hansolo77 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Here's my 1st entry!Score: 26050Initials: HANKinda sucks, I noticed (at least for me) that it doesn't save the in game scores after you close it down. I had 1 score (only like 7k) and closed it down then I reopened it an hour later or so and that score wasn't there anymore. Oh well. Side Note: this game is a LOT harder than it used to be on the Atari. LOL! Still, it's fun. I think the player's ostrich moves a lot faster side to side than on the Atari.Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzleHP Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I compiled my own to allow it as well, but it doesn't work for this game for me. It works on a bunch of the others though.Do you have both hi and nvram directories in your MAME folder? Some games require one while some the other. The hi folder doesn't get automatically created, well not in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah, I have the /hi folder and a joust.hi file, but whenever I load up the game all the ram gets cleared out. Probably some switch I have to enable somewhere on the game (not via dips, but the other way). I'll play around with it and see what I can turn up.

stephen Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 >>Extra Men Every: 0000Does this mean NO extra men? Or is it a typo. The default is "extra mount every 20,000 points".>>Men For 1 Credit Game: 5>>Difficulty of Play: 5>>Special Rules: This is a Single Player Only Variation! You cannot kill more than ten [10] pteradactyls per wave or the score will be disqualified on grounds of point-scrabbing.I did NOT kill more than 10 pterodactyls in any wave.

stephen Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 BTW, even though it is not allowed for this competition - I challenge everyone to try to kill 10 pterodactyls in a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 >>Extra Men Every: 0000Does this mean NO extra men? Or is it a typo. The default is "extra mount every 20,000 points".I have changed it to 20,000 points. We're now using the marathon settings for this game. I have changed the link to Twin Galaxies in post #1. It doesn't effect any of the scores submitted. It uses the same settings (internal default) but it states you get an extra men every 20,000 points. Thank you for noticing Stephen EDIT: just to be clear > if you haven't changed any settings in the past (I don't even have a "dip switch menu option" for this game) you don't have to change anything as you have to use the internal default settings.>>Special Rules: This is a Single Player Only Variation! You cannot kill more than ten [10] pteradactyls per wave or the score will be disqualified on grounds of point-scrabbing.I did NOT kill more than 10 pterodactyls in any wave. I think you really have to be a pro player to be able to kill more than 10 pterodactyls in one wave We do however show you this rule because we're using the Twin Galaxies settings for each of our hi-score games.Edit: In case it isn't obvious - STF stands for Stephen, and my score is 148,850.You're really raising the bar with this score. You could well be the first one winning a GOTM competition twice. But the October competition has just begun and I like a challenge Great job Stephen Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 That... score... is.... INSANE!! Wow way to go Stephen! An yeah, I've always known about the 0000 thing. I wasn't sure what to do since that was exactly how it was posted on Twin Galaxies. I just copy/pasted the whole thing. Maybe it means you're not allowed to play with extra lives over their, or maybe its just a missing typo they just never saw. Either way, GC fixed it and all's well.
