I should make an additional clarification.(posted 9107 days ago)Just because someone uses m35tg3.exe doesn't mean a score automatically gets accepted. They still have use MAME TG settings, which was started by Walter Day, and I've added to it over the months. And the judge(s) should use all means possible to establish that the game was running at the correct speed.
I welcome Ron Corcoran and Chris Moore's input for mame high scores. But after all the work I did I'd like to reserve the right to collate all the input from Ron's and Chris' sites into one unified whole. My role in all this is to ensure accuracy. Ron is completely in control of all the Commodore computer scores, and Atari 2600 scores as well. The job of verifying and judging all those scores is his domain, and certainly all those scores will see publication in the second Twin Galaxies book.
Ron's doing a great job promoting and running Deca2000. But I think everyone understands that my input into Deca2000 is to help Ron make everything 100% accurate (or as close as possible) so that all the submissions from Deca2000 do progress cleanly into the 2nd TG book, and that includes all compliant scores from MARP as well (for players who wish to be included of course).
It's a great hobby, and never in my dreams could I predict that all this would happen.
Also, thanks to Chris Moore for including a m35tg3 label in the script for INP submissions, I really appreciate that. Could you update your links though? My site is currently:
