HI-SCORE: worldwide sharing & public competitions (easy way)
(1/22) > >>
torino:
I've heard people have been successful in sharing high scores over internet with "Dropbox" (virtual on-line folder), which works transparently with MAME as if high score files were actually stored on a local disk. http://www.dropbox.com/

How about we open Dropbox account to serve as some kind of official BYOAC/MAME scoreboard server? Something like Twin Galaxies, but simpler, completely automatic and without need to have judges, maybe even spice it with weekly competitions and daily challenges, add user ratings, statistics... and what not?


C O M P E T I T I O N, it is the only aspect of "arcade nostalgia" that is still missing from MAME. That feeling of beating a high score is not quite the same if no one is there to see it, and especially if the score you just beaten is not your own. Can this be "emulated", can we make this?
Nephasth:
That would be cool. But I would never have my MAME computer hooked to the interwebs. I would be willing to upload from a flash drive, but that wouldn't be real time.
torino:
What do you mean, what is it you dislike about having internet connection?
ptinolv:
I like the idea.

Does it require that everyone uses the same Mame version ? It may be also hard to control cheating.
