2. Psycho-Nics Oscar recordings on MAME36 Final should be banned. I dunno about Choplifter, maybe somebody tried to frameskip a playback of a recording on a new version and then assumed that it didn't work on that version... for a lot of those Sega games you have to playback with the same frameskip it was recorded at, changing it will "break" it.(posted 9338 days ago)3. Undecided on the quiz games, I don't play any of em...
4. I'd like to see different settings for sports games, but yes this would have to be decided on a game-by-game basis. I guess it depends on how interested people are in seeing different settings for games.
5. What's this about Magical Drop 2 and 3? haven't those games been split up enough?!
7. I think clearing the NVRAM should be required for any game that has one. If possible, try to use an older version of MAME that supports the game. NVRAM was introduced in m36b14, so I've been using m36b13 to record games that need an .NV file on the latest versions.
8. I'm all for banning the bowling/"easy shot" games.
miscellaneous issue... am I the only one that thinks that "TG Settings" for Bad Dudes / Dragon Ninja is utterly stupid? Continue until the game is over, what the hell is that? In Bad Dudes your score will always wind up at 999,999 by game's end, so there's a free 1st place for anyone willing to play through the game. I don't know why those are the "official" TG settings for the game, it sounds like someone screwed up along the way.
