Pbbbbblt.Lets get some more modern stuff in there for us younger ones. Would love to see shooters like R-Type, Darius, and Gradius added, and maybe some beat-em-ups in the vein of Final Fight or TMNT.
I'll try.Kumaki, try picking ones that've been mentioned, since theres a good spread and gets people interested (though at the same time, picking peoples favsd means theres usually a clear dominator, which is annoying -- if you're going to hit all 10,000 roms in a row, it'll take you forever, and only a few meaty ones that people really want, and they'll be in alphabetical order
Verify R-Type, Frogger, Scramble, AD&D Towers of Doom, Time Pilot, Gradius if it works at all, Road Blaster, I dunno, stuff mentioned.

I would LOVE to see defender on the list!It is HUGELY easy to set up, and this could give Pandy a LOT of good publicity!
I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with this thing! Now we just gotta get even more games in there! Would love to see Bosconian, New Rally X and Alpine Ski. Those would be fun! Sinistar would be fun too, even though I suck at it!
Defender would be a pile of fun, too...so would Joust. Oh, god I could go on all day with games that would be awesome to have.
I have GOT to get myself a USB joystick that works with Pandy, though, becuase I could score a LOT higher if I had a REAL JOYSTICK instead of the thumb pad. In particular, I'm thinking Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man.
They're all the default ones rather than any variants (if you use Mame on a PC with a GUI, it'll be the one that comes up first in a search for that game) -Points:
1. We need an up to date list of ZIP files needed. It's already understood that these need to be .106, but exactly which ones do we want?
Made a dedicated thread for this here, looks like ASMO has been busy already...
I don't get much free time like years ago, so if anyone wants to comb through these two threads, and ..
i) try each game someone wants, and verify that if you register a score, and then quit panmame, and try it againm your score is still there? if so, make a list of these passing games in panmame, and let us know in one post.
ii) if you really want to help, then clear your hi/foo.dat (foo being the mame game name), and then restart panmame and run that game; then quit, and capture the .dat file
iii) even better, then run panmame again, get a hiscore, and capture that new .dat file
Then send me the list of games that are working with hiscore saving, and also the vanilla (untouched) dat file, and the dat file where you've gotten a score in it.
Those items will let me add new games quick.

You don't have to actively compete; you can just play, and if you happen to get onto a scoreboard.. great! Remember it also tracks an all-time scoreboard for each game, which is much easier to get on and stay on (top-500 and allI just wanted to say that i'v recently got a very time consuming job. There's no way i'd be able to compete anymore.
I do not know you personally but I can say with conviction that you Sir Skeezik have done so much for this commmunity. You do not suck but rather you are luck and we are lucky you are here. ...cheap rhymeYou don't have to actively compete; you can just play, and if you happen to get onto a scoreboard.. great!

I will also be adding a 'personal bests' type scoring, to let you see your own profile page with your scores ranked, that sort of thing. Keep it fun for people like me, who suck
