SMB: how do you jump to the top of the flag pole?
BadMouth:
Might try disabling triple buffer and disabling vsync.
Not sure how much of a delay it would take to throw you off.
I remember not being able to hit the top of the flagpole either, but didn't think too much of it at the time.

;D Jump while holding down run from right there, one pixel before you're not touching it anymore.

While I know NES emulation still isnt 100% perfect, I can hit the top of the flagpole playing NESter on my Dreamcast. Dodging a Mike Tyson punch isnt the same as the flagpole jump, the timing isnt that precise.

NESter has a shorter stack from the controller to the cpu. It doesn't have an encoder in the path and the hardware is optimized for reading that switch closure. A MAME cab isn't going to perform quite as well if the software is equal. It's not as optimized a path from his button to the cpu. Add in any inefficiency in the emulation of the Vs board, or in MAME itself, or in his configuration of MAME, or even in the button plunger's alignment in his CP, and it can lead to this in certain situations.

with all that ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- being said, there's no way that there is enough delay to hit the bottom of the flag pole.
EDIT: Good news is the score doesnt mean ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in SMB
Le Chuck:
Rather than chase the rabbit down relays and switches and processors shouldn't we apply occam's razor to this problem?
Problem: OP can't hit the flag
Ability to recreate the problem: Zero, everybody else seems to be doing fine
Additional info: OP admittedly never played the game much
Simplest solution: OP stinks at SMB
Recommended action: Practice or give up. I can't play defender worth a crap, don't really care, also don't assume defender is somehow broken.
