[Final] Internet Gaming Bash of the Year [MAME]

[KRC]

Actually guys dont count me out just yet, I think I'm gonna install MAME on my "Dell Craptop" as my proper setup is currently out of commission.

I should be able to upload some scores soon

[smario]

OK, here's 2 rather lousy scores - but at this stage it's all about the slot filling, right?

(Edit: scores have been submitted to the official scoreboard)

Frogger - 7,020 points

Elevator Action - 9,500 points

[wolfman24]

[ExedExes]

Hello everyone !

All rules, info, games and settings seem to be a bit scattered through all the pages of this thread. So, I felt the need to combine all the replies and write a summary. I think this pretty much covers everything.

@ Wolf > If you want to copy / paste this info to post # 1, please be my guest

5. Teams
---------------------------------------------

1. Contest rules

a. All 24 games will be played for the entire five week period.

You can pick any of the 24 games. The best 5 hi-scores of your Team (best score per player) will count for the general leaderboard.

b. Please submit early and often and do not hold on to scores.
Submissions are for games played within the contest time frame. Please submit early and often so we may maintain an up to date, live as possible scoreboard. Please do not hold on to scores. If you have any score related problems, please contact Wolf

c. All games must be completed and submissions received no later than 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time on August 5th.
Any scores submitted after this time will not be valid. Again, submit early and often.

d. Adjudication
Players may play on MAME, stream from arcade cabinets, or play on the RU site (using score mode and submitting completed games). Saving your INP or recording your game is encouraged but screenshots* are acceptable. Disputes with game play (if any) will be handled on a case by case basis and reviewed by all sites. Let’s make every effort to avoid disputes for everyone’s sake.

* It is up to the player or individual team to manage their screenshots or files. Please do not send these files to us unless requested

e. Joining this contest

Players not already registered on a site are no longer eligible to play. Existing site members may join

IGB Contest Revision: As of July 8th (one week into a five week contest) no new player additions will be added for any team. This is a revision from "existing site members" may join at any time. this was supposed to be a rule but we never caught during review

As a reminder, this is an honor system tournament. Play accordingly and with generally acceptable rules in mind. If in doubt as to what is and is not legal, ask. Sites are encouraged to ensure that their player submissions are in line with player capabilities.

2. Submitting your score
Players should submit their scores via this Google Form. [GameEx form]

Players will need to submit scores via this form for the score to be validated, otherwise expect a day turn-around to see the score updated.

Please submit early and often so we may maintain an up to date, live as possible scoreboard. Please do not hold on to scores.

3. Scoreboard (explanation)
Your Team's top five high scores (best score per player) on each game will earn you points for the contest Leaderboard. These top five qualifying scores are now ranked against the other sites top five high scores. Team score is based on a rank tally with the lowest score tally earning your team the best Leaderboard position.

Should a team fail to submit five scores on particular game, missing submissions will automatically receive last place rank. Last place rank with three teams would be 15.

Improvements for Frogger and Elevator Action and a new score for Road Fighter

Frogger - 10,930

Elevator Action - 16,750

Road Fighter - 28,490

[ExedExes]

A new round of scores! I see we have many games that have 2-4 scores, let's try to get them filled in team!

Also, my score for Frogger is not showing up on the top 5 section of the scoreboard, even though I submitted it. The rest of my scores look fine.

Scattershotgun Scores Part 3 -

Magic Sword - 224,188

Pepper II - 37,490

Pinball Action - 275,220 (I had trouble entering initials, but this is my score)

Pooyan - 114,150

Raiden - 276,440

[Mame Offender]

Yeehaw! My first submission for the tournament!! I hope this makes a little impact, and I think I can improve on this.

This game paved the way for the vertical scrollers, imo. Lots of credits spent on ol Raiden.

I was off to a strong start on this run, look at the bonus for staying alive!!

I died on the fourth, careless death.

557,820

[Mame Offender]

I like this one quite a bit more than the original Mr. Do.

Da Do Run run run, da Do run run.

113,040

[DazzleHP]

Is there a romlist anywhere for these games? I'm trying to make a custom list for GameEx and also want to make sure i'm playing the right set.

@MO - nice Raiden score man!

Could I perhaps get a copy of the map file you're creating ?

Sure thing! I'll post it tomorrow

Some pretty nice scores there

I enjoy a few weeks off so I'll be defintely submitting scores in the next few days. Go Team GameEx !

[Yung-Jedi]

Looking at the overall team scorecard, it is not looking good boys, not looking good at all.

We've got a lot of amazing players on our team, no doubt, but it is looking awful grim comparing to the big boys.

DKF & RetroUprising = good grief.

Anyone have any thoughts on this comp thus far?

The reverse scoring, less points is worth more (like golf) is kinda odd.

Perhaps we can make a push to fill in some more scores and get out of last place?!

[DazzleHP]

I've not had a good run (yet, RL stuff) and think i'll get some gooduns in, but try and be patient as a lot of members have busy lives, RL circumstances can get in the way at times etc. I'm sure the team will rise up when they can Have faith brother

[DazzleHP]

As requested here is the custom MAME list containing all the IGBOTY titles (right-click, Save As...):

IGBOTY2014.ini

NOTE: If you are using MAME 0.146 or lower you will need to change raidenb to raiden in order to be playing the right version.
