Response to sketchy playtactics ? you be the judge

Hmmm, I've been out of the scene a while (playing HalfLife and Baldurs Gate). I come back to find J Gustavo on 40 1st places with only few 2nd and 3rds. Me thinks that someone isn't playing at 100% FPS as some of the scores are amazing.

Of particular interest to me was the Gunsmoke scores as I was a wizard at this game in the arcade. I am astounded by the scores posted - haven't checked out the .inps yet but I'm sure I would be able to tell from the tactics used. Watch this space.

The reason why I can't do gunsmoke on MAME is cos in the arcade you could press multiple fire buttons simutaneously and alter the angle of you shots but it doesn't work on keyboard - shame as its my all time favourite game.

Until the MAME team comes up with FPS rates embedded into the .inps I think we can never be sure of the scores.

If JGustavo did do these scores at 100%FPS and no Autofire then I doff my hat to him, but personally I believe that these weren't achieved at 100%FPS.

Of course if the MAME team do put FPS into .INPS what do we then do with old scores to validate them ??? I would think that I could match if not beat most of my scores again but some of the scores that take hours of playtime may be a right Bast!
