I don't know, I think I have the same problems with that elevator stage as well. I'm not done trying though!

Sweet! 3rd place out of the gates. I'm on vacation this week so I can get a few more games in.

Thank you. The two games I'm pretty good at are Bank Panic and Asteroids.

upped my score a little

here's my try, I can do better

My entry for Mr. Do!

here's my attempt:

my first attempt

Here's my entry, not #1 but a good start:

on a kind of related note..rebooted my MAME machine and GameEX seems to be working just fine, odd

dumb question, but is there a list of all game in the hi-score challenge? I'd like to give Asteroids and Galaga a try

I think my all-time high is 1.7 or 2.7 million

Hmm, I was just getting warmed up it seems....

the worst thing is when the timebomb is ticking down and the doors keep opening, preventing you from getting to the bomb. man, I love this game

First game for the hi-score challenge, woohoo!

it's been so long since I launched MAME without GameEX that it took me a while to figure it out. Got vanilla MAME working so I will soon be submitting my high score!

great, just when I decide to give it a whirl and go for a high score, my arcade machine/GameEX is now booting to a black screen. I don't know why, it worked fine a few weeks ago [EDIT] my log shows the last 2 lines as: Initialization OK! Starting GameEX! Testing Main Loop Once: Processing Frame

altho it doesn't seem to be saving highscores like I hoped. I added the hi_153.txt patch [edit] nm, dummy me forgot the hiscore.dat file. all is well

Linking mame64.exe... Finished! 0 Hours 12 Minutes and 9 Seconds Elapsed. it worked, just played a few games! A sincere thank you for everyone who took a moment to walk me through this!

My 2nd favorite game, I gotta get in on this

tthurman: 6mins into the compile and it appears to be working, cross your fingers

I've downloaded mingw-mame-20121207.exe from the link in Headkaze step 1. about 5 times now, every time I try to extract it I get from 7zip: c:\mingw-mame-20121207.exe is not a supported archive every download is 258mb I have tried to extract it on 3 different PC's [EDIT] nm, I downloaded it a SIXTH time, and it was 16k bigger than all the other and extracted. compliling as we speak!

for some reason on his step #1 i got a diff file: mingw-mame-w64-20121207.exe I am re-doing step #1 right now (different file) and will give it a go tomorrow (it's late) I appreciate all the help, sincerely
