QT won't like this but it needs to be said.(posted 9428 days ago)TgMame versions will be hacked but i think the next version should at least last 3 month with out being knowingly hacked, a year maybe till someone who's a "dumb" enough hacker (like me) actually tells everyone that it can be hacked. TG3MAME was just too incredibly easy to hack, the next version you will need to steal mark's to hack it. And i hope no one wants to cheat that bad to do that. I figure the "hacking" for the next tgmame version will be mark's careless ness to accidentally leak out the source to someone who is "interested, but would never release it to someone else." This i hope wouldn't happen but probably will.
Old TGMAME Scores wouldn't be wiped out just because a new tgmame version comes out; At the time when a new version of tgmame comes out older TGMAME recordings would simply not be accepted in the future.
How can users "pressure" other players into using TgMame, that sounds very elitist and impolite to new users who just have regular mame and just want to upload mame recordings. If you are going to create new stringent rules on a game, you can't just wipe out scores that are already in the game you have to make a new game with harder settings, for the "elite" to upload in.
You need both paradigms (regular mame upload ability for new/old users and tgmame upload ability for competative users) and you can't combine these two paradigms in one leaderboard or one setting of games. Even though i think one setting difficult (TG) setting of all games would be great, it doesn't look politically correct to do.
