I can contribute an answer to the skip level trick on Crazy Kong. It's this simple, if you plan on having your score recognized in the Twin Galaxies Book of World Records, then I suggest the trick isn't used. Even know players used it in the arcade, so did players use the no-fire trick on Galaga and managed to have their 10's of millions of point scores printed in video games and Joystick magazines back in the days. Their will be a section on the next book dedicated just for MAME. ALL GAMES WILL BE PLAYED ON THE RECOMMENDED SETTINGS and if it doesn't say anything about using the skip level trick then I recommend playing without it. NO Galaga scores will make the book or web page and will get NO recognition if they have been suspected to be done with the no fire trick, I think this should apply with Crazy Kong. If it becomes a bigger issue, I will call Walter Day and discuss this with him. Also, just a reminder, I know for a fact that the majority of scores derived from www.classicgaming.com/snipersarcade/ and www.sniperarcade.com/cubeman/mame.txt will make the book for sure because of how carefull they've been looked at. If you have a score that you want to see in the book, send the inp to anyone of these 2 pages and if Mark and Ron varify the inp and find it meets the criteria of TG, and it makes the top ten list, then it's in the book. Their are alot of really good players and scores on MARP but with all the contraversy going on over the past few months, I just decided to take a pause for a while like Angry did untill I can truley believe inps will be done without any form of cheating, or anything that alters the game in any manner, othrwise I will just play and build up my inp folder and wait for the right time to upload them.(posted 9495 days ago)Regards, Steve Krogman
