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

[TOK]

If they'll let you record inside, you can do a videotaped submission. I think the only games that have to be refereed are the controversial ones like DK.

Get wolfmame106 version for TG. For MARP you can use every wolmame version. And welcome to in World of the Best Players
I will wait for your replay. Remember about right settings for TG. For MARP you can use TG or default game settings. And remember about rules, some are different on TG and MARP.
If you have problem how to use wolfmame then go to MARP board.

[Ginsu Victim]

he's already got wolfmame106 from TG.

[Ummon]

Yeah, NH is only a couple hundred miles at most. Probably the best time to do it is during their annual tournament.

[mrclean]

Yeah I'm going to need to read up on wolfmame i was able to get it to create a inp / and wlf file however 2 problems is that MAME 106 to me when playing that game the video seems stretched unlike the "pixel aspect" that i'm used to in 125 /126 MAME and overall the graphics dont seem the same not sure why also when playing back the file I can't seem to see me hitting "tab" in MAME to show what setting's im using for the game to make sure i'm not cheating in anyway 

[Ginsu Victim]

It won't show TAB.

[destructor]

MARP Team has special tools to read input config, probably some TG people have this tool too. If not, then it's possible to compare gameplay on different settings.

[mrclean]

the pixel aspect thing for me is huge , i'm surprised they didnt go with MAME 107 And up yet because that's when that video option was available

[destructor]

What video option you want?

[mrclean]

I think under video options in MAME 125 i set it on Pixel aspect 7:8, I don't think that can be done on MAME 106 which is the accepted version for submitting

[Ummon]

I think it can. I've surely set different aspect ratios in any version of Mame32/UI and then just copy over a set of vanilla mame files and run mame.

[destructor]

Options -> Default Game Options -> Advanced -> Aspect Ratio -> in first field enter 7, in second field enter 8 -> click OK
If you start game and aspect ration still will not be 7:8 then knoiws that you change properties for this game. You must enter to game properties (right mouse click on game).

[mrclean]

i'm using the command line of wlfmame and i tried going to both TG and MARP forums registered and didn't get my account activated, and even emailed the admins.. i'm still trying to get MAME 106 on my vert monitor to be 7:8 , what do i need to put in the MAME ini file ? in MAME 125 i have it to options>video options>pixel aspect 7:8.. what needs to be done to my mame 106 ini to replicate that

*edit*
now on marp forums

When you donloaded zip with wolf106, inside package is command line and GUI version. Run Gui version and change properties, changes will save in ini file and will works in command line version.

mame.ini:
### Windows video options ###
hwstretch               1
screen_aspect           8:7

not sure but that didn't seem to work

[mrclean]

I know that this has nothing to do with my HS however it's mearly a continuation of my obsession, I finally came across an "Ultracade" machine and played this game.. and with Hyperspin still needing this theme i tried to copy / replicate it

This is my attempt to replicate off the "ultracade" machine Gun Smoke theme

I know that the timing is off, but just messin' around, personally I like my bullits theme the best


this is the actual ultracade machine one:

Manic, dude. You gotta hit up TG.

[mrclean]

We'll I finally did infact hit up TG, and after submitting a few over 2 million point scores, they did not accept them because I discovered the additional points that you can earn on level one with the flying dragon flies. They have since changed the rules because of me on that particular game::

Special Rules: This is a Single Credit game ONLY! Inserting more then 1 credit will risk your score being immediately disqualified

After resubmitting another run with the new rule set in place I'm now the official world record holder for Gun.Smoke in MAME with a score of 1,896,250. I'm currently building a dedicated/conversion for Gun.Smoke so I can also get that record as well.  I have since already sent in a score of 1,946,650 for MAME but they didn not update that yet, it took them aprx 3 weeks to post my first submitted score.

[Ginsu Victim]

Congrats.

I thought the rules for all games were single credit only.

[mrclean]

Not sure about that, but initially the person who reviewed my score thought that the inp was corrupt because of the amount of credits that i was inserting

[Ummon]

I think it is only one for all games. Makes sense.

[mrclean]

It's been a while since ive posted an update and I really didn't have a "project announcement" but instead of driving out to NH I decided to build my own conversion / dedicated Gun.Smoke to attempt / and eventually break the Non-MAME version of this game.

So here are some pics of my build :

*Also below was my first attempt at beating the world record ( I got pretty darn close my first try maybe beginners luck!)without any recording devices just wanted to see how different the MAME version was compared to the actual Arcade PCB, and to be honest I almost beat it my first try, I think MAME version is harder but a few variables exist such as different parts (thanks to a combination of Ginsu Victim / Bob Roberts, Tim at jammaboards, Mame Marquees, Ebay, Happ, Chad at Lizardlick & a buncha KLOVers; Killert6969 for the Mr. Do empty cab, falcon for the pcb, thebman for the marquee, and lastly not to mention the list is too long but all the members of BYOAC that helped me along just to mention a few helpers who walked me though a buncha thing and held my hand in the process.. peale, grantspain,Kevin mullens,ken layton.. and any one else i forgot, thank you so much !) joysticks / buttons and even monitors / emulation etc.

Thanks for giving me first credit! Cab looks great! What did you use that I sent you? The stick doesn't look like the one I sent.

I'm now the official world record holder for Gun.Smoke in MAME with a score of 1,896,250.

Awesome!  Welcome to the club.  It's a very dorky but cool feeling.

I still kinda new around here, so pardon me for not knowing. Chad, you have some MAME records?

[ChadTower]

I have the record for Clockwork Knight on the Saturn.     I did last time I checked, anyway.

[Ginsu Victim]

Good game. I need to get back into it. I've never gotten 'round to completing it.

[mrclean]

What did you use that I sent you? The stick doesn't look like the one I sent.

Yeah I used your wico base / gromet etc and just ordered a nos stick from bob

[ChadTower]

Good game. I need to get back into it. I've never gotten 'round to completing it.

Check your score when you do... let's just say my score is beatable.  It's not even my own best score.  It is the best score I managed to get on VHS.

[Ginsu Victim]

Even if the score was good, Twin Galaxies wouldn't be happy with me doing a swap trick to load my backup

[ChadTower]

Heh.  How do they make people send in scores now, anyway?  It can't still be VHS, can it?  I know before they wouldn't allow any digital formats because of potential editing.

[mrclean]

That's a good question as I'm about to start asking because I'm ready  I don't know the entire procedure involved other then the correct dipswitch settings, do i need to provide them with the serial on the PCB or video / show the dip switch setting etc. I think DV tapes are allowed from what i read a while ago.

[mrclean]

Too bad i didn't record this  , as it was my best score to date and would of been the new world record on a dedicated. "2,240,600".

[Ginsu Victim]

Nice job! Now you have to do it again!

[(+_+)]

!!! Way to go mrclean !!!

Whether or not you officially have the world record, you are a legend in your own mind to the tune of "The good, the Bad and the Ugly".
