Angry is correct. On Mark Longridge's page he does not support all of the roms current to date nor does the TG page because of it being redone at the current moment. I helped iron out a bunch of questions players were having about how to select the correct settings that would be acceptible to Twin Galaxies back a few months ago on this board and I hope that answered them for everyone.(posted 9871 days ago)Basically the message explained how I determined a games settings to be used and classed as "TG" settings. The basic philosophy behind this is simple. Any game which has an even number of setting (ex. 1943- difficulty 1-8) set the difficulty to "4" which is in the middle.
Now, some games have 2 settings where one would be set easier then the other. For example: Kangaroo's difficulty setting is either easy of hard and the next setting which is when a free man will be awarded is none, 10k, 10k and 30k, 20k and 40k. In this situation, being that this game is really hard after a few stages, the setting would be "Easy" instead of hard, but getting a free man would have to be slightly harder to "balance" out the two settings. The setting for extra men would be 20k and 40k instead of a easier setting of 10k and 30k. I hope I'm not confusing everyone :^)
Aventually, I will be helping Walter Day update his settings list to keep with all the games available so far on mame. Right now, it's at a stand still for another few weeks because the sight is being redone in a very big way.
If anyone has a problem with knowing what would be the best way to set a games setting please e-mail me and we can disscuss the best possible settings that will comply with TG and Walter Day for his next book.
Regards to all!
