greets,
is pausing a game in mame to take a break seen as 'ok' or is that frowned upon?
also, what about watching youtube videos (or faq's/guides) of pros so you can discover secrets or ways to get high scores, is that something which is accepted?
popsicle:
I think pauses are ok. We all have spouses, kids, jobs, etc. that interrupt our nerd wars from time to time.
Actually if you look through the various game threads you'll find people link to game play videos or give tips and strategies right up front. It's a friendly competition after all :cheers:
adder:
cool, i agree both should be seen as 'ok' :)
a suppose a pcb owner would be at a disadvantage though because they cant pause it.. but anyways ;D

^This -- Figure Pauses are OK but Save States are not (since with a Pause it is still a single game play while with Save state you might be tempted to try more than once from the position you saved at !
