anyhoo.(posted 9597 days ago)My take on tournament settings should be set to the absolute hardest, no extra lives, faster than crud, what not.
Also: Longevity games should be kept to a minimum. Galaga being one of the lengevity games. A game that takes more than an hour to play should not be in the tournament.
Pattern games should be left out alltogether, Pacman, Digdug, what not. Or left to the barest minimuns. I do not think there where any in this tourney, just thinking of future tourneys.
Keep in mind, some people may not have super fast machines. A minimum spec may have to be set for tournament play if some games are chosen. I think the current set of games did not have this possible problem, just thinking of future tourneys.
