Ms Pacman...
When there are only 4 or so ships on the screen, they will all dive bomb / attack at once.
When you shoot a yellow ship, any flying ships will stop firing. Also, all ships will return to formation and pause for a few seconds.
If you let a yellow ship fall through to the bottom at the end (...
You only get one shot at a time, so try to build up your accuracy by picking off flying ships.
You get more points for a ship in flight than one that is in formation.
Ships generally fly down from the far sides of the formation ( other than the yellow / 2x red combo )
As soon as you hit a...

Meant to say one last thing...
- Disable dip switch settings
Playing the game as default will make sure that players are all on the same field. Eg a player can switch Donkey Kong to have up to 6 lives instead of the default 3.

Just thought...
If every game is able to store a global high score, and also a monthly one ( maybe even just for the previous month, and the current month ), this would allow...
- Globally tracked overall best scores
- Monthly tracked competition ( highlight X games, community can join in and play one or more...
Also, for UI, assuming more than the compo games will be shown...
Show icon showing 2/3/... games for the next compo
Clicking any game name will load the high scores on the right, along with a launch button, rather than launching directly
Have separate compo high score vs all time high...
Nice one - I briefly was number 1 in Galaxian, will def try give Link some good competition over March ;)
Will try out MsPacman too, it's good to have a choice of games for the monthly high score compo but not too much choice :)
For top scores, maybe allow all scores to be shown until say...
Has anyone had any luck running Porsche Challenge? I cen get it to around the menus, then a load of coloured blocks appear on-screen.
It might be due to the fact that it runs at 60fps ( 50 on PAL ).
> Touchscreen (after calibration) is waaaaaay off
I had this issue when I accidently double-tapped the screen.
- the first top-left graphic appeared to click on
- the accidental second ( / double ) click was associated with the next top-right graphic
- the 3rd bottom-left graphic was...

CPU clock settings: I find it confusing, that the icon for these settings always shows "500". This suggests on first glance, that the CPU is set to 500 MHz. I suggest changing this icon to something more generic, e.g. a CPU chip icon or an analog gauge icon,

One more thing, said Columbo ( while waiting on new beta to run )...
When the updater starts, it gives the option to ALT and Right to see more detailed stats.
On screen 1, when it finishes, you get...
Update Finished

- press Enter to power off
However...
I think this was mentioned ages ago - on the boot screen ( hold down right shoulder ), is it possible to have selection as enter as well as the joystick button?
New ( and existing :P ) users will prob use the arrow keys to select the option ( eg boot from SD ), and then press Enter and think...
Rise of the Robots.

Only kidding :)
My brothers and I actually did own this on PC ( more as a fingers up to Atari and Amiga owning friends, who had all the cool fast action / fun games but didn't have the then new VGA 256 colour graphics )...
Very cool indeed! With suitable icons, this will def rock!
This would be very very cool...
Have an option to toggle the status of each of the icons on the main tray ( ie have more icons placed beside the spanner icon ), eg I would show speed and current wifi connected, but not bluetooth.
