Response to Hyper Sports + MAME 36 Final

Mmm , ok lets see. If I understand correctly this is what I have to do to submit a 'true' recording.

1) Record + play as normal, not deleting the .nv file

2) Rename (temporarily) the .nv file and then playback my recording.I should see an EXACT replay of my game , score-wise.

3) Zip that INP as per usual + send it in.

4) and if I want to get my scores back, simply restore the.nv.

So if I perform steps 1-3 , the score that is sent in will be the exact score that I got? No extra moles/score? Does it matter what I temporarily rename the .nv file to ?

It`s just that I`ve a week off work, and I`d like to be sure about this, cos I`ll be playing lots of Hyper Sports. After all, I don`t wanna great a good score only for it to be 'reduced'.

But thanks to Ben Jos + Chad for taking the time to figure this out.

As for the arcade scenario , the Pole Vault is the ONLY event that makes a difference score-wise. Take Ben Jos' example. I play a machine with reset records, and Ben Jos plays a machine with the top three Pole Vault records at 5.94m. On the first round I will only have a chance to get two moles. And depending on how high I can jump on the first round will determine how many moles I can try for on the 2nd round, and so on. Ben Jos' however will have about 13 attempts at moles per round ( remember his machine has 5.94m as top 3 ), so basically, yes...the higher the Pole Vault records the easier it is to get more score. But you`ll find that in almost every arcade, the records on Pole Vault were at least 5.93m.

I gotta go ( in work + caught red-handed...)
