[Release] Compo4all MAME - ladder/scoreboard competition for classic arcade games :)

[levi]

FWIW, I've been tending to refer to this as ROT or ROT2, but that's mainly because I was involved in ROT1 and want to emphasise the continuity. I guess this is a much bigger thing though (while in some ways being more provincial, as this is the openpandora boards only, while ROT1 was a GP32X boards thing).


So pick a new name and I'll try to stick to it. I personally find Compo4All a bit clunky (and I also have never been a paricular fan of sticking '4All' after the name of things), but I could live with C4A.


Regarding gaming the system, seems to me there's a big difference between hex editing a score file and hitting the continue button occasionally in a fit of pique. If the latter could be at least made less automatic for some of us, that's a worthwhile goal.

Well, why not just call it "Retro Online Tournament" instead of C4A?

I think the point is that there are already leaderboards for games that are brand new for the Pandora, and not necessarily only retro games.

Thats what we're asking her.. peoples opinions (if any), so we can pick one.

People hate polls.. but should I make a new thread, for a poll?

[NearTao]

I think I misread the question

I love polls!

Thanks for adding Black Tiger, hiscore recording seems to work just fine
The 'local' arcade is looking pretty awesome now.

 

[Kumaki]

Wiki page

Still a bit bare at the minute, will try and flesh out some more later.

 

[skeezix]

I'll note the wiki page in the first post; I'll add some info to it..

[skeezix]

Hmm, I just noticed.. we're upt o 26 titles in the list now, but the c4a graphic site isn't showing them all and looks funny.

I'll bug milkshake

But they should all show up appropriately in the frontends and play fine, etc.. its just the graphical website issue.

jeff

Added support for some new indie titles .. TBA

 

[skeezix]

Added a bunch of little details to the dev page:

For Kumaki--

Frogger is added, not tested much as I'm in a rush and had to do some code changes to handle it.

Please beat up Frogger, and the newer releaserd stuff to make sure it didn't break (Black Dragon, Burger Time, etc)

jeff

did a couple quick tests.. at least frogger is trivial to get onto the high score table -- looks like Frogger is working okay, and I didn't break the existing games like BlkTiger etc So good to go.

 

[Kumaki]

Cool, thanks!

 

[Silent-Hunter]

It's 50 megabytes, does that mean it comes with all the supported games already?

 

[mcobit]

No. You nees to get the roms yourself.

 

[Kumaki]

Correct.  It is only the emu.

But roms can be obtained if you know where to look.  Can't help you there, though.  At least not publicly.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

No. You nees to get the roms yourself.

Is it against the rules for you to tell me if ones from certain places online that we will not mention on the boards will work?
