Deleting Recordings

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

Is it not possible to delete multiple recordings. I figured since I was returning to MARP, I would try and get rid of my scores that didn't play back. Problem is, only one of them actually deleted (lastbld2) Breakers and Breakers Revenge, for example, merely dropped my score to a much lower one (possibly an earlier entry?) but did not delete. I copied the modification text that Zwaxy's script sends you on my SECOND attempt to delete the game, and noted that the score that it was trying to change is still my highest (1.6 mil) instead of the one listed at MARP (the possible earlier upload??? at either 200 or 400K (I forget)) My second attempt to delete met with no more success than my first.

Is this a possiblt side-effect of the script storing your previous scores, or what? I find it somewhat amusing that I'm trying to lower my score and can't. Can anyone come up with a better solution than me editing my score down to 0 or 1?

changed the short name from breakrev to deleted sent an email to John Treadwell (every upload)

sent an email to Buddude1 (any upload which is worth points to the uploader)

sent an email to aec (every upload)

sent an email to Dith (any upload which beats one of your scores)

score 1 for this game (1615190) is yours and it's higher! Changes applied successfully.

I'm not sure that the delete function works (obviously :) But if zwaxy doesn't get back to you, anyone can just change the score to zero and put their alledged score in the comments to manually ban the score you don't feel comfortable having up there.
