rtkiii Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Man I don't know how you guys do it. I been playing and playing off and on and I finally get above the 4k minimum score to make it onto the game's table. Then I played more and actually got to 1st place on the game and it took out my last score. Anyway. After probably an hour's worth of playing total, the best I could come up with is around 8k. I don't know how you guys are in the +15k range. I suck. dkong0000.pngUsed specified required settings. Reached level 2.Score: 8100Initials: HANInsane torture skills...yeah 15K is nothing compared to the 70k those other dudes have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehuonder Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Funny thing is my second place score was my first game once the competition was announced... I've played about $10 worth of quarters since, and never bested my first score!!! My tips/strategies... Gotta love the hammers for improving your score! And, do one side and then the other on Rivet levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 35,400Took me an hour of trying to finally beat my high score... I even got to see the a level I never saw before! The conveyor belts move back and forth. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Great job ClassicGMR!You're getting better .Conveyer belt stages are cool. When you time it well (I prefer to not use the hammer on these stages) you can pretty fast clear these stages and earn a lot of points Teaser: a player's current hi-score position at each hi-score game will count towards the Leaderboard which will be made public in a few days.Your current no.3 position at Donkey Kong will earn you 50 points for the Leaderboard.Thanks for submitting GC> Updated OP with new link and new high score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's fine EDITED: darn, gameex updating... but soon I'll post my deceiving "lowscore" LOL...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...?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...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 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. If you have never changed Centipedes settings we can unfortunately not publish your submission in our hi-score table and leaderboard.Mario Bros: 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. If you have never changed Mario Bros. settings we can unfortunately not publish your submission in our hi-score table and leaderboard.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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeClassics Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi Helpman, I've edited my post #44Thank 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 helpman: Do you have an extra button on your control panel you're not using, or use rarely? You can map that to a TAB button easy enough in MAME. You'll need to at least have a keyboard temporarily so you can hit TAB to bring up the menu, but then you can set the default button to something else and be able to access it from then on out.Personally, I'd grab a cheap keyboard from somewhere and just have it hooked up all the time. You never know when you'll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpman Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I use both frontal blue buttons pressed at the same time to bring up tab menu, and anyway, set both flipper side nudge buttons for both snapshot and rendered snapshot, but mame places them on the snaps folder, and it's where I have all game's snapshots... it's a mess I have a full romset If I were able to choose a different path for screenshot saving... but couldn't find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Helpman, is our guide maybe a solution ? > linkIt's a nice solution for saving your hi-score screen and you can also change the path of the snaps you save GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
