New *Official* WORLD RECORD holder of GUN SMOKE! - MAME & Dedicated *2,247,650

[mrclean]

good news is i recorded it today and beat the world record yet again, not as high as when i wasn't recording (died foolishly a buncha times) but where it stands now I have 2,192,900 but more importantly on video tape!

Nice work, Josh! (How long does the average game take, by the way?)

[mrclean]

I just need a program to compress these gigantic 4 gig files while retaining enough quality to fit it onto one dvdr if that's even possible..

Nice work, Josh! (How long does the average game take, by the way?)

Just about 1 Hr.

That thing only has one button. WTF?

[mrclean]

yes i know of the "one button" Gun.Smoke machines, basically they had what was called "get well kits" there is a NOS one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/NOS-Gunsmoke-Arcade-Get-Well-Kit_W0QQitemZ220288861891QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 the member on ebay is also "nocashvalue" on KLOV forums, preston also was responsible for getting Gun.Smoke sticker sets reproduced after jeff at rotheblog vectorized / cleaned them up.

More about the 1 button is basically where you walk it fires so to speak, personally i think it's dumb and takes away from the game play I have not really seen many Gun.Smoke cocktails other then in JAPAN it's a conversion but still rare i think i see atari cone buttons hard to tell from that picture.

Which means what?

Yeah, like Berzerk. Eeek.

Hey, mrclean, I'm comin for ya. One day. Heheheheh.

Not to shabby Ummon, Ive been focusing on setting up Hyperspin on my MAME cab and according to Bill a new update should be out this weekend.

Oh yeah and as for the actual Arcade record according to an email i recieved from Stephen Boyer from Twin Galaxies he said that they don't except JAMMA games ? that makes no sense to me at all, I used a JAMMA adaptor to safely convert the original PCB pinout. I have the record on DVD and will decide who to send it to, Possibly Kelly Flewin in Canada because he was the one that reviewed my MAME record. All i know is that ive beaten the legit arcade record several times and now have one of those runs on dvd, it would really irritate me if they wouldn't except it as ive followed all of the TG rules / settings. I wonder how much money it is to send a disc/jewel case to Canada, from the USA, ive been lazy ive had it for a month already.

If the shipping $ is a concern, PM me, I will give you the $.

It doesn't say anything in the rules about Jamma? I guess the worry there is hacked boards - not that you couldn't hack a real one and they wouldn't likely know the difference. This whole old school video thing is getting ridiculous, though I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I sent in my actual recording to twin galaxies with the score of 2,192,000 and I neglected to show the PCB in the start of the video so they had declined my submission. After moving into my new house I figured it was time to once again re-submit a run... This time I showed the PCB in the start of the video and got a new High Score of 2,247,650 on the dedicated machine ! Finally after a few months Kelly R. Flewin (A twin galaxies score keeper / reviewer) got back to me, and said;

there's only 1 main hurdle preventing me from getting this taken care of and the hurdle is.. there was no submission form with the record. I checked the case, I checked the package and nothing.

I'd simply need you to use the online submission form for the score of 2,247,650 and print out that sheet and mail it and everything will fall into place.

Outside of that, I wish to informally congratulate you on this incredible record. With the big classic titles coming down, this news is definitely going to be the icing on the cake!

So at this point it's just a matter of printing out that  form filling it in, and sending in and then I will finally have both the MAME and dedicated machine records!

Also for those that wish to check out the conversion from the taito cabinet (once was a Mr. Do) be sure to check out my website... http://HTTP://WWW.GUSCADE.COM

Wow. Congrats! Hopefully they'll announce it on the main TG news page once it's offiicial.
       

Time to change what's under your name:
"Gun.Smoke - 2,370,650 Dwayne Richard's going down"

Congrats on the record! Yeah, they're picky about not showing the PCB, as you could be running MAME or a modified board or something. On one of your older postings, I definitely know they accept JAMMA games, including older PCB's with JAMMA adaptors. A friend who has a couple records on a cab he built himself (basically looks like a countertop cab). He wired it JAMMA, then bought JAMMA converters for his PCB's. He has the D2K record, and Moon Patrol (until a couple days ago) using it. All those JAMMA converters do is change the pinout of your PCB to fit the JAMMA standard anyway, so there's not really any shenanigans in them.

I see your record is really official now! (it's showing up on the scoreboard verified as of 10-7-2009) Congrats!

[Ginsu Victim]

Awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks! It's funny I would check periodically and finally tonight I just saw it was posted. Again it would not of been possible without BYOAC & KLOV...so thanks again to everyone. Right now i'm focusing on expanding my games / collection, how ever I've never been and I still really want to shoot out to funspot to show off my gun slinging talent. Who knows maybe in May / June of 2010.
