Nice score Helpman ! Setting the standard Leaderboard updated

Looking forward playing Nitro Ball. I've played this game a couple of times before and you've started with a nice score Han ! Good luck everyone GC

Congratulations Celly ! I'll definitely try improving my score on Galaga ! It's a real challenge beating Celly's score but I'm up for it Looking forward playing the new Game of the Month: Nitroball. Good luck everyone ! GC

Nice improvement on your score helpman! Getting pretty close to my second place I'm glad you've found a solution for saving a snapshot! If I finally decide to build a cab I'll probably ask you how you managed to accomplish all of this: using a combo of fraps, teamviewer, xpadder, access to wifi and google drive. NICE Thanks! GC Updated OP with new hi-score by helpman

Hi Helpman, we'll add the game to "Poll for the month of: July" Maybe Wonder Boy 3 will be selected for Game of the Month if it gets enough votes GC

> Updated Leaderboard ! We welcome our new Hi-score contestant: helpman ! Thanks for joining The more the merrier GC

> Updated OP with new hi-score by helpman

@ Helpman > looks like you've submitted a screenshot of Donkey Kong in this Mario Bros thread.....it's the same picture and hi-score as you donkey kong submission Did you make a mistake uploading your hi-score of Mario Bros. ? Hope to hear from you GC

> Updated OP with new hi-score by helpman and rtkiii Thank you guys!

Helpman, is our guide maybe a solution ? > link It's a nice solution for saving your hi-score screen and you can also change the path of the snaps you save GC

I'm also playing Centipede without trackball. Using a plain old keyboard Pretty hard game

I agree with Han. Your suggestion is pretty close to what the ultimate goal would be for us. Maybe some of the GameEx and Database guru's could help us out creating something like this. I'll think about posting a request. I think we've now setup a very nice Hi-Score Competition. The more interest we generate the more chance we would have reaching that ultimate goal. So the more contestants the merrier We should all just have fun playing meanwhile and dream that GameEx would be able to do something like this someday GC

Thank you for your enthusiasm Helpman. 3 submissions in one day. Great work Btw: I assume you have used "Difficulty: Hard" for Mario Bros ? Cheers, GC

Hi Helpman, I've edited my post #63 Thank you for your Galaga submission. I'll update the hi-score table and Leaderboard today Your hi-score position on each game will determine your Leaderboard total. The more games you play the better your Leaderboard position Every hi-submission is welcome. You don't have to beat the best. Most important: have fun playing these arcade classics GC

Hi Helpman, I've edited my post #44 Thank you for your Donkey Kong submission. I'll update the hi-score table and Leaderboard today Thanks for joining @rtkiii: thank you for your submission. Nice score ! GC

Hi Helpman! First of all: welcome to our Hi-Score Competition. I'm glad you've joined The more the merrier About "not changing any default settings" You can always submit a hi-score. When you want your name and hi-score to be published in our Hi-Score Table and Leaderboard you'll have to use the settings of post #1 of the particular game-thread. However: If you've never changed any game settings MAME uses the default game settings. What does this mean...? Galaga: the game settings in post #1 do not match the default game settings. By default the game willl setup into EASY mode. Our game settings require you to use HARDEST mode. If you have never changed Galaga's settings we can unfortunately not publish your submission in our hi-score table and leaderboard. We want to create a fair competition and therefore everybody has to use the same game settings as published in post #1 of each game-thread. I hope you understand Donkey Kong: the game settings in post #1 match the default game settings. So, if you have never changed these settings we'll be glad to publish your hi-score in the hi-score table and leaderboard. Please let us know... Centipede: the game settings in post #1 do not match the default game settings. By default the game willl setup into EASY mode. Our game settings require you to use HARD mode.

Again, you can always play and submit your hi-score but if you want your name and hi-score to be published in the hi-score table and leaderboard, you'll have to use the game-settings of post #1. I hope you understand. Other than that: glad you've joined Thanks, GC
