So you got over 1 mil. and had quite a few lives left, but then you lost them all pretty quickly - did you just stop playing there on purpose as the score was already way over anyone else's pathetic abilities, and so that was enough to show it off, like Billy Mitchell did in King of Kong? That's way too cool, and taunting! You got my attention buddy, I am starting to get motivated and I'm warming up, perhaps not for this game, but better watch out what next game are you going to choose! Your reign is coming to an end... brace yourself, here I come!!!

I just couldn't get past that part of the stage. I wasn't even close to getting past it when I recorded, but the .inp file is corrupted somehow, so it fails even before I did.

Too bad Rygar has already been played in competition. I have a 4 million plus score (on the arcade PCB). But I have a nice game in mind already.

I'm also not connected, I was playing on my laptop so far, but I can transfer files by taking out hard drive from the cabinet and connect it to another computer with Windows and internet connection. That's very inconvenient, yes, but if you have USB port on your cabinet computer it could be very simple to transfer .hi files with USB stick. 

I tried this with .141, .88 and .97, and I don't see why would any other version produce different format, so I think it should work, but it's always best to actually try, then we will know for sure.

I don't mind doing that while I'm here, but the part of motivation for me is that you could see my score on your cabinet, otherwise this feature looses it's full charm potential. If at least half of the people actually decide to use it, then I suppose the whole thing would feel "official" and purposeful enough to justify manual score inserting (for the lazy ones).

It worked for you? No lost scores or other problems?

So, how do you like the idea of "shared scoreboard"?

Yes that was me.  I was in a hurry and couldn't think of how to write AlienInferno any better.  Probably should have just put AI.

Yeah it seems like it worked.  I only tried it that once.  I like the idea honestly.  Would be nice if you could set it up automatically for every mame game.  I just think it would be neat to be playing against other people's scores.  Just like an arcade.  You could be winning one day, leave, come back the next and knocked to last place.  Would be worth setting up my cab with wireless internet access just for this IMO.

Awww, I wish you would be more like Billy Mitchell, more taunting kind of person, you know? Anyhow, does that, what you said, mean the game gets much harder at that point or you just lost concentration by that time, or something?

Aha, statistics is on my side now, I can already see you will pick one of "my" games. There is no escape, it will be the end of you, enjoy your supremacy while it lasts, girly-autofire-man!
