Still fresh, damnit!
I like the idea of those two modes, although I'm not sure how they'd interact. Would anything in the 'all time' mode be ineligible for the 'competition' mode? If not, winning a competition could be a formality for anyone who managed to score their all-time high score on a Pandora, so could be a very high target for any combatants.
I see two ways round that - either only run high scored entered in the competition period against each other (but then add them to the all time list once the competition's done), or only put games in the all-time list once they've been competed against. The latter solution ensures all games have a decent set of scores to begin with, while the former would let you record your high score against every (MAME) game you play. I think I prefer the latter solution personally.
Playing it again I've not only scored a passable score, but also it has been recorded, so I guess I must've quit last time one of the times you rebooted. I was worried for a second that it'd not recorded my account creation, but it seems that's not the case
One comment regarding to current implementation if I may - it'd be nice if the launcher didn't disable the nubs so that I didn't have to use the touchscreen. Or add keyboard navigation to the launcher options, I guess.
