This vote is cancelled and will not be accounted.(posted 9217 days ago)I made the position of both the MARP Community and the Editors, as well as the Official MARP Rules, very clear in previous posts, as well as what an acceptable solution would be (read the pc_10 posts re: dip switch settings)
If it is not clear enough for you, Tommi, from the rules page:
2. If MAME's goal, as Nicola Salmoria has stated, is to emulate the arcade game as closely as possible, then MARP's goal is to emulate the experience of "watching a virtual master play an arcade game", true to the arcade experience, as closely as possible. This has led to the following rulings:
a) Only one credit per game shall be permitted.
This is the last post I will make on this topic, as I'm sick of the pointles rhetoric from Nintendo players who want to bend the rules, as JSW stated, just so they can show-off on SMB. You'll all get your chance on the vs. driver. Since when did completing a game become more important than performing your best on one credit?
Furthermore, I might ask how many of you are actually getting 90% speed on this game. Anybody feel like recording on MAMETG3, and we'll do a precise frame count?
If this is not satisfactory, and you for some reason CANNOT wait one beta release, then we will have an official vote, including ACTUAL SUGGESTED SETTINGS for time, instead of 'OTHER'. And I can already confidently tell you what the outcome of that vote will be.
I'm thoroughly heartened to see how inspired players are to throw out two years of tradition here when it becomes inconvenient to finishing a console game. So inspired, that I feel sick to the heart. That's all I have to say.
gb9, please e-mail me tomorrow. we need to talk.
