Alright, I`ve heard enough. I once again thank Ben Jos and Skito for their input. It`s too confusing an issue for me. So from now on, I`ll use MAME36 beta 11 , which when recording, uses the normal INP procedure..i.e records/scores are set to 'reset mode' , if you will. It means I`ll lose out on a lot of potential score on 1st round, but what the hell.(posted 9287 days ago)Maybe getting scores using this method will set a precedent. I`m fairly sure the TG WR on this game (arcade) was gotten wherby the 1st round Pole Vault top 3 were @5.93m, hence extra score. Thats one for the TG judges. This is an Action Replay site, and therefore what you record is what other people should see. I`ve no probs with that. So therefore any score you see from me on this game will be as if the arcade machine was set to " erase on reset"..i.e doesn`t record WR`s/scores etc....( less potential score ).
538k ? Yes , possible even using this method.
Thanks for everyones input.
