First I just wanna say that all this quibbling and dickering over TG is very good for developement of the high scoring community!!! I, for one, take my gaming in both fun and seriousness (jeez I musta put in a million quarters in those games) and would like to mame and this site develope into something larger than life. Nuff said on that.(posted 9867 days ago)Now for the nitty gritty :-/ Frames per second: Stephen you mention that your into the emulated games for TG because it is most verifiable means of proof of high scores. I agree, but it also offers the most opportunities for hackering and cheating :-( Right now I think the most obvious method of increasing ones highscore is playing at a much lower game speed. One more item that should be listed with TG settings for emulated games is the FPS currently being returned by mame at the closure of a gaming session (it would be real nice if it could somehow be built into the inp file). This may sound like a pain, but come on get real! How many games out there play the same at different speeds. Smash TV plays pretty slow on my PII266 and I know my scores are gonna be better on it by selecting 16bit sound and video. Just sit back and rack up a huge score! >:-( I realize that some of the older systems may not be able to run the newer emulated games at 60fps but you have to have a level playing field for all gamers or else it's not true.
Ahhhhhenneyway that's my 2 nickels. Am I right or just venting?
