Game competition #5: Mame - Robotron 2084
DeLuSioNal29:
.inp recording is the way to go. A lot smaller and you can post it here. Mng files are too big.
Try going to the MARP site for help:
http://marp.retrogames.com/record.htm
But here is a breakdown:
- place the contents of the zip file attached to this post to your MAME directory.
- go to the c:\ prompt and navigate to the MAME directory. To do this in Windows: Click on Start, Run, type in "cmd" (no quotes) and hit enter. Type in "cd c:\mame" (no quotes) (or wherever you have mame installed). The prompt should now be in the mame directory.
- Type: record robotron (hit enter) This will automatically record a file named "robotron" to the inp directory. You can later rename the .inp file to whatever you want when you post it. (give it the .inp extension when you rename it)
You can do the same to playback .inf files:
- Type: playback robotron robotron (hit enter)
It will automatically play it back.
You must have the EXACT version of MAME to play it back. So let us know what version you are using.
Hope this helped!

Yeah, Havok, that's a nice idea. I've been using P360s with bat tops for years now. I did play a sort of robotron that I think had some sort of ball tops at a Gameworks and got at least 800k, I think. However, my all-time high is above a million in mame (using my P360s). If the other night is any clue to thing, I bet I'd do better with two U360s fitted with my special restrictor modification. I already have a couple/few scores above 500k since the start of the thread, I've just been lazy in posting. Also note, this version is easier than the yellow/orange label, of which I actually sometimes prefer, but blue is the parent set.

Okay, here's a new score. Default settings is level 3, but I went in and set it to 5 to check it out. I don't know if it was that much harder or what. Oh, I also changed the name entered to allow seven characters. I recorded it, but when I do playback, it says 'ended: out of sync". I dunno. This was on MameUI .128 .
Ummon:
Here's a little better one, though I set the difficulty back to 3.

I tried level 10 today for the first time, and the game is much more intense. I was getting 150,000 most of the time and I finally got one good game in. I don't know if I can challenge your million score, but I plan on keeping level 10 as my default. It's actually more fun because the games are shorter now. :)
