SD Gundam Psycho Salamander no Kyoui

doesn't seem to load in mame2003. not looked into other cores.

Works fine for me.

Edit: With lr-mame2010 the background music works. I didn't realize it was missing from lr-mame2003

The game seems to work the smoothest with lr-fbalpha

[dankcushions]

@obsidianspider yes, works for me now also! only thing i changed was getting rid of my shader config files.. strange. anyway, as much as i love gundam, it seemed a bit of a dull game!

[obsidianspider]

This week's winner is Pac-Mania!

Not that many voters in here, but I really like the concept.
Once my arcade build is finished, count on me to join this little club :)

[dankcushions]

pacmania is fun so far! remember: you can jump in this one.

it works in fbalpha but the hiscores aren't saving - they do after a code change but i have only just submitted it, so it won't be live until the next fba.

it seems to work fine in mame2003 anyway, and hiscores save :)

[dankcushions]

for pacmania, i suggest that we all start on the first level as the others have different bonus. note that if you insert a credit before the game over screen, you start on the stage you got to, so you need to wait for it to finish.

[obsidianspider]

I really wish there was a way to zoom out. It's hard to know where all of the ghosts are lurking, but being able to jump helps quite a bit.

@obsidianspider

being able to jump helps quite a bit.

Until the ghosts gain the same ability. After that, I wouldn't recommend using it. It eventually becomes far more effective to use the old evasive tactics. This game's a killer in the higher levels.

@mediamogul @obsidianspider For me it is so damn hard sometimes, but it is something else than the good old pac-man. Going to join the ROW next week, good job

@obsidianspider
I just picked up a Pac-Man 256 Plug 'n Play toy by Bandai/Namco and it has Pac-Mania built into it. I might give it a try on there! I believe all the games on there are the arcade versions (you even have to hit a button to emulate inserting a coin).

It also comes with Pac & Pal, New Rally X, and Bosconian which are past MAME ROW selections lol.

i'll open the scores with 121710:

@dankcushions Are you seriouse right now? How, I guess I'm so bad at this, lmao

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

You gotta get inside the mind of Pac-Man. What are his motivations? Why does insist on running from his ghosts and more importantly, why is he only able to confront them with pills?

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul Oh, I see!
I have to understand my mission

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

Exactly. The same questions can be used to better understand the music of Elvis Presley also.

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul Lmao

Btw. is your pb a generated one? If so, it is freaking awesome, if not, well, it is as well
Reminds me of some good stuff

[mediamogul]

@DarkWolf

PB? Good stuff?... I'm not gonna have to call an adult am I?

For seriously though, what do you mean by pb?

[DarkWolf]

@mediamogul

I'm not gonna have to call an adult am I?

No, not really

PB = Profile Picture
